Our Philosophy

We are a law firm comprised of trial attorneys who passionately strive to advance our clients’ causes to the fullest extent allowed by law. We take our jobs and responsibilities very seriously and strive to provide the most vigorous and professional service possible. We are active lawyers who practice and take pride in our craft. When you hire Blackford & Flohr, you hire partners who will be with you through every step of your case.

We believe that each case is an opportunity. Many of our clients come to us with a case that is just the tip of the iceberg. We make every effort, particularly in Criminal and DUI cases, to incorporate the services of health professionals to ensure that we help our clients as people, not just as cases. A big win for us is not just to secure our clients a good result, but to help them make positive changes for the future of their companies or themselves.

We are not your typical law firm. We have found that our attorneys are able to provide better services when we allow them to cultivate their interests and stay passionate in their work. We also maintain a relaxed atmosphere in the office, as much for ourselves as due to repeated client requests. Consequently, on days when we are not scheduled for a court appearance, you will find us at your initial consultation wearing casual clothes and, frequently, you will find a dog or two laying about the office, just waiting for some attention.

Community Service

We believe that lawyers should not only adhere to the highest standards of conduct, but also provide top–quality legal services to the disadvantaged among us. Therefore, we devote a considerable amount of our time every year to assisting countless people and organizations achieve justice for minimal or no compensation. As members of Civil Justice, Inc., Blackford & Flohr is committed to public service and searching for new ways to help and reach the legally underrepresented in our community. Moreover, our lawyers are active in their communities throughout Maryland, devoting hours to church, school and other community causes.

Fees

We understand the importance of your case as well as the importance of working together with our clients to achieve justice while providing a cost–effective solution. However, due to our attorneys’ talents, advocacy skills and experience (in addition to the costs of running a business), we are not cheap; nonetheless, we make every effort to limit our costs so we do not pass them on to you.

It is the firm’s policy is to charge consultation fees for most cases. The reason for this is to ensure that our clients are as serious about us, our time and their case as we are. Our fee arrangements will be discussed after consultation.
