There are two main reasons why you should choose DSA to represent you in your personal injury matter.

(1) We have the experience and training to handle your case from a position of strength.
The Firm includes former prosecutors and a former police officer, who have investigated and prosecuted the most serious types of collisions including vehicular homicide.  During this prosecuting such cases for the State of Maryland, they worked with the Maryland State Police Crime Team, accident reconstruction experts, attended training by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration,  and honed their ability to present these serious cases to a judge or jury to obtain justice for the victims of those crashes.  The Firm also includes a former insurance defense attorney, who brings the experience and insight as to how insurance companies will treat your matter.  Having worked for the insurance companies, she knows the protocols they follow and the tactics that they use, and that information is all used now for your benefit.  By having such a collection of knowledge and experience, and by not being afraid of the courtroom, we can best maximize the recovery that you deserve.  

(2) You will have direct contact with the attorneys at every step in your case.
An important question you should ask any personal injury law firm before hiring them is when you call with a question, or to discuss the progress of your case, who will be answering your questions?  Unfortunately in many personal injury firms, you may only see the attorney at the very beginning of your case, and at the very end when they tell you of a settlement offer. Unfortunately, many personal injury firms rely on a great deal of support staff such that when you call, you really never get the chance to speak directly with your attorney.  That does not happen at DeLeonardo, Smith, & Associates.  Our lawyers take pride in having direct contact with the clients, and promptly responding to any phone calls or emails.  In fact, every personal injury client is provided with the lawyers personal cell phone number so they can call at anytime outside of work hours when an emergency issue should arise.  Our lawyers are directly involved in every aspect of your case, and recovery, and that is what each personal injury client deserves when they place their trust in us to handle what can be a life-altering event for them and their family.
