Divorce
Thursday, February 16th, 2012
One assumes that getting married truly means they will be with this one person for life. However, for nearly half of all marriages, this is sadly not true. Getting divorced is painful for both parties, as well as their family and friends. The high cost in emotional and financial capital can be one of the most difficult things many people face. One thing you should do if you decide to divorce your spouse is to try and consider what will occur after the fact. An experienced Maryland divorce attorney, like those at Cohen & Dwin, P.A., will help you with compassion and understanding of your situation.
In Maryland, there are two types of divorce:
- Limited divorce – The court recognizes a legal separation, and orders a separation. The court will also declare what will happen with any children or dependents, as well as the division of property.
- Absolute divorce – The court orders a termination of marriage. Again the court will decide what is to become of children and property.
In both cases, certain qualifications must be met. If desertion, cruelty, adultery, voluntary separation, or other aspects are proven, the court will grant one of the two types of divorce.
You should not go through the legal steps of a divorce without the aid of an experienced divorce attorney. This is a complex event, can be confusing to one or both parties, and needs to be looked at by someone you can trust in a rational light, instead of emotion.
If you or a family member is considering a divorce and are in the Baltimore, Maryland area, please contact the experienced divorce attorneys at Cohen & Dwin, P.A. for an initial consultation.

Choosing a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer
Monday, February 6th, 2012
A number of workers’ compensation claims are denied upon their initial submission due to inadequate injury documentation or an otherwise incomplete application. If you have a valid claim for benefits, a denial can delay the money you need for medical expenses and other costs.
Because many legitimate claims are rejected on the first attempt, it is good idea to consult with an experienced workers’ compensation attorney if you suffered a workplace injury. The Baltimore workers’ compensation attorneys at Cohen & Dwin have helped a number of injured Maryland workers maximize their benefits and receive approval on initial application.
We have also successfully guided numerous workers whose first claims were denied through the workers’ compensation appeals process. Our lawyers have extensive knowledge of workers’ compensation law, and we understand how to get you the benefits you need as you recover, whether you suffered a short-term occupational illness or experienced an injury that caused a long-term disability.
The aftermath of a job-related injury can be a stressful time. Not only are you dealing with the injury itself, but you may have to take extended time away from work and face mounting bills.
Choosing a qualified workers’ compensation lawyer can help ensure your application for benefits is documented fully and filed correctly, allowing you to focus on your recovery.
If you sustained an on-the-job injury, please contact the Baltimore workers’ compensation lawyers at Cohen & Dwin for your free case consultation.
