David T Lampton Law Office

Originally from Suffolk, Virginia, Mr. Lampton graduated from the University of Virginia in 1997 with a bachelor's degree in Anthropology.
After serving as a legal assistant at Arnold & Porter in Washington, DC from 1999-2001, Mr. Lampton attended Washington & Lee University School of Law, where he received the Alexander M. and Rose S. Harman Memorial Academic Scholarship, served as staffwriter on the Washington & Lee Law Review, and received his Juris Doctor in 2004.
After practicing at respected larger law firms in downtown Baltimore for about 8 years, Mr. Lampton founded The Law Office of David T. Lampton, P.C. in June of 2013.

After being hired by and representing insurance companies for a number of years, Mr. Lampton has substantial experience litigating property claims and coverage issues from the insurance company's point of view.
No longer representing insurance companies to defend against claims, Mr. Lampton now provides advice and representation to individuals and businesses for almost any type of insurance policy and claims made thereunder.
Mr. Lampton has a particular interest in litigating first-party bad faith cases, both for property claims in which the insurance company has not lived up to its responsibilities, as well as claims under uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage where the carriers refused to pay their insured.

Mr. Lampton has represented national financial institutions, regional, and smaller community and local banks in connection with distressed commercial loans.
Mr. Lampton has substantial experience confessing judgment in Maryland and Virginia courts, foreclosing on real property in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia, filing replevins as to financed vehicles or equipment, as well as protecting and enforcing the lender client's post-judgment rights through garnishments of property, garnishments of wages and sheriff's sales.

When deciding which lawyer to hire for a litigation matter, you have many choices.
Regardless of whom you choose, it is very important that you hire an attorney who is not afraid to go to Court to try the case.
Many lawyers rarely try cases, and a substantial number have never tried a single case.
While most cases do ultimately settle prior to trial, in order to obtain the best settlement value for a client, the lawyer needs to present a "credible threat" of the trial actually taking place in order for the defense and/or insurance company handling the defense to make their best offer.

As a solo practitioner who has been trained at some of the top Baltimore firms, Mr. Lampton is able to provide a top quality product and attention to detail along with the service and reasonable rates of a small firm with significantly less overhead.
Additionally, if Mr. Lampton is unable or unwilling to take your case, he will refer you to a lawyer who may better assist you, at no charge.
For medical malpractice, auto accident, and other personal injury cases, Mr. Lampton will work on contingency, which means he will take a percentage of the total recovery, and will not be paid unless he successfully negotiates a settlement or wins at trial.
