Courthouses We Cover
Circuit Courts and District Courts handle different case types — we run to both. All locations keep the same public hours. Our hub sits right off Route 43 and I-95, with the Essex District Court just down Route 7.
Circuit Courts
Baltimore City Circuit Court operates out of three separate buildings, not one — Mitchell, Cummings, and the Juvenile Justice Center each handle different matters. Baltimore County's Register of Wills is in the same building as its Circuit Court (401 Bosley Avenue); Harford County's is a different address entirely.

District Courts
Landlord-tenant, small claims, traffic, and misdemeanor filings go to District Court, not Circuit Court. Baltimore City has four locations and Baltimore County has three — different addresses entirely from their respective Circuit Courts.

Federal Courts
Both federal courts share the Garmatz Federal Courthouse in downtown Baltimore, in separate clerk's offices. Federal hours run 9:00am–4:00pm — a half-hour later start and earlier close than every state court above.
| Courthouse | Address | Clerk's Hours |
|---|---|---|
U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland | Edward A. Garmatz Federal Courthouse, 101 W. Lombard Street, Baltimore, MD 21201 | 9:00am – 4:00pm, Mon–Fri |
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland | Edward A. Garmatz Federal Courthouse (same building, separate clerk's office), 101 W. Lombard Street, Baltimore, MD 21201 | 9:00am – 4:00pm, Mon–Fri |
Hours are set by the Maryland Judiciary and U.S. Courts and subject to change for holidays and inclement weather. Confirm same-day filings with the clerk's office directly for time-sensitive deadlines.
Rush and STAT Filing Windows
A rush fee gets you priority dispatch — it can't reopen a closed clerk's window. See the Rate Card for rush and STAT surcharges, and plan same-day filings before mid-afternoon whenever possible.
