WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

"Our family was distraught and bewildered when our son was falsely accused of rape and found responsible by his college just before he was set to graduate. We were told by many that these decisions are impossible to overturn and we had to face a behemoth private university with high-priced lawyers in court to reverse the University's decision. Chris pulled a rabbit out of a hat. While facing a judge we were told had a reputation for "protecting young women," Chris was able to show the fact that the accuser's story was false and the university's behavior unfair, using expert witnesses and doing thorough research about the events of that night to show that the accuser had fabricated much of her story. Faced with the facts, the judge found in our son's favor, rebuked the university for failing to fact-find and verify simple facts, and the university was ordered to pay most of our legal expenses. This was one of the scariest moments of my life and if it were not for Chris and his thorough research and keen legal mind, it could have turned out very differently. Chris and Justin gave my son his life back. If you are facing a false Title IX accusation, do not use anyone else."

"Recently, our family’s life was upended by untrue and exaggerated claims made against our son. Based on his character and his description of the events, we initially expected that his college would treat him fairly and work objectively and quickly through an understandable process.

 

Before too long, we discovered the opposite. We were frustrated and upset, and we began searching for someone who would listen to his story and fight to help him receive a fair hearing. From the moment that we engaged Justin, our confidence in a good outcome grew. And, we will never be able to say thanks enough to Justin for all that he did to help our son’s life return to normal!"

"Throughout the past four years, Chris Muha has consistently provided me with calm, insightful, and reliable assistance during complex multi-party civil lawsuits involving both private and federal government parties. I have been impressed with his ability to quickly grasp nuanced, technical facts that can significantly influence arguments. His robust skills in conducting in-depth

research and analysis, particularly regarding statutory intent and interpretation, have proven invaluable.


Additionally, Chris is an impeccable legal writer. His opinions are highly regarded by other attorneys, especially during the challenging task of reconciling the views of multiple parties with competing interests into a cohesive court brief or oral argument.


What truly sets Chris apart from other attorneys is his empathy. He understands how legal matters impact my personal life, making our collaboration feel like a partnership in facing adversity rather than a mere transactional relationship. His unique combination of expertise and compassion makes him an invaluable asset in navigating the complexities of the legal landscape.

"Justin and his team jumped into an urgent situation and brought calm, clarity and a clear plan of action that got excellent results. They went above and beyond, gathering testimony to support my son’s case, finding seasoned local counsel, and giving us the benefit of his years of successfully counseling young adults who find themselves in difficult circumstances. Needless to say, I will never forget the help Justin and his team provided. My son was cleared and his record remains pristine. I recommend this firm without reservation."


- Mother of a Son Facing Serious Criminal and Title IX Exposure

"When my son was charged with a Title IX violation, Kim provided him with a vigorous defense. Her knowledge of the law, university procedures, and, especially, university bureaucracy, made all the difference. She knew what pressure needed to be applied when and to whom. Her ability to think and act outside the box was impressive, and she communicated what she was doing and why she was doing it every step of the way.


I would recommend Kim to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. We would never have been able to achieve the same result without her."

"A white-collar criminal defense attorney is a different breed of cat, for good reason. They are your only shield against an all-powerful adversary—the government. Unlike civil litigation, you can’t afford just a “process manager” in your corner, you need a fighter, plain and simple. I found Justin Dillon to be very smart, an empathetic partner, and a dogged advocate for my values, my rights and my innocence. He was both creative and hard-nosed, a legal Energizer-Bunny who surely impressed prosecutors with his tenacity and his toughness. In other words, a fighter."


- Former Client in Federal Criminal Defense Matter in Washington, DC

"It has been 7 years since Chris Muha represented my son in a Title IX case at a public honors college on the east coast. Life is good for both him and us now, and a lot of that is due to Chris’s tireless efforts on his behalf.

 

Our son was initially expelled, but Chris filed an action in Maryland state courts, and the judge decided that there were several violations of due process. He ordered the school to conduct a second investigation and hearing. The school vindictively expelled him again, and Chris went back to court and proved the school had committed fraud. The school agreed to settle the case on very favorable terms that restored our son’s name at the school. We will always appreciate all that Chris did for our family over those 2+ years."

"I thought my life and academic career were over when I was falsely accused of saying something I never actually said.


Justin and his firm came in and immediately started making a difference. From the very first consultation, Justin was thorough, compassionate, and highly professional. His expertise in handling sensitive matters gave me the confidence to trust him with my case.


Thanks to his diligent work, the charges were dismissed without a hearing, and my record is clean. I am forever grateful for his dedication and would recommend him and his firm to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation."

"I remember instantly feeling the connection with Justin within moments of being on the phone. He immediately grasped the issues and homed in on the relevant points. Whereas my first attorney had told me to not say anything or engage in an interview, after hearing my story, he thought that was crucial. Getting the chance to share my side of the story turned out to be a crucial positive…. What also helped was that Justin was an excellent cross examiner, who focused on the key issues [during the subsequent hearing] with powerful questions and incisive analysis. In particular, he offered one of the most damning cross examinations of a colleague of mine that I have seen. His questions showed for all to see that [the complainant] had no grounds to make the assertions she did. The impact showed up in how the panel evaluated her testimony, basically dismissing it."

"Our son was eventually vindicated after the school that kicked him out on a Title IX violation conceded that the charge was illogical and outlandish and paid us a healthy settlement. But we didn’t know any of that a few years earlier when our son called from the airport to tell us he was coming home — out of the blue and in the middle of the semester. Litigation by definition involves a lot of uncertainty, so we felt lucky to find Chris and Justin, whose legal acumen was matched by a calm and steady presence. But there was also a sense that they felt as aggrieved as we did at the entire episode, and put their hearts as well as their minds into their representation. Chris’ brief writing and courtroom argument made clear how fallacious the accusation was, at which point the school made a settlement offer and withdrew the Title IX charge."
