A Word About “Form” Contracts
At their inception, many businesses may try to cut costs and use form contracts found on the Internet, without consulting with an attorney to make sure their interests are protected.

A good practice is to consult a Maryland attorney regarding your proposed contract. Tim Mummert has a wealth of experience drafting contract for a number industries.
