Ben Akech is a great lawyer! He advised me on a claim against a landlord who did not fulfill the terms of the rental contract and obtained a full refund. Ben was very professional, a good listener and always focused on my best interest.

Frequently Asked Questions About Civil Litigation in Maryland

How long does a civil lawsuit take in Maryland? The timeline for civil litigation in Maryland depends on the “track” assigned by the court. For example,simple cases (Track 0) may resolve within 90 days, while complex business disputes (B&T Track) can take 18 months to two years to reach a conclusion.

What is the statute of limitations for a civil claim? In most Maryland civil cases, including breach of contract and personal injury, you generally have three years from the date the harm occurred to file a lawsuit. Therefore, failing to act within this window may permanently bar your claim.

Can a business dispute be resolved without going to trial? Yes. Many cases involving civil litigation in Maryland are resolved through settlement negotiations, mediation, or arbitration. We prioritize cost-effective resolutions but remain fully prepared to litigate if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
