Vance is a no non-sense, straight to the point type of attorney. He was very upfront with me on my child custody case. He thoroughly explained all the possible options (good or bad) that we could face in my case. He was very proactive the entire way so that we could get ahead of things, in case, we were caught off guard by any loopholes. In court, his demeanor is all business which gave me a sense of confidence and gratitude that he was on my side. I was able to get all the custody arrangements/modifications that I requested and a bogus child support order thrown out by the judge. If you're looking for an attorney that puts the Armour shield on for you, Vance is a great choice...

Before I hired Mr. Vance Redmond, I was with an attorney who was giving me the worst advice/guidance and as a result, it was hurting my case. Worst of all, the first attorney I hired only cared about getting paid; she did not care about my case as I was just another client. I reviewed many lawyers online and found Mr. Vance Redmond, who received great reviews - It is definitely true what they say about him! Mr. Vance Redmond was honest from the start. He informed me that my case was difficult, but he will try his best to ensure that I have a chance to win my case. He also gave me options and reasoning behind each strategic move he proposes. As he assured me that the choices are mine to make, the reasoning behind each strategic move is important as it helped me decide the best action to take. In addition, he communicates effectively. He responds back right away to all my calls, voice mails, and emails. It’s definitely reassuring that you would get an answer during emergencies and he is with you every step of the way. Most importantly, he is a lawyer that cares about your case! His main focus was not the money, but how can he win the case for you! I definitely appreciate his hard work and effort. It really made a difference in ways that I can never thank him enough for. Vance Redmond gave me a voice in a way the court system would hear me. At the end, I have custody of my son, which is priceless!

Vance was the second attorney I had to hire. My first one didn't get the results I was looking for and the costs seemed like it was never ending. I was stressed, worried and ten million other emotions I am sure plenty of others are familiar with. This ended up being an out of state case, since we were both relocating and had planned on it. My initial conversation with Vance gave me a glimmer of hope. He was direct, up front and answered any questions I had. The follow up was quick and I was never left lingering in line with a number. The objective was to keep in mind the best interest of a minor, and through the entire process we stuck to it. This was my first time being in court, my nerves were shot, but once Vance got up to represent me I knew I made the best decision in this entire process. He knows what he's doing, and I needed someone that wasn't passive, wasn't reserved, I needed a firm direct voice and I got it with Vance. I would never wish this process on anyone, it's a pain, and when all parties just can't seem to get on the same page it feels like an impossible mission. I didn't think I would see the light at the end of the tunnel, I was scared, worried about my little one and what would be his fate in all of this, but no matter what I was feeling, I always knew I could reach out to Vance and ask anything I felt uncertain about. Vance will continue to remind you through your process that you can go to him with any questions, and will ask you if there is anything unclear he needs to explain further. If you want someone direct, professional and honest you will get that with Vance.

Vance was very professional during the entire process of the divorce proceedings for me. He explained thoroughly the issues, consequences and the process of obtaining an absolute divorce in the state of MD. He helped during the mediation process and served as a knowledgeable resource during this process. Most of my goals in this process were met and I would definitely recommend him to others seeking his services.

I hired Vance to help with visitation and financial issues between me and my ex regarding my 11 year old son. I, mistakenly, did not hire an attorney when we divorced 6 years ago and got into a very one-sided agreement where I was not getting a fair deal. (If only I had hired Vance then!) When overnight visitations were supposed to start at age 10, my ex refused the change and insisted I take her to court. Around that time, my income also decreased by 75%. It was an ugly case with my ex falsely accusing me of everything from drug abuse to pornography addiction, doing and saying anything she could think of to keep me from having the time I deserved with my son. She also tried to say that I owed her an astronomical sum of money based on various erroneous clauses in our original child support agreement. Vance was always very upfront, honest, and realistic about exactly how he thought a judge would rule on the case, if it went to trial. He gave me some good feedback that were wake-up calls that I needed to know/hear to ensure we were on the right track throughout the process. His goal was always to avoid trial, keep my costs low, and settle out of court on on both fronts. Unfortunately, my ex and her lawyer did not have that same goal and we ended up in trial for the financial piece, going through 2 days of trial, then settling anyway. When it came down to it, everything turned out exactly how Vance predicted it would and I "won". I came out of the situation with a MUCH better child support agreement (a Flat amount that includes everything; no CPI increase, no more nickle-and-diming me for various expenses each month, etc) and was able to remove most of the horrible financial clauses I signed up for in the original agreement. I agreed to pay my ex a much smaller sum of money and wiped the slate clean. Best of all, though, I finally got my overnight visitation - every other weekends, vacation time, and holidays with my son. Vance stood by me the entire time and really fought for my rights - even when there were times I just wanted to give up out of sheer exhaustion of the ordeal. He was almost as angry as I was, at times, with my ex's behavior, her lies in court and accusations against me. Not only did he help with the court/legal proceedings but always provided advice on how to respond/react when my ex was ranting over email or causing other problems. He's phenomenal in court and has a no-nonsense, succinct, to-the-point approach the the Maryland Masters/Judges really seemed to appreciate - especially when compared to my ex's overly-detailed, disorganized, and verbose attorney. A month later, even though the case and the books are closed, Vance has still been willing to help and provide advice with some issues that have come up related to visitation and child support. I believe that is a testament to the commitment he has to his clients. I'd highly recommend Vance Redmond as an attorney for a child support and/or visitation/custody case.

From the beginning of this divorce, Vance had a thorough understanding of divorce law in MD and was able to successfully help me through this very trying process of divorce. He was accurate as to the process, and the outcome. He is level headed and represented me with confidence and professionalism. Thank you Vance

While I certainly hope that I do not require Mr. Redmond's services in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to retain his legal assistance again should the need arise. He was informative, responsive and what I most appreciated, he will not beat around the bush. He is straightforward while maintaining a professional demeanor. Unfortunately I was under a time constraint. While he acted immediately and drew up the necessary paper work he did not fail to explain any potential scenarios that could arise which would delay the divorce from being granted. Two other attorneys I interviewed guaranteed my deadline will be met with no hesitation, I knew this was a promise that could not be 100%. Mr. Redmond knew this as well thus prepared me of potential situations that could occur. My questions were always answered clearly and I never felt like I did not know what was going on with my case. I am positive he went above and beyond to help me meet my deadline. He is experienced and knows divorce law, and I could easily tell from my hearing that he has earned the respect he deserves as a lawyer for divorce and family law.

I received more information from Vance in a free consultation than previous attorneys. He looked up my case and informed me of the divorce process and asked questions that helped guide me on how to move forward before I hired him. Vance was always responsive to my emails even late nights and weekends. He was non emotional, clear in his communication and stayed focussed on the facts and not the drama. Compared to my previous council I felt secure and confident that Vance had my best interest in mind. I have worked with other attorneys involving my husbands previous wife , they were not as informative as Vance. It has been a hard road for me and it is not over. If needed in the future Vance will be my first choice as council.

A friend gave me Vance's contact information and I am so thankful he did. I retained Vance during a critical time in my case after having a really bad experience with my first attorney. Vance handled my custody agreement, contempt order and my divorce. He made himself readily available and worked quickly and smoothly to transition the case from my previous lawyer to him. He was informative and responded quickly to requests for information and assistance. I was reassured many times during endless stressful situations by Vance's quick e-mail responses. This was the most stressful and awful time of my life and I was lucky to have a lawyer who I could depend on. I made sure he knew what I wanted and he made sure to advocate accordingly for me. Vance always did a great job of listening and helped navigate me through the mess of the court system. He is a true professional and always speaks and dresses accordingly. He was aggressive and persistent when we needed to be and patient and calm when needed. Vance did a great job of working with me to provide me as much information as I requested and keeping me informed about everything . He listens and was also respectful of my time and money and that is rare to find in the sea of attorneys. Vance helped me stay involved without losing anything. He brought justice to me and my family and there is nothing more I can ask for.
