I hired mr Mcfadden to represent me in a civil paternity suit and knowing it would be an uphill battle he was up for the challenge and went above and beyond to help get the matter resolved and proved himself to be a very hard working and knowledgeable attorney who is dedicated to his clients and made sure I was always informed of any change in anything and worked with me to have the matter resolved . I would highly recommend him to take care of any legal need and would most certainly use his services again for any legal proceeding.

Dave has represented me twice now and every time I've been extremely pleased with the outcomes. He's very helpful and willing to do whatever it takes for his clients! I would definitely recommend him and continue to use him for any other needs I may have! Very very satisfied

A family member needed legal representation. A complex situation, with the potential for really bad outcomes. I hired David to represent my family member and he not only worked hard that resulted in the best outcomes as possible, but his care for his clients is refreshing, and honestly I don't think we could have a better lawyer. I could write a lot of accolades, but will summarize with I definitely recommend David, as he is nothing short of amazing.

Made a mistake driving home one night, had an accident, returned in the AM and was hit with numerous charges by the Police. David helped me navigate the process and did an excellent job negotiating with the DA to what i felt was a suitable and fair outcome. I Highly recommend as he is professional, works for you as a client and really knows the ins and out of the legal system especially in Maryland!

I open by thanking the Law Office of David McFadden. After receiving a speeding ticket for driving with excessive speed, I needed representation to resolve the matter and dismiss the case. After looking online I made the best choice. Mr. McFadden demonstrated a great deal of legal professionalism, which was tremendously appreciated. Although I was fighting a speeding ticket, he treated my case with dignity and importance. Mr. McFadden's office manager, Judy Gearhart, was consistent, very attentive to detail, and patient in recording the facts of my case. I was subsequently found not guilty. I could not have asked for a better outcome or legal support staff, if I ever, ever, need any legal representation for a Criminal, Family, or Personal Injury matter- Mr. McFadden will receive a call from me without hesitation. His office has gained and earned my trust. As a former legal assistant, I have regained inspiration to do exactly what Mr. McFadden and Judy are doing...changing lives one case at a time... Mr. McFadden has definately left an impression on me as an aspiring attorney. Prior to taking my case, I didn't know him from Adam, but I will remember him for life. Respectfully, Ron Boles

Had a cluster of traffic charges against me, ended up having all but one dropped which was down to a payable fine and prevented my insurance rate from potentially increasing. Way better than what I originally expected would happen with this case.

David was willing to explain everything I needed help with no matter what it was with calmness and patience. He alleviated the stress of court for me and was an amazing asset to my case.

I was facing serious charges that would have cost me my career whether I was found guilty or accepted a plea. Knowing the consequences, Mr. McFadden was able to get me acquitted on all counts. Mr. McFadden helped me through the entire process, starting with getting me released without bail, to acquittal and expungement from my record. I highly recommend Mr. McFadden to anyone facing life-ruining criminal charges.

Dave mcfadden took my case and made the impossible happen. He worked very hard to get what I wanted and also walked me through everything in a way that made me feel more calm about the situation. Being in serious criminal trouble is scary, and he made me feel safe. I felt like I had him in my corner the whole time. In the future if I or anyone I know ever needs legal services, he will be the person I call.

I found myself basically living out a life time movie and buried in legal issues. Had I chosen less dedicated and experienced legal representation I know this battle wouldn't be over and my life would not be going in such a positive direction. Dave has represented me in multiple matters. From cross filed protective orders and criminal charges to divorce and custody. Dave got me desirable results for every matter- including my charges being dropped by the state! Most importantly I have primary custody of my children. Dave and his extremely thorough office manager have been my rock through all of this. They put up with a lot of malarkey this past year and a half! I wouldn't hesitate to hire Dave if I needed legal help in the future. Thank you for helping my family and being such a big support.
