Free Legal Help In St. Mary's...

[lepgirl]

Hi All,

I was wondering if there is anywhere to go in this county or nearby that offers either free or inexpensive legal consultation. If so, has anyone here used these services? I would like to find someone that I can discuss with regarding domestic and custody issues. Chapman, Bowling and Scott are currently handling an estate that was left by my deceased father and I have to admit, I'm not overly impressed with their services even though I've heard nothing but good comments about them. TIA!

Her correct number is 301 862-3764. She does not do domestic cases though. Her partner Bryan Dugan does.
