I have been practicing family law for over 40 years, and have helped over 3,000 people through this often difficult process. I handle all aspects of separation and divorce, including mediation, negotiations and litigation of simple and complex cases. I work on child custody, visitation and child support cases, divorces involving significant marital assets and division of property and pensions, alimony, and even pet visitation. My approach is to work hard to solve your problems, but not necessarily to "punish" the other side. I want you to finish the process knowing that the outcome was "fair" and you dealt with things "honorably". My hourly rates are at the high end for Frederick County, because of my experience and reputation. However, I also rely on less expensive associate attorneys (with "only" 5 - 7 years of experience) to "build" your case while I serve as the "architect" doing the planning and strategic work that my experience and knowledge bring to the table. The bottom line is that my final bill is ususally much lower than the other attorney's is, even though they may charge less per hour than I do.
