Attorney Information

Overview

Atwell Law, LLC, is based in Easton, Maryland. I am the firm's only lawyer, which means that you will be able to deal directly with me regarding all legal matters.

I grew up on Kent Island and graduated from Queen Anne's County High School in 1991. After graduating with honors from the University of Baltimore with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history in 1995, I obtained my Juris Doctorate from the University of Baltimore School of Law in 1999 and was then admitted to the Maryland State Bar Association, Inc., and the U.S. District Court.

While still in law school, I began working in Pasadena, Maryland, as a law clerk for my uncle, attorney Vernon Frame, a fixture in the Anne Arundel County legal community for more than 50 years. I stayed with Frame & Frame, LLC, Attorneys at Law, as an associate until 2008. That same year, I left to work with Leo P. Hylan, also located in Pasadena, Maryland, where I later became a partner, forming Hylan and Atwell, LLC. In January of 2011, I decided to open a solo practice serving both the Eastern Shore and Anne Arundel County with an office in Easton.

Born in Annapolis and raised on Kent Island, I have strong ties to the area and the community I call home. After marrying my wife Julie, we moved to Easton in 2000 to raise our two sons, Tristan and Trevor. I am an active member of Saints Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church and belong to the Knights of Columbus.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
