Jay is a great person and attorney. His demeanor and charisma exudes confidence and professionalism, which is important when dealing with delicate professional situations. I highly recommend this firm.

Really enjoyed working with Jay. Honestly it was like working with a " nice" family member. He truly had my best interest. He was smart and intelligent and explained the entire process from beginning to end. There were no surprises. I was pleased with the results. I recommend Mr. Stafford, if you are needing help with any employment issues. Actually the entire staff was extremely professional. Hopefully, I will never need legal services for employment again but if the situation arises. I am going with the best. And that's Jay Stafford.

I decided to shop in Stafford Jewelers in Kenwood Mall for the first time this week. My experience was amazing!! The manger(Joe Helm) made me feel comfortable and did not try to pressure me into a huge jeweler purchase or something I did not need. High five too one of the BEST customer service managers...

I contacted the law firm concerning issues with a job that i used to work at. I started to receive calls and e-mails from a lady name Camey . I would call and e-mail her back. She never gave me a exact time so we can speak.I was having a problem getting in touch with her. I sent her a e-mail asking her what would be a good time to call her.She never responded to my e-mail.I stop contacting her.I will not deal with this law firm again. I will find another law firm or handle my issues on my own.
This is a update on the owner response to my review. The same day the owner response to my review Ms.Turpin contacted me.She contacted me a few minutes before the owner responded to my review. She stated that she called me. Every time she contacted me she never gave me a good time to call her so we can speak. In the last e-mail i sent her i asked her what day and time she would be available to talk. She never responded to my e-mail. The only reason she called me again is because i put a bad review on -line about the law firm.The owner said me and her exchanged e-mail. That never did happen. She got my e-mail address when i fill out the form on the law firm website for a consultation. The only questions she answer was about whether the law firm offer a free consultation and do the law firm handle all cases.I asked Ms.Turpin by e-mail several times does the law firm handle all cases before she gave me a answer. I will get help from another law firm or handle my own issue by myself.

Reactive and dependable

I found Mr. Stafford doing a google search. I read some reviews. I was almost hesitant reading one not so good review but something told me to contact him. He returned my call right away. I was able to meet with me right away to discuss my case. I was made to feel at ease. Especially dealing with the stress that I had been dealing with. From that point on he stayed on my case and returned all calls/ emails right away. I was completely shocked at how fast he got me a better settlement than I expected. I’m happy I listen to that voice inside telling me to contact this Law Firm. I can’t believe how fast and professional this Law Firm was.

When I first contacted Mr. Stafford’s office I was surprised at how quickly he returned my call. After our initial meeting Mr. Stafford gave me a realistic picture of the likely outcome of my matter and I was glad I came to him. He quickly went to work on my matter and I am satisfied with the result.

Mr. Stafford was very professional in the way he handled my matter. He is very articulate and he has a good grasp of the law.

I will recommend him to other people.

Fortunately, most people rarely need an employment lawyer? If you can’t get a reference from someone you know who has had an employment dispute, or from another lawyer, how do you choose from so many options on the Internet?

Working with Mr. Stafford, I found him organized, business-like and professional, and at the same time impressively personable, understanding and concerned about my well-being and interests. He listened intently to my recitation of the case facts and quickly saw the big picture.

In pursuing my case, Mr. Stafford worked hard and conscientiously, with intelligence, depth, and professionalism. At all times he exhibited exceeding care, understanding, and concern for my interests and our process. I found him easy to talk to and an ideal partner to balance out my personalization of the situation.

In the end, Mr. Stafford’s representation resulted in a negotiation that was delegated and managed efficiently; and in an improved agreement that paid careful attention to all the details.

My outcomes were better than what I could have done on my own, and were about as well as I could have done against a determined adversary.

I would recommend Jamal Stafford without reservation to handle your legal matters.

My experience with J.W. Stafford, Jamaal and staff was excellent on all fronts. The firm upheld the highest level of professionalism while providing expedited attention given my circumstances. After our initial phone conversation, the rest was streamlined. The end result of my case was the best possible outcome. I grateful for J.W. Stafford for helping me and would recommend the firm to all.

MR.STAFFORD REPRESENTED ME IN A POTENTIAL CAREER ENDING SITUATION. MR STAFFORD AND HIS FIRM WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND EXTREMELY CURTIOUS HIS KNOWLEDGE OF EMPLOYMENT LAW WAS EXCEPTIONAL HIS PROMPT Response to my questions helped ease my fears and anxiety. I DON'T BELIEVE YOU CAN FIND A MORE PREPARED ATTORNEY IN Baltimore .I highly recommend MR STAFFORD services for any EMPLOYMENT issues.

First and foremost this is the only Attorny I dealt with that ever called me back and emailed me back .. we all know that lawyers are hard to get ahold of ! Not Jay! Always respectful , polite , and professional! I would use him in the future and recommend him .. he took my case very seriously and focused on the issues at hand .. Thank you for everything mr Stafford !

My first impression of Jamaal was that he was personable and caring. However, he soon began to send me a barrage of e-mails asking me to pay for my initial consultation. I was turned off by that. I had spoken to at least 5 different lawyers who said that I did not have a case. So naturally, I was skeptical. I then proceeded to ask him to disclose any additional fees or percentages up front. He evaded the answers to this question and instead just reassured me that he could write me a demand later. So I paid his initial consultation fee - $415. I had explicitly told him that it would be difficult to pay that fee if I didn't have somewhat of the case. At the consultation, I felt my case crumble before me. He explained a few things that made me realize the return of my investment could be possibly low and even zero. He also proceeded to tell me that he would write a demand letter for $650. He would also take a third of whatever I got back. I don't want to go into personal details, but this is not a case involving the return of even $5,000. When I went back home to think it over, I received a barrage of e-mails asking for me to pay my initial consultation which I had already paid for! I explained to him and he admitted the mistake, but I continued to receive them! I knew instantly that I had made a huge mistake. For a case like mine and especially considering my financial situation, he should have offered me a free initial consultation or disclose his fees up front so that I didn't have to waste $415. I came to Jamaal in hopes of getting help from being taken advantage of by someone. Instead, I also got taken advantage of by Jamaal. STAY AWAY. Maybe he is a good lawyer if you have a slam-dunk case and money to spare. But he will not care about your situation as a "whole." I'm out of $415 when my family needs it most. He's just out to make money.

Mr. Stafford provided exceptional service in my time of need. He was patient, reliable, and understanding of my situation. He is meticulous in his efforts to secure the best possible outcome for his client. He is an expert in his field. I highly recommend his services.

Mr. Stafford is an excellent attorney. He handled my case with respect, and professionalism. He worked with me financially and didn’t hesitate to offer a helping hand. I would hire Mr. Stafford again...and will definitely recommend him to anyone needing an attorney. Thank you so much Mr. Stafford!

If you are looking for a law firm that understands employment laws and advocates for your interest, look no further! I had consulted with another attorney previously who unfortunately lacked the knowledge and confidence to take my case. Thank God, after much research for a firm that specializes in Labor and employment issues, I found the J.W. Stafford Law Firm. Mr. Stafford is sharp, competent, confident, personable and very responsive. He was able to analyze my situation and come up with a strategy that yielded a positive outcome. I highly recommend this law-firm. Thank you Mr. Stafford, I am truly grateful!

Honestly, I don't even know why they called me back. They showed no interest whatsoever in helping me with my case. Don't waste your time.

Mr. Stafford worked very hard for me. Every step of the way he fully explained every option I could take and the risk vrs. possible reward. Even when it became obvious he would make less than initially thought, he never stopped working hard to get me everything he could. I felt all fees were reasonable for the amount of work he put in and never once felt he was giving less than 100% towards my case. I would use him again in a heartbeat (though I hope I never have to) and have already recommended him to family.

I love the professionalism and quick response that I receive. I recommend this law firm

First of all I will start with this lawyer is big mistake. I went with him because of the good reviews on Google but my experience was completely different.
I walk in to his office explain that I'm a victim of race,gender,culture, retaliation and disability discrimination first he tries to convince me that my case is strong and I tell him I want certain amount of settlement and he agrees then he gets to work I pay $300 and $1895 for retainers fees and finally the other party which I suspect he knows the other attorney because after the other attorney response he starts to change his tone telling me I have no case and I should just take whatever they offer which is nothing extra.
Finally he somehow persuaded me to sign the Non disclosure which I only agreed when the other party agreed to pay my attorneys fee but guess what he tell he that the attorneys fee is his 1/3 percent which I'm expecting he will refund the $1895 from the attorneys fee paid to his office but he goes on to say that the $1895 was a flat fee.
Anyway long story short he was a complete mistake and he is just trying to get a quick cash anything that involves any extra time for him he will just back off or convince you otherwise.
He can keep the $1895 along with my problems one thing guaranteed is that greed gets no one anywhere and it wont make me any richer and if he did anything that made this transaction go left it will never go well for him. I'm angry,upset and I know my family is affected by this since I'm the bread winner. But goodluck if you want him to be a good counsel for you. Find another lawyer immediately before you end up like me.

The consultation I received was well worth the investment. I contacted your law firm concerned about my rights as an employee. Your professionalism and knowledge helped me to feel at ease with my situation. I was able to negotiate with my employer and find common ground on which to move forward. Thank you so much for your assistance.

Working with Mr. Stafford was an experience that I can place high within the ethical radar. His expertise around my employment matter gave way for me and my family to finally have closure around an issue I was having for several years with my former employer and former attorney. His attention to detail garnered my attention and made the opposition cave and honor what was being asked of them. Further, Mr. Stafford’s immediate responses to my emails and calls made all the difference.It gives a type of peace of mind when you’re balancing any legal matter. He included me in every part of the process and he never neglected to inform me of any new ideas or changes, as we were moving forward together. Mr. Stafford’s office staff were also very professional and detailed. From the first phone call to his office to the conclusion of my legal matter, the staff were ready to take any messages and alert Mr. Stafford who made the effort to reach out to me within a reasonable time. Overall, if you’re looking for someone who knows how to play hard ball, has the savvy of a veteran, the straightforwardness of a coach, knows how to strategize, and execute, Mr. Stafford is the one to contact. My family and I are grateful for his service and would recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Stafford was compassionate and attentive to my case acting immediately when needed. I appreciate all that he did for me and would highly recommend him.

Jay is one of the most honest and ethical lawyers I have ever known or heard of. He represented me in a very tough and complicated case. He was absolutely brilliant. I am not going to go into detail about his performance in court. All I will say is that "Johnny Cochran cant hold a candle to Jay Stafford".

I was in search of an employment attorney whom I felt would be competent enough to take my case. I found the law firm of J.W Stafford during my search and decided to reach out for a consultation.

In my previous experience with a lawyer, I was left with the impression that lawyers were egotistical, abrasive, rude and uncaring.

Mr. Jamaal Stafford was the opposite of that. His professionalism, calm demeanor and compassion for my situation truly changed my preconceived idea about lawyers. Mr. Stafford provided me with realistic options and expectations. After deciding on the best option, Mr. Stafford got to work immediately. I never had to inquire for updates as Mr. Stafford readily provided them. At no point did I feel confused or was left in the dark. I felt reassured after each conversation as he would say after each interaction “No, thank you!”

I highly recommend the services of Mr. Jamaal Stafford to anyone in need of legal representation.

I reached out to this law firm after looking at some of the google reviews and looking at this lawyer’s LinkedIn. I thought he seems to stand for everything I am looking for against a wrongful termination and clear whistle blowing case. There was also some issues with the company not trying to pay me what I am owed. I know, I already have a very easy case if this was the only focus, meaning them not trying to pay me what I am owed, and that is something even I can handle. The thing is though that is far from the only case I have here, there is much more going on. The women I spoke to Camy just kept saying, you just want the pay your owed right, no that’s not just what I want, I want this company to be exposed, I want to be compensated for my wrongful termination and I want justice and them not to continue to do this to other people. Which probably like everyone else said would not make my case easy. Either way they said they would not even offer a consultation, after reading these reviews. I am counting that as a blessing.

Every time i've contacted Mr. Stafford's office regarding an employment matter, they've always took the time to listen and offer reasonable advice regarding whatever the situation might be.

Jamaal Stafford was a beacon of hope to my legal obstacle at a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. Not only was he able to defend me with a great outcome, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself. I’m eternally grateful for his service and I recommend Mr. Jamaal Stafford without reservation and will continue to request his service for any future needs.

I was recently represented by Mr. Stafford before the Maryland board of Physicians. The fact that I had to appear before the board to answer an erroneous charge was enough to throw me off balance initially. Mr. Stafford was able to navigate the process while at the same time putting me at ease. He was also able to present the facts in a compelling way resulting in complete exoneration and dismissal of the case. I will be forever grateful.

I’m profession staff.

Even though we got off to a rough start, Mr Stafford made a commitment to making things right and I truly appreciate his efforts. A simple communication issue that he was not aware of clouded my judgment of the truly compassionate and professional person that he is. I would recommend

Spent three weeks just trying to connect with the paralegal for an intake. Once a small interview and then two followup calls I received a call saying they couldn't help me with no reason as to why. But encouragement to seek other law firms....Weird.

I came to Jay with a non-compete issue with a previous employer in the federal contracting space that presented a whole host of challenges for myself and my family. I was invited to Baltimore where I met with Jay and discussed a strategy that provided me with the confidence that I would get through my particular situation. He is not a "yes" man and will give you the best legal opinion to help you achieve your goals while also limiting your exposure to unnecessary litigation.

Jay used his skills as an attorney to open a new line of communication with my previous employer who was both litigious and unapologetic about their restrictive noncompete clause. Rather than go to court, he helped me work with that employer to identify which opportunities they would be willing to grant me a waver for and which they would not. Many of the opportunities we discussed were ultimately allowed, enabling me to receive multiple job offers over the ensuing weeks and months. I'm happy to say I'm now employed with an excellent organization and have moved on to bigger and better things.

In short, Jay is a smart, well-tempered, and committed attorney who has the capacity and sincere passion to help those in need of representation when facing big challenges from prior or existing employers. If that is what you're after, then look no further.

Mr. Stafford is an excellent attorney. He handled my case with the upmost respect, expertise, understanding, and professionalism. His advice kept me grounded and focused on the strategies needed to win my case. I would hire Mr. Stafford again...and will definitely recommend him to anyone needing an attorney. Thank you so much Mr. Stafford!

Mr. Stafford is a pleasure to work with. We are very grateful to him for the excellent and tactful way he handled a tough situation, and particularly with the efficiency and speed with which it was executed. We would have no hesitation in using his services again or recommending him to acquaintances.

Mr. Stafford was recommended to me by a trusted source, and never have I been so grateful for this referral. My past legal experiences had not been as good, leaving me fearful of outcomes.
Mr. Stafford remained not only professional throughout his representation of me, but also extremely sensitive to what I had been through,. He reassured me several times about our stance in the case, and guided me into the best decisions possible when they needed to be made.
Mr. Stafford was fair and just, which is exactly what one hopes for in an attorney. He handled all rising issues in the best ways possible, and his choices and results were always good ones.
I would hire Mr. Stafford again in a heartbeat, and would encourage anyone seeking litigation to do the same.
