An Experienced Trial Lawyer On Your Side of the Table
"Our firm was founded on the belief that people hire a lawyer because they want their entire legal problem handled efficiently and effectively. We offer the unique capacity to take on your complete legal problem and help you get the resolution you are counting on." - Thomas F. Ellis, III
Senior attorney, Thomas F. Ellis III, and associate, Shannon Elka Rusz, combine more than 40 years of experience for every client. Our attorneys' experience, skill, and confidence in the courtroom are considerable assets for anyone facing a legal matter.
We begin each case by preparing thoroughly for the possibility of trial. By doing so, we send a strong message to opposing counsel that we mean business. Often the best result can come from compromising and settling a case to the satisfaction of all parties. But when it is in our clients' best interests to take a case to trial, we are fully prepared and highly capable of doing so. As a client of our firm, you will have a strong advocate on your side.
Although most litigation matters are resolved outside the courtroom, it is critically important to prepare every case to win in court. Opposing counsel, whether it is a divorce lawyer, a prosecutor, or an insurance defense lawyer, knows when an attorney has properly prepared a case to win in front of a judge and jury. They know which attorneys are willing to take cases to trial to fight for their clients' rights.
We are proud to commit our entire practice to litigation.
Our experience includes:
•Personal injury: We aggressively pursue full and fair monetary compensation for people who have been injured as a result of negligence or misconduct by another party. Mr. Ellis has the benefit of having been an insurance claims adjuster and negotiator for 7 years dealing primarily with personal injury claims. Since we opened our doors in 1974, we have recovered millions of dollars in money damages on behalf of our clients.
•Family law: We know that your divorce may be one of the most trying times of your life. We are compassionate in our approach and passionate about protecting your rights and financial interests. We will help you get through this with a firm and clear vision of your new future.
•Criminal law: A conviction for a misdemeanor or felony offense will have a permanent impact on your future. We will work hard to help you avoid a conviction and the harsh penalties that can result. Our attorneys are qualified to practice in all state and federal court jurisdictions in Maryland.
•Civil litigation: Turn to us to protect your rights in disputes involving eminent domain, lease agreements, property rights, contracts, or other areas of civil disputes and lawsuits.
