Leonard A Englander
Law Office of Leonard A. Englander, Esq., LLC
Everyone should be able to afford justice. As a teacher for disadvantaged teens in Baltimore, it was clear to me that the lack of affordable legal representation is a problem for so many who seek a fair outcome in court. Making sure that everyone’s rights are honored, regardless of income, has always been my goal as an attorney. Starting with my work as a law student with University of Maryland’s JustAdvice Clinic, to volunteering with Legal Aid, to fighting for the rights of victims as an attorney for the nonprofit, SALI (Sexual Assault Legal Institute), I have represented clients in a variety of legal matters. Divorce, custody, peace/protective orders, immigration, housing, crime victim representation, employment law, and Title IX cases, are just some of the areas where I have successfully stood for my clients in court.
Over the years, it became obvious to me that non-profits cannot possibly fill the growing need for attorneys for those whose income is above the income and case-type thresholds for “free” help. If you need a qualified, Maryland barred lawyer who will represent you at a price that the fancy, high-overhead firms can’t match, you are the person that I had in mind when I built this practice.

You don’t have to fight the system alone.

I provide a free legal consultation to all potential clients, regardless of whether they choose to retain me.

A consultation will on average take about 30-45 minutes. -

Contingent Fees
On certain cases, I will accept a contingency fee structure wherein I only get paid if I collect money for you.

To put that in perspective, for every $100 I collect, I receive between $25-$35.

- Q. Hello I gave notice to my rental office that I would vacate my unit on October 31, 2024. I moved my things out on Sunday
- A: Not really. Once you turned back possession of the premises, they were legally entitled to come in and dispose of anything remaining. The Landlord would generally be protected in this type of situation.
- Q. Is there a time limit for landlord to file any other paperwork once the judge Grant's no right of redemption
- A: Generally, a failure to pay rent has a 4 day appeal period. If this happened on 10/2/24, you will not be able to appeal the ruling.
You can request a short stay of eviction, but that is dependent on the Judge and it will not be for long (ie. 30 days or so max).
- Q. What is the legal interest rate I can charge to collect money awarded to me in a civil case in Montgomery Co, MD?
- A: I agree with Counsel. It is generally 10% interest. There are some decent websites that will help you do the math if you need it.
However, if the judgment comes from unpaid rent, either in part or full, the interest rate would be 6%. Just wanted to tack that on in case it came from unpaid rent owed.
