Hi, I’m Maryland accident and injury lawyer Phil Santa Maria. Allow me to introduce myself by telling you 10 Things about my background and interests.. I have been a lawyer for more than 30 years.  I. Who’s Who in American Law is a prestigious publication that recognizes excellence in the law. It currently recognizes about 2 1/2% of American lawyers. I am proud that I have been listed in their book for more than 30 years.. The Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory has a peer rating system where lawyers and judges rate each other based on legal skill and ethics. The highest possible rating is called “AV,” and I am told that only about 8% of the lawyers in the United States achieve this rating. I’m proud that I have been one of them for more than 30 years.. I am a lifetime member of Million Dollar Advocates Forum, an organization whose members have handled million dollar cases. Less than 1% of American lawyers are members.. These are a few more personal things . . .. II am married. My wife, Kathie, is a Personal Trainer and Fitness Instructor. Between us, we have 4 adult children.. I am a fitness person. That is, I have a special interest in health and fitness. I’m a Certified Fitness Instructor.. I’m a sports fan. I’ve played and watched sports for as long as I can remember.. I love to travel. I think my all-time favorite vacation was to Bora-Bora.. I love to make photographs, especially when we travel. I’ve won some awards for my photos and I’ve had a public exhibition which was a thrill. Recently, I created a website to display some of my photographs.. I enjoy volunteer and charitable work. I volunteer legal services to those who can’t afford to pay for it.  I participated in a program called “Lawyers Who Care” and became qualified to represent 9/11 victim’s families.  I’ve coached a lot of youth sports, especially basketball.  I created and ran a youth ski club.  I have volunteered at soup kitchens for many years. I have been a Meals on Wheels driver for more than 20 years.  Another favorite thing Kathie and I did was an AIDS Ride several years ago where we rode our bicycles from Raleigh, North Carolina, to Washington, D.C., about 350 miles in 4 days. I have done volunteer community mediation.. I’m interested in government and politics.. I love humor. I like to go to comedy clubs and to movie comedies. I like to hear jokes and to tell them..
