Circuit Court

In addition to serious criminal cases, Circuit Courts handle a variety of major civil cases such as juvenile and other family law issues including divorce, custody, and child support. Cases that make it to the Circuit Court have often been appealed from lower Maryland Courts.

District Court

The District Court handles civil cases, such as landlord-tenant cases and replevin actions, but it does not conduct jury trials. However, the District Court has exclusive jurisdiction in claims of or under $5,000, and concurrent jurisdiction with the Circuit Courts in claims for amounts over $5,000 but less than $30,000.

Collaborative Law

Collaborative Law, as opposed to traditional litigation, is an alternative dispute resolution process that involves the parties and lawyers agreeing to solve the conflict via cooperative negotiations. These arrangements occur outside of the court on an informal basis. Yet, when complete, the resulting order has the same standing as if the matter was tried before a court or other trier of fact.

Mediation

Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution wherein both parties meet with a neutral mediator to settle the case. However, the parties are not bound to the mediation.

Adoption

The process of adoption and the requirements it involves are immensely complex. For example, in Maryland, a legal adoption process does not necessarily grant a foreign-born child permanent resident or citizen status. A lawyer can assist with public, private, and independent adoptions.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence or abuse can happen to anyone, regardless of who or where they are. Lawyers involved in these cases protect and represent victims (or sometimes, perpetrators), and can also connect them to additional resources that can help them. Under Maryland Law, domestic violence is violence or abuse that occurs between family or household members, including assault, child abuse and abuse of a vulnerable adult, rape and other sex crimes, false imprisonment, stalking, and causing serious bodily harm or placing the victim in imminent fear of serious bodily harm. Domestic violence or abuse can happen to anyone, male or female, old or young, and regardless of who or where they live. As lawyers, we protect and represent victims, and we can also connect you to other available resources and services. Visit our Forms & Resources page for additional information.

Paternity

Any doubts or concerns about paternity can be easily determined with a genetic test. If it is confirmed that you have a child outside of your marriage, for example, a lawyer can help you understand and work through your rights as the child(ren)’s father.

Guardianship

When a person is unable to take care of their personal or financial needs because of age, disease, or disability, the court may appoint a guardian. Court-appointed guardians protect our most vulnerable individuals. There are many resources available including an orientation program, training programs, and much more.
