I got into a really bad car accident and had no clue what to do. Luckily I called Portner & Shure. Thanks to them I did not have to experience the stress of talking to the insurance company's, or the hassle of gathering additional information about my case. Portner & Shure did it all. They handled all of my medical bills, and even provided a convenient chiropractor that was amazing and made me feel like myself again. They also offered a settlement that I was very pleased with.The staff were friendly and respectful. My questions were answered promptly and in great detail. I felt like I was in good hands throughout the entire process Portner & Shure is top notch. They exceeded my expectations. I recommend this law firm to anyone who refuse to settle for less.. Thanks again Portner & Shure for making this tragic experience a stress-free process and providing a satisfying result.

Pam Brown was the paralegal that was handling my case. She was wonderful. She was always pleasant to speak with on the phone and she always kept me updated on my case. I think her professionalism is a testament to the entire team of Portner and Shure. Thank you guys for everything. Jun Jie Liu

Anne Arundel County
The Circuit Court of Anne Arundel County is located in Annapolis, MD. Annapolis is not only the state’s capital, but was also the nation’s capital for a brief period after the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783. Today, Annapolis is known for being the home of the United States Naval Academy.
While Annapolis is certainly a tourist attraction and a city steeped in history, it currently boasts a population of just 36,408 inhabitants. That number is a small percentage of the half million people that populate Anne Arundel County. Cities including Arnold, Crofton, Crownsville, Fort Meade, Jessup, Linthicum, Odenton, Parole, Pasadena, Severn and Severna Park, have recently emerged as population centers within county borders. Anne Arundel County has continually rated among the fastest growing counties in the state of Maryland. The trend toward growth has only increased in recent years with the construction of Arundel Mills Mall and the expansion of the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. Of course, with an increase in growth and traffic comes an increase in car accidents, and the attorneys at Portner & Shure are well equipped to handle the needs of auto accident victims in the Anne Arundel County area.
Anne Arundel County’s track record for Plaintiff’s jury verdicts can be classified as solid, but not spectacular. According to Westlaw, a total of nine (9) jury verdicts have eclipsed the $100,000 barrier since January 1, 2008. While that number may seem small compared to the 36 verdicts exceeding $100,000 in Prince George’s County and 45 verdicts exceeding $100,000 in Baltimore City over the same time frame, it is still greater than the six (6) verdicts over $100,000 in Baltimore County, which has approximately 280,000 more inhabitants than Anne Arundel County.

The largest verdict in Anne Arundel County since the beginning of 2008 was rendered in Howard v. Shulman. In Howard, a man named Robert Howard was struck by a cement truck while standing in the shoulder lane outside of his car on Route 295. The jury found that Shulman, the driver of the cement truck, was negligent and rendered a verdict of $1,953,776.74, with approximately $1.85 million awarded in non-economic damages. The Court later reduced the award in this case to $740,776.72 in compliance with Maryland’s statutory cap on non-economic damages.
The most noteworthy aspect of the Anne Arundel County court system is the persistence in which the Court prods the parties to reach a settlement. Typically, an Anne Arundel County judge will begin encouraging the parties to settle as early as the scheduling conference. Court ordered mediation with the aim of achieving consensus on settlement is also not uncommon as a case proceeds toward trial. If a settlement can’t be reached, the parties will proceed through the pre-trial stage to trial, and eventually a verdict will be rendered.
