I first got into legal trouble on my 21st birthday, facing a serious assault charge and up to 25 years in prison. I was scared, unsure of what to do, and completely unprepared for jail. Meeting Mr. Rothman changed everything. From the start, he was honest and straightforward, giving me realistic expectations without false hope. I chose him over another lawyer because I trusted him to truly fight for me. While I was in jail, he stayed accessible, proactive, and supportive, helping me stay informed and mentally strong during a difficult time. Despite limited in-person visits, he made sure communication was consistent. His dedication and legal expertise ultimately led to me being home in time for the birth of my daughter and fully released shortly after. If you’re facing a serious situation and need someone trustworthy, reliable, and committed to achieving the best outcome, I highly recommend Mr. Rothman.

Mike Rothman is a responsive attorney and was available anytime any day to discuss any issues or questions I had about the case. He was knowledgeable and compassionate regarding the case and how to proceed for a favorable outcome. His determination was able to get the case dismissed and I have been able to begin moving forward. I would recommend Mr. Rothman to anyone in a criminal situation.

I had an incredible experience working with Michael S. Rothman. I was facing a very stressful cannabis-related DUI charge, and he guided me through every step with patience, confidence, and compassion. He always took the time to explain what was happening, answered all my questions, and made sure I understood my options. His professionalism and deep understanding of Maryland law completely put me at ease. When my court day finally came, Michael’s preparation and expertise made all the difference. I was found not guilty on all charges. I’m beyond grateful for his dedication and the way he fought for me. If you need a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and responsive attorney who truly cares about his clients, I highly recommend Michael S. Rothman.

Mike takes the time to explain every step of the process, answers all my questions with patience, and always makes sure I feel heard and understood.

Where to begin!?!? The two people that deserve my thanks, appreciation and gratitude are God and Mike Rothman. I found myself in quite a mess, as this was my first ever offense, gun-related felony charge in DC. Of all the criminal lawyers I found on my Google search, Mike, was the only one who stepped up, with a solid game plan to get the felony charge bumped down to a misdemeanor. His hard work and determination resulted in overall success! Thank you so much Mike and Team!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Mike is very responsive and always answered all of my questions. His calm demeanor instantly set me at ease. He was knowledgeable and went over everything step by step in terms I could easily understand. I feel like he really listened to me and let me make my own decisions while explaining every possible outcome. Mike has his clients' best interests at heart and does everything he can to provide the best possible outcome for them.

Mike Rothman is an excellent trial lawyer. He went above and beyond to help his client even before a contract was signed.

I feel fortunate that Mike Rothman was the lawyer I called to help with my DUI case. I did so based on some of the things he said in his on-line listing because I thought it important to have some personal rapport. The rapport was definitely there. My case took six months to go through all the preparation and multiple hearings. Mike was always there to answer questions and explore the issues. I got a much better resolution than I might have expected and am now able to move on with my life.
