"I hired this attorney to review and finalise online policy documents for a new SaaS platform service. The service I received is truly outstanding, responsive, and strongly focused on details. He knew from a technology perspective exactly what needed to be in-scope whilst progressing through discovery of our platform architecture. An unusual strong value was his demonstrated technical understanding of SaaS platform architecture and seemingly hands-on working knowledge of AWS services, configuration and management. A very important decision driver to hiring him was his fixed price to finish the job. This has been my experience and I am confident this experience is repeatable. Ich habe diesen Anwalt beauftragt, die Online-Richtliniendokumente für einen neuen SaaS-Plattformdienst zu prüfen und fertigzustellen. Der Service, den ich erhalten habe, war wirklich hervorragend, reaktionsschnell und äusserst detailorientiert. Aus technologischer Sicht wusste er genau, was in den Aufgabenumfang fallen musste, während er sich mit der Architektur unserer Plattform vertraut machte. Ein aussergewöhnlich grosser Mehrwert war sein nachweisliches technisches Verständnis der SaaS-Plattformarchitektur und sein offenbar praxisnahes Fachwissen über AWS-Dienste, deren Konfiguration und Verwaltung. Ein sehr wichtiger Entscheidungsgrund für die Beauftragung war sein Festpreis für die Fertigstellung des Auftrags. Das war meine Erfahrung, und ich bin überzeugt, dass sich diese Erfahrung wiederholen lässt."

Michelle D.
My career experience has been varied. Although litigation has been a central focus, I’ve served as Of Counsel for a franchise law firm, negotiating contracts with franchisees and vendors to ensure the best terms possible for my client. I have demonstrated acumen in leading and supervising the work of others. As an associate attorney for Shulman Rogers, I oversaw the Summer Intern Program. Throughout my career I directed the work of paralegals and legal receptionists. As a solo practitioner I employed a junior attorney. At each phase I was responsible for the work and performance of another. In my transactional practice I regularly advise clients on agreements, negotiate favorable terms on their behalf, draft agreements, interpret contractual provisions in disputes, provide opinion letters, and represent clients in mediation and arbitration. I’m accustomed to working in high stress, high stakes environments with quick deadlines, demanding and often emotional clients, while performing work that requires great detail, accuracy, and advocacy.

Lease Agreement
Maryland
Can a landlord increase the rent during the term of a lease agreement?
I recently signed a one-year lease agreement for an apartment, and it explicitly states the monthly rent amount. However, my landlord has informed me that they will be increasing the rent halfway through the lease term. I want to know if this is legally permissible, as I understood that the rent amount was fixed for the duration of the lease agreement.
Sara S.
Hi, Without reviewing the entire lease it is difficult to give a thorough answer, but it is likely legally permissible. In Maryland, the rules for rent increases vary based on the type of lease. For leases longer than a month, landlords must give a notice of 90 days. If a lease is between a week and a month, a 60-day notice is needed. Oral leases of a week or less require just 21 days' notice. For leases with a written contract of one week or less, only a 7-day notice is required. These rules ensure tenants have enough time to plan for changes in their rent, and can move if necessary. Refer to the Renters' Rights Stabilization Act of 2024 with a licensed lawyer for more information.

Release of Lien
Massachusetts
Can a release of lien be obtained if the original lienholder cannot be located?
I recently purchased a property and discovered that there is a lien against it from a previous owner's unpaid contractor. However, I have been unable to locate the original lienholder to request a release of lien. I need to know if it is possible to obtain a release of lien in this situation, and if so, what steps I should take to ensure the lien is cleared from the property's title.
Thomas D.
You have several alternatives. Did your original title policy insure against liens? If so, I can work with the title company to have the lien removed. Second, if the lien is old, it may have already expired and can be removed as a matter of law. Third, there are procedures in every state to remove a lien if the lienholder cannot be located. Finally, we may be able to have the title insurance company insure over the lien. Tom

Real Estate Lease Agreement
Colorado
Can I break a commercial lease if landlord stops providing heat?
I have been renting a commercial space for more than ten years. There have been consistent issues with heating and AC, as well as a leaking roof. For two weeks now there has been a major issue with the heater—it is not working. I have filed two maintenance requests, the first of which said the issue was handled. I just found out today (14 March) after reaching out a lot that the heater needs parts that are back ordered and won’t be available until 7 April. This is the last straw for me. I am wondering what the chances are of getting a letter about breaking the lease and being given time to find a new space. Any advice is helpful, and if this is possible I would love to get a quote.
Jane C.
It depends on the terms of the lease. The apartment is not habitable at the moment, so you should at least get a rent abatement. You should have a Colorado attorney review the lease.

Mortgage Modification Agreement
Georgia
Do you handle Forbearance in Ga?
We currently were in the Forbearance program. My father passed away he is the only one listed on the title, however him and my mother are still listed on the loan. The bank will not let us do a loan motification since my father is deceased . They are wanting the missed payments all at once or they say we loose the house
Meghan T.
Hello. First, I would like to say I am sorry for your loss. Regarding your question, I can provide a more general type of answer since more specifics are needed to determine the rights of you and your mother. The ability to continue with a forbearance program under these circumstances depends on the type of program applied to this loan. For example; the COVID hardship forbearance program applies to ALL federally backed and federally sponsored mortgages (HUD/ FHA, VA, USDA, Fannie Mae/ Freddie Mac). Depending on the loan type, a total of 18 months of forbearance may be applied to the loan. If the bank applied a different type of forbearance program, there may be different stipulations and mandates. Therefore, it is important to know what type of forbearance program is being applied and what the stipulations are. In any event, forbearance is an agreement by the bank to not do something (such as place the loan in default for missing a mortgage payment) for some stipulated period of time. The mere fact that your father is the only person listed on title and has passed away, may not change that agreement especially if the loan is federally backed. This is because although many loans and forbearance agreements contain a due on sale transfer provisions, federal law prohibits enforcement of these provisions for federally backed mortgages when the transfer is death related. Thus, depending on the circumstances, the bank may be prohibited from immediately accelerating (requiring "the missed payments all at once").
