Good man but has definitely lost his passion for working as hard as he can for his clients. His reputation may get you a plea that is so so and he will always suggest you take it because, let's face it, it's cheaper and easier on him.

I was arrested in Ocean City, MD, facing serious charges and jail time. I called around and spoke with a few lawyers before I found Tom M.--one of which ensured to me, that given my record, I would certainly do jail time. He said that there was nothing any lawyer could do for me. I was extremely nervous as I am a single parent with a career, and a lot to lose. To make matters worse, court was scheduled during a blackout time frame at work. If I had to do any amount of jail time, I would have lost my job. Tom, however, was confident that he could help me, and he did! His friendly and positive demeanor helped to get through one of the most highly stressful situations of my life. He got me off all of the charges, even though the judge knew of, and mentioned my previous convictions. Tom was professional, understanding, affordable, and super responsive. I highly recommend! Thanks so much, Tom!
Review
I had a tough case but Tom is the best man for the job. Very professional and one of the best at his job. Talks well and knows his way around the court. Great lawyer with affordable rates.

The office of maronick law is wonderful, it’s hard finding law firms that are knowledgeable in their profession, they are indeed very knowledgeable. Very responsive and everyone is polite. I’d recommend everyone to them!

I cannot begin to express the gratitude I have for you and especially for the piece of mind that was bestowed upon me. I'm keeping your number in my phone because no one else will do. Thank you again!

Mr. Cochran answered his own phone (How about that!). Talked briefly with me and set up an interview immediately. I met with him...He was quick and to the point and told me not to give my case another thought. He called me to make sure I didn't forget about the court date and showed up on time . In the courtroom he was professional and took care of business quickly; the court ruling in my favor. No fuss no muss. I would recommend him for any criminal legal assistance that you can think of. He's a great guy. Very personable and worth every penny.

I strongly recommend him to anyone in need of legal help , great guy and I am thankful for his service and help ‼️‼️
Review
Got a traffic ticket, paid it and somehow the MVA did not put it in their system. This little situation escalated into a nightmare. I was referred to Drew from another Attorney in town that didn't handle these cases. Called Drew and he got it dismissed before I had to walk in the courtroom. He was professional, connected and made a tough situation go away easily. I highly recommend him!
Review
I hired Drew for a case. He always seemed so serious but behind that he always got the job done. His assistant Michelle is amazing and very responsive. I have had an ongoing case for almost 3 years now and was successfully closed yesterday Sept 3. I cant thank you enough. Guys you every get in trouble or just need advice he is your guy. I remember getting a vop case and he answered my phone calls at 2am and calmed me down. Truly truly a Jen. Thank you so much drew. I highly highly recommend him for any issues you may have whether it be criminal, or traffic. Thank you so much Drew for having my back and never leaving me to hang. Worth every yyyyyyyy penny. Thank you so much I can't stop thanking you. This nightmare is finally behind me . I can now rest easy and proceed with my life.
Review
To put it simply, Drew got me the positive outcome I couldn’t have gotten on my own. He listened to my story with understanding and compassion, and his expertise and experience gave him what he needed to guide me through a scary process. Drew is serious about taking care of his clients, but has a friendly and calming demeanor that invites trust and peace of mind. I highly recommend his services.

Seeing Mr. Trunnell's name on the 2021 poll list has prompted me to write a review of his service for me. I could have swore I've reviewed him once my case concluded, but I'm not seeing my original review. Anyhow, back in 2018 Mr. Trunnell helped me as my legal representative get through a very tough relationship legal issue (non-divorce related). He was empathetic the entire time, and I felt non-judgemental. It was an emotional time for me, and I remember calling him on his personal cell phone number at some odd hour in the night, and he answered me! I was in a crisis, thinking about doing something with legal reprimand against a family member in the moment that would have change my life forever. Mr. Trunnell did not tell me not to do it, but he did give me advice and guidance that helped me tremendously, I could tell he really cared about me as a person and a client. He really made me think on it, mentioning legal recourse, but also providing personal insight. He was very nice upon intake with me, providing personal experiences that shaped him as the man of law that he is today, as well as answering all my legal qustions and some personal ones. He truly has a lasting impact on my life to this day, and forever will. He concluded my legal case with optimal results that helped me personally, but also ultimately helped my spouse and I led to our reconciliation. He was understanding of my wishes during the trial and what I wanted in terms of a legal outcome, and a personal/marital one, and he was able to achieve both. Vote Trunnell on your 2021 poll, no one is better suited for the roll than him. We need a good law-man, and a good PERSON at the bench, and that is Richard all the way!
Review
I wrote a review before, it obviously got deleted. Mr. Trunnell, is a very charismatic man, but he needs to be more open to possibilities if a parent is a concerned about a child getting hurt by the other parent, its not good to dismiss it especially if the child is mentally/emotionally effected. Also I found out he is a judge now strange coincidence, I hope if I get him as a judge he will have a different perspective of where I was coming from with my concerns and looks at my evidence as a possibility instead of pushing it to the side.
Review
I found Trunnell Law in the internet I went there days after I had been arrested for an assault in second degree .Everything look bad, the pictures of the victim , the police statement . It was a case of self defense and Mr Trunnell developed an strategy for my case .The result : it was dropped after some 4 months. I felt in good hands since the first meeting with him .You can not go wrong in a criminal case with him.
Review
Front desk receptionist is rude and short. Bad first impression! Should’ve used that as a red flag. This firm is incompetent and correspondence time is ridiculously long. They snap at you if you attempt to follow up. Look elsewhere. Everything I court was a mess!
Review
I thank God that I was referred to Trunnell Law LLC from another highly respected attorney who was handling another case of mine. Rich Trunnell is an outstanding attorney who clearly knows his way around a courtroom. His almost three decades of experience is evident from the beginning and is a godsend when, and if, one has to go to court. Having Rich and his team on my side during many stressful and complicated court appearances is the best decision I ever made. Rich is well known and respected by the court system, and his reputation and track record prompt serious and meaningful resolution conversations with the opposing counsel. Rich is fair, knowledgeable and willing to compromise in the best interests of his client, but is also not afraid to go to court to uphold his client's rights and is not to be trifled with lightly. I can say that I am thankful that he was on my side of the case, as I would not want him to be on the opposing side - he is that formidable. I can without any reservations highly recommend Rich and his law firm to handle any legal issues or concerns. He is the most outstanding attorney handling family matters I have ever had the pleasure to work with and only wish I had him on my side much earlier in my court cases.

Mr. Ortega was a breath of fresh air from the moment I walked into his office. I only saw/talked to two lawyers regarding my case. I chose him because of his reassuring nature and confidence....and I'm happy I did. He's smart, savvy and diligent. Not long after reviewing my case, he had a plan. Though the pandemic significantly extended the timeline of the case, he personally kept in contact with me, informing of new developments along the way. I watched the reactions of several court house officials when he arrived. When they see him coming or hear his name, they know it's about to get REAL. Mr. Ortega's great reputation is well-deserved. If you are looking for effective, formidable representation, look no further.
Review
There aren't enough words to express how wonderful and amazing it was to work with Ortega Law, specifically Josh (I didn't work with his wife, but I'm sure she's as impressive). He's responsive, beyond helpful, knowledgeable, and caring. He even went over and beyond to assist me and answer all of my questions about something unrelated. I trusted him from the first conversation and knew that my best interest was of importance to him. His pricing was very fair, and although my case was dismissed, he was worth every single penny spent, and I have not one regret! I will recommend Josh over and over again, and should I ever need his assistance again or know of anyone who may need him, I will not hesitate to reach out. If I could give 100 stars, I would!
Review
They were amazing and very on the ball. Mr Ortega's assistant was on point and very timely on all questions I needed answered. I would highly recommend them to anyone that need legal services.
Review
First and foremost, 5 stars across the board for Josh, Windy, and their staff. They are very professional and extremely knowledgeable, and were extremely caring and supportive throughout the whole process. If you need an attorney that knows the AA County system, the “Fighting Ortega’s” will fight for you.
Review
I have worked with many attorneys in my line of work, one of which is now a judge, but Josh is truly the best of the best. To find someone that can work a courtroom like he can AND genuinely care about his client is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Our family hired this law firm to represent our Son based on a recommendation that was given to us. We could not have been more pleased with the service that was provided and feel our money was well spent in order for justice to be served. Hammad Matin and Jeremy Widder were the attorneys working on the case which ended in an acquital of all charges after a three day trial. Hammad and Jeremy were a light in the darkness. They had a genuine care, concern, empathy and compassion for what our family was going through. They felt strongly about the injustice that was presented to them and were dedicated to seek and fight for the truth to be known. Hammad promised me that he would make this case his number one priority at that time and that we would have our day in court. He fulfilled that promise and I am forever grateful.

Rob immediately got the case information and took charge. He was responsive and explained the options. He worked hard to ensure I was well represented and most importantly, he got the charges dismissed. He worked a hard case where the accuser changed her story and facts. He prepared the case thoroughly and I would recommend him without hesitation! If I ever need a lawyer, he will be my choice!

When we first met Mr. Siegel, He had offered us a free consultation, we were impressed with his professionalism, and knowledge and was able to tailor to our needs, and concerns, Very happy we were able to pick him.
Review
I have worked with Robert Siegle twice for different matters. He is a great attorney to represent you. His rates are very reasonable in comparison to begin with. The major reason to use Attorney Siegle is he provides very level headed honest informaiton to you. Several attorneys kind of brag how they know folks etc. and in reality they really do not just represent you based upon facts in court. Mr. Siegle did a lot of investigation into various laws to try and see different avenues. Very impressed with his handling of my issues in past.
Review
Grade A all the way! Mr. Siegel walked me thru my entire process and kept me well informed thru my court date. Never once did I have to wonder what was happening.

Rob Siegel has been a colleague of mine for almost 20 years. Rob has an excellent representation and when I have a case in which I have a conflict or I cannot take for another reason I always think of Rob first.
