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 Over 11-year period, ex-wife filed: three protective orders, all of which were denied, dismissed, or withdrawn; numerous interim motions during pendente lite & divorce trials alleging various medical issues, all of which withdrawn after contradicting medical evidence; awarded generous custody & child support, only to lose all after appealing demanding more; pursued 5 back-to-back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 Pursued 7 new cases seeking sole custody & child support, all withdrawn, dismissed, or denied; twice sanctioned by Court to pay attorney fees for frivolous litigation.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.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ms. Leffler to update and initiate a number of legal documents. I was impressed with her legal knowledge, skill, and professionalism, and would highly recommend her and her team.

Ms. Leffler was very helpful, competent and responsive during our interaction. Everything I've seen while I was at their office was the way it should be: a professional environment that fostered the trust necessary for our long term engagement. No need to go with a "big" name when you can get quality services from people in your neighborhood. I highly recommend them.

Great experience,Mrs Leffler is very knowledgeable,understanding, tough honest and caring, thanks to everyone in the office and especially Clay.I highly recommend the law firm.

Lauren and her team provided assistance with an approach that fit my needs and led to favorable outcomes. The balance of assertion, attentiveness, professionalism, compassion, and long term strategic vision was consistent and apparent at every step. Lauren provided strong leadership, effective communication and strategic guidance. Alana exercised her critical thinking and was assertive in her defense tactics. Adrian was thoroughly organized pulling together disparate pieces of the puzzle to provide clarity on the facts to all stakeholders. Their billing practices are transparent and the admin team is timely and responsive. If you are looking for a team that genuinely cares about their clients, provides candid guidance, and proactively thinks long term on your behalf, Lauren's team will take care of you.

I highly recommend engaging Oliver Leffler Law for your legal needs - I was working with Ms. Lauren Leffler on an Estate matter where the Estate had to be probated in Maryland. I live in South Carolina. This is the first time I needed to deal with the Probate process so needless to say I needed a lot of assistance on this matter and Ms. Leffler and her staff were outstanding. She help me navigate the MD probate process and provided me a list of things she needed to open the Estate. She was patience with me as I took sometime to get the information she requested of me to her. The amount of communication flow was just right and I knew I could call her with any questions I might have in the matter. I am very satisfied with how my matter was handled and if I ever need assistance with a legal matter in MD I will give them a call. I am very thankful for their assistance. E Valmores

Working with Lauren Leffler was a pleasure, she was professional, efficient, and friendly. Highly recommend.

I had the best experience with Margaret Oliver who got me through a very painful time in my life; a divorce after almost 30 years of marriage. She was always professional yet kind and caring throughout my time with her as I went through legal proceedings beyond the divorce. I highly recommend Ms Oliver.

My wife and I found that our family estate legal documents needed updates. After being recommended to the Lauren Leffler law office, we had a complete review to clearly understand what needed to be done. We filled out a questionnaire that allowed us to guide us in life decisions documents. After answering all our questions and requests we completed our estate planning legal papers, including a will, power of attorney and medical directives in the most efficient way we could imagine. Kudos to Karen...She has won the place of our family lawyer!

Meg was recommended to me and handled my contentious protracted divorce. She was extremely responsive and had a special ability to "calm" the emotions and stay focused on the case issues. I felt well supported by her, and she answered all my questions. She hung in there as an advocate no matter how hard it got or how obstructive my ex-husband was. With her help and support I am happily divorced. I appreciated and benefitted from her skills and wisdom. She was definitely in my corner through it all. With her advocating hard for me the case did settle.

After a thorough search of the best lawyers in Howard County, Columbia, MD. I came across “The Oliver Leffler Law Firm” who I hired as representation in my legal case for Child Support Modification. I had Attorney Quint assigned to me. My first impression of her was she was friendly, warm, and approachable. It’s been along road, but with great support and coaching from Attorney Quint all has come to positive end. All I can say is, I would HIGHLY HIGLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Attorney Quint any day to someone seeking the best results for Child support issues. She’s also very dedicated to her clients, a professional who is an expert in the field of Family Law. She’s not afraid to collaborate with her colleagues to formulate a strategic plan for absolute win win case. Attorney Gauri Bayoumi who also worked on my case was phenomenal. I met her towards the end of my case, and she is also an excellent attorney. She’s very knowledgeable. With Attorney Bayoumi’ s extensive experience in Family Law, she worked hard with Attorney Quint to make sure we win this case. My first impression of her was “Wow, she’s also very approachable and friendly”. You want that in a legal team where you can relate but still, they are professional about their job. That always brings an ease When dealing with legal issues. She was a great asset in my case. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY Recommend Attorney Bayoumi as well. When it got tough, Attorney Quint worked diligently in making sure all records were available needed to prove the case. Boy, she had a lot of things under her sleeve which was the icing on the case during trial. Not only did these two great attorney(s) showed up prepared for trial, Attorney Quint and Attorney Bayoumi were beyond amazing, flawless in in collaboration and teamworking trial. They worked hard to make sure my children receive what they are entitled to under the law. These two wonderful attorney(s) were just amaaaaaaazing. When they say Attorney Quint is rated “Top rated Family Law Attorney in Maryland”, believe it. She has earned it. Not a lot of attorney(s) are able to prove case where the Firm gets awarded attorney fees, but these two great attorneys pulled it off. Great job! What a great Law Firm to work with to achieve a great result. Oliver Leffler law Firm is simply the best! My #1 on the list for legal consultation. Kudos again to Attorney Quint and Bayoumi, we won the case and more….

Excellent, professional, and experience law firm. They handle my will and estate planning. They explain everything, in the process, in plain language and not legalize. They step me through the process without rushing me and they made sure that I understood every document I was about to sign. I felt like I was with a close friend, who had my back, instead of a law firm. I have never written a review for any person or company, but this firm's great customer service and sincerity demands that I share this vital resource to the community.
