During the past few months there has been an increase in the number of people who have been affected by COVID-19, either directly or indirectly. In response to the devastation that COVID-19 has caused, some Maryland counties have taken steps to provide relief to their citizens due to the difficult times that COVID-19 has placed on their lives.  In addition, the State of Maryland has issued Moratoriums to restrict the eviction process and a Court Order that outlines when cases will be heard, including landlord-tenant cases. This is a summary of some of the new laws, legislation, Orders, and Moratoriums that have either passed or are pending on the County level and State level. This by no means a complete analysis of the laws provided in each county or all laws that have been passed throughout the state of Maryland. If you need to know if the new orders and…

When you reach age 65, even if you have no plans to immediately retire, it’s time to start thinking about what benefits you may need in the future. Regardless of your financial situation, most retirement planning professionals would recommend applying for Medicare, the federal health insurance program for people age 65 and older (which also covers some younger people with certain disabilities and diseases). Medicare has four components: Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) covers inpatient hospital care, hospice care, residency in a skilled nursing facility, and some home health care. Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers some doctors’ services, preventive care, outpatient services, and medical supplies. Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage Plan) is a comprehensive plan through a private company that covers all benefits under Part A and Part B. Most of these plans offer prescription drug coverage, too, and they tend to cover more costs than federally funded Medicare.…

Hello! I'm Clover, new office mascot at Lusk Law, LLC. I was adopted by the firm's paralegal, Anne, in April of this year from Happy Hounds Homeward Bound, and I am one happy hound! You've probably heard of feisty pets, but you may not have heard of my breed: I’m a Feist dog.  The history of Feists in America goes back hundreds of years to when the first English terriers were bred with Native American dogs in the southern U.S.  George Washington mentions a “small foist looking yellow cur” dog in a 1770 letter, and Abraham Lincoln mentions a “fice” dog in his poem “The Bear Hunt.” In fact, Feists are still used as hunting dogs, and we like to chase squirrels. I'm not going to get very big, probably won't weigh more than 25 pounds. I’m pretty calm and spend most of my days sleeping under my mom’s desk…
