The Maryland Attorneys’ Rules for Professional Conduct that apply to all attorneys who practice law in Maryland requires that “An attorney shall provide competent representation to a client. Competent representation requires the legal knowledge, skill, thoroughness and preparation reasonably necessary for the representation.” A formal comment to this Rule states, “An attorney need not necessarily have special training or prior experience to handle legal problems of a type with which the attorney is unfamiliar. A newly admitted attorney can be as competent as a practitioner with long experience. Some important legal skills, such as the analysis of precedent, the evaluation of evidence and legal drafting, are required in all legal problems. Perhaps the most fundamental legal skill consists of determining what kind of legal problems a situation may involve, a skill that necessarily transcends any particular specialized knowledge. An attorney can provide adequate representation in a wholly novel field through necessary study. Competent representation can also be provided through the association of an attorney of established competence in the field in question.”
Hence, a lawyer in Maryland may represent a client in a Maryland medical malpractice case even if the lawyer has no prior experience in handling Maryland medical malpractice claims. There is no requirement for lawyers who advertise that they handle medical malpractice cases in Maryland that they disclose in their ads their competence and experience in representing medical malpractice victims. In fact, there are for-profit companies that will provide a flashy plaque and list a lawyer on its website in exchange for monetary payment, without investigating the qualifications of the lawyers who pay their fees. Asking family or friends who they recommend may not be reliable because the recommendation may be based on friendship, representation in other legal matters (such as in a divorce or custody matter, or for a traffic accident case), or based on nonrelevant circumstances.
