Practice Areas
The Law Office of Sheila Durant provides experienced legal representation across multiple practice areas, serving individuals, families, and organizations throughout Maryland.
01
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy provides individuals and families with a fresh financial start by discharging most unsecured debts. If you are facing wage garnishment, harassing creditor calls, or overwhelming debt, Chapter 7 may offer the relief you need. Attorney Durant is listed on the Maryland Bankruptcy Court's Low Bono panel, offering reduced-fee Chapter 7 representation for those who qualify.
02
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows individuals to reorganize their debts into a manageable repayment plan spanning three to five years. This option can help you keep your home, stop foreclosure, and catch up on missed payments while protecting your assets.
03
Small Business Development
Today, the majority of Attorney Durant's practice focuses on small business development and growth strategies. Drawing on decades of experience in general and small business law in Baltimore City and Salisbury, she helps owners form, structure, and grow their businesses with insightful, thoughtful, and honest counsel.
04
Mediation of Commercial Disputes
A graduate of the American Arbitration Association's first class of Leon Higginbotham Mediators, Attorney Durant mediates commercial disputes, helping parties reach fair and lasting resolutions while saving time, money, and stress.
05
Medical Malpractice & Premises Liability Consulting
Attorney Durant occasionally consults on medical malpractice and premises liability matters, bringing more than four decades of litigation experience to the evaluation and strategy of these cases.
06
Civil Litigation
A fierce litigant, Attorney Durant served the Baltimore City Solicitor's Office under four mayors on labor law, real estate, general litigation, and civil rights matters. She won a case of first impression interpreting the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act in Korotki v. Attorney Services Corp. — still good law and cited across the United States.
