My name is Grason John-Allen Eckel. I am a civil rights, criminal defense and civil trial attorney in Cambridge on Maryland's Eastern Shore. I am a member of the bars of Maryland, District of Columibia, U.S. District Court for the District of Columiba, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and the United States Supreme Court. I granduated from Penn State University with a B.A. in Political Sciance and the Antioch School of Law in Washington D.C. with a Juris Doctor degree. I am interested in history, politics and human rights issues.
I am genuinely concerned about others less fortunate than myself. Althought I put Christ first in my life I do not cram my spiritual beliefes down anyones throat. All I want is for people to love one another, to be kind to one another, and to come to each others rescue if possible. I love children and pets and I am a very family oriented person. I have visited Moscow and St. Petersburg (when it was still the Soviet Union), London, Paris, Berlin and Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. Now tell me a little bit about yourself.
