Good morning,
Thanks so much for your services, you did a fantastic job from start to finish, I couldn’t have chosen a better attorney!!! Just so I am clear, all the charges have been dropped and once I pay off my balance I will have the charges dropped/expunged from my record?
Thanks,

I am speechless for what you have done for me today. I have no words to express myself. I mean you saved me for a third time, and I promise, it will never happen again. Thank you so much for your outstanding job, I mean you are the best. . . .

Mr. Stamm,
With many thanks I send you this note of gratitude. I am incredibly grateful for you helping me through this ordeal/mistake which will not be repeated. I don’t even want to imagine a different outcome if your weren’t my attorney. You are an exceptionally skilled man when it comes to this kind of law.
Thank you,

I just wanted to thank you and Kelly once more for everything. I was so nervous about everything. I must say you have really impressed me. I am not a believer of the metaphysical, but, it felt like magic the way you made everything disappear. I was sweating because of my three prior convictions and wasn’t too sure I’d be walking out of that courtroom with you and my fiance. You definitely were like a samurai in there. Then you had all these other lawyers asking you to autograph your book. Classic. So, with that being said, I strongly recommend to anyone seeking the best DUI lawyer in MD or DC . . . . Look no further than Lenny Stamm.

Hello Mr Stamm,
I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your performance in court last Monday. G says ” it was 1 Lenny Stamm vs. 3 prosecutors and it was unfair….. on the prosecutors.” They didn’t stand a chance. Ha ha. It was a great win for sure. I was a nervous wreck in court. I’m thrilled to have this mistake behind me. You really did an outstanding job.
Many thanks to Kelly as well as she always guided me in the right direction as to what was happening next.
Take Care! Sincerely,
R.J.

Dear Lenny,
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did for my son, M.E. I tried to properly thank you after court that day, but don’t think I was able to express my appreciation properly through my tears. Once I met you , I felt assured that he could not of been in better hands. I will always be grateful for all of you have done for M. Wishing you and your family a very happy holiday season.
Best,

Hi Lenny,
Just wanted to say thanks again for being a wonderful advocate today. It was so impressive to see the way you handled the officer. I can see why they don’t like you…. Just before you arrived, Z and I were waiting outside the room, and the officer turned up, came over to us and asked Z “where Stamm was.” Z replied that you were on your way, and the officer replied “he better be.” It was so obvious then that he wasn’t happy at all about being there.
Thanks again!

I want to thank you one last time for all you have done to help me, I am very grateful. I do recognize that without your help I would be just getting out of jail about this time and trying to start again at life . . .
I thank you for giving me these past several years. I have had a very successful change in careers, an ability to marry, have three children, and maintain sobriety for what will be 10 years next month. This would not have happened otherwise.
Sincerely,

You were great on Monday! It was amazing to see you in action at what you do best. Thanks for your professionalism throughout this entire painful process. Your interaction with the Judge seemed scripted at times as if you were on the same wavelength. I know that only comes through experience and extensive knowledge of the law. I am truly grateful to have found you for my defense.
As a final note, I was wondering if you are able to research if the records can be Expunged or not? With my limited research it looks like Federal Records are not able to be expunged. As far as my MD MVA records; how do I expunge those records? . . .
Thanks again,

Dear Mr. Stamm,
I received the paperwork for expungement and will get them back you quickly. Many thanks.
I have continued going to Right Turn of Maryland after the acquittal. Is there any legal reason to continue? (Frankly, I would prefer to save the fees.)
Again, many thanks for your strong advocacy on my behalf.

Mrs. Leshner,
I cannot begin to thank you for the exceptional service you and your firm have given me. The case was handled perfectly and the outcome was better than I had hoped. I recently received my confirmation letter that the records had been expunged and with that this long painful lesson is at an end. Having learned this lesson without lasting damage is thanks to you and the rest of your firm. You and Kelly treated me like a person and not just another case. That made this ordeal bearable. Kelly is great. Whatever came up with all the scheduling issues I was never worried something got missed. She is personable and professional. Thank you all for everything. Especially you, with your expertise and kind heart made this almost a pleasure. I cannot thank you enough. If there is ever anything I can do for you please do not hesitate to call me. I wish you the very best.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Stamm,
I do apologize that this note is so late in coming but I just wanted to write to express my thanks to you and your legal team. Honestly I wish I could send flowers to express my gratitude but I just can’t afford it. I wanted to let you know that Kelly, Andrea, and Johanna were simply amazing throughout this entire awful process and I don’t know what I would have done without you and your legal team. Also I know legal fees are usually very high but looking back at all the time and effort your office put in, I actually think it was a bargain – some of the best money I’ve ever spent. I just can’t thank you enough.
Sincerely,
A.H.

Dear Mr. Stamm:
First and foremost I would like to thank you and staff for the excellent representation of my case. Being cited for my third DWI I knew that a top notch attorney was needed and you were it. I would never have thought that my MVA trial would be, “NO ACTION.” Also, I would never have believed that my other charges would be “NOLLE PROSEQUI.” During our initial consultation you stated the following, “Either you are crazy or you have a problem.” Well, I have a problem and that one is alcohol. I am coming up on five months of sobriety and have yet to yet into any legal issues and/or situations involving the police. Almost daily I attend AA meetings and I’m actually continuing the twenty six week DWI offenders program free of court order. I wish you and your staff a Happy Holiday Season!
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Stamm:
Thank you so much for all your help. I’m glad I didn’t get a chance to see you in action but I’m sure it would have been “great” to see. You really impressed me at the DMV hearing, and I’m very sure with you by my side, we would have won at trial, should we have gone. Thanks for everything. You were money well spent. I really think after all this I’ll never drink & drive again.
Thanks again

Dear Mr. Stamm,
Please find enclosed my final payment towards your legal fees.
When I first spoke with you I was in serious trouble. If I were to be convicted on the charges against me it would have had extremely serious consequences on my family and my career. However thanks to your vast legal expertise, thorough preparation of the case and formidable legal skills I got off with a PBJ and a favorable ruling at the MVA hearing. Sometimes I still cannot believe the outcome. It has been a huge relief. Additionally, this incident helped me to realize the gravity of my problem with the help of Circle Treatment Center, and I am taking all the steps required to overcome this problem.
Sir, I do want to take this opportunity to extend to you my deepest gratitude, it would not be an exaggeration to [say] that you saved my life.
Thank You,
Yours Sincerely,
D.E.

Dear Len, Kelly & Staff,
I can’t thank you enough for the dedicated efforts of everyone on my behalf.
When I first read on your website that “pleading guilty is the number 1 mistake,” and that you were the “best defense lawyer in Maryland,” I didn’t quite believe it. But after seeing your thorough legal and technical expertise at work in a courtroom (that won acquittal), I know that both things are VERY TRUE. You are the Best of the best, the real deal.
Thank you as well for your guidance and good humor. Every day I hear your words, “You should never touch alcohol again . . .” and I don’t, and I move forward. Bless you and your families this season.
Sincerely,
D.T.

If god ever sent me a guardian angel, you were it!
Let me tell my story briefly for any new “web searchers”.
I’m 40 years old, wife and kids, 2 under the age of 7,and have a home and a good job. In my early days in the military and hanging out with the guys, I ended up with 3 DWI charges over a period of time,15 to 20 years ago. I finally grew up and carried on a normal life until I was a subject to peer pressure and celebrating a friend’s wedding, which lead me to you. With Christmas approaching and the thought of jail time coming around that time, just put me in a state of panic, as your secretary Kelly could tell you.
Your “expertise knowledge” of the state and law proved that the “system” can make mistakes also, and that’s what you did and proved it to where I had to pay a speeding ticket and that was it !!!!!!. I was able to enjoy the freedom and the holidays with my family, when the worst outcome could have happened. I can not begin to thank you enough for taking my case and the way it turned out.
I will never forget what you said to me leaving the court room, “You are one of those people who can not drink and drive, because if you do, you will get caught”!!. I live by that statement everyday and thank god for you coming into my life. I hope you and your family, and your staff, had a wonderful holiday and the next time I see you will be at Giant or Safeway.
With “MORE THANKS” than you’ll ever know,
R.M.J.

Lenny and Kelly:
One year ago this hour I was talking to a friend in Georgia about referring me to a lawyer in Maryland.
My year long nightmare is over, and I just wanted to take a minute to thank both of you for all of your help in my case. Interacting with you has been a pleasure, and while I am glad to have it behind me I will miss dealing with you both. Your good humor and professionalism made my difficult situation bearable.
Thank you both very much for all of your assistance, I wish you and your firm the best of luck in the future.
My Very Best Regards,

Dear Lenny,
I was so stunned at hearing Judge Becker find me not guilty on all five counts yesterday, I’m afraid I may not have taken time to properly thank you. I couldn’t have imagined a better outcome. It is an enormous relief both personally and professionally to have this burden lifted after almost 2 years. I think I must have taken out and reread the verdict form at least a half dozen times yesterday.
Thank you again for your diligence, guidance, expertise, and all your hard work on my behalf over the last 20 months.
Sincerely,
J.F.

Mr. Stamm:
I wanted to write to you and personally thank you for your legal efforts that proved to be so successful for me during this past year. 2002 was very challenging for me, especially through the additional trouble that I brought onto myself, and you helped me tremendously through making it a “not near as bad as it could have been” situation. I really appreciated your hard work, dedication and extreme talent. I do not plan on needing your services again, but if someone close to me does, I will recommend you with the utmost confidence. You are the best.
Please express my gratitude to Kelly and a Happy New Year to you both.

I just wanted to thank you again for the fantastic presentation of my case in court yesterday. A remarkable blend of professionalism and marvelous sense of humor, attention to every little detail and ability to aggressively fight every step of the way brought us the desired result.
Again, thank you very much.

Dear Lenny:
I am remitting my final payment for services rendered years ago, and wanted to include along with it an honest apology for being such a deadbeat client. I will offer no excuses since there are none that would not be found humorous at this point. What I did (or failed to do) was wrong, dead wrong, especially in light of the excellent services you and your staff afforded to me in my time of great need (re: my ass being on fire).
I am also including an extra $100.00 to cover the costs of postage, stationary, etc. that you guys had to waste your time on trying to stay in touch with me over the years. I hope this covers any extraneous costs incurred to your firm. If it falls short, please feel free to contact me at any time and I will be more than happy to settle the difference.
I also wanted to thank you for your infinite patience on not pursuing this matter legally, as is your right, since I would have been cut up as if with great lion’s claws!
Thanks again. You guys did a great job and my delay certainly did not show much appreciation, although I have always been deeply grateful for your talents.
Hope you, Kelly, and the staff have a safe and happy holiday season.
Sincerely,
D.R.

Dear Sir:
You told me once that you would never forget your first client. You proved that when a few years ago you advised me on how to file an appeal and refused to accept any payment for your time and counsel.
Please forgive me for not sending you this small token then, but please accept it now with my sincerest gratitude for helping me and my dear friend, Mr. T.
I hope the two of you can reach a deal and I will only be more indebted to you if you can help him. I have told him you are his best hope and I sincerely believe that.
Thanks again for being one of the few who actually gives lawyers a good name.
Respectfully,
F.K.

I am sending you a money order in the amount of $376.00, which is the balance due on my son’s (A.M.) case. I am taking advantage of this opportunity to once again THANK YOU for defending my son and doing such a splendid job. A. is working hard and is very happy to be free.

Dear Mr. Stamm:
I’d like to thank you for taking time to appear in court with me last week. I’ll have to admit, it was a new experience for me. I still vividly recall the entire proceedings – what a difference it makes to have an experienced attorney representing you in court. You responded in a split second to the officers testimony – catching him totally off guard. Even the judge seemed to enjoy the change of pace.
If I can ever return a favor – “appear as an expert witness on the principles of radar (just kidding)” – let me know. You’ve got a real gift in the court room – if anyone I know needs an attorney – I won’t hesitate to send them your way. Thanks again.
Sincerely,

Mr. Stamm,
Thanks once again for your efforts on my behalf at the MVA. I’m sure that losing my driving privilege would have been a hardship for me and my family. I hope the rest of your cases went as well. I know this is half the battle and am glad you will represent me in Dec.

Dear Lenny:
Thank you for your representation during the hearing last Friday. I am very glad that things worked out well. I only hope that things continue to go well. Please find the enclosed money order. Further payment will be forthcoming. I have also forwarded the hearing officer’s findings and decision.
I am tempted to express my appreciation for the excellent representation that I am receiving, the feeling of relief that I have because I have the use of my car for my work with the firm, and the tremendous respect that I have for you and Mr. Goldstein. However, I will not do so because I am trying to cut through the fog, as per your suggestion.
Thanks.
Very truly yours,
