Professional, quick and earnestly helped solve a difficult situation. Rick was knowledgeable and provided guidance and direction along with his expert knowledge on real estate law that made for a smooth and excellent experience. Will definitely recommend for an honest, fair and good value of the highest quality.

Rick prepared our estate documents for us and helped us navigate the difficult international tax problems that we might have had. Don't let his laid-back approach fool you into thinking you are not getting top quality legal advice. You are.

I hired Cary Jacobson for what should have been an uncomplicated divorce in October 2016. Cary patiently, meticulously, and shrewdly guided me through custody, visitation, child support negotiations and final divorce ending in November 2018. Cary was always responsive and professional. She was very clear about the law and the possibilities for my case. Although her goal is to assist parties in coming to reasonable and fair compromises, she doesn't hesitate to pull out the stops and fully utilize her complete arsenal when needed. Along with her understanding and compassion, Cary is shrewd. She legally outwitted opposing counsel on several occasions to obtain what my children and I needed. Her non-confrontational style worked in our favor. Our case included a BIA, Social Worker, Forensic Psychiatrist, and opposing counsel. Cary was invaluable to the experience with each of them. She is well connected and navigates the Howard County legal systems with impressive ease. Her staff is just as on top of things as she is. Cary talked me off of the ledge several times. She was honest about when I just needed to sit still and wait. I'm so glad I listened. Besides a favorable outcome without a divorce trial, one of the huge benefits of working with Cary over two years was learning what was important -- what was worth the big fight and what wasn't. I am now pleased to report back to her when I am able to initiate a successful compromise with my children's father. When you divorce with young children, things always come up. Although Cary provided a clear and concise agreement, our co-parenting is ongoing. I can man the helm in proposing and obtaining compromises so that I don't have to keep going back to court for every little item. Cary modeled that and I am thankful for it. I strongly recommend Cary if you want a compassionate, smart, drama-free, shrewd lawyer who will be careful with your dollars and teach you along the way. She's a definite winner in my book!

Cary was an amazing mediator, she heard the desires of both parties, and was able to help us come up with an agreement where both of our desires were met. In addition she was very responsive to questions asked via email after our session. Thank you Cary I am so grateful for all that you did.

Cary Jacobson at Jacobson Family Law was very professional. I never actual met her face to face but she spoke with me several time to figure out what I needed in a pre-marital agreement and made sure to explain to me what would be the best way to approach my situation. I can now leave some of my assets in my Will to whom I want. I pray this agreement with never be used in any other way but if it has to be I will have some protection.

I can't say enough good things about Rick Todd. For too long my husband and I put off preparing critical family documents. I'm now thrilled to say that we each have a Will and Powers of Attorney for both finances and health. But more importantly, we have peace of mind. Rick was knowledgeable, patient, insightful and took the time to ask relevant questions to make sure we fully understood our choices. If you were like us and confused by the process or simply procrastinating, simply pick up the phone and call Rick. Rick will actually answer the phone and if he is not there he will call you back! Something of a miracle its self in this day and age.

Mr. Todd was extremely responsive to our requests. He answered every question with care and detail. He is prompt and professional.

Chad provided excellent advice and outstanding support through a lengthy divorce proceeding. I truly appreciated his professional approach and deep understanding of Maryland marital law. Chad was always quick to point out all options and willingly supported the path with which I felt most comfortable. Thanks Chad!

Ms. Jacobson is an incredible person, first-rate attorney and consummate professional. Her assistance to an out-of-state single mom like me was invaluable, and I was incredibly blessed to have found her, not to mention her compassion for my legal troubles, which is a rarity in this day and age. She was highly informative, very patient in hearing me out and meticulous in helping me organize my case, and in the end, my successful outcome is all thanks to her. Her fees were reasonable, and she was even willing to work out a payment plan so I wouldn't be overwhelmed. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! Thank you and God bless, Cary!

Quick and Responsive. Speaks to you like a friend and lets you understand the entire process. Keeps you informed as the court process continues.

Divorce is never something anyone wants to think about. But in today's world, whenever you have two people living and working together as much as married couples do, sometimes things go awry. It can be a nerve-racking and heart-breaking experience - especially for a father who is unsure of what lies ahead of him and his family. Chad Spencer was very understanding and willing to go to bat for me and my daughter's needs. He wasn't like the stereotypical lawyer like you hear about. He was very cognizant of my tight budget and would keep me informed the entire way as to how much I was spending and even offered suggestions to cut down on the cost. He was crucial throughout the process as he offered guidance in uncharted waters. Tracey Perrick was fantastic as well. She was the muscle behind my case - literally. She met with me on several occasions and helped guide me through the separation agreement. She offered sound advice on topics you'd never think of, but mean the world as my daughter gets older. In court, it was comforting to know she was on my side and was very knowledgeable. In divorce proceedings, let's face it - it can be scary for the husband/father as our culture preaches that the wife always walks as the victor. This was not the case as I can honestly say I was very content with outcome. If you're a husband/dad going through this heart-breaking process, look no farther for legal help! Thanks Chad and Tracey!
