Our Most Important Advice

The information on this site is general legal information and should not be considered legal advice which pertains to your specific situation. Effective legal advice depends on understanding the unique facts of your particular situation, and applying the law to these facts. Please don’t think that reading this information makes you a lawyer. This information is no substitute for hiring an attorney.

The act of reading or using this information does not constitute an attorney-client relationship between yourself and this firm. The only way to form that relationship is to meet with an attorney and sign a retainer agreement. Until then, no attorney-client relationship exists.

We hope the information on this site helps you understand your legal problem. We ultimately hope you will hire our firm to represent you. If you do not, we strongly encourage you to seek another lawyer for advice in any legal issue you encounter. If you represent yourself in any serious legal matter, you are playing with fire. And you could easily make your situation much worse. At the very least, seek a meeting with a lawyer for a consultation. Most attorneys charge a small consultation fee for meeting with them to discuss your legal problem and seek advice. That is money well spent.

We practice in Maryland, and this information is based on Maryland law. The free legal information on this site strictly pertains to Maryland. If you are not in Maryland, stop now. Your state’s law is probably different. See a lawyer familiar with your state’s law.
