If you have a team of professionals, selling your home will be stress free. Mr. Cory's office is an efficient and well oiled machine. Susan, that is in the office, is a excellent communicator. All phone calls were answered and email responses were immediate. When there was an issue in a contract, Mr. Cory not only noticed it; but stood firm until it was corrected. He really does care about you. I immediately felt like he was family. 100% recommend him.

Mr. Covert and his wife were easy to work with, knowledgeable, and responsive to my phone calls and questions. I was being sued by an out-of-state assisted living facility where my mother had resided (She had been neglected, so I removed her without notice, violating the contract I had signed). After we discussed seeking a Maryland attorney's help to fight this, it was suggested to me that we should try negotiating a settlement first with the facility's attorney. Mr. Covert was not only successful in convincing the lawyer to drop the lawsuit, but also presented me with a very favorable settlement option. In the end, I paid far less than I would have had fighting the lawsuit, or paying what the assisted living facility was demanding. I am very happy for the Covert's help. I highly recommend them.

I hired Annemarie as my lawyer while going through a custody battle. She was very understanding and made me feel very comfortable. She is very smart and helped me get sole custody of my daughter. She also always answers my phone calls or calls me back in a very timely manner if I ever have a question or need help with anything. I am very happy I choose Annemarie as my lawyer and I will absolutely use her devices again if need be.
