We helped our son find an attorney to represent him in a divorce. Way out here in Nebraska, Ethan Dellinger was recommended. This was a painful time and process, but Ethan represented James so well and with a kind heart. Ethan moved law firms at the mid-point and we did also. Our interaction with the staff at Weinberg and Schwartz has been outstanding and we would highly recommend both Ethan and WS.

I needed a lawyer to finalize the cancellation of a final separation order/ divorce decree and to have the courts change full custody to me. It was a pretty straight forward case and when I met Amos Whitney, he did not make it seem trivial or not worth his time, He was very professional and empathetic during the process. He walked me through each step he would take and kept me updated via email when each step was completed and we were on to the next. Everything was completed quickly and there were no issues. I would definitely recommend Amos and this firm.

I would whole-heartedly recommend this family law firm to anyone going through a divorce. My initial contact was with Jolie Weinberg and when mediation was no longer an option I worked with Marni Schwartz. I really appreciated her ability to guide me through the process, protect my assets and above all ensure the safety of my daughter and I. Everyone I dealt with at the firm was helpful and kind during a difficult divorce.

I had to contact Lloyd after being rear-ended on Rte 100. This wasn't first time having to deal with legal representation and I couldn't be happier with the professionalism of this practice. I had to do minimal work while he negotiated on my behalf. I have completed my case today and I need services like this again, hopefully notn o will be happy to come back and request him to represent me.

Joe Maher from Weinberg was awesome! He was caring, professional, relentless in the negotiations and he understood the daunting issues that faced me. He also seemed very well respected at the court house, on good terms with clerks and judges. Unlike my previous lawyers, they seemed to have no rapport with the court! I had to switch Lawyers several thousand dollars into my divorce. I went with a friends recommendation to go with Joe. This probably was the best decision I could have made. I would have not had the same outcome with the other firm for sure!

I can't begin to express how thankful I was to have been represented by such a professional, knowledgeable and dedicated team. I was so fortunate to work with two of the best attorneys....Marnie Schwartz and Joseph Maher. They were always prepared, available and impressively knowledgeable no matter what the situation. But, moreover, I was so touched by their genuine concern, kindness and sincerity that they continually showed, even after my divorce. Truly, if you want the BEST representation....Weinberg & Schwartz Family Law Practice is the one!!

Thank you Amos! Amos Whitney was instrumental in skillfully guiding me through one of the most trying and painful periods of my life. His highly professional and calm demeanor was particularly useful as a variety of events throughout the divorce process became far more challenging than necessary. In moments of great stress and high emotions, Amos was there to remind of the end goal for me and my children. Together we kept focus on moving forward in a smooth and practical way towards the best possible outcome. My life, happiness and relationship with my children are all far better than they had been for years. Throughout the divorce process, I knew that my well being and the well being of my children were first and foremost in the approach lead by Amos the rest of the Weinberg & Schwartz office. The support from all levels of the office was superb. I've recommended Amos and will continue to do so for those in need of a true advocate.

Everything. Everyone who works here is friendly, helpful, professional and they know what they are doing. I have been so happy with all the work they have done for my family and me.

Amos represented consistently since my separation, divorce, and non-stop litigation that my ex-husband filed against me over the past several years. One of these matters eventually and recently found its way to the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland. Amos put together a very well-written, thoughtful, and strong brief that rebutted all of my ex's argument. He got completely prepared for oral argument on short notice after my ex delayed and then refused to withdraw the appeal. The Court of Special Appeals ruled in our favor in only two weeks. After several years of litigation, I was without financial resources. Instead of walking away from me, Amos represented me after I was able to come up with a retainer through my social network. He did what he could to keep my costs down for me through all the litigation and appeal efforts. Amos isn't cheap, but his skill, expertise, and ability to navigate complex family law matters are worth every penny. I hope I never need to hire Amos again in the future -- but if you need this type of help, you absolutely can't go wrong with him. Amos believed in me when many would not help me, and as a result I have stood up to a bullying ex-spouse and have the best possible future for me and my children ahead of me. Thank you Amos, and a special thanks also to your paralegals, who provided invaluable assistance!

120% positive experience! I felt from the get-go in very capable and experienced hands. I'm so glad and very grateful that I had this team of specialists in my corner.

My uncle, an attorney in San Francisco, referred me to a Towson based law firm, which subsequently referred me to W&S. The referring firm mentioned two associates at W&S by name, one of which was Amos Whitney. When I first consulted with W&S, it was with the other referred associate. I hired that associate, but he moved to another state during the early stages of my divorce proceedings. The prior associate recommended Amos Whitney to take over. The three of us met, and I knew straight away Amos was the right person to see my case through. He quickly came up to speed on my situation, and we developed a strategic roadmap to hopefully settle my divorce in the best possible manner. He was well versed in the law and was able to clearly communicate the realities of my situation. This allowed us to stay on the same page and remain focused on the target end result. Amos was able to connect the information I provided with his own assessment of my former spouse and her situation to recommend tactical actions throughout the case. He knew when to play defense, when to apply pressure, and when to remain silent and force opposing counsel to reassess. He is well acclimated to the family law environment in MD and was straight away familiar with the opposing counsel. My case made it all the way to discovery, and Amos developed a targeted and robust request on my behalf. When my former spouse then decided to negotiate, Amos identified potential pitfalls and provided me with helpful negotiating tips. Ultimately, my case was settled with just about everything I could reasonably hope for. Had my case required litigation, I have every confidence that Amos would have been well prepared and forceful during the trial. Divorce proceedings are not a pleasant experience, but with Amos, I was confident that I had accurate information and top notch advice and representation every step of the way.

I needed an attorney who was tough yet empathetic to what was happening in my life. As soon as I met Amos Whitney I knew he was the perfect Attorney to represent me. What began as a straight-forward, uncontested, absolute divorce with only a separation of assets and no children involved; turned into a night mare to the point of having to secure protective orders for both my daughter and me. Amos consistently stayed on top of the situation while being conscientious of the cost to me both monetarily and mentally. Amos knew when it was time to push and use our leverage and when it was in my best interest to back off. He took the time to make sure I understood everything that was written in our agreement, everything that was being negotiated, and everything that my daughter and I needed to know before, and while we were in court, for both the protective orders and for the divorce. Amos made me feel like I was his only client as he answered emails and phone calls as quickly as I sent them, never having to wait more than a day for a response during our critical negotiating period. He even went so far as to check his email while he was still on vacation and sent me my signed agreement after seeing that I had a particularly difficult week just so I could rest easy! Amos did an amazing job securing me the best possible settlement while also encouraging me to stay on the high road. My situation became quite scary for my daughter and me and he guided us through it quickly and safely. We both felt protected and empowered with him by our side. I am, and will always be, grateful to Amos for his service and care during this time. He will be highly recommended by me in the future.
