Civil Litigation

Tom Rand concentrates in civil litigation, which is all types of disputes between private parties. Mr. Rand also does DUI and traffic cases, and occasionally, other types of criminal cases.

Thomas Rand is a lawyer who has considerable experience in civil litigation in courts in Maryland and D.C., including contract disputes over real estate developments and commercial projects, other types of real property cases, and homeowners’ association disputes. 

Thomas Rand was an attorney in one of the largest dollar cases in Montgomery County, Maryland in the 1980’s, a dispute over a sale contract for a 400+ acre farm to be developed in upper Montgomery County, with a contract over 35 pages long, involving a host of re-zoning contingencies and many other complexities. 

At 26 years old, with only three years’ experience practicing law, Mr. Rand argued a summary judgment motion in this multi-million dollar case against a top notch lawyer with twenty years’ experience, who became a federal judge, and was a former president of both the Montgomery County and Maryland Bar Associations. 

If you think you might become embroiled in a serious civil litigation matter, you should seek legal advice immediately. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” does not apply only to medicine.

Complex Contracts

Where a dispute develops regarding an existing contract, even simple contracts can generate complex legal issues. There are economic and tactical advantages in having a capable lawyer on your side.

Property Disputes & Real Estate

The large body of case law stating real estate law, in both DC and Maryland, means that analyzing real estate property disputes is complex and requires a deep understanding of underlying legal principles, as well as the minute details of the many appellate cases.

Construction Law

Construction contractors who work on residential and commercial property and buildings may have rights enforceable by mechanics liens in the courts of Maryland (the Circuit Court of Maryland) and Washington, D.C. (the Superior Court of the District of Columbia).

Commercial Landlord/Tenant

Tom Rand has successfully represented landlords of shopping centers and office buildings in Maryland courts as well as the District of Columbia. If you have a tenant that is not paying, we understand that your case needs to be filed immediately!

Personal Injury/Car Accidents

You deserve fair compensation, and Tom Rand has the skill and experience to get it for you. If you have been hurt in a car accident or by someone else’s carelessness, you know that “Hit me, I need the money” is a myth propagated by the billion-dollar insurance industry.
