Finding the Best Way Forward
for Any Family Law Dispute
Montgomery & Frederick County Family Law Attorneys
Emotions run high in any family law dispute. It is very difficult to keep everything in perspective. Perspective is perhaps the most important thing your lawyer brings to your case. We know that often what you think you want today (full custody, the house, the car, etc.) may not be what will make you the happiest several years from now.
As attorneys, it’s our job to consider your well-being in its entirety. We thoroughly assess your circumstances and then work with you to choose the strategy that fits you best from a full spectrum of dispute resolution options.

In Litigation, No One Wins
Emotionally and financially, litigation takes an enormous toll on everyone involved. We do our best to minimize that toll and only take actions on your behalf that don’t make your conflicts worse. Picturing your life after a divorce is not easy at first. There are numerous decisions, and it is difficult to imagine what your life will be like when your family is no longer together. Since 1993, we have been helping clients get through divorce and custody cases while preserving their relationships, dignity, and finances. Please speak with us to learn how we may be able to assist you.
