What My Clients Are Saying
“Michael Sanders Worked Feverishly, Intelligently and with Great Respect”
David J.
“Being of ‘late age’, my malpractice suit wasn’t worth enough for the number of lawyers who turned me down to take it on, but then I heard about Paul D’Amore, and money was not his primary motivator. I don’t tell “lawyer jokes” any longer. Both he and his associate Michael Sanders worked feverishly, intelligently and with great respect for me to get the best result possible, and from a very highly-lawyered and prominent hospital in Maryland.”
Our Winning Philosophy
Readers of the Maryland Daily Record voted D’Amore Personal Injury Law their #1 choice for medical malpractice cases in Maryland.
