Barry helped me to save my son's life. He so well represented him in our legal case; but, that was only a part of his excellence. He helped my son to survive with his knowlege of psychology , his compassion, caring and support, so my son did not act on his suicide thoughts. Barry helped him to m aintain his drug sobriety through an incredibly difficult and painful legal case. My son was suicidal from the angst of this case which required my son to look back at his years of child abuse and then into his past drug addiction. Barry worked with my son, my son's psychologist and with me to get through this ordeal. Barry followed through perfectly and quickly on any matter that needed attention. I never had to wait for a response in those difficult months which spanned well over a year. Quite an accomplishment! He developed positive relationships with the prosecution and kept things on as even keel as possible. I highly recommend Barry and am grateful to have found him.

20 years ago (1994) Barry saved my job at Georgetown University. I was since promoted and received several employee commendations. I retired from the university in 2003 and as a result of the staff benefits package, my son who was 5 years old at the time, received the dependent tuition. He graduated this month from the University of Maryland with honors. Although I have not spoken to Barry in over twenty years, I credit his wisdom, intelligence and fortitude for making this all possible for me, my wife Faith and Zach. We will be forever greatful. Which is why I have no problem with leaving my name.

Kobie is not only the hardest working lawyers out there, he is extremely intelligent and incredibly talented in the courtroom with his strong persuasion and communication skills. He is very well-articulated, aggressive, experienced, and a champion fighter. Having such a well-rounded individual is dif ficult to come across. Many lawyer nowadays take shortcuts and rush their clients into taking pleas. If you are facing serious charges, call Kobie and see for yourself. I have never seen anybody so well composed and calm under high pressure in the courtroom. So far, every battle, we have won against the Gov. Earlier this year, I was facing 15 years on a mandatory minimum drug case and Kobie has worked it down under five and we are possibly looking at probation and/dismissal. He never sets unrealistic expectations and is completely honest with the state of your case. He will fight for his life in order to get the charges dismissed while working to uncover any injustices of the Government and/or District Attorney that are against the law or unconstitutional, while upholding justice. He is committed to working his hardest fighting your case... even while being at a family wedding and on vacation with his family, he still keeps his phone and court files close by, working diligently. He is a machine. Unfortunately, I have fought other cases prior to my federal drug indictment.. My previous lawyers had more experience, however, they didn't do crap for me. They rushed me into taking a plea deal, doing minimal work. Don't make that samemistake. This is your Freedom and your life on the line. Trust Kobie. He fights as if your case is his own. He also has a new lawyer on the team, named Lauren Case who is very experienced (i believe 10-15 years), and has put in great work in my case. Don't hire a lazy lawyer who will rush you into taking a plea and/or cooperating without giving your case some work. Go with Kobie Flowers and his Firm.

I am one of the lucky people who has called Mark my friend since 2001. He and I lost touch for a number of years, but I always felt like if I ever got in personal legal trouble, Mark would be the first person I would call. And, he was. Last year Mark swiftly stepped in to defend me against a TRO file d by my (now former) upstairs neighbor to gain advantage against my husband in a longstanding condo dispute. It was a dark period in my life, but Mark was able to resolve the TRO matter and the longstanding condo dispute. Any client that Mark takes on is a lucky client indeed. I also echo many of the clients reviews about Mark being smart, commanding, and overall excellent attorney and strategist.

I served as local counsel on a 100 count multi defendant RICO, money laundering case. Mark Schamel was incredible. He orchestrated a tsunami of evidence, arguments and experts that overwhelmed and overpowered the Government. Over the course of 18 months, Mark removed a prosecutor from the case for mi sconduct, exposed the Governments overreaching and resolved the case after a corporate entity pled to a single misdemeanor charge. He is an amazing lawyer and an even better human being.

I met Mark over July 4th weekend in 2017. It's a remarkable journey since. He is a rare combination of intellect, knowledge, quick thinking, energy, passion, and compassion to his clients. He is a REAL trial lawyer. He discussed or emailed his plans along the way. He encouraged my involvement in the filings. As the defendant, one MUST involve in his/her case seriously, and I did. He was aggressive, but he knew when to be humble. This was particularly important in my case, as it took many unique turns. He executed well with an excellent outcome; a dismissal of multiple criminal charges in a federal court. We didn't always agree, but he respected my disagreement(s). I recommend him strongly in all criminal matters.

I have had the privilege of representing two mutual clients with Mark and, in one of those cases, serving as co-counsel. Mark is take charge lawyer in the courtroom who strikes the right balance of advocating as zealously as I have ever seen for a client, while maintaining the proper decorum and res pect toward the bench. From a pre-trial perspective, Mark is a creative thinker who develops a strategy and solution that is likely not apparent to most who would assess the situation. I continue to highly recommend Mark to clients who are in need of services in his area.

For anyone looking for legal counsel, look no further: Mark is your guy. He understands that the legal system can be a scary place, and he understands that you hire lawyers to help you navigate it. He understands the rules, and he understands the law. His experience speaks for itself. Even more impor tantly, though, Mark is an exceptional person who cares about you and how your case will impact your life. He fervently believes in people, and wants to be a positive force in the world. I learned these things when I worked with Mark on a pro bono case involving a wrongly convicted prisoner who is now serving a life sentence. Mark and his firm donated literally thousands of hours to this cause. Why? For the simple reason that they believed their client had been abused by our criminal justice system. They weren't looking for publicity; they were looking for justice. Mark and his colleagues did not just look to "check the boxes" or just say there were doing pro bono work. They committed themselves to pursuing justice, even though this meant years investigating the client's case, interviewing witnesses, constructing legal arguments, preparing for court hearings, filing briefs, and doing all the things that lawyers need to do to win a case. They did so with a single-minded focus on how these things would affect the client. They did so because they cared about doing what was right; not what was easy. Even though this meant long hours for them, lost time with their families, and enormous stress, they recognized that the cause--the client--was worth fighting for. Through it all, Mark treated everyone--clients and opponents alike-- respectfully. He understood that he was only as strong as his team, and he made everybody feel like they had a voice. Mark is a rare person. He is open about who he is. He is loud about his principles. He cares for people so much that that he is willing, time and again, to inconvenience himself. And, he stands up for people who feel bullied or alone. Mark is the best of us, fighting for people who sometimes get accused of being the worst of us. Why? Because he realizes we are all people. We all deserve somebody who cares about fighting for what's right. And, Mark is one hell of a fighter.

I contacted Cheryl with quite a challenging and unusual case. I contacted several attorneys and they all said they couldn't help with my problem, but she relentlessly attacked it and would not give up. She was a massive help in a very challenging time. I highly recommend her!

I had the privilege of working with Ms. Stein on a civil case, and I could not have asked for a better attorney. She showed tremendous hard work and dedication throughout the entire process, always making sure I was informed and prepared. When it came time for trial, Ms. Stein came in fully prepared and truly excelled in the courtroom. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and strong advocacy made a real difference in the outcome of my case. I am very grateful for her efforts and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and dedicated lawyer. Thank you, Ms. Stein!
