Document & Contract Review Attorneys Maryland and Washington DC

Unlike law firms that only do document review or contract review, Longman & Van Grack is a full-service, Maryland and Washington DC law firm. This means that our contract attorneys are in a better position than many nation-wide, often internet-only firms, that may not fully understand the intricacies of Maryland contract law and Washington DC contract law. For example, our contract lawyers have experience in breach of contract matters and contract disputes; thus, our contract lawyers can work with you to make sure your contract is as solid as possible. Our offices are conveniently located in Maryland (Bethesda and Rockville), and Washington DC, so you can come in and meet face to face with the contract attorney who is reviewing your document or contract. Depending on what documents you need reviewed, we may be able to assist you via email or over the phone, if that is more convenient for you.

To protect your best interests related to contracts and agreements, we can also help you (a) draft changes to the contract, (b) develop a counteroffer, or (c) negotiate different terms. We also have several notaries in our office who are able to notarize documents if you determine you are ready to enter into the contract.

In addition to concern over staggering legal fees, far too many people refrain from having their contracts professionally reviewed because they fear it will cause major delays in getting the deal done. While document review does take time, it is time well spent if it prevents you from entering into a bad agreement. And depending on the document, a review could take just a few hours.

Everyday activities such as signing a lease, starting a new job and buying a used car can include a stack of paperwork. Throughout Maryland and Washington DC, many people skip reading the fine print only to have it come back to bite them down the road. Having an attorney review complex documents is the best way to ensure you don’t find yourself in a bad situation in the future just because you were in a hurry or assumed that it was a standard. Even the most straightforward contract in Maryland and Washington DC can contain terminology that can create major problems later, including facing a breach of contract action, legal contract dispute, contract interpretation matter, or oral/written contract concern. And the fine print is not always the source of contract problems. Sometimes, the wording of seemingly harmless phrases can legally bind you to do something or pay for something that was not agreed to or expected.
