In the state of Maryland, is it malpractice for a lawyer to refuse to follow explicit instructions from a client, such as requesting a settlement conference with a magistrate and opposing counsel, especially if the attorney is pro bono and assigned to a pro se litigant by a district judge for the purpose of settlement?

Do we need to report the donations as income for a joint project where we are raising funds via crowdfunding to cover costs related to hiring musicians, venue rental, insurance, and other expenses for creating DVDs to be used as audition materials for college degree programs and job applications?

I saw a psychotherapist for ten years due to an abusive and traumatic childhood. After terminating therapy, I discovered she published a 'fictional' novel containing scenarios from my personal history. While she didn't use my name, I'm disturbed that she used my trauma for her own gain. Do I have any private legal recourse or any recourse at all?

I have a PD plate on my car, a Chrysler 300, and received an overtime ticket marked with the correct tag number but listed the wrong car as a Cadillac. Can this be legal and should I fight this?
