The Law Office of Paul Benkert is located in Rockville, Maryland. We represent clients in Maryland and in the Washington D.C. metro area.

With over 20 years of experience in the state and federal courts of Maryland, as well as in the courts of Washington, D.C., attorney, Paul Benkert is an accomplished litigator. He currently has chosen to focus his practice, however, on appellate advocacy. He handles both civil and criminal appeals in state and federal courts.

Because he spent 10 years as a criminal prosecutor, and has another 10 years of experience as a litigator in business and civil matters, Mr. Benkert possesses a unique experience with a variety of subject matters which adds critical insight to his analysis, research, and arguments. His long experience as both a criminal and civil litigator means that the issues he handles in the appeals courts aren't merely theoretical to him; he has seen and experienced the same things the trial attorney and the client experienced in the courtroom. That crucial first-hand experience can make all the difference when crafting arguments for the appellate court.

His wide-ranging experience includes having handled matters in the following areas:
