Andalman & Flynn: The law firm Maryland turns to for...

Federal Disability Retirement (FERS and CSRS)

Federal Disability Retirement (FDR) is a benefit provided to protect federal employees qualified under the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) and the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) programs, who are no longer able to perform their job because of a medical condition. The FDR application is a long and tedious form that must include packets from your agency as well as from your treating physicians before it is complete and ready for a decision by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). At Andalman & Flynn, we fight aggressively to protect our clients' rights and have provided successful legal representation to many federal employees. We will put your application packet together and collect the necessary evidence to maximize your chances of winning. Our experience and knowledge allow us to identify and solve problems before they become the basis for a denial. Don’t apply for these claims alone. Hire an experienced attorney at Andalman & Flynn to protect your rights.

Divorce, Custody, and Family Law

Guiding you through the legal hurdles of separation and divorce and helping you achieve your ideal scenario as you begin your new life is the primary goal of Andalman & Flynn family law attorneys. Whether those hurdles include child custody and child support, alimony, property distribution, or more grave matters such as domestic abuse and violence, our attorneys are there to ensure that all of your legal rights are respected and protected, whether in court or in negotiation. We also offer comprehensive assistance on other family law matters, such as adoption, guardianship and alternative families.

Protection from Abuse and Violence

Domestic violence and abuse are very sensitive and personal issues; they also require immediate action to protect yourself, your children, and loved ones from further harm, both physical and emotional.

The attorneys at Andalman & Flynn are very experienced in protecting victims of domestic violence and abuse by obtaining and enforcing Protective Orders and Peace Orders. Contact the attorneys of Andalman & Flynn immediately for a consultation and assistance seeking orders of protection from domestic violence and abuse.

If you are the victim of abuse or domestic violence and it is either after 5:30 p.m. on weeknights, the weekend, or a holiday, please contact the District Court Commissioners for assistance with obtaining an Interim Protective or Peace Order for protection from domestic violence or abuse. Then, contact us on the first business day after obtaining your Interim Protective or Peace Order for further assistance.

Criminal Law

Andalman & Flynn offers aggressive criminal defense representation for clients who have been accused of serious crimes, felonies, misdemeanors, juvenile offenses and traffic citations; and, we have represented many individuals who face the possibility of a prison sentence and/or hefty fines if they are convicted.

We value the importance of preserving your record and we'll work with you to ensure that your rights are protected and to bring every legal advantage of an experienced criminal law firm to your defense.

Alternative Dispute Resolution

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is a faster and more efficient way to settle certain types of legal disputes, and often gives the parties involved more flexibility in determining the outcome and terms of the legal solution. In Maryland and the District of Columbia, Andalman & Flynn attorneys can act as your legal counsel or as the neutral mediator in cases involving mediation, arbitration, the collaborative law process, and the collaborative law process in separation, divorce and family law.

Collections

Andalman & Flynn is a licensed, insured and bonded collection agency, providing collection and litigation services on behalf of a wide variety of clients, including other law firms and attorneys, small and large businesses, landlords and real estate management companies, retail businesses, private schools, and health care professionals. Our firm also helps attorneys, law firms, individuals, and businesses enforce civil judgments.

Personal Injury

Our attorneys have decades of experience helping you obtain compensation when injured through the negligence of another individual or company. We have won compensation for clients in a wide array of situations including automobile, truck and pedestrian accidents, pharmaceutical and other product liability cases, medical negligence, wrongful death claims, and trip/slip and falls. We seek to maximize compensation for our clients. We work with expert witnesses, such as police, doctors and vocational experts, to prove that the person who injured you is held legally responsible and should be required to pay for your damages, which may include lost wages, lost earnings capacity, past and future medical expenses, and pain, suffering and loss of quality of life.

Social Security Disability Insurance

Processing a disability claim through the channels of the Social Security Administration can be a complex and time-consuming effort, often ending with claimants getting none of what they deserve. Andalman & Flynn attorneys know the hundreds of pages of Social Security regulations and are experienced in how to prove your disability according to these regulations. Thus we maximize our clients' chances of winning Social Security Disability benefits, and the Medicare health insurance that comes with it, in order for you to have the financial stability you need to lessen the challenges your disability poses for you. Andalman & Flynn attorneys are here for you today.

Long Term Disability Insurance / ERISA

Many employers now provide employees with Short Term and Long Term Disability Insurance to protect their income in case of a disabling illness or accident. Unfortunately, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), which controls most of these policies, grants the insurance companies providing this insurance coverage too much discretion, and many disabled individuals are denied coverage or are unfairly terminated from coverage. At Andalman & Flynn, we fight aggressively to build the administrative record necessary to win your claim. That includes working with family members, doctors, employers and vocational experts. When necessary, we will fight your case in Federal Court. Andalman & Flynn attorneys are here to help you through this crisis.

Maryland Teacher and State Disability Retirement

We assist Maryland State workers and teachers throughout the State with applications for disability retirement and accidental disability retirement, from the initial filings, through the administrative appeals process, and in Court. We also assist State employees with other employment disputes, such as reasonable accommodation, discrimination claims, and Family and Medical Leave Act claims, among others.

Employment Law

As the job landscape continues to re-define itself, it's important that basic rights and protections afforded to workers don't get overlooked by employers whose only focus is the bottom line. The employment law attorneys at Andalman & Flynn are passionate about representing employees in Maryland and the District of Columbia in legal disputes arising from infringement of their rights on the job. In wage and salary disputes, as well as cases of employee discrimination, workplace harassment and unlawful termination, we will stand up for your rights while guiding you through the legal process. We can also represent you in disputes involving ERISA and the Family and Medical Leave Act, in addition to workers' compensation claims in the District of Columbia.
