The Morris Law Firm LLC is the foremost liquor license law firm in Montgomery County, Maryland and regularly assists restaurants, bars, and retailers on liquor licensing matters throughout Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC. Each of these jurisdictions presents significant challenges.
Maryland is unique in that every county in the State has its own set of liquor license laws, each with its own distinct requirements and restrictions. Meanwhile, the District of Columbia has multiple liquor license moratorium zones and liquor laws that allow small groups of citizens (as few as five) to interject themselves into the licensing process, often requiring the would-be licensee to enter into “voluntary” settlement agreements with these groups as a condition for the issuance of the license.
To successfully navigate this confusing and ever-changing legal and regulatory landscape often requires the assistance of an experienced liquor license attorney. The Morris Law Firm has worked with clients ranging from independent mom-and-pop operations to international restaurant chains.
We can assist you with matters such as:
- Liquor license applications
- Protests and settlement agreements
- Compliance with alcoholic beverage laws and regulations
- Residency requirements and resident agent issues
- Special entertainment permits
- Liquor license renewals and transfers
- Liquor board violations
