Testimonials

Very caring and professional throughout the process.

I want to express my sincerest gratitude and appreciation to Attorney Joseph Musso and Ms. Meca Johnson of Ashcraft & Gerel, for believing in us and agreeing to represent us. Prior to consulting with Attorney Musso, we had seen another firm who felt our claim had no merit. We felt victimized twice. It was such a personal and sad case that it felt good just to hear someone say, yes I believe you and I will help you (even if it were not going to be easy). And that’s what Mr. Musso did. Everyone was very caring and professional throughout the process. Without any hesitation, I would recommend their service to anyone in need.

Extremely knowledgeable about the complexities of the law

Sean Smith of Ashcraft & Gerel is my attorney and I would recommend him for many reasons. He has the unique combination of qualities one looks for in an attorney, yet can be hard to find. First, he gets results. My case is complex and challenging, yet shortly after he took on my case, he obtained results. He is also extremely knowledgeable about the complexities of the law, with many years of experience, yet explains things so they are understandable, and he is also patient and caring. He is exceptional.

Jerry Spitz was critical in resolving and finally ending this ordeal for me

I had a very complicated case that dragged on for 5 years. Jerry Spitz was critical in resolving and finally ending this ordeal for me. He was always considerate and very attentive to any issues or questions that I had throughout the process. I would highly recommend him to anyone searching for a lawyer.

Closed my case with a great deal… more than expected

I was in an accident a little over a year ago. I was recommended to Ashcraft & Gerel by a family member. I was always treated with respect and I feel they handled my case promptly. Cedric Lewis closed my case with a great deal… more than expected. He stayed in contact regularly as soon as he was put on my case, returned my calls promptly and explained every detail when issues arose. Thanks to you and your team!!
- Brian P.

Very positive, worked with me every step of the way

They have a group of attorneys and I was fortunate enough that I got one of the good ones. Terence Davis was my attorney he does workman’s comp and disability. I knew I had a complex case and his Intake Specialist Lizbeth Herrera was very positive, worked with me every step of the way gathering all the information needed. Communication was very good with both of them, emails were responded to quickly before the end of the day. Questions answered and explained, I was very pleased with how everything was handled.

Provided greatest customer service I’ve experienced in a long while

Mr. Cedric Lewis is an amazing, knowledgeable and the most patient lawyer I’ve ever worked with. He and his staff are so attentive, pleasant and thus far have provided greatest customer service I’ve experienced in a long while. Whenever I had a question or concern throughout the process of my now second case, Mr. Lewis has also replied to my calls or emails in a speedy and timely manner. He is by far the best lawyer I’ve worked with. I’d highly recommend him!!!

Do not hesitate to give them a call

I’m using Allen Lowe from Ashcraft & Gerel. I needed a good Workers comp attorney, to help me out in DC. I had used their MD firm, a couple of years ago, with good success. I was very confident that their office in DC, would do the same. Allen was there to help me, by phone, email, and quickly answered all of my questions from my case. His assistant Dawn was very helpful as well. They communicated with me, kept me in the loop, and informed me of dates, and things I needed to have ready to pursue my case. Most of all, he treated me like a friend that I could rely on in my stressful time of need. He is stern, to the point, and knows the laws. My work has been nothing but unreasonable for the last six months. From denying me my pay, mileage to doctors, forcing me to go back to work while still injured, harassing me, and making my life miserable. Allen was able to get me compensation, let my doctors call the shots, and stand up to my power-tripping boss, and nurses. We were able to negotiate out of court so far, and my case is not completely over. I have no doubt that Allen and his team will get me what I deserve in the end. Do not hesitate to give them a call.

Ashcraft & Gerel provides excellent support.

Ashcraft & Gerel provides excellent support and helped me with all the paperwork when I broke my foot and was off work for 10 months. It was amazing to not stress over the details and just concentrate on getting back on my feet, literally!Ā Thanks for everything!

Attorney Cedric Lewis is a total fighter and a bull in the courtroom

Attorney Cedric Lewis from Ashcraft & Gerel, LLP (Silver Spring Office) really did a great job on my civil case. He’s a total fighter and a bull in the courtroom, I highly recommend anyone to seek his counsel. In addition, he’s a very smart intelligent and articulate man, who understands the law and not shy nor timid to express his mind in front of the judge.

- Jeffrey O.

They really took care of me.

Iā€™ve been working with Mr. Drew Laframboise since 2014. I really like the man. He is very honest, straightforward and he gave me advice on whatā€™s best for me. Drew is very professional and replies back to my emails, even on the weekends. He made me believe there are really good lawyers out there who sincerely help their clients. I had a good experience with this law firm. They really took care of me. As a matter of fact, I went ahead and gave my friend Drewā€™s info if they needed a lawyer they can trust and will work for them.Ā Highly recommended. Thank you so much. God bless you all.

What a good feeling it is to have received a fair settlement!

My experience with Ashcraft & Gerel was absolutely first class. My attorney, Jerry Spitz, made sure I understood everything that was happening very clearly. I felt included in every part of the process, and am quite certain I would have gotten nowhere in my case without his representation. My case was not a simple one, yet Mr. Spitz was able to settle it in my favor. What a good feeling it is to have received a fair settlement! I would also like to commend the professionalism and responsiveness of his entire staff, from his immediate assistants to the receptionists at the front desk. I recommend Jerry Spitz and Ashcraft & Gerel without reservation!
- Steve L.

Many thanks to him and the team for their dedication and expertise

During the past 2 1/2 years since my accident and meeting Mr. Alan Mensh, I have been blessed and humbled by the entire experience. He was a sincere and caring professional that always was patient and considerate of my feelings, pain and work-life situations. Many thanks to him and the team for their dedication and expertise to bring my case to a close with a positive outcome. More importantly, thank you for Alan for your sincerity, caring about me and my family.

Working with my legal team at Ashcraft & Gerel for my injuries from work was very successful

Working with my legal team at Ashcraft & Gerel for my injuries from work was very successful. They were very responsive to every call and every email and every piece of mail that I received.

I was extremely satisfied with my experience with Ashcraft & Gerel

I was extremely satisfied with my experience with Ashcraft & Gerel. I would personally like to thank Alan Mensh and his team Nikki Ali, and Yvette Gould. I would also like to thank Robert Samet who believed in my case and who was involved in assigning Alan Mensh my case. After meeting with Alan Mensh I understood that it was not an open and shut case. Alan was confident that we had a strong case. With his determination, experience, and astute knowledge of the law along with Nikki Ali and Yvette Gould’s hard work behind the scene my case was resolved on July 25th, 2019. The true meaning of team. Thanks to everyone involved.

I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who felt as I did when I was injured

NOTHING BUT AMAZING! I was injured in 2016, and was completely lost and unsure what to do. Robert Samet was able to guide me every step of the way. Robert Samet and his team have been able to get me the medical treatment and rehabilitation that I needed, as well as a generous settlement for my injury. I no longer have to worry about future medical procedures or really anything. Robert and Rose Marie were extremely helpful and insightful throughout this process and definitely had my best interest at heart. They responded quickly to any questions I had and were able to address any concerns that I had. I wouldn’t have wanted any other team to handle my case. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who felt as I did when I was injured. Thank you again, Robert and Ashcraft & Gerel for going above and beyond my expectations.
- Chris K.

My experience with Ashcraft & Gerel was great

My experience with Ashcraft & Gerel was great. Even though I was apprehensive at first about the process, my attorney Cedric Lewis explained that there was nothing for me to lose by trying to go to trial. He was very right and we ended up with a settlement of way more than the nothing I would have gotten by giving up. I would definitely recommend working with him!

Iā€™m very satisfied

Iā€™m very satisfied with Jennifer. I was referred to her by another lawyer. She kept me informed and updated, worked out the issues with the insurance carrier and convinced them to reverse their denial of my claim, and talked with me about pros and cons of my case. I like how she cared about how i felt and wanted my approval of important things.

- Francisco P.

I would highly recommend her to anyone who has been injured in an accident.

Jennifer is knowledgeable, warm and honest. I was very pleased to have met her and she gave me great advice which was extremely helpful in my decision making. Her advice was both unselfish and astute. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has been injured in an accident.

From start to finish, Mr. Lind never skipped a beat.

I was injured on the job in July of 2013. On the advice of a friend, I contacted Ashcraft & Gerel, LLP., and was paired up with Michael Lind. I’ll admit when I first met Mr. Lind, I was a bit skeptical, as he was extremely young, but over the course of the next several years, he proved himself more than capable. As both my personal injury and the product liability cases moved through the process, I was amazed at the amount of information Mr. Lind gathered. At one point, Mr. Lind decided to strike out on his own, first, in a partnership, then, in his own law firm. I was given the option of staying with Ashcraft & Gerel, or following Mr. Lind to the conclusion of my litigation. Having observed the drive and compassion he showed, time and again, I elected to stay with him. As I saw over the next few months, Mr. Lind acquired quite a few new clients, but every time he and I spoke, there was never a let down in his attention to my case. With all of his other clients, and their needs, the issues with running his own law firm, he kept driving forward with my claim. From start to finish, Mr. Lind never skipped a beat. By the time my case reached it’s conclusion almost 7 years later, the attorney/client relationship had grown into a friendship, he ceased to be Mr. Lind. Mike and I have become friends. Thanks Mike.

I would absolutely recommend not only the firm but Joseph Musso and his team

Ashcraft & Gerel was only concerned about doing what was in the best interest of my family. Thanks to their expertise and willingness to accept the challenge are greatly appreciated. I would absolutely recommend not only the firm but Joseph Musso and his team. They can be trusted and are devoted to pursuing the best interest of the client.

I just want to thank you again for all your help and hard work with my case

I just want to thank you again for all your help and hard work with my case. We now have a 2 month old baby girl. Iā€™m nowhere close to being back to normal but my wife and I are so happy with this baby! Thank you!

- Andrew P.

I definitely look forward to referring the firm to any and everyone I know

I had the pleasure of being a client of the firm. Mr. David Bayne and Ms. Meca Johnson handled my case. From the moment they were retained theyā€™re professionalism and client-legal team relationship was positive and fruitful. I definitely look forward to referring the firm to any and everyone I know. I think that some type of acknowledgment should be given to them for making me feel more like a friend than a case. And to also recognize them for going above and beyond throughout my ordeal, sincere correspondence about my health and condition, and also a genuine concern which you rarely see these days. In closing, I thank you for taking the time to read my review of my treatment by these exceptional people.

- Darren S.

Thank you so much for everything. I greatly appreciate it.

I was the Lee C. Ashcraft Scholarship recipient for the 2020 year. I want to thank you so much for the award, as I never thanked you earlier and only thanked Ms. Chang, the woman I was communicating with. So, thank you so very much, as it has helped me so much this past semester. Additionally, I wanted to follow up with you to let you know what I have been doing this past semester. I just completed my first semester of my junior year at Virginia Tech in their aerospace engineering program. It was very tough with everything going on in the world right now, but I managed to finish off the semester with all A’s and 1 B+. I also joined some design teams where I am working on building rockets with the goal of eventually sending a completely student-led rocket into space and designing drills to simulate ice collection on Mars. Towards the end of the semester, I was able to become an upper class leader for my living-learning community where I will help plan academic events for the freshmen in the program.

Again, thank you so much for everything. I greatly appreciate it.

I am very satisfied with the results and I highly recommend this firm.

Ashcraft & Gerel represented me after I was involved in an automobile accident while driving in Baltimore County, MD. While wondering what to do and who would best represent my interest this law firm was recommended to me. Everyone I spoke to at the firm was very helpful, caring, and compassionate. My representation was very efficient, professional, and thorough. The attorneys were easy to contact and listened to me with a very carrying attitude. Deanna Fields, a paralegal at the firm, followed up to make sure that I had completed all necessary documents and also followed my case. I am very satisfied with the results and I highly recommend this firm.

- A Former Client

I felt very comfortable and appreciated how she made me feel.

I wanted to pass along a compliment and a very sincere acknowledgement to Ms. J. Porter. After speaking to her for the first time, I felt very comfortable and appreciated how she made feel understood. She took her time explaining to me the positives and negatives of my case. I told her that in the future, I want her to handle all of my legal needs.

Thanks again Jennifer!

You must have been sent by GOD because without your help who knows how this would have turned out for me.

The money you gained from working with me doesn’t equate to the benefit and guidance Michael Lind provided in helping me through this matter, not be mention the time you devoted to my case.
You could have easily walked away but you didn’t which is very admirable. I promise you I will never forget it. You must have been sent by GOD because without your help who knows how this would have turned out for me.
I will definitely keep you in mind and I will refer you to anyone who needs WC help. Hopefully, I can repay you in referrals.
Take Care and May GOD Bless You and Your family.
