We appreciate your wisdom, help and guidance. Without that we wouldn’t have made it.” – Client from Maryland. “Dear Mr. Schloss: Everything is going well. Money is invested very well. You’re an ACE in my book! Thanks again!” – Client from Maryland. “Dear Mr. Schloss: I know my wife and I could never repay you for all of your help and kindness during this ordeal. We both want you to know we appreciate everything you and your staff have done for us and continue to do for us. We are both glad you are on our side and not representing the insurance company. When we are young we all have to make a decision of what we want to do with our lives as well as what profession we would like to be involved in. When you made your decision to become a lawyer, you made the perfect decision. There are many lawyers, but there are only a few who dedicate their lives to their profession and are as compassionate as you are about your clients and getting the job done the right way the first time.” – Client from Maryland. “Dear Mr. Schloss: I wish to thank you for the fantastic job that you accomplished yesterday.

We also know these adjusters play these intimidation games against workers who are guilty of nothing more than getting hurt while doing their job. It feels great to know they can play all they want, but in the end they lose. You have taught me so much about patience and the law. My wife and I both believe you have done an excellent job watching out for our best interests. It’s because of your hard work that we have had about the best year since the start of this whole mess.” – Client from Maryland. “David, I wanted to make sure you knew how much my wife and I both appreciate what you do, and have done for us. We are and have been very fortunate to have someone such as yourself in our corner backing us up for these many years now. Not once have you ever taken the easy road, and you have always been right there making sure we weren’t being taken advantage of. We both know how hard it is for a client and their attorney to get along in some instances, and we also know everyone isn’t always going to see eye to eye when things don’t go the way a client feels they should. Please know you are more than just an attorney. We consider you our friend as well.” – Client from Maryland. “This is going to help me out a lot and I am really thankful for all your help. You have done a great job. Thank you.” – Client from Virginia. “Mr. Schloss: My life and finances have really changed because of you. The blessings of God in heaven sent me a great lawyer.
