What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it
LFL Verified 2026
Every eligibility gate this firm's state allows us to check has been checked and held: licensure, discipline, entity, website and footprint. Certification additionally requires a score of 70.
1,119 client reviews
Counted across 3 verified Google Business Profile listings, not collected by us and not solicited through us.
4.92 average over 1,119 reviews
A high rating is easy at low volume and hard to hold at this one. Pillar C scores it against the market rather than against five stars.
Service in Spanish
Published by the firm on its own pages, which is how this was measured rather than assumed from a name.

G1 LicensureNot published by MDMaryland does not publish an attorney register we can query, so licensure is not verified here. The state's own attorney search is the place to check it.
G2 DisciplineNot published by MD1 of the firm's attorneys share a surname with a disciplined attorney, and for Reed J. Smith 4 of 26 decision(s) naming this surname have no searchable text, so they can be neither tied to nor ruled out against this attorney. The decisions that cannot be read are scans without searchable text, so this is a limit of the published record. Nothing here says the firm's attorney is that person.
G3 Entity & officeNot published by MD3 physical locations verified on Google Business Profile. Maryland publishes no business register we can query. SDAT's entity search is a form rather than a dataset, its bulk data is sold rather than published, and the state's open data portal carries a count of businesses instead of the register. This is a limit of the published record and not something the firm can change.
G5 WebsiteSite has served over HTTPS, a working phone number published, 7 named attorneys published.
G6 Footprint1,119 public client reviews across 3 Google listings, above the 10 minimum, and the firm's domain has been registered since 1998-07-10, so it has been operating for more than a year

Results are specific to their facts and do not guarantee similar outcomes. Firms submit results through their claimed profile; only results we can substantiate are published with amounts.
The firm’s people the firm names its people without saying who among them practises law · 7 more people are named by the firm without a role, so we do not call them attorneys
Also named by the firm
The firm lists these people among its team and prints no role beside the names, so we do not describe them as attorneys.
