You always have the right to represent yourself

You can terminate your current attorney as well.

Good luck which ever way you go.

A Maryland attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for your ordeal. Some questions go unanswered here, but you might have better chances of a response by including the "Real Estate" category. Given that time is of the essence here, and that... View More

A Maryland attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. You could repost and add Real Estate as a category. Some questions go unanswered, but attorneys who handle real estate closings would have insight into this. Good luck

I am sorry for your loss. It depends on the language of your lease. You would need to review the terms of your lease.

Real Property Code Section 8-212.2, provides in petinent part;

(b) [I]f a tenant under a residential lease meets the conditions set forth in subsection (c) of this section, the tenant's liability for rent under the lease may not exceed 2 months' rent after the date on which the... View More

You would use a general motion form. You should include any information as to why you did not show up in court, as well as any defense that you might have raised in the contract claim (i.e you didn't owe the money, you paid it already, etc.)

You will need a lawyer where the lawsuit is filed, but your lawyer in Maryland can probably coordinate that and try to get the case moved or dismissed and brought to you.

Check your local area for a legal clinic offering free landlord-tenant services in your area. I believe University of Maryland has one, but you might also check local bar associations for guidance. Someone needs to review your lease and the facts.

No. That would be a private contract matter between the consultant and the hiring company.

No, unless the suit involves the transaction itself in Maryland, such as you entered into a contract to purchase a product or service in Maryland and paid the initial payment toward the contract there before leaving. Mailing a check to a credit card company from Maryland or paying toward the credit... View More

You have a breach of contract action that is unlikely to be material enough to allow you to rescind the contract, give back all the solar panel equipment, and get a full refund. You will be stuck with your contract. Your damages will be measured by the cost to correct and repair any faulty... View More

If the dismissal is "without prejudice" then they can re-file suit so long as they do so within the original statute of limitations, which is 3 years in Maryland for typical credit card debt. The 3 years begins to run from the date the last payment under the credit card agreement became... View More

It's a bit jumbled together, but it's what known as a "severability clause". Essentially, if any aspect of the contract is found to contravene MD law (for instance, interest set at 10% in a rent case, etc.), the rest of the contract will continue to function regardless.... View More

Refund the money for the tickets sold, cancel the event, negotiate a return of the rental money. Private for-profit bingo games in Baltimore County are illegal, as they are in most counties. They may only be held for charitable purposes by charitable or non-profit organizations to raise money for... View More

You need to look at the lease agreement with the storage facility. I am guessing (since you do not state as much) that you and one other person both co-signed the lease and are therefore jointly liable for paying the rent. In such a case, the landlord can choose to sue just one or both of you for... View More

This forum is not appropriate for asking for a specific drafted provision to put into a legal instrument. You will need to talk to a lawyer and review your contract and go over exactly what it is you are concerned with in order to properly address the issue and make sure that any provision you put...

You misunderstand the document, and who pays the buyer's agent. Our lawyers are also licensed brokers, so we understand your question. It is the SELLER that pays the entire 6% commission, which is then SPLIT in some way with YOUR buyer's agent. The 2.5% you refer to DOES NOT come out of... View More

Absent unusual circumstances (ie. an agreement stipulating to responsibility or a guarantor or the occupant doing damage to the premises), the answer is no. The named tenant(s) are the responsible parties. Authorized occupants merely have the right to reside. As a result, they don't have... View More

Not likely. In Maryland there is a reported case called "Jacques," (my spelling may be off) which describes the standard of care owed by a lender to its prospective borrower. Whomever you consult should pull this line of cases for discussion.
