I am Michael S. Rothman, a Rockville business law lawyer representing small businesses and corporations throughout Maryland and Washington D.C. in all types of business litigation. Whether you are being sued for breach of contract, or you wish to bring an action against another party, I have the experience and the aggressive attitude to protect and promote your interests of your business.

Contact my office today to schedule a free initial consultation to discuss you commercial litigation concerns.

The Law Office of Michael S. Rothman handles a wide variety of commercial litigation issues for clients. My approach to trial comes from my experience as a litigator at a large, Washington, D.C. law firm. Prior to opening my own law office, I worked with such a firm, litigating cases in state and federal court around the metropolitan area. These cases ranged in size from contract disputes involving millions of dollars to routine disputes among businesses. Now, I have brought that same aggressive and thorough style to my office, without the impersonal experience you may have associated with a large firm.

My commercial litigation practice handles all types of disputes and issues:

• Breach of contract
• Construction litigation
• Internet contracts and transactions
• Dissolutions and partnership "break-ups"
• Landlord / tenant dispute
• Negotiation, arbitration and mediation
• Investment fraud
• Internet law and related intellectual property issues

I take a client-focused approach to business litigation, working closely with clients to define goals, as well as to devise and alter strategy through constant interaction. Although I have extensive trial experience, I take a common-sense approach. If the opposing counsel suggests a settlement discussion, I will pursue that avenue first. And I will only recommend going to trial if it is cost-effective to do so. I may recommend arbitration or mediation as an alternative, based on our clients best interests.

Contact the Law Office of Michael S. Rothman today if you are involved in a contract dispute with a vendor, customer or contractor, if an employee has filed a civil complaint against you, or if your business needs to bring an action regarding services rendered or failure to pay. I offer free initial consultations, with evening appointments available.
