Joseph A. Warth, Attorney - Eastern Shore of Maryland
INDEPENDENT Counsel for all of Your Real Property, Small Business, Estate and Asset Protection Planning Needs.

Serving residents and businesses in Ocean City, West Ocean City, Berlin, Ocean Pines, Salisbury, Easton, Cambridge, and other communities on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

I recently came across a manual from a continuing legal education seminar I attended in 1982, shortly after opening my law practice, entitled "Negotiating, Drafting and Financing Residential Real Estate Transactions In a Troubled Economy."

Well, folks it's time to dust off that book once again because "the more things change, the more they stay the same" and we appear to be in another one of those "troubled" economies for real estate, small business and individual investors.

This one looks likely to get worse before it gets better. Perhaps much worse.

It's time to be defensive again. It's time to be cautious, careful, and extra-vigilant. It's certainly not time to just "go along with the program."

This is where I come in. My name is Joe Warth, and I am an Eastern Shore area based Maryland Attorney with over 24 years experience independently representing real estate and small business buyers, owners, borrowers, and investors with respect to the sale, purchase, planning and strategy of their assets.

If you are satisfied with the quality of service you received during your last home sale or purchase, refinance, purchase of a small business, or estate planning review, and

… if you feel that your former "team of advisors" had your best interests at heart, and you are prepared to depend on them for your next transaction or estate planning review, and

… if you feel that their advice, guidance, recommendations and strategy for success were right for you and served you well, then

…you have probably reached the wrong Web Site.

If, on the other hand, you feel that you would have been in a much better position today had you been better represented, with independent legal counsel, representing you independently during your last transaction or planning structuring, I urge you to contact my office for a free initial consultation by telephone or in person. I welcome the opportunity to discuss your needs and goals, and how I may offer assistance, service and solutions.
