Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC) Claims

Business Litigation

Home Improvement is an industry that often leaves consumers disappointed, financially drained, or worse: injured. Some home improvement “contractors” are not actual licensed contractors and perform shoddy work that is not safe or up to state codes. It is because of scenarios like this one that Maryland requires all home improvement projects to be completed by a Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC) approved and licensed contractor.

Maryland Home Improvement Law defines “home improvement” as the addition to or alteration, conversion, improvement, modernization, remodeling, repair, or replacement of a building or part of a building that is used or designed to be used as a residence or dwelling place or a structure adjacent to that building; or an improvement to land adjacent to the building.

The MHIC licenses and regulates home improvement contractors, subcontractors, salespersons and the contracts that bind them to their customers. The commission investigates complaints by homeowners, awards monetary damages against licensed contractors, and prosecutes violators of the home improvement law and regulations.

MHIC litigation may result in a suit filed in court or a litigant may have to go through the Maryland Home Improvement Commission in order to achieve the necessary relief sought. At Nowicki & Associates our attorneys are well seasoned in either avenue your MHIC litigation may take or necessitate.

I went to Freundlich & Littman because my family's house was destroyed by a construction company that was doing construction nextdoor. They refused to pay me. Austin and the lawyers at this firm fought for me and got me $325,000 on my case. As I understand it, this was over 3xs the zillow estimate property value of my house. Their hard work and refusal to backdown and willingness to fight, is what got us here. I highly recommend them!

Austin thoroughly spent a few weeks evaluating whether I had a case or not and told me which one out of the affected moreso had a case. He told me the risks of getting into a case and the repercussions legally for me. He also told me about a path forward in the case for me. He respects his business and his clients and it’s a good balance. He is super approachable as well. He is very realistic but not in a cruel way.

Greg was very knowledgeable and helpful through one of the most difficult encounters I’ve dealt with. I can’t imagine trusting any other law firm with my case. Because of Greg, I’ve had the best outcome and received closure. He kept me updated through the whole process and explained every legal term and every step we had to take. I can’t thank him enough!!

They were very transparent in all aspects and were well prepared for every interaction. In addition, Jonathan and Gregory were very empathetic to my situation as I was going through an exceedingly difficult period.All in all, I was incredibly pleased with Freundlich & Littman, LLC.

I was recommended to Greg Littman by a good friend and could not be happier with his services. Greg deserves a million stars for what he does. He is very responsive, offers a breadth of knowledge, and guidance on any questions you may have. His professionalism and poise is well beyond any attorney around. I recommend Greg and any of his partners to anyone who is in need of legal counsel. Do not hesitate to call these superstars. Thank you a million, Greg and colleagues.

Greg is as good as they come. He was professional, efficient, and knowledgable. Simply put, Greg is a rockstar. This was a superb experience, through and through. I will most certainly be using Greg again in the future. If you are looking for the best in the business, look no further.

I have known Greg for a number of years, so it was only natural that I contacted him after I was in a car accident. Unfortunately, I was in two previous fender benders, which made this case difficult. However, Greg and his team pushed my case forward without hesitation, getting the best experts and ensured accuracy/efficiency each step of the way. They were able to get my case resolved quickly and far exceeded any expectations I had. Not only that, they were able to work to get my medical liens reduced or waived. Special thanks to Yanice for working with me to get all of my records, bills and reductions! Thanks to you all at Freundlich & Littman

I was referred by another attorney to this practice and I couldn't be happier! Jonathan Rosenau and Helaida Perez worked diligently on my personal injury case from the first day through the settlement. Greg Littman was extremely helpful and encouraging. At every turn, even when news seemed not great, my team kept me well advised so I knew what to expect, especially for deposition and medical exams. The team even let me use their conference room for a whole day to finish my interrogatories. Great folks, very clear and easy to understand. Towards the end of settlement negotiations the insurance company played hardball...yet Jon and Greg worked wonders-5 times more than expected, PLUS Jon reduced my medical lien to under 1% of the original amount! I've already recommended this firm to one friend, and will certainly continue to do so. Thank you for your amazing work!

The legal services l received from Mr. Jonathan Rosenau and his superb Support Staff more than exceeded my expectations!!!The negotiating with the insurance companies, the processing of the paperwork and the actual turnaround time for the proceeds of the settlement to be released was extremely expedient -QUICK!!!I received more money than actually quoted. I am most happy to recommend this expert law firm to anyone needing litigation assistance from a polished law firm!!(and I was not asked but volunteered this comment)

I have been using this firm for over eight years and I have to say it’s one of the best law firms that I have been in contact with. Greg and Austin handle all of my business contracts and disputes. I couldn’t ask for a better attorney representing me and on my side! They are very detailed oriented and thorough with their contracts and advice. If you’re looking for an efficient and thorough law firm is the place! 5 stars!

Extremely professional, prompt and helpful. Greg and his team assisted me with legal contracts and guidance for my small business. Greg also took the time to explain his suggestions, so I would have a better understanding overall. Their thoroughness is unparalleled and I could not be more happy with their services. You certainly will not be disappointed should you seek their assistance!

I submitted a inquiry through their company website about a landlord tenant issue I’m currently facing. The next morning David responsed via phone. He was so nice and eased some of my worry over the phone. I may have a long way to go with this Situation, but if it comes down to me needing representation I will personally reach out to Attorney David immediately. I also appreciate the young woman who answered the phone, she was also familiar with my inquiry and very eager to Help. They both were the light I needed in this unfortunate circumstance. THANK YOU SO MUCH For the kindness you showed me.

Austin and his team are truly LIFESAVERS! They stood up for me when I needed it the most. Austin took the time to keep me informed and answer all of my questions with professionalism and care. In what seemed like no time at all they got us answers and restored our sense of security. I would absolutely recommend Freundlich and Littman to anyone who needs a strong voice to fight for them.

Greg was easy to work with and efficient. Before I walked in, he had everything pulled up for me to read and explained all the information clearly throughout the process. Definitely will reined him to anyone with a legal issue.

Using F and L was the best decision I made after a pretty traumatic accident. Jonathan Rosenau was there for me every single step of my journey. He responded quickly, was professional, but also personable. He not only advise me what should be done but guided me through a very difficult time. He didn’t hesitate to ensure that my health was given top priority while he took on all the details. I also don’t doubt that he can push to ensure things get done when needed and is extremely knowledgeable in doing so.
