• Concerns about Homeowner’s Insurance?  The People's Insurance Counsel Division (PICD) of the Office of the Attorney General represents the interests of Maryland Homeowners.   While the Division cannot provide legal representation for individual consumers, PICD protects insurance consumers in a number of ways, including the discussing insurance problems with consumers to answer questions and explain the process available in Maryland for review of complaints.  If you have a problem with your insurance company or agent, you can file a complaint with the Maryland Insurance Administration (MIA), and an investigator will determine whether your insurance company violated Maryland's insurance laws.
