Welcome to the Jannace Law Office

Welcome to the Law Office of Charles Jannace. This is the home page of one of the finest and technologically advanced boutique law offices on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. We are centrally located in beautiful Salisbury, Wicomico County, Maryland, however, we provide legal services to the entire Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland including Somerset, Worcester, Dorchester, Talbot, and Caroline Counties. You will find information about our services on these pages.

We are a general practice firm with an emphasis on litigation (jury and non-jury) in all State and Federal Courts in the State of Maryland. However, we center our practice on criminal defense, traffic violations, juvenile hearings and proceedings, personal injury/wrongful death, domestic relations (divorce, custody, adoption, guardianship), bankruptcy (Chapter 7 and 13) and small business (formation, development, and contractual) cases.

Many people believe that just because they were awarded custody in a Court outside of the State of Maryland that they can simply come to Maryland and have that custody award honored by local law enforcement officials. That is not the case. We will register and enforce your out of state custody award in a local Circuit Court and assist you in obtaining possession of your child or children from a wayward non-custodial parent.

We also enjoy an active appellate practice and have been counsel to other bar members in this area as it is highly specialized and rules-intensive.
