As a seasoned attorney with eighteen years of legal experience, I am comfortable in the courtroom and the boardroom.  I became an attorney in order to help people and to bring quality, affordable legal representation to individuals and businesses alike.  Everyone deserves a zealous advocate who is willing to fight relentlessly to achieve the best results for their circumstances.  I will be that advocate for you.. I am a native New Yorker, born in Brooklyn.  I attended the City University of New York’s John Jay College for undergraduate studies and I graduated from the University of Baltimore School of Law in May, 1997.  After law school I clerked for the Honorable Bonita J. Dancy at the Circuit Court for Baltimore City before joining the State of Maryland Office of the Public Defender in September, 1998.  At the Public Defender’s office I represented hundreds of indigent juveniles and adults charged with criminal offenses ranging from DUI and other traffic offenses to robbery, carjacking and murder.. After leaving the Public Defender’s office, I entered the private practice of law where I handled white-collar criminal defense and personal injury cases, including excessive force cases filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.  While in private practice I represented one of the first individuals charged with a criminal offense in connection with the theft of millions of dollars by officials of the Baltimore City Public Schools.. I joined the Baltimore City Solicitor’s Office in 2004.  There I litigated complex civil matters in the local and federal courts, including construction negligence and police excessive force cases.  While employed at the Solicitor’s office, I served as a Board Assistant on the Maryland State Board of Law Examiners where I actually wrote the Bar Exam.  From 2005 – 2008, I wrote essay questions which appeared on the Maryland Bar Examination and the Practicing Attorney’s Bar Examination.  I also assisted in crafting the Board’s analysis of the answers to bar essay questions and graded completed exams.. After leaving the Baltimore City Solicitor’s office, I served as an Assistant Attorney General in the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia.  In that capacity I litigated complex employment discrimination and constitutional claims in defense of the District of Columbia government.  I was promoted to Chief of Civil Litigation Section II at the Office of the Attorney General in 2011 and held that position until September of 2015.  I managed a team of up to eleven attorneys, four paralegals, and an administrative assistant and supervised over two hundred cases, including complex employment discrimination matters, whistleblower protection act cases, police excessive force cases, Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act cases, and other constitutional matters.. In addition to teaching a course where I help law school graduates acquire the skills needed to pass the Maryland Bar Exam, I have taught at the National Association of Attorney’s General Training and Research Institute and a Trial Advocacy course at Georgetown Law School for the National Institute for Trial Advocacy.. “Mere access to the courthouse doors does not, by itself, assure a proper functioning of the adversary process.” –Thurgood Marshall. I believe everyone is entitled to the highest level of legal representation possible.  I believe in fighting for my clients to achieve their desired results.  And I believe in serving my clients to the best of my ability.  Do not attempt to access the courthouse doors without proper legal representation.

For as long as I remember, I wanted to be an attorney. My father and founder of the firm, Vernon Frame, was a practicing attorney for over 65 years serving the community before he retired in 2002 at the age of 80. I grew up watching him help the residents of Anne Arundel County when they needed legal advice or representation.. We believe in helping people with thoughtful planning, guidance during times of crises, and creating a clear path for life’s legal journeys.  We provide a very personalized approach to legal issues by listening to your story and creating unique solutions to take the weight off your shoulders.. We do this by educating and informing our clients throughout process, serving as a valued resource, and creating unique and personalized strategies to alleviate your fears and worries.. I attended high school in Severna Park and subsequently moved to Baltimore where I attended the Johns Hopkins University and earned my bachelor’s degree. While at Hopkins, I played for the Blue Jay’s Women’s lacrosse team. After graduation, I went on to attend the University of Baltimore School of Law and graduated with honors.. After working for a mid-size firm in Baltimore, where my job was to represent defendants and insurance companies in auto accident and workers’ compensation cases, I soon realized that this was a far different type of legal work than what my father had done, and what I wanted to do for my community. So, in 1996, I came back home to Anne Arundel County, and worked alongside my father, helping the residents of Anne Arundel County.. For the first 10 years, I served as a general practice attorney handling cases such as family law, bankruptcy, adoptions, guardianships, criminal matters, DWI and traffic offenses which helped me develop a very diverse background understanding clients’ circumstances, personal experiences, and concerns. It also provided me a wealth of insight into the various factors that play into each and every unique situation.. In recent years, I was able to expand the firm and now have a legal team dedicated to family law and personal injury, allowing me more time to focus on my passion – estate planning. This area of law allows me to serve the needs of people in my community, in a very personal way. The relationships we develop often last a lifetime, because we are trusted for your needs today and entrusted to serve you and your family for generations to come. Most importantly, we truly serve as a legal guide to take the weight off your shoulders in times of crisis.. In 2003, we opened an office on Kent Island in Stevensville, Maryland, so that we could assist the residents of Queen Anne’s County, Kent County, Caroline County, Talbot County and Dorchester County with their legal needs. In 2019, we opened a location in Annapolis, Maryland which allows us to better serve our growing clientele located in Annapolis and the surrounding areas.. My husband and I have been married 20+ years and have two wonderful children, who keep us busy with soccer games, lacrosse games, and school events. In the summer, I spend my spare time with my family boating on the Bay, going to Ocean City, and watching the Orioles play. In the winter, I enjoy skiing at Deep Creek and watching the Ravens.. It is so fulfilling to be able to represent not only my father’s past clients, but those clients’ children and grandchildren as well, who return to us whenever they need legal advice or legal representation. I am proud to carry on the family tradition of serving our community for over 65 years.

I have a practice dedicated to helping people prepare for their eventual incapacity and/or death. In facing these realities of living, I help them write graceful transitions at these difficult times. It is planning their legacies. In my prior practice, I did general law, and eventually concentrated in divorce law. With a divorce, I always felt that we started with a pie, and in the end their was less for everyone. In Estate Planning, we start with a pie, and in the end, there is more for everyone. I take pride in helping families navigate through difficult circumstances effectively and efficiently.Stated, so well,"Preparing for death is one of the most empowering things you can do.Thinking about death clarifies your life." Candy Chang, "Before I die, I want to...
