Complete waste of my money and time. DO NOT USE THEM!!!

Unbelievably rude secretary. The secretary makes the first impression of the company culture to a new client - unbelievably rude, snippy, and brusque. Put me right off.

Shulmen Rogers is top notch. They took the time to make sure I understood every detail of my case, answered every question, and explained the case intricacies in a way that I could grasp. They were patient and kind and handled all situations with poise and character no matter how challenging. I always felt encouraged and supported.

Excellent law firm. Professionals and staff are highly competent and real-world oriented. Have practice areas in virtually all areas of business and personal activities.

From the moment we met Jessica Baker and Paul Chung we were very impressed with their knowledge in regard to automobile accidents which happen in Anne Arundel County. They both worked hard to help us through a 3 year claim process which resulted in an excellent settlement and resolution of health care insurance lien. I would highly recommend them to represent you in any accident. They will be one of the first calls we make immediately if we are unfortunate enough to be injured again due to a wreckless driver again.

The assistance I received from Schulman Roger's Attorney Karl Protil and Legal Assistant Jessica Baker was absolutely outstanding. Their advise was solid, their approach strategic and the timing they chose to engaging the various stages of my case proved perfect. Their poise and self confidence rapidly won over the anxiety that typically accompanies people like me, i.e. good citizens who had never been involved in a legal case. The process of writing the Schulman Rogers retainer contract was very transparent and accommodated most of my special requests. I have no doubt that believe that the the stellar reputation that Protil and Baker have built with counterparts, judges and other actors in the legal system has played an important role in overcoming hurdles and accelerating the successful resolution of my case

Karl Protil is a terrible attorney. Horrible communication and that office moves slow as snails. When my daughter passed (Oct 15) we notified him the NEXT day so his office could pull the remainder of her records. They were not even requested until the beginning of November (something like the 6th-ish) but the hospital couldn't send them out because they hadn't been paid for! I tried to pay for them myself but the hospital wouldn't allow it since I wasn't the one requesting them. The records didn't get paid for til around Nov 17th!! December 13th he said he had the records and would begin the process of reviewing them and hopefully have it done in 2-3 weeks. Jan 15, 2018 I check in and he says, "We have the records, but need to complete our review and see what an expert says about the case. I hope to be back to you with our initial review within the next 14-21 days." So again, waiting. All the while not getting any communication between these periods of time. Feb 19 I check in again, only to find out KARL PROTIL doesn't even have an expert yet reviewing the records!! This whole time he indicated they were being reviewed and they were just sitting!! Awful, awful service and communication!!

Dealt with three different attorneys all very knowledgeable and professional.

The worst company ever I in counter with and this firm is unethical and disrespectful and they set me up to fail in my mortgage and they work with lender and I trust my agent and fall into there trap and they did my paperwork mortgage first payment to start within 3 weeks of closing date and they lie to at closing if you are immigrants and minority’s stay way from this legal firm that operates in systematic racism and I will never recommend this firm for anyone who try to use them for mortgage closing.

My ex in California (whom was actually charged&convicted with child endangerment & intent to sell drugs plus 1 more) used this lawyer to vacate my emergency custody order that I was rightfully granted in DC and actually won in family court. Where no evidence is necessary- lies are not only allowed but encouraged & rewarded. #StopParentAlienation.

I was in an accident last year and Jessica Baker and Paul Chung could not have been more helpful. They tracked down the other driver's insurance after he gave me wrong information. They always kept me up to date on what was going on in my case and were available whenever I had a question. Very good at explaining my options and what I needed to do on my end. They always made me feel like I was the only client they had. I think they did a wonderful job negotiating with the insurance adjusters. I would definitely recommend them for anyone in need of a lawyer.

Karl Protil is the most capable and competent attorney in the region. The passion for his craft and commitment to his clients is unmatched. Shelia Colvin his paralegal was amazing! She was consistent, resilient and incredibly knowledgeable. They both helped me through this difficult time with my malpractice case resulting in a victory and I'm forever thankful. I will be using their services for any other legal needs I may have in the future. I can't say it enough thank you once again.

We were referred to Mr. Karl Protil to handle my husbands complicated medical malpractice case. Immediately upon meeting Mr. Protil and having a short conversation with him my husband and I walked away feeling more at ease. My husband was confident that Mr. Protil as well as his very kind and generous assistant Mrs. Sheila Colvin would not only listen but hear our concerns and frustration. Mrs. Colvin was always ready and available to hear and answer all of our questions and concerns no matter what time of day it was. I would highly recommend Mr. Protil to anyone seeking a well knowledgeable, honest and forthcoming attorney to represent you in court. My husband and I basically did very little after meeting Mr. Protil which helped my husband to relax more. The outcome of his case was extremely satisfying to the both of us. I will forever store Mr. Protil’s number for future use should we need counsel in the future. Thank you Mr. Protil & Mrs. Colvin for supporting us through this hard time.

Mr. & Mrs. Antoine Moore

Absolute worst. Hired them to contest a will. All they did was spend my money and provide very inadequate legal defense until all money was gone. They are crooks.

After being involved in a major car crash, I had no idea where to turn and my family and I felt overwhelmed not only by my injury, but everything else as well. We were fortunate enough to know a couple of lawyers in an unrelated field and when we asked them to suggest someone that we could talk to, they recommended Shulman Rogers. We are really glad that they did.

We worked with Mike Nakamura and Jessica Baker and found them to be fantastic. They met with us at the start of the process to go over everything and communicated with us regularly throughout the period that followed. Whenever we had a question, no matter how inane, they were not only happy to help us with it, but were incredibly quick to do so as well. Moreover, whenever new developments arose in case, they contacted us immediately.

There were a number of additional dimensions that I would like to highlight as to why we were so thrilled and grateful for the help that they gave us. First, they clearly had a very strong knowledge about everything and we could see this through how they negotiated on our behalf with the insurance company of the other driver. When the insurance company made an initial low-ball offer, Mike engaged with them very constructively and professionally, but he was also knew in what ballpark we should be looking (based upon previous cases, industry norms, etc) and was able to negotiate with them on the basis to obtain a more appropriate figure. I have no doubt that we would have had neither the knowledge nor the nerve to do that by ourselves. Second, they helped us to navigate all of the hurdles regarding the huge number of bills that were sent to us by all of the different emergency services and healthcare providers that we had interacted with as part of the aftermath of the crash, with Jessica fielding all of them directly and making our lives infinitely better as a result. Third, they always provided us with advice and suggestions, but never pressured us to do anything, which led us to feel both informed but also fully empowered when making decisions.

Overall, I would highly recommend both Shulman Rogers and Mike Nakamura and Jessica Baker in particular. They were professional, pleasant, responsive, and ultimately very effective. Throughout the process, we had total peace of mind and, ultimately, achieved a settlement that we were very happy with. A big thumbs up and thank you for all of their work.

MIKE NAKAMURA AND JESSICA BAKER ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST!

I am writing to provide an account of my experience with Shulman, Rogers, (et al) PA, and specifically the legal team of Mr. Mike Nakamura and Ms. Jessica Baker. There are simply no better advocates out there for those of us who have suffered through a horrific, life-threatening automobile collision. Mr. Nakamura’s team provided not only stellar legal advice, but they also assisted me through the confusing world of post-incident legal and administrative maneuvers, and supported me though the difficult and emotionally-draining days that lay ahead.

Approximately eighteen months ago I was involved in a devastating, head-on collision with another vehicle, each of us traveling close to the posted speed limit of 50 mph. I suffered head and hand injuries, as well as several broken teeth. Miraculously, both I and the other driver were able to escape further long-term incapacitating injuries or death.
I was referred to attorney Mike Nakamura and his team at Shulman, Rogers by a colleague in law enforcement. I was immediately impressed by their offer to come to me for the client introductory meeting, should I be hospitalized or too debilitated to drive to them. In the subsequent meeting with Mike Nakamura and his legal assistant, Jessica Baker, I continued to be impressed by their level of expertise, knowledge of the legal system, and their absolute compassion. It wasn’t an act to try to land a new client; if anything, they gave even more of themselves as the case progressed. They listened to my input, and adapted their case as needed.

Jessica Baker, Mike’s legal assistant, kept in touch with me almost every day for the majority of the case. She was the primary contact with the other driver’s insurance company to ensure I had a rental car, that the medical bills were addressed, and that all of my questions were answered immediately. She provided the buffer I needed between the insurance companies and myself, held my hand when I needed it, and gave me space when I needed room to breathe.

My case was not a million-dollar payday for them; nor was it a high-profile case. Regardless, Mike and Jessica made me feel as if I was their top client, and in fact, their only client.

Personal injury law, especially that involving vehicular incidents, is not easy to understand; it is complex, and requires interaction with professionals whose only job is to discredit the victim and minimize their own client’s liability. It would have been impossible to reach a satisfactory agreement without the experts Mike Nakamura and Jessica Baker in my corner. They were able to negotiate the maximum settlement with minimal impact on my recovery and time.

In my career, I am required to testify in court, frequently opposed by the area’s best criminal defense attorneys. In twenty-one years, I have never once found myself nervous prior to or during a court case when on the stand. There is no doubt in my mind that should I find myself on the wrong side of Mr. Nakamura in a court case, I would be terrified. He has such presence, has such a firm grasp of the law and regarding the facts of my case in particular, and possesses self-confidence that would intimidate even the most seasoned investigator or opposing counsel. Should you ever find yourself in a courtroom with Mike Nakamura, you had best hope you are sitting at the same table as him.

In short, if you are looking for an attorney to represent you following an accident, look no farther than Mike Nakamura. He and Jessica Baker are the best of the best.

Great settlement attorneys and support staff

Closed on a condo Jan 17, 2017 at noon. It is Jan 18, 2017 9:41, they still have not transferred the funds due to us. I continue to get the grand runaround as I am chasing my money.

These medical malpractice lawyers should be on the top of your speed dial list when something goes askew and you need an attorney to represent you in a medical malpractice or personal injury case in Rockville, Montgomery County, the State of Maryland, or beyond.

When my 6-year old daughter fell out of a two-story window at her child care center, I didn't even know where to start. Luckily, I was immediately referred to Mike Nakamura. Together with his assistant, Jessica Baker, Mike provided the guidance and reassurance I needed to make the right decisions for my family. Because I was unfamiliar with the legal process and insurance practices for this type of accident, I was afraid to make the wrong decisions. Mike and Jessica eased my mind, gave me practical and sound advice, and always took time to listen to my concerns. In the midst of their busy profession, they always made me feel like my daughter came first. I know I would not have been able to deal with this alone. Because of their help, we were able to make a settlement that will provide for my daughter in the future. Mike and Jessica were knowledgeable, compassionate, and always available. They worked diligently to take care of my daughter and my family. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm to a friend.

I felt pretty down on my luck when I l got rear ended by a driver who clearly wasn't paying attention on the road.

Cue Paul Chung and Jessica Baker from Shulman Rogers to swoop in and alleviate my worries, not making me handle a thing myself and assuring me every step of the way that they had things under control.

Paul and Jessica did a wonderful job of informing me what my rights were. They dealt with the multiple auto insurance companies, doctors, physical therapists, car dealerships and auto repair shops that my case required. They promptly answered my every question, and prudently advised me in every situation.

In addition, they're terrific to be around. I truly enjoyed their company.
I can't thank them enough.

I was recommended to Shulman, Rogers, Gandal, Pordy & Ecker, P.A., from my former employer and I'm glad he did. Shulman, Rogers, Gandal, Pordy & Ecker, P.A. reviewed my case and took it, and they handled it with excellence and professionalism. My case was a car accident, and the staff of Shulman, Rogers, Gandal, Pordy & Ecker, P.A. were very concerned about me recovering from my injuries and getting my health back to 100%. They handled all of my legal issues, hospital issues, any problem I had with bill collectors stemming from the accident and the other party involved. Shulman, Rogers, Gandal, Pordy & Ecker, P.A. fought very hard for me to get the compensation that I was due. I am very please with my settlement that I recieved, they fought tirelessly to get me the settlement that I deserved. I deffinitly would reccomend this Law Firm to anyone who needs the best lawyers, they are truly the BEST EVER.

This is the BEST Law Firm I could have ever hoped to deal with during a very difficult time in my life. Their professionalism and courtesy made the experience of a very emotional case that much simpler. I would highly recommend them to anyone and will never even question where to go in the future should I need further assistance in any legal matters. The most incredible lawyer Karl Protil was assigned to my case and with him came an OUTSTANDING paralegal Jessica Baker. I can never thank them enough for all the help they provided me and my family.

After being involved in my first car accident in October 2013, I wasn't even sure where to start with everything that needed to be done. Luckily, I have an insurance company that was beyond helpful, but when I was served with paperwork saying a passenger in the other car was suing both that driver and I, I panicked. Although I was not the one at fault, I figured I should at least talk to a lawyer to make sure I wouldn't be punished for something that I wasn't responsible for. I was referred to Shulman, Rogers, etc. by someone my mother knows, and I couldn't have made a better decision than to contact them. After my initial e-mail to attorney Paul Chung, he responded back to me quickly and asked when he could meet with me in person to discuss everything. Throughout the year long process, he and Paralegal Jessica Baker, handled everything for me. I honestly don't even know where to start with explaining everything they took care of, that's how good of a job they did. They took 100% of the weight off of my shoulders, which allowed me to start living again without worrying everyday about the accident and lawsuit against me, which I will forever be thankful for. I'm sure with all the cases they deal with, mine seemed relatively "easy" to them, but Jessica Baker never made me feel like I wasn't important. If I had a question and sent her an e-mail late one night, I'd wake up the next morning with a response from her right away.

I was extremely pleased with this law firm, and will gladly refer them to anyone I know that may need legal advice.

I was represented by Mike Nakamura of Shulman, Rogers and needless to say I was always comfortable, and all my questions were answered from start to finish. Along with the assistance of Mr. Nakamura and Sheila Colvin, everything was handled wonderfully. They were always professional and kept me in the loop with things that were going on. They made sure I understood all aspects. I would recommend them to anyone, they were amazing.

From the very start Michael Nakamura and Jessica Baker made me feel at ease. It was through unfortunate circumstances that brought us together but these two handled everything with utmost importance from day one and really put my family's worries at ease. There's no doubt whom I shall call should I ever have a problem again.
