Attorney Insights

“Scotland sits right at Point Lookout, where the river meets the bay and the water draws crowds all summer. Boating accidents and boating under the influence stops happen here, and a BUI carries real penalties. If something goes wrong on the water, call me before you talk to anyone else.”
