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.

Free Consultation
I provide a free legal consultation to all potential clients, regardless of whether they choose to retain me. The average consultation will go through your basic legal options and make recommendations regarding your case. No fee will EVER be charged to a potential client. A consultation will on average take about 30-45 minutes. -
Credit Cards Accepted
I accept all major credit cards (ie. visa, mastercard, etc.) -
Contingent Fees
On certain cases, I will accept a contingency fee structure wherein I only get paid if I collect money for you. In such cases, in exchange for my services, I get a percentage of the judgment collected. The fee varies from approximately 25-35%. To put that in perspective, for every $100 I collect, I receive between $25-$35.

- Q. I have a tenant renting a room, she run her mouth her sister send me a threatening text message, can i evict my tenant?
- A: Depends on how threatening it is, what the lease says and whether the sister is staying there. If an invitee/guest is breaching the lease, that breach can "rub off" on the tenant as well. If the sister has no relationship to the property (ie not staying there, not an invited guest, etc.), it'll become trickier. If the sister is acting at the behest of the Tenant, then yes, it might reach a breach level. How long is left on the lease?
- Q. We have a new owner. Our rent was paid till Aug 1st 2021. The new owner has not sent mailed us a new lease.
- A: When does the prior lease expire?
- Q. I lived in Md awhile back and apparently had some traffic tickets that escalated into a court date that I was never
- A: Counsel is completely right. Depending on the situation, it may be an easy fix, but it might have a Failure to Appear or worse, a bench warrant attached to it.
