Attorney Profiles

Our Maryland law firm, Barry Helfand, David Helfand, David Martella, and Raquel Smith, has lawyers with decades of experience offering aggressive representation of individuals, not corporations or insurance companies. For more than forty years the news has covered many of our success stories, and has written articles about our cases. Although most of our clients are regular folks, The Washington Post commented in an article about our firm that our client list is a “Who’s Who” of the metropolitan area.   We have been hired by, and referred cases by, judges, lawyers, politicians, television/movie personalities, police officers, courthouse personnel and others. Whether handling criminal cases, representing people accused of DUI and other traffic offenses, or representing clients with personal injury cases, car accidents, medical malpractice, or product liability cases, our firm always develops a personalized legal strategy for our clients.  Licensed to practice law in Maryland, Washington, D.C. we also have been called upon to handle cases in other jurisdictions. However, the bulk of our practice is handled locally throughout the State of Maryland and Washington, D.C.. Some of the main areas that we serve in Maryland include: Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, Frederick County, Howard County, Baltimore County, Baltimore City, and Anne Arundel County.

Please call our attorneys today to discuss all of your legal needs. Day or night seven (7) days per week; we want to help you.
