I have my own law firm - Michael B. Hamar, P.C. - and practice in the areas of real estate, estate planning (Wills, Trusts, Advanced Medical Directives, Financial Powers of Attorney, Durable Medical Powers of Attorney); business law and commercial transactions; formation of corporations and LLC's; and legal services to the gay, lesbian and transgender community, including birth certificate amendment.

I have been practicing law since 1996.  Since working as a page in high school, and then as an intern and clerk for Congressmen while in college, I have developed a serious desire to help out the “little guy” and help them stand up to the largest of corporate powers.   Over the course of almost two decades in law, I have helped thousands of clients get the justice and compensation they deserve for their injuries.. I am a graduate of Lafayette College and the Howard University School of law with honors, and served as an associate managing editor of the law review. I practice law with genuine heart and a work ethic that separates myself from peers.  Born and raised outside of Washington D.C., I worked as a page in high school and then as an intern and clerk for Congressmen on both sides of the aisle during every summer while in college.  Further, while in law school, I clerked for the Superior Court of the District of Columbia and the United States Attorney's Office in San Diego, California. I am a member of numerous bar associations locally and nationally and teach trial advocacy CLE courses annually to my peers.
