Practicing law as an independent attorney allows Mark to ensure clients are provided with a personal one-on-one working relationship that is both attentive and client-centered while pursuing the legal process. Law firms spread the legal work to other staff attorneys. Typically, there is a partner in charge of the case with associates doing much of the work.
When a client chooses a law firm, often they do not receive the individualized personal attention that they expected and can feel frustrated and overlooked. In addition, there are substantial costs incurred when lawyers divide up legal research, discovery and trial. As a sole practitioner Mark's operating overhead is lower, allowing him to provide clients with high quality legal representation at reasonable rates.

It is generally much more complex, variable, costly and stressful than clients think because of the complicated procedure, the intrusiveness of discovery, the uncertainty of rulings on motions, the strategy of settlement negotiations, and the uncertainty, expense and stress of trials. Civil litigation is frequently not civil, but rather requires solid preparation and aggressive execution.
If you believe that someone's carelessness on the roads has caused you injury in Maryland or the District of Columbia, you may want to contact me for a consultation. You should contact me as soon as it is convenient to do so and avoid discussing the matter with insurance representatives who are not from your own insurance company.
Experienced handling legal malpractice claims for both plaintiffs and defendant attorneys. My representation of both sides enables me to understand the other side's position and objectives so as to achieve optimal results for you.
To prove legal malpractice, a plaintiff must show: 1) the attorney's employment, 2) the failure of the attorney to meet the applicable standard of care for the services provided, and 3) loss suffered by the client as a direct result of the attorney's failure to meet the standard of care.

My superior legal research and writing skills are essential to optimizing your chances of winning your appeal. If you lose at an administrative agency or in a trial court, you have the right to appeal. Appeals are generally on the record, that is, based on the record before the administrative agency or a trial court.

You know a good attorney when you find them. More specifically an attorney who is not money driven but rather willing to help their clients to the max and resolve their legal needs. I am reviewing Chalpin because he knows his way around the law and dedicates to serving his client's needs. He is well priced and makes it know upfront. He is very responsive and takes full responsibility of cases you bring to him. Unlike other attorneys in the Baltimore and Maryland area who would only speak to you after you pay them, Chaplin is the opposite. He offered me a free consultation and offered the choice

Excellent Service!! Mark Chalpin provided me with sound advised that helped me resolve a major dispute that I had with a business. I was surprised by all the good advice he gave me before accepting any type of payment. This Man cares about his clients and not money hungry like some other Attorney’s. Mr. Chalpin is a very good lawyer and I Highly recommend!

He is the worst. He was very rude and was not helpful at all. He kept cutting me off. He treated me as if I was a criminal on the stand. I was wasting his time because my case wasn't good enough. I will not recommend him. He came of as if my case was to small for him to handle. He doesn't handle small cases. So if you enjoy people talking down to you or as if you are a child then he's the one for you. He's more of a landlord lawyer not for the tenant.
Mr. Chalpin learn how to speak to your potential clients regardless if you think they have a case or not.
