I have closed my law firm effective 10/21/22. If you believe you are a current client, you are probably mistaken. I am only representing clients in the very last stage of their cases where a decision is about to be rendered and where no action needs to be taken in order to get that decision.

For Social Security matters, I advise you call Jenkins, Block & Associates at 410-727-4000 or email at bruce.block@teamjba.comMichelle.mulcare@teamjba.com or Jennifer.hecner@teamjba.com - for all other matters I have no recommended referral. I do not regularly monitor this email or my phone messages. Requests for former client files should be made in writing to:
