The Law Firm

Clients have come to rely on us to identify and address the salient issues, analyze and interpret complex information and develop and implement solution-oriented strategies that protect their interests and ensure their long-term success. It is that problem-solving perspective, combined with a legal sophistication and a unique understanding of the ever-changing business landscape, that enables our lawyers to assist clients in achieving favorable results.

Founded in 1972 in Montgomery County, Paley Rothman has earned a reputation as one of the leading law firms in the region. Paley Rothman is known for its high quality legal services and sophisticated practices. The firm has developed a loyal base of clients who appreciate Paley Rothman’s competitive pricing, efficiency, collegiality and knowledge. Yet at the same time, our growth reflects a cutting-edge knowledge of the law and a sophistication that makes us as worldly as our downtown D.C. colleagues when it comes to handling the most complex business or individual legal matters.

The fact that we are a mid-sized firm benefits our clients. We operate in a cost-efficient manner with lean staffing and the highest level of personal and attentive service. Our clients know that they are important to us and that we strive to understand what they want and need in any given engagement. We work hard at the outset of a relationship and throughout different phases of every matter to understand our clients' goals and objectives, and we strive to attain each of them. We provide value to our clients through efficient management of client matters, and a collaborative approach that not only gives an added benefit of using our collective proficiency, but assures the appropriate allocation of resources at every stage.

Our attorneys, many of whom hold leadership positions in legal, charitable and community organizations, possess professional credentials that speak to their many years of experience–and track records of achieving results–in their respective fields. The depth and diversity of our practice areas supports the team-oriented approach we take in handling the most complex legal matters. As in any client service industry, our success is strictly a function of meeting or exceeding the legal needs of the business organizations and individuals that hire us. The firm’s ability to retain such a high percentage of its clients, combined with the rate at which we receive new business referrals from them–and our peers in the profession–is a good indication that we’ve achieved a level of success of which we are extremely proud.

Business Oriented, People Focused

We are a full-service, business oriented law firm. We provide a wide range of legal counsel and representation, working collaboratively with clients, whether businesspeople or individuals, on their business and personal matters.

The increasingly sophisticated needs of our clients often require the legal advice of attorneys in many practice areas. Our attorneys are sufficiently skilled—and equally versatile—to allow us to assemble a team whose members offer just the right combination of knowledge and experience to handle every aspect of the most complex legal matters.

Each of these practice areas maintains a similar standard for providing legal advice that is as sound as it is supportive. Whether they’re handling a real estate transaction, negotiating the sale or purchase of a business, creating and implementing a multifaceted estate plan or litigating a case in federal or state courts, our attorneys bring the resources—and the responsiveness—that deliver practical and cost-effective solutions.
