Divorce in Maryland…How to.

Divorce is hopefully something that you will never have to go through.  It is certainly not something you plan on when you tie the knot.  Ugly divorce actions are legendary in the courthouse and by this, I mean legal actions that involve months, and sometimes years, of stress, anxiety and frustration as the parties fill the court with arguments and testimony.

Here are some of the grounds that most people face –

1.  Physical abuse…the door swings both ways

2.  Adultery…emotions run high

3.  Desertion or even complete abandonment

4.  Emotional abuse…not as easy to define but very, very, real

Fortunately, Maryland law has evolved in recognition of the fact that such divorces benefit no one!  In 2018 a compassionate divorce attorney will help you sort through the vitriol and get to the best decision possible.  My name is Briana Arnold.  I am a Baltimore area family lawyer.  Please call me for a consultation at (410) 484-1400.

The Difficulties of Driving Around Baltimore.

We love living here, don’t we?  Baltimore is our home and it is easy to get around…SURE IT IS!  This time of year, we urge you to package up the road rage…we have plenty to spare around these parts.  We all have places to go.  Let us pledge to get there safely as we navigate around the Baltimore area this summer.

Why is driving around here so challenging at times?

1.  It seems like everyone is discourteous.

2.  Why do these other drivers even have blinkers?

3.  Have you recently tried merging from I-95 onto 395?

4.  See the crane?  No, not the bird…the construction crane.

5.  Is that a pothole or the Grand Canyon?

When driving around Baltimore causes you or someone that you love to get into an auto accident make sure that everyone at the scene is helped.  After that, begin to think of whom will represent you in court if you have personal injury case.  May we suggest Briana Arnold a Maryland auto accident attorney.  She will aggressively fight for your side.  Call her at (410) 484-1400.

Form N-400.

This is not the title of some upcoming Sci-fi movie.  For those applying for U.S. citizenship this is THE form that must be filled out in its entirety.  Green Card holders in the United States of America (and, more importantly, the state of Maryland) who meet the eligibility requirements, can file an N-400 form to request citizenship.

Becoming an American citizen gives you the same rights and privileges of citizenship as natural born American citizens.  There is one exception…you can never become President of the United States (lucky you!).  Is this not what you came to our country to achieve…full and free citizenship?

Now, to the application process.  It is complicated and incredibly important to fill out correctly the first time.  To achieve that you could call on the experience of Baltimore area immigration attorney Briana Arnold.  Attorney Arnold has many years of experience with the N-400 form and will guide you through the process.  Please call her for an appointment at (410) 484-1400.

When to Call a Lawyer.

If you watch television, you would think that you should have a personal injury lawyer on speed dial.  The hope, of course is that you never need one.  In the calm of day, with no imminent emergency (I hope) this may be a good time to cover some of the timing issues of when to call an attorney after an accident.

When should your make that call?

1.  Beware of the statute of limitations of how long you have to file AFTER an accident.

2.  Follow the rules.  When do you need to file a police report?

3.  Your insurance company may NOT have your best interests at heart.

4.  You may not know the full extent of your potential damages.

5.  Proving liability is no “piece of cake”.
