PERSONAL INJURY
Nobody ever gets into a motor vehicle thinking that they’re going to end up in a crash. For many of us, being cautious drivers comes naturally. Unfortunately however, there are still many drivers on the road who take their driving privileges for granted.
Dedicated to the pursuit of justice for people in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia who have suffered due to the misconduct, negligence, or malice of others, we consistently focus on obtaining justice for TBI victims and their families.
Well-recognized and highly respected litigators
Our attorneys are frequently selected by colleagues to be included in listings of Best Lawyers in America, Super Lawyers, and The Washingtonian. Members of the legal profession consistently applaud the quality of our work, awarding each firm partner the prestigious AV® Preeminent™ Peer Review RatingSM by Martindale-Hubbell®, the highest rating available for professional competence and ethical integrity from the nation’s most respected attorney rating service. We are especially honored by these selections and high ratings because they are based upon interviews and recommendations by other legal professionals.
Our Philosophy —
Making Justice
A Reality
For Our Clients
Our firm’s philosophy is to seek solutions through negotiation, settlement, arbitration, or mediation before litigating a matter in court. But, when a case cannot be satisfactorily resolved without resorting to litigation, we pride ourselves on our detailed case presentation, unparalleled trial experience, and impressive record of appellate victories.
Our seasoned litigators have won many notable cases in both federal and state courts and have an outstanding record of appellate victories. The lawyers of Karp, Norwind, Gold & Karp, P.A. have co-counseled landmark cases referred to us by attorneys in New York, Chicago, Boston, California, Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, and New Jersey in addition to the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia.
We are proud that more than half of our major cases were referred to us by other attorneys who trust us to represent their clients. For years we have represented lawyers, judges and public officials who have many law firms from which to choose, but were confident in choosing our firm. We are most proud, however, of the privilege to change the lives of thousands of clients without titles or positions of power who have sought our help.
