G1 LicensureNot published by MDMaryland does not publish an attorney register we can query, so licensure is not verified here. The state's own attorney search is the place to check it.

G2 DisciplineNot published by MDMaryland does not publish a disciplinary register we can query.

G3 Entity & officeNot published by MD1 physical location verified on Google Business Profile. Maryland publishes no business register we can query. SDAT's entity search is a form rather than a dataset, its bulk data is sold rather than published, and the state's open data portal carries a count of businesses instead of the register. This is a limit of the published record and not something the firm can change.

G5 WebsiteNot checkedSite has served over HTTPS, a working phone number published, no attorney is named on the site we could read. The gate also asks for no misleading claims, which is an editorial read we have not recorded.

G6 Footprint55 public client reviews across 1 Google listing, above the 10 minimum, and the firm's domain has been registered since 1999-09-15, so it has been operating for more than a year
