About Richard Granat

We are Maryland’s first online law firm that provides fixed fee legal services in family and divorce law. Our proprietary online technology enables our law firm to offer you low cost legal services that are fast and convenient. Our passion is helping people divorce peacefully and get on with their lives, without spending thousands of dollars on legal fees. If you have children, the money is better spent on your children rather than on legal fees. We provide you with all of the forms you need plus legal advice for a fixed fee. No-fault divorce from $349.00. I am the author of “How to Do Your Own Divorce in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia,” and “Divorce: A Do-It-Yourself Manual For Marylanders.” I have also served as a member of the Standing Committee on the Delivery of Legal Services of the ABA, which is concerned with developing new methods of delivering legal services to people of moderate means. In addition, I have been: • the Coordinator of the Maryland Court System’s “Pro Se Project” on self-help representation in family law matters. • the Founder of the People’s Law Library of Maryland. This project taught me about the power of the Web to change peoples’ lives through the provision of legal information. • a member of the core group that started the Civil Justice Network of Maryland. • a member of the Board of Directors of Responsive Law – advocating for the consumer’s voice in the legal system.
