What Brings Montgomery County Clients to The LAWChampion
Montgomery County is one of Maryland's most densely populated and economically active jurisdictions. That means more construction sites, more commuters, more commercial trucks on I-270 and the Beltway, and more complex legal disputes when things go wrong.
The clients I represent here share one thing in common: they were let down by a system that was supposed to protect them. Workers whose employers disputed their injuries. Crash victims whose insurance companies offered a fraction of what their case was worth. Defendants who needed someone who would actually fight — not just process a plea.

Workers' Compensation in Montgomery County
Workers' Compensation
Montgomery County workers face the same brutal reality as injured workers across Maryland: employers and their insurers are motivated to minimize what they pay you. I've spent decades pushing back against that system. In a single year, I recorded six of the highest workers' compensation disability settlements and awards in the entire state of Maryland. I served as a former chairman of the Maryland Task Force on Injured Workers Rehabilitation and published work on vocational rehabilitation in the Maryland Association for Justice Trial Lawyer Magazine. If you were hurt at work — whether on a job site in Gaithersburg, a warehouse in Germantown, or a government facility in Rockville — I know how to build the case that gets you what you're owed.
- Lost wages and temporary total disability benefits
- Permanent partial and permanent total disability awards
- Medical treatment and vocational rehabilitation
- Cases involving disputed liability or employer retaliation
- Federal workers' comp claims (licensed in Maryland, DC, and federally)

Criminal Defense for Montgomery County Defendants
A criminal charge in Montgomery County Circuit Court or District Court carries consequences that follow you for years.

If you or someone you care about is facing charges in Montgomery County, the time to act is before the system moves against you.
Why Montgomery County Clients Choose Mitchell Greenberg

- Personally involved in every case — I do not hand files off after intake; you work with me
- Bilingual staff — Spanish-speaking clients are fully served without language barriers

- Licensed in Maryland, DC, and federally — no jurisdictional gaps for clients with cross-border matters
Montgomery County's Legal Landscape and What It Means for Your Case
Montgomery County operates under Maryland state law for workers' compensation and personal injury matters, but its courts and administrative proceedings have their own character. The county's proximity to Washington, DC means a significant share of workers here may have claims that cross jurisdictions — a federal employee injured on the job, for instance, or a DC-based worker commuting into Maryland. I'm licensed in Maryland, Washington, DC, and federally, which means I can follow your case wherever it needs to go.
For criminal matters, Montgomery County District Court handles misdemeanors and traffic offenses, while the Circuit Court handles felonies and jury trials. The stakes at both levels are real, and the representation you bring into that courthouse matters.

Frequently Asked Questions from Montgomery County Clients
Do I need a workers' compensation attorney in Montgomery County, or can I handle the claim myself?
You can file a claim without an attorney, but Maryland's workers' compensation system is designed by insurers and employers who have experienced legal teams working against your claim from day one. An attorney levels that playing field. Given that my fee comes from the recovery — not out of pocket — there is no financial reason to go in unrepresented.How long do I have to file a workers' compensation claim in Maryland?
Maryland law generally requires you to report your injury to your employer within 10 days and file a claim with the Workers' Compensation Commission within two years of the injury or the date you knew the injury was work-related. Missing these deadlines can forfeit your right to benefits entirely.What should I do immediately after a car or truck crash in Montgomery County?
Get medical attention first, even if you feel fine — symptoms from serious injuries often appear hours or days later. Document the scene if you can, get the other driver's information, and contact an attorney before you speak with any insurance adjuster. Statements made early in the process are frequently used to reduce or deny claims.Can a DUI conviction in Montgomery County be expunged from my record?
In Maryland, a DUI conviction generally cannot be expunged. However, if charges are reduced, dismissed, or result in a probation before judgment disposition, expungement may be available. The specific outcome of your case determines your options, which is why the quality of your defense representation matters from the very beginning.Does Mitchell Greenberg personally handle cases in Montgomery County, or will I be passed to another attorney?
I handle every case personally. I do not take on clients and then delegate their matters to associates. When you hire me, you work with me — through investigation, negotiation, hearings, and trial if it comes to that.
