BOLTON HILL, Md. — For nearly four decades, Maryland's creative community has had support in the form of free legal help. Maryland Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts has been protecting artists, entrepreneurs and creative organizations since 1985.

Marquis Gasque, known as "DJ Mighty Mark," was once a client of MdVLA. He says they helped his career face some of its biggest hurdles when he was working on an album and putting it out through a label without the resources for a lawyer.

"I was working on an album putting it out through a label and I didn't really have the resources for a lawyer, and I found out about this organization and all the work that they do to help artist afford legal services," Gasque said.
