Pa.-based consumer law firm faces further challenges.

One year after "lemon law firm" Kimmel & Silverman lost its only Maryland attorney and saw dozens of cases dismissed for failure of discovery, it appears the firm has its staffing and paperwork in order.

MD law firm specializes in lemon law litigation.
