Our Litigation Approach

Focused Preparation, Practical Negotiation, Real Trial Readiness

We begin with a candid assessment of liability and damages. We preserve key evidence and send targeted demands when early resolution is possible. If a lawsuit is warranted, we file in the appropriate Maryland court, pursue efficient discovery, and prepare for mediation or trial. Clients receive timelines they can rely on and advocacy they can trust throughout Maryland, from Annapolis to Baltimore City.

Contract Review & Drafting

Prevent Disputes with Clear, Workable Agreements

Strong contracts reduce risk and expense. We review and draft agreements for businesses and individuals-clarifying deadlines, payment terms, warranties, and dispute clauses-so expectations are clear before issues arise.

Civil Litigation FAQs

Straight Answers for Maryland Lawsuits

  • How long does a civil case take?

    Anywhere from several months to a couple of years depending on complexity, court schedules, and whether the case settles or goes to trial.

  • Will my case settle out of court?

    Many do. We negotiate when it serves your interests and keep trial preparation on track so you're ready either way.

  • What will it cost?

    Fee structures vary by matter-some consumer or damages claims may allow contingency, others are hourly. We discuss options upfront and control costs with focused discovery.

  • Can I sue a city or county?

    Often possible, but strict notice rules and immunities apply. Act promptly so deadlines aren't missed.

  • What if I'm being sued?

    Respond quickly-deadlines are short. We defend, seek dismissal if appropriate, and explore settlement when it makes sense.
