Gauri made it possible for me to remain focused; she is clearly interested in doing what is best for her clients. At times, when I was exhausted and wanted to cave, Gauri was there to convince me to see the process through. She is bold and stood up against a well-known overly-aggressive and unreasonable attorney. Shark attorneys waste unnecessary time and energy on both sides of a divorce, Gauri is the opposite she leads with knowledge to do what is equitable and is not interested in wasting people's time. We need more authentic people in the divorce business. I highly recommend her services.

Gauri did an excellent job in helping me put together my will. Their work was prompt, professional, and flexible. I'd highly recommend them.

Lauren Leffler was recommended by a friend, and we are incredibly pleased with her estate planning services. We weren't sure what documents we needed, and not only did Lauren talk us through everything, she was beyond patient when we kept changing our minds about some of the details. We would absolutely use the Oliver Leffler Law firm again, and we would wholeheartedly recommend them to others.

For years we kept saying we needed to update our Estate planning documents and kept putting it off. Finally, we called Lauren N. Leffler at the Oliver Leffler Law firm. It was the best call we ever made. From beginning to end, it was a very pleasant experience. Lauren guided us along the way, with expert advice, making sure we understood everything. She was always prompt with returning calls and scheduling for an appointment was a breeze. Our end packet containing our documents was very impressive and complete. The best part is the relief knowing this once dreaded chore is finished, but also knowing that Lauren is there to further guide us in the future should we need to make changes in the future.

Gauri was excellent at working through all the details and was instrumental in helping with a fair settlement for us.

Ms. Bayoumi has been my legal representative upon my decision to proceed with permanent dissolution from an 8-year marriage. Gauri soon became more than a legal representative but also what we have at times lost the skills, to be my counsel. I am a very difficult person to deal with, particularly when dealing with a difficult situation such as a divorce procedure, certainly a one lifetime event. In multiple times Ms. Bayoumi was there to respond to my questions but also with the attention and personal skill to calm me down and help me to focus on the legal aspects at hand. Due to this skill and attention to me as a person, with my own personal failings and all, she was able to complete the dissolution process in a very timely and painful manner. I will always remember, not the actual divorce process, but that it was as painless as I imagine it could be. As result of this established trust, I have asked Gauri to be there for me for any other eventuality that I may face in the future. Sincerely, Carlos A. L. Encinas, Ph., D.

Lauren was incredibly kind to my family as we faced my parents' illnesses and realized that their wills and end of life documents needed updating. She carefully reviewed their previous documents and crafted new ones that were a vast improvement, reflecting my parents' wishes and making things much simpler for my siblings and me. Her explanations were very clear and her service and responsiveness were excellent. She even traveled to my parents' apartment for signatures since it would have been difficult for us to transport them to her office. I cannot recommend Lauren enough!

Weingberg and Schwartz, LLC is an excellent practice. I highly recommend Marni Schwartz and her associate Gauri Bayoumi. I hired Marni and Gauri for my recent divorce. Their knowledge of the law is worth every penny. At times my case became complicated due to my ex-husband’s narcissistic personality and unethical actions coupled by opposing counsel’s lack of understanding of Maryland law and utter disorganization. Marni and Gauri were able to shut them down at every turn. The strategic and creative manner that these lawyers handled my case was nothing short of brilliant, and their focus on my best interests was unwavering throughout the entire process. They are highly intelligent, super thorough and extremely caring—a complete package that is hard to come by. I also commend and applaud the entire office staff at Weinberg and Schwartz. They were always up to speed on my case and extremely helpful when I had questions. They were a pleasure to work with during this entire process.

Meg Oliver is an accomplished, knowledgeable, patient, and wise attorney. Meg brought me through a difficult and sometimes adversarial divorce. The divorce process was very successful from beginning to end. Meg allayed my initial fears with solid information, anticipating what might and did happen, communicating effectively what to expect and do at each step. We reached an outcome with which I was extremely happy. Meg acted with a high degree of professionalism and experience, and conducted herself ethically. Meg was cost efficient by keeping the case moving. When a contentious issues arose, Meg calmed the situation rather than inflame it. Meg considered the cost of what could be gained by compromise versus the cost in litigation, and other fees of escalation. I was extremely happy with Meg’s representation and found her to be genuine and easy to talk with. I cannot overemphasize that Meg always put my interests first. Meg established and maintained a good working relationship with myself and the opposing attorney. She was a pleasure to work with, was very attentive, well prepared, forward looking, and provided me peace of mind. I will not hesitate to contact Meg with any future legal issues. A happy divorce client.

I loved working with Gauri. She helped me through the process of getting a divorce and was very efficient. She explained every step along the way and answered all my questions and concerns. The entire process from start to finish took less than a year to get through. I would highly recommend!

Lets face it, no one gets married to get divorced. So when you want to get divorced, you want it quick, painless, direct, and without hassle. From the moment I met Gauri she checked all those blocks and within 2 months I had a signed sealed and settled divorced agreement. Gauri walked me through each step of the process and she made sure I was aware of the documents and legal language that I was signing. I did sob through court and was very emotional because the end of my happily ever after was sealed close, Gauri called me immediately following and let me know it was ok and I can move forward now with my life. I am so thankful for the services of Ms. Bayoumi.

I reached out to Weinberg & Schwartz and specifically requested for Gauri Bayoumi given her credentials and experience working with cross-cultural clients. During my first consultation, she took her time to thoroughly understand my situation and presented me with clear next steps. She was transparent about the challenges that I may face during COVID especially with the court system and I truly appreciated the honesty as It helped me set realistic expectations. Her office was thorough with all the documentation and timely updates and I faced no issues whatsoever through out the divorce proceeding. Divorce is a life changing event and it is important to choose the right attorney to represent you, I am glad with my decision to go with Gauri Bayoumi during this challenging phase of my life. God Bless!
