Gerald Solomon | Rockville Foreclosure Lawyer

It was a case against a major bank where my client sued the bank for violations in the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. The case took three years to successfully litigate against the bank. The key to success was to persist and think outside of the box by adapting unique approaches to the issues as they arose.

Integrity, persistence, persistence and persistence. I listened to and communicated with my clients. I learned, and continue to learn, every day of my life. I was and am honest with my clients and the court.

The ability to communicate with them, opposing counsel, and the court. The ability to listen.

It depends upon the court, community and type of case. Local knowledge is a factor in choosing an attorney. Your prospective counsel should be able to answer this question as it applies to your case.

This depends on the facts and status of the case. It also depends on the location of the case, opposing counsel, court rulings to date, and the judge hearing the case. The best way I can answer this is to say that I rarely get a complaint that I did not give the individual a significant amount of knowledge. That does not mean that the potential client will or should hire me, that simply means that I answer their questions whenever possible.

Basic information about the case, including the status of the case. Was anything filed? If so, the prospective client must get me a copy of the case filings. The free phone conference is generally two parts. During the first call my secretary will get some basic information, including any emergencies or deadlines. If I am available, I will take the call. In most instances I will request a copy of the complete file from the court and I will schedule a follow up call after I receive the documents.

Knowledge of the law relating to the prospective client's case. I am willing to acknowledge areas where I must do research (remember, I learn every day). The amount of time that I spend during the initial calls.

Working with people trying to save their home. Having an attorney tell me that I inspired him to become an attorney. Having a child tell me that they want to be an attorney because of me. Even through a client may have lost their home, having the client thank me for my effort.

Woodworking and photography.

Yes, I am a board member in my synagogue. I was a board member of my community association.
