We are very pleased with the results and would highly recommend this firm for will and trust creation. But there's a warning. You need to do your homework while you process the drafts and figure out what YOU want to do which may not be the easiest thing to do. Take the time. It took us more time than we expected (our fault) to review the draft documents. We did two hard copy drafts and one draft where we just exchanged the modifications. It's a journey, not a desitnation.

Now, I've worked with several lawyers in my career and up until then, I could honestly say that I had little trust/respect for the profession and it was with trepidation that we made an appointment with Marshall. I am so pleased to say that Marshall exceeded all our expectations and allayed our fears within our first appointment! He's a very warm and easy person to talk to and was so patient when answering questions or explaining things. It was a genuine surprise to find a lawyer we could trust and respect in such short order. Marshall kept in touch with regular status updates, as well as calmed our nerves with his extensive knowledge on the steps (plus average length of time) that these issues typically take to resolve. I cannot say enough good things about Marshall and the practice. I heartily recommend Marshall to anyone with similar issues -- you will not be disappointed with the results! (Thanks again Marshall!) (Note--We especially appreciated his willingness to give us an in-person appointment considering we were still in the midst of a pandemic and vaccines had not rolled out yet. Social distancing was practiced during our time there.)

From initial contact his team was professional and helpful. We were not the easiest case, but Mr.Ward heard us out. He was attentive, meeting with us multiple times leading up to court. I can't stress how important this was for us as we were quite anxious. Each time we met with Mr.Ward he took the time to hear our points, reassuring us that he would do his best. He never made false promises and was honest with the potential outcomes. Regardless of the outcome, I wouldn't have regretted working with Mr.Ward. He was professional, considerate and sympathetic to our situation. Lucky for us, he was really great at his job and helped my fiance with his legal trouble. I can't stress enough how much I would recommend Marc Ward. Seeking a lawyer can be a vulnerable process but his team is worth every penny. One of the best lawyers in western Maryland!

You feel like a priority and you can rest assure they will take care of the important details. They have hired Foley who is doing well. He remains calm under pressure and is able to stay focused on getting closing completed under stressful situations. When transactions can be of Historic properties, periodically their can be issues passed down. Over time, we've learned that when closing Historic properties and high end properties, it is worth having a quality title company you are certain to dot the I and cross the T. This title company might cost a little more than some Title companies but you see when that doesn't cause a problem because they did it correctly and you were a constant priority. Some Title companies you feel like a number and they are removed from the transaction as a group of un-named people took care of the details which have come up to have errors in the 9th hour which causes a lot of stress. So once you have experienced that stress in others closings, you realize where sometimes, it is essential to have the qualifications Salisbury, McLister and Foley have to make the important transaction as smooth as possible. Excellent firm! Excellent staff.

I'll try to be brief (never can be), but it's difficult because I have so many positive things to…read moresay. I was only a witness for a friend's very warranted malpractice suit, but I can testify to how effective and personable and attentive Attorney McCubbin and all staff were to me and the plaintiff. It is not just about the positive resolution to the case; it is also about the personal interaction with all Schreyer legal staff; beyond a positive resolution, it is sometimes as simple as people's tones of voice, their attention, and their expressions. It might be assumed that someone who is going to earn money from you - in any industry - will be polite, informative, attentive, patient, and expert, because they have the monetary motivation to be, if they are not naturally that way. But, sadly, we customers all know so many employees or businesses owners are inexplicably condescending, impatient, incompetent, or discourteous - if even only subtly. And it is disheartening and frustrating. But from the first exploratory phone call with paralegal/administrative staff at Schreyer, to the first phone call with Attorney McCubbin, and through every point of contact - whether email, phone call, or in-person - from depositions to the case's settlement, Attorney McCubbin and all others were exactly as I would think any person would want: GENUINELY friendly, responsive, empathetic, and knowledgeable. They made a very difficult time and somewhat daunting process tolerable, understandable, predictable - and winnable. I highly recommend Alpert Schreyer, LLC!

I would not recommend Scott or his office. Breeze Carvajal Frederick, MD
