That won't happen to me, I said. I am not of that race, nationality, or ethnicity, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I don’t practice that religion, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I’m not of that sexual orientation, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I’m not part of that income bracket, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I don’t have that disability, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, until it was physically in my face, had me backed into a corner, and was spewing utter vitriol at me. That won't happen to me, I said, he'd never lay a hand on me, until one day the physical aggression caused me physical pain and injury. That won’t happen to me, I said, until thirteen months ago, when I found myself on the phone with a domestic violence hotline. That won’t happen to me, I said, until thirteen months ago, when I found myself hurriedly packing a bag and fleeing my home, and boarding an aircraft out of state, because I feared for my life and safety. Fifty years ago, when my mother and her family escaped their war-torn country with nothing but the clothes on their backs and one bag per person due to religious persecution, I never imagined that one day, fifty years into the future, that I too would one day find myself following in her footsteps, quite literally.
I never imagined that I would one day find myself fleeing my home with nothing but the clothes on my back and one small carry-on bag, and boarding a same-day aircraft bound for 1,000+ miles away, because I too feared for my life and safety. Thirteen months ago, when I found myself on the phone with a local domestic violence agency in my state, I never imagined that the proverbial door would get slammed in my face, on the basis that I earned too much money to qualify for any help or support. Since I was born and raised abroad, and with my own family still living halfway around the world, it was in that moment that I truly realized, and that it genuinely sunk in, that I was going to be completely and entirely alone in the process of escaping the cycle of violence.
In 1848, divorce was practically unheard of. Most states had fault-based divorce laws outlining the requirements and criteria permitting divorce: lunacy, adultery, desertion, or cruelty. This meant that couples could only pursue divorce IF they could prove, in a court of law, that one or the other had committed one of these offenses. However, given the laws (or lack thereof) governing women's rights and freedoms at the time, divorce was far more complex for women, as they remained at risk of being unable to regain their last names, unable to retain property acquired prior to their marriage, or unable to obtain custody of their children. These fault-based grounds are in stark contrast to the no-fault system that exists across most states today. Today, after decades of tireless advocacy, and thanks to incredible attorneys like Laurie Wasserman and Virginia Yeoman, people are no longer required to remain shackled to their spouses, and have the freedom to escape the cycle of violence. Thanks to the fabulous support of Laurie and Virginia, I've not only been able to survive, but I am slowly on my way to thriving again. The words "happiness" and "divorce" are the last two words you'd expect to see in the same sentence, but that is exactly what Virginia and Laurie have facilitated for me.
For anyone considering engaging the services of Laurie Wasserman and her team, from the bottom of my heart, I wholeheartedly recommend them and their entire office. They'll not only save your life, but they will also help re-unlock your door to freedom, health, independence, and joy again.

Before I hired Martha, I was working with another attorney for my divorce process, and I just didn't feel like they were on my side and looking out for my best interests. Someone referred me to Martha White, and once I met with her, I made the decision to end my retainer agreement with my current attorney and hire Martha White. Martha White listened to me and to my concerns and what I wanted out of dissolving my marriage. She was always responsive to my calls or emails and took the time to explain things to me, so that I understood all of terms and possible outcomes of this process. I feel that she helped me reach a fair settlement and I was happy with the final settlement agreement. I wish I would have hired her in the first place. She didn't drag the process out any longer than it needed to be. I was very pleased with her representation of me in my divorce case. If I ever would have another family law issue, she would be the first attorney I would contact. You can't go wrong having Martha White as your attorney.

She didn't drag the process out any longer than it needed to be. I was very pleased with her representation of me in my divorce case. If I ever would have another family law issue, she would be the first attorney I would contact. You can't go wrong having Martha White as your attorney.

That won't happen to me, I said. I am not of that race, nationality, or ethnicity, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I don’t practice that religion, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I’m not of that sexual orientation, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I’m not part of that income bracket, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I don’t have that disability, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, until it was physically in my face, had me backed into a corner, and was spewing utter vitriol at me. That won't happen to me, I said, he'd never lay a hand on me, until one day the physical aggression caused me physical pain and injury. That won’t happen to me, I said, until thirteen months ago, when I found myself on the phone with a domestic violence hotline. That won’t happen to me, I said, until thirteen months ago, when I found myself hurriedly packing a bag and fleeing my home, and boarding an aircraft out of state, because I feared for my life and safety. Fifty years ago, when my mother and her family escaped their war-torn country with nothing but the clothes on their backs and one bag per person due to religious persecution, I never imagined that one day, fifty years into the future, that I too would one day find myself following in her footsteps, quite literally.
I never imagined that I would one day find myself fleeing my home with nothing but the clothes on my back and one small carry-on bag, and boarding a same-day aircraft bound for 1,000+ miles away, because I too feared for my life and safety. Thirteen months ago, when I found myself on the phone with a local domestic violence agency in my state, I never imagined that the proverbial door would get slammed in my face, on the basis that I earned too much money to qualify for any help or support. Since I was born and raised abroad, and with my own family still living halfway around the world, it was in that moment that I truly realized, and that it genuinely sunk in, that I was going to be completely and entirely alone in the process of escaping the cycle of violence.
In 1848, divorce was practically unheard of. Most states had fault-based divorce laws outlining the requirements and criteria permitting divorce: lunacy, adultery, desertion, or cruelty. This meant that couples could only pursue divorce IF they could prove, in a court of law, that one or the other had committed one of these offenses. However, given the laws (or lack thereof) governing women's rights and freedoms at the time, divorce was far more complex for women, as they remained at risk of being unable to regain their last names, unable to retain property acquired prior to their marriage, or unable to obtain custody of their children. These fault-based grounds are in stark contrast to the no-fault system that exists across most states today. Today, after decades of tireless advocacy, and thanks to incredible attorneys like Laurie Wasserman and Virginia Yeoman, people are no longer required to remain shackled to their spouses, and have the freedom to escape the cycle of violence. Thanks to the fabulous support of Laurie and Virginia, I've not only been able to survive, but I am slowly on my way to thriving again. The words "happiness" and "divorce" are the last two words you'd expect to see in the same sentence, but that is exactly what Virginia and Laurie have facilitated for me.
For anyone considering engaging the services of Laurie Wasserman and her team, from the bottom of my heart, I wholeheartedly recommend them and their entire office. They'll not only save your life, but they will also help re-unlock your door to freedom, health, independence, and joy again.

Before I hired Martha, I was working with another attorney for my divorce process, and I just didn't feel like they were on my side and looking out for my best interests. Someone referred me to Martha White, and once I met with her, I made the decision to end my retainer agreement with my current attorney and hire Martha White. Martha White listened to me and to my concerns and what I wanted out of dissolving my marriage. She was always responsive to my calls or emails and took the time to explain things to me, so that I understood all of terms and possible outcomes of this process. I feel that she helped me reach a fair settlement and I was happy with the final settlement agreement. I wish I would have hired her in the first place.

You can not trust seigel or rouhana or Cohen with your case. They will not represent you in good faith. The worst mistake of my life was hiring them. For some reason they feel entitled to just take as much money from you as they want without you even knowing. They will never tell you the truth. They work behind the scenes the entire time to damage you. They constantly have complaints filed against them and they don't even care. They are known in the industry as the firm that sells out their own clients. Do not hire them. If you already hired them, Run! You can fire them any time and get a new attorney.

If I could rate with no stars, I would. I had a case opened since June 2023 and no measurable results can be seen. The communication is terrible as far as the legal counsel goes. Every time I call to check on the status of my case, it’s like my case has just been opened and they just found out about it. My mom referred me to this law firm because she used it for workers compensation after being harmed on the job. She didn’t know that they would drag their feet on my car accident case. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this firm to others.

Absolute hands down best lawyer in Maryland. Managed to keep my boyfriend out of jail twice once in 2016 in Baltimore county once in 2024 In harford county. Prosecutors were pushing very hard and Mr. Marshall fought till the very end to ensure the best possible outcome of the case. He thoroughly looks into your case, is very understanding and empathetic to the situation, and kept In contact almost weekly until the case was finished. Don’t hesitate if you need a lawyer, call Mr. Marshall.

Every time I call to check on the status of my case, it’s like my case has just been opened and they just found out about it. My mom referred me to this law firm because she used it for workers compensation after being harmed on the job. She didn’t know that they would drag their feet on my car accident case. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this firm to others.

Waste of time! Called to speak with someone about setting up an trust for my elderly parent, and was told I had to make an appointment and bring them in. Picked them up, drove 35 minutes to the appointment only to be told we had to attend a free informational session before they would assist (!!!!) They couldn’t tell me this over the phone? What a waste of time and complete disregard for an elderly person’s wellbeing. Needless to say, we will find someone else.

It was necessary (for me at least) to have a lawyer/legal team to help guide me thru the estate process, and it made sense to use the firm that drew up my mom's estate docs. There were definitely issues (aside from the fact one of her investments was set up incorrectly - don't know if she didn't understand the instructions they gave or if they were just wrong). At the start of the process Stouffer said contact them with any questions, but I found it difficult to actually get timely (or sometimes any) answers. I would always get an email response (for billing purposes), but rarely get an answer. Sometimes they'd ask about me email on one of our scheduled calls, but those were often weeks afterwards and not timely. The biggest issue occurred when they were preparing the documents to present to the court to close the estate...there were some individual stocks discovered late in the process. I had received paperwork from the Transfer Agent that I asked if they needed; the lawyer said no -the judge doesn't usually look at that stuff. Well, this judgemdid want it and he rejected the filing. It delayed the pour-over of the estate for an additional 2 months, and Stouffer had to update the filing documents and reschedule the court date - it ONLY cost me (the estate) an additional $2000 (yes, for their error). Another note - the letters or emails accompanying their billing statements are extremely aggressive (borderline nasty). I always paid with a check from the estate promptly, and the threatening nature was uncalled for. One time a lawyer I'd never dealt with called ostensibly to ask how things were going, then quickly transitioned into asking for a credit card to pay my latest bill, which I hadn't even seen yet. (I get there are people who don't settle their bills promptly, but save the knee capping for them.) There were a couple other issues, but those above were the primary. I don't live in MD, so wouldn't have occasion to use them again, but would advise family members to look elsewhere if asked.
