The Client Protection Fund of the Bar of Maryland ("CPF" or Fund) handles and decides claims against Maryland lawyers alleging theft of client or fiduciary funds. Its assessment for the current fiscal year is $20 per lawyer as fixed by the Court of Appeals of Maryland and by statute.
Asset protection planning can be fairly straightforward. Sometimes there are no tax issues involved and the client's goal is simply to shield the family home or retirement savings from liability claims. In these cases you might expect legal fees in the range of $5,000-$6,500 depending on the complexity involved.
In May 2022, the median annual wage for lawyers was $135,740. The 10th percentile of top-earning lawyers makes an annual wage of $66,470, while those in the 90th percentile earn $239,200 or more per year.
Absolutely, that is an achievable income. It all depends on your area of expertise and the client you work for. Attorneys who specialize in corporate law or work closely with companies to battle litigation cases or draft terms and conditions can earn more than those who work with smaller clients.

All you would need to do is notify your current attorney that you would like to terminate services, ask for a detailed final bill, and have your retainer balance returned.
It prevents a lawyer from being compelled to testify against his/her client. The purpose underlying this privilege is to ensure that clients receive accurate and competent legal advice by encouraging full disclosure to their lawyer without fear that the information will be revealed to others.
As advisor, a lawyer provides a client with an informed understanding of the client's legal rights and obligations and explains their practical implications. As advocate, a lawyer zealously asserts the client's position under the rules of the adversary system.
