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.

Co-Ownership Agreement
New York
Need advice on Co-ownership Agreement.
I am considering purchasing a property with a friend and we want to draft a Co-ownership Agreement to outline our rights and responsibilities. However, we have different financial contributions and I want to ensure that my investment is protected in case of any disputes or if one of us wants to sell the property. Can you provide guidance on what should be included in the agreement to address these concerns and any other important aspects we should consider?
Damien B.
Hello. An option is to create an LLC to purchase the property. This would provide liability protection. As part of the LLC, the members would have an Operating Agreement outlining the terms and conditions of managing the LLC (which owns the property), including provisions regarding financial contributions, disbursement, resolutions of disputes or disagreements, and how a property sale would occur.

Quitclaim Deed
Ohio
Precautions before signing a quitclaim deed?
I am a homeowner and I am in the process of selling my house. My buyer has requested that I sign a quitclaim deed. I understand that this deed will transfer my interest in the property, but I want to understand the legal precautions I should take before signing this document. I want to make sure that I am fully protected and do not have any legal liabilities after signing the quitclaim deed.
Jeffrey K.
A quitclaim deed conveys the sellers ownership interest in the property to the buyer with no guarantees of clear title to the property. In contrast, a warranty deed guarantees to the buyer that the seller holds clear title to the property. From a seller’s perspective a quitclaim deed is preferable in that the seller is not providing a warranty of clear title to the buyer. A warranty deed protects the buyer against title defects and is thus preferable to the buyer. If your buyer is getting a owner’s policy of title insurance, that would be sufficient to protect the buyer from defects in title.

Purchase and Sale Agreement
Massachusetts
Purchase and sale agreement and closing costs?
I am in the process of purchasing a home and I am looking at signing a Purchase and Sale Agreement. I am trying to understand what closing costs I will need to pay in order to complete the transaction. I want to make sure I am aware of all the costs associated with this purchase so that I can plan accordingly.
Moss S.
In Massachusetts it is advisable to have an attorney represent you in negotiating a Purchase and Sale Agreement. Purchasing a home is usually the most expensive item that a person buys in their lifetime. Regarding closing costs, they are driven mostly by your lender.

Real Estate Sale Agreement
Georgia
Can I back out of a real estate sale agreement if the seller failed to disclose a major defect?
I recently entered into a real estate sale agreement to purchase a house. However, after moving in, I discovered a major structural defect that the seller failed to disclose during the negotiation process. This defect will require significant repairs and affects the safety and value of the property. I want to know if I have grounds to back out of the agreement and seek compensation for the repair costs due to the seller's non-disclosure.
Dan P.
Under general Contract Law, the pre-existing conditions of the property merge into the Deed at the time of conveyance pursuant to the Merger Doctrine. However, exceptions to this rule do exist, particularly under state statues requiring disclosures pertaining to the sale of real property. Consult with a qualified attorney in your state to discuss possible remedies.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
