The Lawyer in the Law Library Program is a limited legal advice service and should not be considered a substitute for representation. If you would like to hire an attorney to represent you contact the Anne Arundel Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service or call 410-222-6859. More resources can be found in the Anne Arundel County Pro Bono (Free) and Reduced Fee Legal Services Directory.
Preparation for your session:
- Write a list of specific questions for the attorney.
- Organize any paperwork from most recent to the oldest.
- Identify all deadlines.
- Prepare a timeline of the legal issue.
