We provide services, often to several generations of the same family, for thoughtful planning and during times of crises. We are proud to serve as your family’s lawyer and trusted advisor. Frame & Frame focuses on three core areas of legal service:

Estate/Probate/Elder Law

Everyone should have a will and an estate plan, regardless of your age, income or other demographics. Without an appropriate plan, you have no control over the distribution of your assets, who will administer your estate, or who will care for your children. We help you create a plan that will protect and provide for your loved ones, in accordance with your wishes.

Our Maryland estate planning & probate attorneys have helped hundreds of personal representatives probate estates,  We have also helped hundreds of personal representatives probate estates, ranging from simple wills to complicated trusts. We provide a variety of services, catered specifically to your needs, including:

• Wills and Trusts
• Financial Powers of Attorney
• Healthcare Powers of Attorney
• Asset Protection
• Medicaid Planning
• Revocable Living trusts
• Irrevocable Trusts

• Estate Administration; and
• Probate

Elder law deals with a variety of legal issues typically faced by individuals as they age. Asset protection, rising medical problems, hospital stays, independent living, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities are just some of the concerns we can help address.

Family Law & Guardianship

Family law and guardianship issues are complex and often affect every member of the family, so we work with you to understand your needs and provide the guidance that will best serve you and your family. Family law encompasses:

• Divorce and spousal support,
• Custody and visitation,
• Child support, and
• Guardianships.

Family law issues involving children should be handled in a way that keeps the interests of the children in mind. Our firm protects your rights, while working to obtain a solution that is in your best interests and the best interests of your family.

There are many reasons why a guardianship may become necessary – an adult may become incapacitated temporarily or permanently and may need someone to handle his or her affairs. In other instances, a parent may not be able to care for a child due to illness, drug abuse, incarceration or severe financial problems; or it may be that a minor child receives an inheritance. In such situations, a guardianship may need to be established. Our firm works to recommend the best course of action, based on your situation, while balancing the sensitive and personal nature of these matters.

Personal Injury

Being involved in an automobile accident, slipping and falling, or being injured in any other type of accident is a shocking and life-changing experience. Not only does an accident result in painful and sometimes debilitating injuries, it can leave you financially devastated, with high medical bills, an inability to return to work, and suffering other economic damages. We offer a free initial consultation and are able to take these cases on a contingency fee basis, where you only pay us if we recover for you. Our personal injury attorneys fight for your rights and don’t give up until you get the just and fair compensation you deserve. We have handled thousands of accident claims and have recovered millions of dollars in personal injury settlements for our clients, specifically in the following areas:

• Car Accidents
• Motorcycle Accidents
• Personal Injury Protection
• Truck Accidents
• Workplace Accidents
