Our Story
Our firm began on January 1, 1994, as Stephen A. Shechtel, Esq., attorney at law. In April 1994 the firm was incorporated as Stephen A. Shechtel, P.A. At that time, the firm’s focus was civil litigation and bankruptcy. In 1995 the firm grew with the addition of additional attorneys to include family law, personal injury, and administrative law. By 1997, the firm had continued its growth and expanded into estate planning, probate, and traffic/criminal law. In 2001, the firm became Shechtel and Sorrell.
In 2005, Mr. Sorrell retired from the practice. Shechtel and Associates, P.A. was then formed.
Shechtel and Associates, P.A., the focus is in the areas of family law, child advocacy, domestic violence, civil litigation, personal injury, corporate law (formation, merger, acquisition), estate and tax planning, probate, and the legal needs of small businesses. Operating in Rockville, Maryland, Shechtel and Associates, P.A. enjoys a great reputation in all courts where it has litigated cases.

For over twenty years, we have offered legal representation to our clients that are professional, ethical, high quality and effective, all at affordable rates. We built our practice based on the aggressive representation of our client’s interests. Perhaps our values and philosophy are why we continue to represent clients who first retained us in 1994.
We provide a “team spirit” approach to your legal needs that provides you with the greatest attention possible in the most cost-efficient manner possible. Our philosophy is to provide you with the highest quality legal representation possible based upon your needs and budgetary constraints. We are also brutally honest. We do not encourage our clients to engage in litigation for the sake of litigation. That is not our style. We let you know up front whether your case has merit. We will provide you with an honest evaluation as to whether your case is worth the investment of the time and energy that it is going to take to achieve your objectives.
Our team spirit is also unique in that we do not hesitate to join with other attorneys who have a particular expertise that is specific to your case or needs. When you retain Shechtel and Associates, P.A., do not be surprised when we suggest to you that you allow us to retain the services of an attorney from outside our firm to assist. That is just one of the many reasons why we get results for you… just read the endorsements from our clients!
– Our Philosophy
Many of our clients tell us that we are unique because we focus on them as individuals. When you first meet with us, we will seek to find out more about you than just your immediate legal needs or situation. We ask questions that you may not expect from a lawyer. We want to learn about you, your needs, your family’s needs, and what it is going to take to put your mind at ease. Our goal is to find for you a sustainable solution to your legal problem.
We will help you to evaluate your entire situation, not just the immediate problem. Think of it as a forest versus trees approach. We work with you to focus on how to make your legal problems go away, for as long as possible, with solutions that are designed to prevent you from having to return to court over and over again. We work with our clients to solve their legal needs for the lowest possible cost in both monetary and emotional terms.
