Divorce

He has published a number of articles and has lectured widely. He has been recognized as a Maryland Super Lawyer™ each year from 2010 – to date as well as being one of Maryland’s top 100 lawyers in 2020.

Criminal Defense
If you have been charged with a criminal offense anywhere in Maryland, you need to hire a competent, confident, and aggressive Criminal Law attorney. The attorneys at LEVIN GANN PA should be at the top of your list, due to our unwavering commitment to our clients and over 100 years of experience in the field.
DUI/DWI
Motor Vehicle Law (DUI, DWI, Underinsured Driving, Driving without a License, Negligent/Reckless Driving, Failure to Display License, Moving Violations, Leaving the Scene of an Accident)
Wrongful Death
Mr. Eidelberg launched his legal career in public service as an Assistant State’s Attorney for Baltimore County, Maryland, where he served as a Unit Chief for its Repeat Offender, Felony Review and Arson Units while prosecuting countless juvenile, misdemeanor and felony cases, including DUI, assault, theft, narcotics violations, homicide, and property offenses. Upon entering the private sector, Mr. Eidelberg defended toxic tort and medical products liability cases before diversifying his trial practice on various aspects of complex civil litigation, including wrongful death, medical negligence, serious personal injury, business disputes, and construction-defect cases. A graduate of the National College of District Attorney’s Career Prosecutor program and member of the Maryland Association of Justice’s medical malpractice and automobile negligence sections, Mr. Eidelberg also employs his extensive courtroom experience throughout Maryland to protect the interests of individuals charged with the serious motor vehicle and criminal offenses and obtain compensation for injured workers before the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission.
Traffic Violations
Mr. Eidelberg is a fantastic attorney. I needed to hire an attorney for a speeding violation, and Mr. Eidelberg is the best lawyer I could find. After consulting with him, he informed me of everything I was charged with and was extremely clear about the possible outcomes of the case. He also informed me of everything that I needed to do in order to possibly have the judge reduce fines and avoid points on my insurance. I followed his steps, and he took care of the rest. After we waited for a trial date for a substantial amount of time, Mr. Eidelberg was successful in getting my case dismissed because I was denied a “speedy trial”. This means absolutely zero fines and zero points, as well as a clean record. Do yourself the favor, and look no further than Mr. Eidelberg.
Sex Crimes
In addition to his successful private practice, Mr. Condliffe does individual pro bono cases. Mostly these have been on behalf of the Sexual Assault Legal Institute, Legal Aid of Maryland and Catholic Charities of Washington, D.C.
Theft
Misdemeanors
Ms. Cruz graduated from the University of Florida With Honors with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. She received her Juris Doctor degree from The University of Florida College of Law, where she was a National Trial Advocacy scholar, and served on the Law School’s Honor Court. She also prosecuted misdemeanors for the State of Florida as a graduate of the University’s Criminal Internship Program.
Assault
Identity Theft
Homicide
Arson
Shoplifting
Hit and Run
Mr. Eidelberg showed he was extremely knowledgeable about the law from the initial consultation. He did not sell any dreams and he was very realistic but, was still comforting. Mr. Eidelberg’s prices were reasonable as well. He didn’t up charge due to his name or status which is the feel I received from other attorneys I spoke with. He checked all the boxes a great attorney should, and I hired him immediately. I ended up in a sticky mess that involved a hit and run involving injury as well as other minor traffic violations and I was in a unique situation where most outcomes wouldn’t be ideal unless the charges had been dropped all together. Mr. Eidelberg was prepared from day one. Not only with the things a judge may be swayed by but also how the state and county in which the offense occurred operates. The small details are what can make the difference and Mr. Eidelberg was keen on these details. Most of the time between the incident and the court date was a waiting period and I was kept in the loop the entire time up until the day of court. On that day he was prompt and forthcoming about all options and possible outcomes. When it came down to it his years of practice showed even down the how comfortable and confident his tone was when speaking to the court staff and judge. Mr. Eidelberg’s preparedness on the front end led to maybe 5 minutes in open court if that as he embarrassed the prosecution and had all charges dropped. Truthfully, he would be scary for any prosecution to stand across in any court setting as I’m positive he was ready to fight tooth and nail on all fronts. I ever find myself in anything remotely close to what I encountered Mr. Eidelberg will always be my first call.
