Howard County Injury and Accident Cases

Portner & Shure is a Howard County based law firm specializing in personal injury law, criminal law, and DUI/DWI law. Our Howard County lawyers are very familiar with the unique characteristics of the area. Howard County is an amazing melting pot located between Baltimore, Maryland and Washington, D.C.. Howard County consists of Columbia, Ellicott City, Clarksville, Laurel, Glenelg, Jessup and Sykesville. Largely due to its size and location, it consists of the new and the old as well as the rural and the urban. Columbia, Maryland is well known for its top notch schools, and has one of the most affluent and educated communities in the nation while Ellicott City is known for its historic flavor.

Although Columbia has the largest population in Howard County, both the District Court and the Circuit Court are located in Ellicott City. When compared with other jurisdictions Howard County has relatively few Circuit Court judges. For instance, Howard County has only five sitting judges while Baltimore City has over thirty. The Circuit Court Judges in Howard County are Diane O. Leasure, Lenore R. Gelfman, Louis A. Becker, III, Richard Berhardt, and Timothy J. McCrone.

The majority of Maryland automobile accident attorneys feel that Howard County is an "average" jurisdiction in which to try a personal injury claim. As a result, some personal injury attorneys may be inclined to only file suit in those cases where the victim sustained severe injuries. Our Howard County accident attorneys have received fair compensation on behalf of our clients for the injury claims filed in the District Court in addition to those obtained from juries in the Circuit Court.

An understanding of the jurisdiction in which an automobile accident occurs is essential to a successful recovery. The main office of Portner & Shure, P.A, is located in the heart of Columbia, Maryland just ten minutes from the courthouse. Mr. Portner lives with his family here in Howard County and is extremely active in the community. Further, half of the paralegal staff at Portner & Shure lives in Howard County. While we are a large personal injury firm and practice law throughout Maryland, we are still a local firm. We are your neighbors and, as such, care and know about this community. In fact, Nick Parr one of our Howard County personal injury and Howard County criminal defense lawyers, previously taught Geography and coached varsity boys lacrosse for nine years at Glenelg Country School. Portner & Shure knows personal injury law, criminal law, and Howard County. Our office handles a substantial amount of personal injury, automobile accident, and truck accident cases in Howard County. If you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident or would like to speak with one of our Howard County accident lawyers, please feel free to contact our office.
