Attorney Insights

“Benedict sits right on the Patuxent, with the bridge to Calvert close by. A boating accident or a stop on the water can raise a real question of which county and which agency handles it. Sort that out early. It shapes who you deal with and what deadlines you face.”

Jonathan L. Haskell, Esq., The Law Offices of Haskell & Dyer
