With over thirty years experience handling civil disputes, Ms. Potthast understands her clients’ need  for efficient and cost-effective dispute solutions.

Our goal is to assist our clients in achieving a prompt and fair resolution to litigation. Often, early case evaluation and assessment, coupled with practical advice and creative negotiation, can help to propel matters to closure without the need for the expense and disruption of prolonged litigation.

If trial cannot be avoided, we have the experience and tenacity to present our clients’ cases in Maryland State and Federal courts, before administrative law judges and arbitration panels.

We are active in the defense of civil litigation with primary emphasis on lead paint defense, insurance coverage disputes, toxic tort matters, liability claims, and appellate practice.
