I been a client since 2017 and I had a good experience with them as far as getting results and being treated like family, I had a major injury and the whole team was very supportive and stayed on top of my case, I was able to maintain my bills due to being out of work for a year and had a favorable outcome with my settlement which helped me start my business ventures, so thanks again to the team and if need be I’ll have them represent me in the future.More
Jason, Charlotte, and Tony were absolutely amazing! I was in a car accident 4 years ago, they made sure I was taken care of and even though we had a lot of set backs due to Covid, they never made me feel like my case (or me) were not important. Tony knew my medical history better than I did, Charlotte was always an absolute delight to talk to and was so kind, and Jason was just great! I'm really sad that I won't be talking to them anymore, they became like family! I know that is something a lot of people say, but it is 100% true with this team.More
Great team took my cases when most wouldn’t did all the work fluently and worry free would not be any happier 😊. Highly recommend them for your legal servicesMore
I cannot thank the team at Pinder Plotkin enough for their compassion, patience, and relentless dedication throughout my car accident case. They went above and beyond — jumping through hoops, explaining every step with care, and standing by me when I felt overwhelmed or lost. The communication was incredible, and I always knew I was in good hands. I truly appreciate everything they did to help me get through such a stressful time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for people who genuinely care about their clients.More
Mr Jason, Mr Balsamo, Nancy and the team worked on my case meticulously until I got justice. Thanks Nancy for your assurance and patience. If you need a team of injury lawyers, Pinder Plotkin team should be your first call.More
To be honest, I wasn’t sure how this process would go since I usually let the auto insurance company handle accident. However, I would not hesitate to call upon the Pinder Plotkin legal team FIRST. They took on my case and exceeded expectations and removed any doubts I had. The folks at Pinder Plotkin fought through a long drawn out case, keeping my best interests in mind. A settlement was reached, more than what I would say, your insurance company would give. I’m extremely happy with the Pinder Plotkin team for their hard work, dedication to me as a client and as a veteran. I was treated with compassion, empathy and they communicated every step of the process. I high recommend the Pinder Plotkin legal team for your legal services. Thank you Pinder Plotkin, truely, thank you.More

Get a fast, free estimate of what your case could be worth — pick the calculator that matches your situation below.
These are working tools, not contact forms dressed up as calculators. Each walks you through roughly the questions we would ask on a first call and gives you a range at the end. Treat that range as the start of a conversation, not a valuation — no calculator knows how an adjuster will read your medical records, and none of them can price Maryland’s contributory negligence rule, which can bar your recovery entirely if you are found even slightly at fault. That rule is why two claims with identical injuries can be worth very different amounts here.

Jason Plotkin’s personal account of surviving a car accident and the road to recovery.
Buy on AmazonYou likely have a case if someone else's careless or reckless actions caused you a real injury, whether that is a car or truck crash, a fall on unsafe property, a dog bite, or an on-the-job injury. The core question is whether another person or company owed you a duty of care, broke it, and caused your harm. The fastest way to know is a free case review with our team, and we will tell you honestly whether you have a claim worth pursuing.
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, which means you pay no attorney fee unless we recover money for you, and our fee comes as a percentage of the settlement or award. The first consultation is free, so there is no cost to find out where you stand. If we do not win, you do not owe us an attorney fee.
In most Maryland personal injury cases you have three years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Miss that deadline and the court can bar your claim for good, no matter how strong it is. Some situations, such as claims against a government agency or injuries to a child, follow different timelines, so it is smart to talk to a lawyer early rather than risk running out of time.
Maryland follows a strict contributory negligence rule, which means that if you are found even slightly at fault for your own injury, you can be barred from recovering anything. Maryland is one of only a few states that still uses this harsh rule, and insurance companies lean on it hard to deny claims. That is exactly why having a lawyer who builds your case to defeat a partly-to-blame argument matters so much here.
It depends on your medical bills, lost wages, the seriousness and permanence of your injury, and how the injury has affected your daily life. No honest lawyer can promise a number up front, but we value your claim by adding up your economic losses and the human cost of your injury, then holding the insurer to it. We give you a realistic picture after we review your medical records and the facts. For a ballpark starting point, try our Maryland settlement calculators.
Get medical care first, because your health matters most and a prompt medical record ties your injury to what happened. Then, if you safely can, report the incident and call 911 for a crash, photograph the scene and your injuries, collect names and contact information for anyone involved or watching, and avoid giving a recorded statement to the other side's insurer. Reach out to us before you sign anything or accept an early offer.
Our Laurel office serves the three counties that meet around Laurel — Prince George's, Anne Arundel, and Howard — plus neighboring Montgomery County. Because Laurel sits at that crossroads, we regularly handle cases heard in Upper Marlboro, Annapolis, Ellicott City, and Rockville. If you were hurt anywhere in this area, we can help.
We handle car, truck, motorcycle, rideshare, and pedestrian crashes, as well as dog bites, slip-and-fall and other property injuries, workers' compensation, medical malpractice, nursing home neglect, and wrongful death. If you are not sure your situation fits, just ask, because the free consultation costs you nothing.

This page covers how we handle cases locally. The statewide rules that decide them — the fault rule, the filing deadlines, and how benefits are calculated — live on our Maryland pages:
Since 2017, Jason Plotkin and Anthony (Tony) Balsamo have been attorneys of record in 100 cases filed in Prince George’s County — 43 in the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County and 57 in the District Court of Maryland for Prince George’s County at Upper Marlboro. Across the four counties this office serves — Prince George’s, Anne Arundel, Howard and Montgomery — that is 196 filed cases.
Most injury claims settle before anyone files a lawsuit, so this is a floor, not a total. It is also not a record of outcomes. Every number is public: search “Plotkin, Jason” or “Balsamo, Anthony” as Attorney on Maryland Judiciary Case Search.
