On Wednesday, August 19, the Law Library hosted another successful Ask A Lawyer In The Library program. Thank you, Dan Mellin of Hillman, Brown & Darrow, P.A., for volunteering and providing this service to the public. Four people took part in the program and were able to speak with the attorney to request assistance with issues such as contracts, unemployment, and real estate. The next program date is Wednesday, August 26, 2015.

The program was also held in the evening in Glen Burnie.  Sole practitioners Mary Albrecht-Jordan, Carole Brown and Todd Cagwin  were on hand to provide assistance
to 14 additional people who had questions on topics such as alimony, real estate, trusts, powers of attorney, mortgages, marriage, consumer and contract problems.  We welcome new program volunteers Carole and Todd and always appreciate the time of all of the program volunteers. This evening program well be held again next month on September 16, 2015.
