The Maryland State Bar Association, Inc. (the "MSBA") is a non profit, professional voluntary member organization. It does not have governmental or regulatory authority or jurisdiction over its members, which include lawyers from many states. The directory presented on these web pages (the "Directory") is composed only of members of the MSBA, and does not represent a listing of licensed lawyers. The information presented in the directory is not verified by the MSBA. The Directory is not a referral service, and the MSBA does not recommend any specific lawyer or MSBA member.

The Directory is provided solely as a service to MSBA members and the public to locate MSBA members who have not opted out of the Directory.

1. not a lawyer; or
2. not a member of the MSBA.
