“That it is the right of the subjects to petition the king, and all commitments and prosecutions for such petitioning are illegal” in 1689 the people knew this..today we MAY have forgotten it. Eric beasley was arrested for peacefully protesting on the public area near a judges house.

I would like to take a moment and thank Frederick County Circuit Court for the free legal service I received today. I had a wonderful experience and was assisted by Graham Bennie. Mr. Bennie was very professional, knowledgeable, sharp, and extremely helpful. He worked tirelessly to assist each and every visitor, I barely saw him taking a break, he paid attention to details on each case, he was very respectful towards everyone and provided professional and compassionate consultation to people who cannot afford legal service. Simply put, this world would be a better place if we had more lawyers like him.
