Regina's straightforward approach was exactly what I needed during such a challenging time. She wasted no time in getting to the heart of the matter, providing clear guidance and advice every step of the way. Her no-nonsense attitude combined with her wealth of experience instilled in me a sense of confidence and reassurance throughout the entire process.
What impressed me most about Regina was her ability to navigate the complexities of my case with ease. It was evident that she possessed a deep understanding of family law and a keen eye for detail. Her strategic thinking and proactive approach ensured that my interests were always prioritized.
But beyond her legal prowess, Regina demonstrated genuine compassion and empathy towards me as her client. She took the time to listen to my concerns and address any questions I had, making me feel heard and supported throughout the entire ordeal.

Morgan Leigh counseled me during my application for the Maryland Handgun Qualification License (HQL) application process. With her assistance I was able to successfully navigate the Maryland HQL process resulting in an approval of my application. My case was complicated due to a prior (40 year) old out of state run in with the law at the tender age of 19. With Morgan's advice and counsel I was able to confidently approach the process with a much-needed understanding of case law addressing my regulated firearm status in Maryland. I would add that Maryland State Police were also helpful and the process was very smooth. Morgan has created YouTube content that addresses many aspects of Maryland and DC gun Law. Based on my requirements I consider her one of the best gun lawyers in the state of Maryland. I would highly recommend her services in the area of 2nd amendment and Maryland Firearm law.

A friend recommended Suzanne and I decided amongst many other attorneys to give her a try, and I’m telling you, I’m so glad I did. She did not disappoint. My interactions with her were very pleasant from the beginning till the end. She was kind, very thorough and extremely responsive. These are definitely qualities you need when going through difficult family situations. If you need a family attorney, look no further, trust me, you will not regret it!

This lawyer firm, including Hadrian and Allison, went above and beyond to ensure my divorce was as painless and peaceful as possible. They explained the process thoroughly, provided realistic options for my and my ex to consider, and processed all the paperwork so quickly. Never would I have imagined my divorce going as smoothly as it did or enjoying working with a law firm as much as I did S.P.H. They were also very mindful to keep conversations and task completion as brief as possible to avoid charging me extra hours! I highly, highly recommend this firm for your family legal needs and would 100% work with them again.

Rand represented me for custody modification I initiated at behest of my daughter. Her request was not without merit. Her mother was reported to Child Protective Services (CPS) by per pediatrician for gross physical abuse, when she was five. Her elementary, middle school, & high school counselors raised concerns regarding suicidal thoughts; in high school she experienced two severe crises. Six months after initiating modification, after discussions with her court-appointed attorney and social worker, my daughter indicated to me she no longer wanted to leave her mother. I duly directed my attorney to withdraw modification. This is what occurred next 18 months afterwards.
On multiple occasions, during private meetings, Rand assumed theatrically juvenile conspiratorial demeanor, stating special relationships with court officials, calling them with me present, attempting to obtain special case scheduling, judge assignment, etc, favoring my case; frequently discussed relationships with court judges; rarely engaging substantive, knowledgeable legal analysis. Over three pre-hearing conferences, lasting multiple hours each billable time, Rand was mute, neither offering constructive negotiation terms nor steering discussion to constructive basis in response to opposing attorney’s wild allegations. After conferences concluded, Rand expressed theatrical outrage and frustration with opposing attorney conduct.
In third conference, during private discussion, Rand accused me of launching numerous lawsuits as basis for current lengthy negotiations. Unclear how Rand arrived at his opinion. Over 11-year period, ex-wife filed: three protective orders, all of which were denied, dismissed, or withdrawn; numerous interim motions during pendente lite & divorce trials alleging various medical issues, all of which withdrawn after contradicting medical evidence; awarded generous custody & child support, only to lose all after appealing demanding more; pursued 5 back-to-back lawsuits starting two weeks after divorce ruling, all dismissed by summary judgement or denied. Pursued 7 new cases seeking sole custody & child support, all withdrawn, dismissed, or denied; twice sanctioned by Court to pay attorney fees for frivolous litigation. Rand never introduced to court her extensive litigation history; CPS history; violent confrontation with daughter’s psychologist; contempt for failing to pay child support; or court frequently finding her statements not credible. Rand should have known this history: he represented me for most of it.
At final hearing, Rand and opposing attorney held private conference with judge in chamber. After nearly three hours, attorneys and judge returned, and judge granted my request submitted 18 months previously. No open hearing, no open discussion or arguments. Never experienced such a stunt in 15 years litigation involving far more technical legal issues. After court adjourned, Rand abruptly indicated urgent need to leave, assuming theatrically juvenile demeanor and stating it was “dangerous” to remain.
Two years later, I received obvious phishing email from Rand, followed soon after by second email from him apologizing and stating he had been hacked. The apology email remarkably included private email addresses of 424 business members; local, state, and federal government officials; court officials; and private individuals.
Rand’s demeanor, though frequently theatrical with respect to describing opposing attorneys, was always courteous and polished towards me – something that fooled me for some time until his last case representing me, when his antics finally became obvious.
Rand’s juvenile focus on impressions over substance, indiligence, credulous acceptance of opposing attorney statements, willful ignorance, & extreme profiteering greatly wasted time and money far more productively applied to daughter’s therapy and college education.

Our family chooses Horman Nichols for all our legal services. I’ve known Marshall and Andy for many years, and they are candid, caring, ethical attorneys. It’s always pleasant dealing with them and the rest of the team!
My husband and I have each, unfortunately, been in auto accidents recently that were caused by other drivers. In both situations, Andy Nichols got the maximum allowable settlements for us! He and his team communicated with us each step of the way to let us know the status of the case and what to expect.
Marshall Horman has also been great caring for our estate planning needs and questions. I recommend Horman Nichols for all your legal needs!

No need to go with a "big" name when you can get quality services from people in your neighborhood. I highly recommend them.

Adam made the closing process incredibly easy. Prior to my closing, Peak Settlements was very communicative, ensuring I had all the necessary documents, signatures, and information. They were responsive through emails, moved quickly, and answered all of my questions. Adam checked in with me prior to the closing and made sure I was all set with everything that I needed to have, including knowing exactly where I was going. During the closing itself, Adam had all the necessary paperwork ready and organized and as a first time homebuyer, he went through all the items carefully with me making sure that I understood everything I was signing and encouraged me to reach out if I had any additional questions. He moved through the documents efficiently and created a welcoming and jovial environment that made the whole process easy. I would recommend Peak Settlements and Adam to anyone and everyone.

He has a great knowledge of the law and he is an aggressive litigator on behalf of his clients.

If I were accused of a crime or needed any other type of legal service, I would hire Justin Eisele! I highly recommend the Seddiq Law Firm.

Carol was the first lawyer I ever hired. She was truly interested in my case and compassionate. Making the decision to divorce someone you still care about is hard enough, and not knowing what to expect compounds the situation. When I would get tearful, Carol was very support and inquired as to why I was emotional and would talk with me about why I wanted the divorce in the first place which helped me stay focused and keep my wits about me. She made the process of my divorce easy. I was glad to have her by my side. Thank you, Carol!

I want to say thank you Mr. Koslow. Before your services, I fighting a losing battle trying to get custody of my son but with your help, I was finally granted custody. I appreciate your honesty and counsel during my custody battle and most importantly I value that you do not beat around the bush and give the information as it is.
Mr. Koslow does not waste time and will not waste yours. He is reasonable with his price, and I say it was worth every penny.

Attorney Redmond did an excellent job in my case winning a contempt of court petition on my ex who willfully withheld my access to our child and made my child and me go through intense anguish. Mr. Redmond had excellent court presence and was very well prepared with questions, evidence and objections. He knew the law. The court also placed sanctions on my ex and granted me attorney's fees. A huge victory during a very difficult time. I thank God for bringing this attorney to me during a time of crisis. The best attorney I have had in 9 years.

Dave was my lawyer in a modification of child custody and visitation case. From the moment I spoke to him, I felt that I was in good hands. He sprang to action on short notice for an initial hearing and continued to be responsive and communicative throughout the entire journey. His grace and integrity are unparalleled. He helped me maintain perspective, answered all my questions, and informed me of all realistic possibilities. He’s steady, patient and calm – but also, strong and fierce in an understated way. Thanks to Dave, my children know that I will always stand up for them and that they can have faith in the justice system. I highly recommend Dave to anyone dealing with a child custody case and I would hire him again in a heartbeat if the need ever arises again.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Michael Gast as my fiancé's legal representative during a trial, and I cannot express enough how impressed we were with his professionalism and dedication. From start to finish, Michael was prompt in his communication and highly proficient in getting the other party to respond, which made the entire process much smoother. What stood out the most was Michael's commitment to fully representing his client. He went above and beyond to ensure that my fiancé's interests were prioritized, demonstrating a level of care and diligence that is truly commendable. We wholeheartedly recommend Michael to anyone in need of legal representation and will definitely seek his services again in the future. Thank you, Michael, for your unwavering support and expertise!

I have hired Mike as my attorney 3 times. First for a divorce/custody case when I was in my early 20's. Once for a Custody case while in my early 30's. And this last case that just finalized for a divorce from an all but 17 year marriage. The most recent one lasted almost 2 years, because the court system is still so far behind on cases. My now ex decided to bring his "girlfriend" into our home, with me and our children there. Mike was very professional, empathetic, and aggressive when needed. Each time I hired him, he explained everything, all of the possibilities of outcomes, what I should do to keep my kids and myself safe and protected. I am disabled and currently fighting for disability, my ex was claiming that I wasn't disabled because he didn't want to pay me alimony. Mike got me in contact with James Sullivan, a Vocational expert to speak with my Doctors and be a expert witness. Doing that got me alimony, and saved me thousands of dollars because I didn't have to hire one of my doctors as a expert witness which is crazy expensive. Without Mike and his Knowledge of the laws, I don't know what I would of done. I highly recommend Mike Gast to anyone looking for a great, affordable, easy to work with attorney.

I welcome this opportunity to convey by boundless and enthusiastic endorsement of Yosef Kuperman. I do so without reservation.
This endorsement is not casually tendered. It is based on contacts with Yosef regarding an important legal matter.
My impression was that he is profoundly knowledgeable, and he has added new insight to the discussions that I have had with him concerning the law.
For the time I have known him, I have had ample opportunity to evaluate his motivation, ethics and his commitment to excellence. I have evaluated those qualities which I think predict success in the practice of law.
Yosef displays exceptional analytical powers and reasoning ability. He has independence of thought reflecting creativity, imagination and originality. Yosef has excellent communication skills. He has persistence, self-discipline and resourcefulness. Of prime importance is this man’s mature judgement and ethical character.
Yosef possesses the vigor, talent and the intellect in his practice of law. I find him outstanding, charismatic and unique. Yosef is extremely pleasant, impeccably courteous, yet self-assertive and eager to listen and exchange points of view in a calm, reasonable manner, without a hint of ostentatiousness. It is my judgement that this assessment is accurate and that anyone will benefit who retains this kind and considerate lawyer.
To assist your evaluation of his qualities and talents, I have carefully, yet unsuccessfully sought to address Mr. Kuperman’s limitations. After carefully considering this matter, I have concluded that, in the context that I have known him, no limitations exist.
I appreciate the opportunity to comment on this truly exceptional lawyer.

I hired Michael for two cases in Anne Arundel County and won them both! Both cases went to trial. Most noticeably during the second case, Michael was very direct with his cross examination. He was great at presenting the facts in my case that ultimately won the case. I would definitely recommend hiring Mike for your case! A job well done!

I would like to say a million times "thank you" to Mr. Michael Danels for being my attorney and getting me through my divorce. I hired another attorney, and he could not get the job done. I also consulted with another attorney and was insulted; however, Mr. Danels was straight to the point and EXCEEDED my expectations. He is honest, straight to the point and truly cares about his client’s well-being.
Thank you, thank you and thank you Mr. Danels. Of course, my thank you extends to your wonderful staff.
As a single mother, I am divorced and have sole custody of my children.

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.
