Power of Attorney -- Guardianship
Power of Attorney (POA) gives authority to an agent to act in the place of the principal. It is important to understand the rights and responsibilities that come with Power of Attorney. An attorney can be beneficial in helping you understand if Power of Attorney, a designated trustee, or an appointed guardian is the right tool for you and your loved-one.
You have the right to accept of refuse medical treatment. Advanced Health Care Directives and Living Wills give you the ability to participate in your health care and treatment decisions before the stressors of failing health burden your decision making.
Breach of Contract
You don’t have to have a written contract to sue, or be sued for Breach of Contract. Anytime a party fails to perform an obligation as agreed, there is the potential for a Breach of Contract claim.
Once a contract is formed there are numerous circumstances in which a party can breach its terms, among them are material breaches, implied breaches, and anticipatory breaches of contract. Don’t let your business dealings go sour without having someone on your side to help you sort of breaches of contract.
Civil Litigation
Criminal law and civil law operate on two separate procedural paths. The time frame, rules of engagement as well as the consequences and rewards for successful outcomes are fundamentally different.
Unlike in criminal law, there is no right to counsel in civil litigation. As a result, there is often a power imbalance where parties with access to counsel over parties without counsel who have trouble navigating the legal process. Regardless of your claim of right, protect your interest and hire an attorney.

Filing bankruptcy may be the best option to for you if you have large debts that you can’t afford to repay, or are behind in your mortgage payments and in danger of foreclosure, are being harassed by bill collectors—or all of the above.
Bankruptcy can, in some cases, reduce or eliminate your debts, save your home and keep the bill collectors at bay, but it also has serious consequences, including long-term damage to your credit score. That, in turn, can hamper your ability to borrow in the future, raise the rates you pay for borrowed money, and even make it difficult to get a job.
A Release is generally exactly what the term describes, it is an agreement to relinquish or give-up certain rights and privileges. As is the case with any contract, in order for a Release to be valid, there must be something valuable offered in exchange for the acting party giving-up their valuable rights and privileges. Fill-in the blank Release forms have been successfully challenged in court many times. Insulate yourself from liability, with a customized Release drafted to protect you and your customers.
Establish a confidential relationship with your employees, clients and vendors through a Non-Disclosure Agreement. A well-crafted NDA should prevent competitors from obtaining trade secrets and proprietary information.
Non-compete agreements protect employers against unfair competition from current and former employees. Protect your business dealings from copy-cats.

Forming a business can be as easy as 1-2-3 using MSDAT pdf forms. However, determining which business formation is right for you requires consulting an attorney. Maryland law recognizes 26 separate business entity formations, each serves a special purpose and requires that specific actions be taken to form and maintain the business. Find out which one is best for you. Start your business with confidence in the proper legal documentation.
We are all too familiar with “closed for business” headlines. While the notion of a business closing may be popular, the legal process of dissolving or winding down a business is largely governed by corporations & associations law and the entity's ownership documents. Even small businesses have numerous steps to take in order to properly close out a business. Know your rights and responsibilities before you throw in the towel.
If your rental home has mold, pests, rodents, no heat, (in certain circumstances) no air conditioning, no running water, or signs of poor maintenance don’t get trapped in a bad lease. Paying your rent to a rent escrow instead of your landlord may be right for you.
Likewise, know your rights when evicting a bad tenant and collecting money owed to you. In an eviction case, courts will enforce the collection of “reasonable attorneys fees" agreed to under a valid lease agreement.
