Legal Help for Howard County Residents and Families

Lauren helps clients understand the legal process, organize the information that may matter, and approach the next step with a practical plan. With nearly 25 years of experience working in the legal field, she understands that every client brings a different combination of responsibilities, concerns, and priorities.
The Law Office of Lauren R. Henry, LLC serves Howard County residents from its office in Owings Mills. Depending on the type of matter and the jurisdictional requirements involved, a case may proceed through the Circuit Court for Howard County, the Howard County District Court, or another appropriate court.
Lauren’s approach emphasizes preparation, straightforward communication, and guidance adapted to the client’s particular circumstances.
How We Can Help
Legal Services for Howard County Clients
Personal Injury
An accident can leave an injured person dealing with medical appointments, lost income, transportation problems, and pressure from an insurance company. Claims may also involve questions about who was responsible and what evidence is available.
Lauren assists with car and truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, rideshare accidents, hit-and-run claims, unsafe property conditions, dog bites, nursing home abuse, wrongful death, and other incidents involving possible negligence. She can help investigate what happened, preserve relevant evidence, communicate with insurers, and pursue compensation available under Maryland law.
Family Law
Family law cases may require difficult decisions about children, finances, property, housing, and safety. Those decisions can have consequences that continue long after the immediate disagreement or court proceeding ends.
Lauren assists with divorce and separation, child custody and parenting time, child support, paternity, modifications, enforcement and contempt proceedings, alimony, property matters, protective orders, mediation, and family agreements. She helps clients understand their options and prepare for the practical as well as legal effects of each decision.
Guardianship
When an adult or minor cannot independently manage essential personal, medical, or financial decisions, a guardianship proceeding may be considered. Because guardianship can significantly affect an individual’s rights, courts generally require detailed information about why an appointment is necessary and whether another arrangement could provide sufficient protection.
Lauren assists with guardian-of-the-person and guardian-of-the-property matters. This may include preparing a petition, organizing supporting documentation, addressing court requirements, participating in proceedings, and helping proposed or appointed guardians understand their responsibilities.
