Do You Need Legal Assistance?

Have you heard of the Maryland Disability Law Center?

The home page of their website has this to say about what they do:

"

Access to education, housing, health care, and more
Freedom from abuse and neglect and unnecessary institutionalization
Public awareness about people with disabilities and the issues that matter to them "

Under Services and Programs they list the following as their goals for this calendar year:

"Our 2011 advocacy service areas include:
