About

The Law Offices of Stuart L. Plotnick, LLC, based in Rockville, Maryland, is now managed by Goldberg Finnegan Cannon, LLC, and continues its long-standing commitment to representing injury victims throughout Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Northern Virginia. The firm handles a comprehensive range of personal injury matters, including car accidents, truck and motorcycle accidents, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, slip and fall injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and other serious injury cases.

Founding attorney Stuart L. Plotnick brought a distinctive perspective to personal injury practice. For over a decade before establishing the firm, he worked as a lead trial and managing attorney for two of the country's largest insurance companies, where he defended claims and advised on how insurers evaluate and manage injury cases. This background gave him direct insight into insurance company tactics and decision-making processes—knowledge he applied on behalf of injured clients for more than 25 years as a trial attorney. During his career, Plotnick earned the highest rating from Martindale-Hubbell and recognition as a Super Lawyer. He retired in 2024, entrusting Goldberg Finnegan Cannon, LLC to manage the firm and continue his legacy.

The firm's approach centers on reducing the burden that accident victims face during recovery. After an injury, clients typically confront medical bills, lost wages, therapy appointments, pain and suffering, and the stress of managing work, family, and daily responsibilities—often with support from loved ones stretched thin. The firm takes on the investigative and administrative demands, gathering necessary information, managing direct communication with insurance companies and claims personnel, and handling the paperwork and negotiations that can otherwise compound a client's stress.

A core principle of the practice is recognizing that insurance companies often treat claimants as numbers affecting their bottom line. Insurers may pressure injured people to accept minimal settlements or deny responsibility entirely. Having experienced legal representation shields clients from that pressure and positions the firm to advocate more effectively for fair compensation.

The team serving the firm today continues Plotnick's approach, drawing on deep knowledge of insurance operations and leveraging that expertise to protect clients and pursue maximum recovery. The firm serves injury victims throughout Rockville and surrounding Maryland counties, as well as the greater Washington D.C. and Northern Virginia regions. Initial consultations are offered at no cost.
