Firm Overview: Our Team

A core team of eight dedicated attorneys work hard to achieve successful resolutions for our clients.  In addition to the lawyers on staff, we have formed co-operative relationships with other lawyers to maximize the effectiveness and range of representation we provide. Our broad spectrum approach makes us well suited to handle the variety of legal issues that occur for people every day.

Our History

Arthur Alperstein founded the firm in 1978 with his partner, former Judge A. Jerome Diener (1922-1984) and has practiced law for more than 47 years.  Mr. Alperstein has earned countless accolades and awards for his practice, including the highest possible Martindale Hubbell rating. 

Mr. Alperstein’s vision for the firm was that it would be a family firm, servicing the community at large. Mr. Alperstein sought to stay small enough to offer personalized representation, but grow large enough to have the resources to take on tougher cases and a larger caseload without sacrificing that personal touch.  His vision has grown under his careful management to the solid entity that Alperstein & Diener is today.  With patience and wisdom Mr. Alperstein has nurtured this firm from a two-office rental space off of Calvert Street to a modern office suite on Charles Street in Baltimore.  Click here for directions to our office.

As a former prosecutor and Delegate in the Maryland House of Delegates, Mr. Alperstein knows that some cases are meant to be won at trial, and others are meant to be negotiated.  The trick is to have the skills to do both and the wisdom to pick the correct course.  Throughout the years, Mr. Alperstein has sought out attorneys who fit this tall order and has brought them into the firm.  All of the attorneys who work here have been hand selected for their skills in trial, their ability to negotiate, and their wisdom to recognize the correct tool for the job at hand.
