Maryland Licensed Attorney Needed for Discrete State Court Petition (Limited Scope / Unbundled)
Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only
I am seeking a Maryland-licensed attorney for a discrete, limited-scope project. My husband needs a certified copy of his father's 1955 birth certificate to complete a Spanish dual-citizenship application (Law of Democratic Memory). Because they are completely estranged, obtaining written consent is impossible. The Maryland Department of Vital Records has already rejected our administrative request because adult children do not have automatic access. Our remaining remedy is to secure a court order directing the state to release the record. I need a Maryland attorney to review our current documentation (we have the formal rejection letter, an old copy of the birth certificate, and the consulate requirements ready as exhibits) and tell us what else a local judge will want to see. From there, you will draft the brief Petition for a Court Order and the Proposed Order, and submit them through your MDEC account. This is a single-issue, non-litigation filing. No courtroom appearances, discovery, or ongoing trial work are anticipated. Requirements: You must be an active member of the Maryland Bar in good standing and have access to MDEC. Please lead your proposal with your professional take on what specific proofs local judges typically require for these vital records requests."
