Port Tobacco is one of the oldest towns in Maryland, the historic former county seat just west of La Plata. Today it is a small, quiet village with a courthouse museum, deep roots, and old family land along the Port Tobacco River.
At The Law Offices of Haskell & Dyer, we help Port Tobacco families with the legal worries of everyday life. We explain things in plain words and help you take a smart next step.
Your case is handled in La Plata, the current county seat, only about 5 minutes east of Port Tobacco. Traffic tickets, DUI charges, and most misdemeanors go to the District Court at 200 Charles Street. Felonies, jury trials, larger civil cases, and probate go to the Circuit Court at the same Charles Street complex.
Where will my court date be if I live in Port Tobacco?
In La Plata, only about 5 minutes east, at either the District Court or the Circuit Court on Charles Street.
Can you help settle old family land or a will?
Yes. Wills, deeds, and probate for long-held family property are a regular part of our work.
Is the first call free?
