Mr. Mohink is very passionate and serious about his work. He is always on time for hearings and trials. He promptly shares any documents with me so that I am completely up to date on the case. He answered all my concerns in a timely manner so I was never left in the dark. It was an extremely difficult case, and reunification with my son initially seemed hopeless. However with his support and actions, not only did reunification happen after a year, but the whole case ended shortly after. I would recommend Mr. Mohink to anyone who needs a reliable and professional attorney.

My husband was confident in your professional abilities just after meeting for the first time. I can’t begin to express the gratitude and appreciation for representing a challenging case with: poise, expert knowledge, kindness, keeping everyone well informed, and bringing a smile during a seemly dark time. Todd is the total package.
Thank you.

These Five Stars are the symbolic representation of Todd guiding you through the darkest days of your life.
I hired Todd a year ago. After a difficult year fighting to gain hours, Todd was a rockstar in the court room and gained days of parenting time.
I am highly grateful and could not possibly recommend Todd’ office more.

Kelley was my second attorney in Maryland during my divorce after I had to fire my first attorney. My first experience with a family law attorney did not go well; I was very guarded after having to fire my first attorney and my expectations were not high. Kelley completely turned around this view for me. She was competent, professional, hard working, and advocated for my rights. My divorce was heading in the wrong direction and she brought this back in line for me. The court decides what is fair, but Kelley was able to craft my separation agreement into something that I felt favorable about. I definitely believe I am flourishing today, and part of that was with her help. Highly recommend her.

Facing a divorce can be daunting, scary and stressful – it certainly was for me – and finding the right lawyer is absolutely crucial when you need to work out a solution that works when you find yourself in a place in life where you hardly can think straight for yourself.
I consider myself very lucky to have found Kelley after a lengthy search. Trusting her to represent me in my divorce proved to be one of the best decisions I made.
I would describe Kelley as a no-nonsense, straight to the point, extremely knowledgeable and professional divorce lawyer. At the same time she is a strong negotiator who finds creative solutions to hammer out agreements that work. On top of everything she has very good people skills so no matter how much I stressed she was there for me and helped me to stay in perspective – and most important not to lose my sanity!
Best of all she is extremely affordable. That combined with taking care of all my worries ensured I could sleep at night knowing that I was in the best hands possible. I can’t be more grateful to have had such a wonderful professional in my corner.

No matter where you are in your search for a lawyer, add Kelley to the list of lawyers you must speak with before choosing one. She has my highest possible recommendation. From day one, she represented the very best that could be hoped for in a family lawyer. She was the fifth lawyer I spoke to, and the only one to actually listen. She was the only one to make recommendations that were focused on what I was hoping to achieve, not simply on defense. Where other lawyers were certain I would lose, her modern sensibilities quickly overcame any concerns as a single father, and her case experience and familiarity with the Anne Arundel courts allowed her to navigate the case in a way that gave me the best opportunity for success. In two court appearances, she was proactive, tenacious, and her preparation, professionalism, and deep understanding of the law won the day. She billed fairly, was a patient and engaged guide through every step, and was honest and up front about all aspects. She never lost sight of the fact I was a person, not just a client. She was considerate, responsive to time-sensitive questions and issues, and made sure I was not being taken advantage of. I consider myself fortunate to have had her represent me, and the other positive feedback that lead me to her consistently tells the same story. She is quite simply a superlative lawyer.

Frank Gray is exactly the type of lawyer you want to represent you and guide you through the legal system. Mr. Gray genuinely listened to me, answered all of my questions, and made me feel validated in my needs. I would highly recommend Mr. Gray to anyone in need of his services. He is a superb lawyer, provides timely and excellent feedback, and is a trustworthy professional. I'm so glad I chose him to represent me and would continue to use his services if needed.

Mr. Gray and the people in this office went above and beyond what I was expecting. They were very knowledgeable, had answers to all of my questions, and helped me get through what's normally up to a 45 day process in just 11 days. I will recommend them to friends and family.

Attorney Gray was hired to handle my divorce proceedings a year ago. He is an honest, trustworthy professional who will treat you with respect and dignity. In the past I had problems with divorce lawyers handling my case. I would have to stay on top of them by calling and repeatavly ask how my case is going to be handled. When I walked into Attorney Gray's office, it was inviting and relaxing. He approached my case with urgency and produced multiple angels on how to resolve any issues his opposition threw our way. I will never look again for another attorney
because I know I would not find another professional with the qualities Attorney Frank Gray possesses. Thank y
ou to you and your team!

He was outstanding in every way possible. I was desperate for help & had to fire my old attourney on a Friday evening. I started searching for another attourney (this was now Saturday). On Sunday, Eric called me ( from his office) & took my case. My old attourney accomplished nothing in 3 months, & Eric got me a fair outcome, & closed the divorce in just 3 weeks! Absolutely an amazing job from a terrific & accomplished attourney, and person.

I used Eric to handle my divorce matter last year. He was phenomenal! He listened to my concerns, always returned phone calls and explained the legal issues in a way I would understand. He also handled the dissolution of my business and is very knowledgeable about corporate issues. The firm's staff is great and always helpful. I would recommend Eric to anyone who needs a great attorney!

Clarissa was extremely understanding and patient with me during my peace order and divorce filings. She walked through each step as we went along and submitted filings to the court quickly. I was anxious throughout the process but felt comfortable knowing she was taking care of business. Don't sleep on this woman, she gets it done in the courtroom with confidence and integrity.

Joe got me out of my shattered marriage about 20 years ago. Not only that, but I got custody of the kids and their mother was on the hook for child support. He was recommended to me by a co-worker whose husband got out of a previous marriage thanks to Joe. He was honest, upfront, and tenacious working on my behalf. I was very comfortable working with him. Joe was economical using his time and his bills were reasonable and scrupulously detailed. His work was worth every penny paid him. I thank Joe again and hope things are going well for him. My kids are grown now, but thanks to Joe's work, when they were little I always knew where they would lay their heads of a night.

David Putzi was one of the best legal experiences I have ever had. I had what was thought to be a straightforward peace order hearing that turned into chaos with Multiple opposing lawyers and appeals. David remained calm and kept me updated along every step of the way. I am certain, no other defense attorney could have gotten me the result that David got me. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND for anyone that is looking for a Fair, Thorough, Confident and Calm attorney David Putzi is your guy!

THE WORST LAW FIRM.... PERIOD!!!!
ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS $$$$....
Do yourself a favor, if your case is in Ocean City, hire Richard Brueckner, he's the REAL DEAL!!! Richard had my case dismissed and called me back immediately every single time.
This is the convo I had with Tom, the owner, after the required $1K deposit:
1. When am I getting the remainder $1,500?
2. I do not have much time here, so I can't be on the phone too long.
3. With this Trump decision, I really have to get going!!
The facts say it all.... they are all about the money.... took forever to hear back from them, and costed me $750 for a less than 15 minute phone call!!
THEY DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.... THEY TOOK THE MONEY AND RUN....
TOTAL WASTE OF TIME & MONEY !!
BEWARE......

I have nothing but praises for Attorney Joseph LaMore. After a few consultations with other attorneys, I knew I didn’t need to search any further after meeting with Mr. LaMore. I was impressed with the research he had done on the case prior to our meeting. Mr. LaMore’s investigation of the facts in the case was extremely thorough. He viewed over 20 hours of videos and honed in on inconsistencies in the statements of witnesses. Mr. LaMore’s preparedness for trial was impressive. He was tenacious in his negotiation. As a result, he achieved a very favorable outcome. I would highly recommend Joseph LaMore as an attorney.

Mr. LaMore is a fantastic lawyer. He is responsive, well-versed, and from the start was committed to achieving the best possible resolution to my case. Walked me through what would happen, what he would do, what I needed to do, what would happen if I didn't do what I needed to do--he is someone you want in your corner. When I called, I'd be patched through to him immediately. If he wasn't there, I'd hear from him ASAP. All charges ended up getting dropped. Go Joe!!!

Mr. Joseph LaMore was very professional and patient during my divorce process. He returned my phone calls and emails immediately. Just one example of his ability to get the truth out of someone, he will ask a question in a different way until he hears what the response should be. After I went in for the initial interview with him, my thought was "I would not want to be the one on the other end of his questioning, I want him on my side". He did a great job for me. The office, him, and staff were all neat, clean, organized, and very professional. I have been in sales the largest part of my live and have always thought the best compliment someone can pay me is they refer their family to me. Without a doubt, I would refer my children, family, and friends to him for any legal issues they could have.

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.
Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?
Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
- Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
- Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.
- Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.
- Domestic violence or restraining orders: If you're a victim of domestic violence or being falsely accused, a lawyer can help you obtain or challenge protective orders.
- Paternity cases: If there are questions about the paternity of a child, a lawyer can help establish or dispute legal fatherhood.
Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.
What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?
A family law lawyer provides a wide range of services depending on your specific legal needs. Their responsibilities may include:
- Advising on legal rights and options: Helping you understand your legal rights regarding divorce, child custody, support, and other family law issues.
- Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
- Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
- Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.
- Enforcing court orders: Helping you enforce court orders related to child support, alimony, or custody if the other party fails to comply.
- Drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: Creating agreements that protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
- Handling adoption proceedings: Ensuring that the legal process of adoption is followed, from filing paperwork to finalizing the adoption in court.
How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.
How Much Does a Family Law Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a family law lawyer varies based on factors such as the lawyer's experience, the location, and the complexity of your case. Here are some general cost guidelines:
- Hourly rates: Family law lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
- Retainers: For more complex matters, such as contested divorces or custody battles, lawyers may charge a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. The lawyer will bill against the retainer for the work they do on your case.
- Additional costs: You may also be responsible for additional costs, such as filing fees, mediation fees, or expert witness fees.
Always ask for a clear breakdown of the lawyer’s fees and any additional expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
