Services
At Hartel, DeSantis & Howie LLP we make it easy to discuss your legal matter. If you are injured and cannot travel, we can come to you or offer you a skype consultation. Our attorneys serve clients across Maryland, D.C. and Virginia who live within three hours from one of our two convenient office locations in either Hanover, MD or Arlington, VA.
Few of us are prepared for the medical, personal and financial devastation that follows an injury, whether that injury comes from a car or truck accident, harm caused by a surgical or pharmaceutical error, nursing home negligence, a construction accident, a dog bite or a defective product.
We can't turn back time, but at the Maryland law firm of Hartel, DeSantis & Howie, LLP, we can and do bring all our trial skills - and our passion for justice - to bear to help you get the compensation you need to take care of yourself and your family after a personal injury.

On any given day, we get into our automobiles and drive to work, to school, to visit friends or family or to go shopping. And every time we do, we run the risk of getting injured in a car crash - because no matter how safely we drive, there are others who do not. If you or somebody you care about is injured because of someone else's negligence or reckless behavior, who pays for the medical care, the loss of wages, the property damage?
When you are in an average passenger vehicle, weighing approximately 3,000 pounds, and you are in an accident with a 30,000- to 80,000-pound truck, the laws of physics regarding momentum, mass and energy are not in your favor. It is no surprise that those in the car are many times more likely to sustain serious or fatal injuries than the truck driver is.
The number of motorcycles registered in the United States increased by 75 percent in the ten-year period between 1997 and 2007 - and the trend continues. And whether the increase in their popularity is because they are more fuel-efficient, less expensive to purchase or just plain fun, the fact remains that injuries sustained in motorcycle collisions are also more serious than those sustained in car accidents.

Hired a lawyer from here for my situation, it seemed like he did not care about anything besides a paycheck. I paid $1200 for something I could have got free. I do not recommend this firm for anybody. They will put you last over everything. I hired him and he didn’t even file anything with the courts to show he was my lawyer. So what did he really do for me and my situation? Highly recommend looking at other options for a family lawyer. If I could have done 0 stars I would have.

Timothy Howie was my attorney representing me in an auto accident case. I found him to be very confident and knowledgeable as he explained the process and what to expect. He alleviated a lot of anxiety I had about the case. He was also very responsive in communicating with me. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

My attorney, Jolene Murray, served as a knowledgeable and patient advocate, representing my interests in a fraudulent personal injury case filed against me.
She walked me through the process from start to finish, answering all my questions along the way with clarity and insight which expanded my
understanding of the legal process.
Ultimately Ms Murray was able to get the case dismissed without the need for my testimony. I would utilize this law firm again without pause. I am a very satisfied customer.

My attorney Mike was outstanding. He was always tentative with communicating, as well as giving me details on the case that would help me better understand the circumstances. We worked well together and I never felt that there was issues he couldn’t not handle.
Overall, a easy and reassuring service provided by Hartel, DeSantis & Howie.

I used Attorney Howie for my personal injury case that ultimately went to trial due to the opposing insurance company not willing to give a fair statement. Attorney Howie was professional, responsive and got the job done.
I was highly satisfied with his services and felt comfortable with taking the case to trial. Attorney Howie prepared me for trial, walked through several outcomes and things worked out in the end. If you are looking for a job personal injury lawyer I highly recommend Attorney Howie.
