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.

Maria Mckenna and her team provided me with sound legal advice . More importantly , the whole process was compassionate and thought provoking. There are a lot of " what if's" that are part of the estate planning process and Maria and her team covered them all. Maria is youthful in appearance but has over twenty years of experience. I am glad that she still has a long career ahead of her and that my eventual estate won't be turned over to another person whom I never met. She will take of my family and that gives me a feeling of peace.

Nicole Livingston and her team prepared comprehensive estate documents that will give me, and my family, peace of mind. The process was seamless and accomplished efficiently. Nicole was extremely easy to work with. She listened to my wishes, responded quickly to my questions, and provided valuable advice. I was anxious initially, but that was alleviated in our first conversation. I'm grateful for her knowledge and expertise, but mostly for the thoughtful and caring way that she and her team led me through this process.

I hired Ms Scherr to determine what needed to be done with Veteran's Administration benefits my mother just started receiving. She made the determination to open a First Maryland Disability Trust to administer the initial benefit disbursement. Both Ms. Scherr and her paralegal, Ashley Keim were incredibly responsive and knowledgeable. The Trust was set up very quickly. and with absolutely no problems. I highly recommend Kandace Scherr!

Choosing Kandace Scherr to help me with my mother's transition to nursing home and Medicaid application was an easy decision. From our first meeting, I felt confident and comfortable with her advice and plan of action. Professional and compassionate, Kandace made what could have been a nightmare for me into a seamless process with excellent results. Would highly recommend.

13 Mar, 2019 by Melanie

Kandace has been a life-saver for our family. Years ago she took on my mother's messy estate, and recently she completed wills, power-of-attorney, advanced directives for my husband and I. She is incredibly thorough, and an expert on estate law & planning for elders. We have often sought her opinions. Also, she is very compassionate when discussing sensitive issues. I would not hesitate to fully recommend Kandace.

I work with his assistant who completes the incomprehensible forms. His office is easy to access. Phone calls are answered. emails might take one day. A great office!

Brien is very prompt in communicating and has shown genuine concern for my case. He answered my phone call personally, met with me the very next business day, and got to work immediately after consultation. Speaking from personal experience, he’s not just trying to make money off people. Finding a lawyer that has the experience and expertise to navigate my real estate dispute has been a godsend. No one wants to have to hire a lawyer—but I can assure you, he is the one you want if you do need one.

Had a will, power of attorney and medical directive prepared by SBWD. They were professional, responsive, and friendly. They communicated very efficiently and prepared the documents in great detail and forethought. They were sensitive to the nature of the conversations that needed to be had and new all the answers to our questions. Jacob was extremely patient and explained everything down to the letter while keeping things simple. Just a great experience. I would recommend the firm for any legal needs one could have.

My husband and I were referred to Lawyer Solomon when our immigration case looked like a no-win case. Our former lawyer stylishly removed herself. Other lawyers we found told us there was no way out and that the only option we had was to go back home or remain undocumented. We were stuck! Lawyer Solomon is not just a lawyer but a compassionate angel saddled with the purpose of helping the helpless. So far, I am a witness that with God and lawyer Solomon on your case, your chance of winning is high!!!! He boldly took up our case and proffered solutions. The process was a bit long but it was worth it at the end of the day. We won and it was like a dream! May God continue to bless Lawyer Caleb Solomon and his team. I will also thank Sia his assistant, for taking interest in our case, and with her joyous smile coached me into victory. Yomi the receptionist was always prompt in picking calls, he answered courteously and professionally each time I called. Every member of staff is amazing in one way or the other. I look forward to working with you again on any legal matter. I highly recommend Solomon Law Center to all. A million stars rating for you Lawyer Solomon. Thank you.

Let me start off by saying this law office isn’t a law office more like a family they will walk you through every step help you in anyway possible everyone from Mr Sherwood to all his associates I first met bill at the courthouse during a custody case I was fighting and he jumped right up said calm down we got this and when he said that I looked at him and I could tell he was being honest and was going to be there if it wasn’t for him and the team all stepping up my family wouldn’t be whole and they have helped us accomplish that this is one lawyer all single dads should contact! They’re amazing I been using them for years and won’t stop for any case I may need I know they have my back. So for that I say thank you to everyone at fans law group for doing everything in you’re power to keep helping us and for being more like family then a lawyers office and helping everyone not sweat the small stuff and look for the big picture they have a amazing team from ones that know the laws like back of they’re hands to ones who know how to represent you for anything.

This law firm is absolutely the best. I had two situations very important an Mr.Sherwood was magnificent.

Bill and his associates are a great team! I was very skeptical of this attorney at first, simply because I had a horrible experience with a previous lawyer. Bill and his team were able to deal with that lawyer, plus solve every dilemma I presented them with. Bill has stayed with me through all of the obstacles of my case, as he always promised. He has continued to be fair, understanding, and true throughout the entire journey. I've dealt with many lawyers and none of them measure up to this law firm. 100% satisfied with the service and accommodations this law firm extended my way.

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.

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.

When we had a car accident where the other motorist was at fault but we were struggling with the insurance company, Scott and his staff were wonderful in getting us the compensation we deserved. His secretary Stacie even helped find the other motorists insurance company when we thought they were uninsured. His other support staff (Gabbie and Anna) were also exceptionally helpful. I would definitely come back, but hopefully I won’t need to. I recommend Scott highly to anyone looking for a personal injury attorney.

Worked with Michael and Stella. They are great, knowledgeable, prompt. Will use them again for any future need. I was nervous about what I was going for and my mind was eased the first visit. They also have two cute pups judge and jury which make visiting the office a little sweeter 🦮🩵

Dealing with Frame and Frame was a wonderful experience, during a stressful time. I contacted Tara to look at my parent's life estate paperwork, which has concerned them for a while, due to health issues. She completed this in a timely and precise manner. From start to finish, everyone at the office, including Tara, were a pleasure to deal with. My wife and I will be using them for our estate planning as soon as possible.

I was very pleased with our meeting, the efficiency of service, and the knowledge and consideration of Ms. Frame. Rachel went out her way to meet the special needs of the situation and was very helpful with preparation for the meeting..

I highly recommend Tara Frame and her associates. I wanted an attorney who could understand my concerns and help me to understand the impact of the actions I was taking. I also wanted someone who was competent and knowledgeable. Ms. Frame satisfied those requirements completely, and was also confident in her approach to the resolution of difficult legal concerns, another valuable characteristic. She has assisted me with estate planning and real estate title matters over the last 2 years. The problems were extensive, and there were 3 properties in 3 states. Through it all, she was competent, professional, and helpful in providing advice and guidance to me. Her legal experience helped to ensure that my legal matters were resolved effectively, and she was very thorough in her review of all of my concerns. She made sure that I knew all of my options and how each would affect my personal situation. I have complete confidence in her answers to any of my questions. It's one thing to recommend her to the general public, but I even recommended her to my family members and one is planning to use her services this summer. I felt very comfortable with Ms. Frame handling my legal affairs and again, I highly recommend her----she is my "attorney of choice."
