Alice is a very sincere, compassionate, and professional lawyer. She is extremely experienced and knowledgeable in family law and handled my case with ease. As a father fighting for full custody of my children, the odds were stacked against me. Nevertheless, Alice managed to help me win my case by outlining contradictory statements made by the defense and accurately depicting my character, qualifications, and suitability to raise my children. She was very transparent with her prices and provided me with a realistic picture of the process, possible outcomes, and the implications of those outcomes. Her calm and confident demeanor in court provided me the much needed reassurance that I would prevail. She is very well-spoken and her attention to detail is unmatched. Despite the inevitable delays in our court proceedings as a result of the pandemic, Alice worked diligently throughout the process and alleviated my stress. Consequently, I felt very optimistic - without worry. I am thrilled to have full custody of my children and am overwhelmed with gratitude. If I could do it all over again (not that I ever would want to) I would choose Alice again and again any time I need legal assistance. She has really shown us the meaning of "the light at the end of the tunnel," and for that, I am truly grateful. I highly recommend Alice Pare' and Associates, our "A" team.

I went to Pare & Associates for a consultation on a sensitive family law matter. They approached the matter with empathy and available immediately.

I can’t say enough good things about Dave. I first contacted him for a divorce that I expected to be short and amicable. Soon after contacting him, that changed and it became a lengthy divorce and custody situation. He swiftly and expertly navigated every issue that came up. Working with him calmed my anxiety through a very uncertain process. He answered every question I had and was very communicative through the whole process. I have already sent several people his way and will continue to do so. I would recommend him to everyone I know!

My family law case was a complicated one that required and still requires a lot of detailed care, Alice and her team have done just that for me. I can't thank Alice enough for the time she's invested in my case that was crucial for my children and I to come through in a fair fashion. She taught me to take ownership of my own case, keeping track of my information and find answers on my own in order to be informed. I learned that an informed client makes the best client. I am an informed-hands-on--organized client and that helped us both achieve outstanding results. I'm sure it's not the case for everyone, but things fell into place for me. I highly recommend Alice as a family law attorney....the law is one thing...someone to fight your fight for you and w/you until you regain your confidence gave me comforting peace during very discomforting times. Thank you Alice and team!

Alice and her staff are very professional and extremely knowledgeable in family and bankruptcy law. I highly recommend them.

I was looking for an attorney via Google and Pare & Associates was the first that caught my attention. Not knowing anything of what to do after the loss of my husband and how to go about things in life on my own with everything falling on me, Pare & Associates helped guide and reassure me everything was going to be ok and the steps I needed to take from here on. They made me feel like I wasn’t alone and grateful to have found them. Definitely one to recommend to anyone in seek of the right path to take whether it be family law, estate, etc.

Pare & Associates is a viable, caring, trustworthy, family oriented organization. In particular, I’d like to give a “shout-out” to Mike Valenti. Quite knowledgeable, and works for his clients in their best interests. Thanks Mike for helping me these past several weeks, your work is appreciated not only by me, but by my family as well! Kudos to Alice for bringing him aboard!!

Alice Pare saved my life and my daughters back in 2006/2007 when I decided to divorce my husband of 20 years. Alice was fantastic in her counseling, availability, reasoning, and court presentation. My case became very involved as money and child custody battles erupted as part of the divorce. Alice was fantastic in court, in her office and even gave me her cell phone for emergencies because I ultimately became such a needy client. Alice was always there for me, was well-known in county court and had the ultimate respect of the judges and other lawyers. Alice made a completely horrible divorce situation as best as it could be given my horrible circumstances. I am sure that I would have been a real mess had I not been working with Alice. The best compliment for Alice came from the "other side of the aisle"--my ex- husband told my daughters that "I had a fantastic lawyer (Alice), and much better than the one he had!" A little bit funny, but so very true! My life would be totally different today had I not had Alice as my divorce attorney.

I highly recommend the Law Office of Alice Pare. Alice and her staff are professional, compassionate, and honest. Alice assisted me with a domestic violence/divorce case. Alice guided me through the most difficult time in my life and for that, I am forever grateful to her.

One year after moving into my house, it seemed as though everything was going wrong. Particularly where my finances were concerned. The heating/air conditioning unit broke; I found myself needing another vehicle which meant a car payment; and my student loan kicked in. And if this wasn't enough, my contracting job of 4-1/2 years was becoming very uncertain. After reading an article in the Gazette, I decided to contact Attorney Pare-Johnson's office to weigh my options. Her fee was very reasonable. She worked with me and together we devised a plan to get my finances back on track. Attorney Pare-Johnson helped me through a very difficult time. Thank you.

There is definitely not a single word to describe Ms. Pare – she is loyal, dedicated, and honest. She is an amazing strategist with the integrity of none other while personally embracing the facts of the case. Ms. Pare most importantly is the best legal and personal adviser one could ever hope to find in an attorney. I highly recommend listening to and embracing her advice (even if you have to swallow hard!). She will point you in the right, moral, and fair approach for your children’s benefit. Ms. Pare picked up my divorce case, which has a case history longer than any criminal facing death row (no kidding!) after I finally decided to let go of my first attorney. In 7 continuous years of litigation (because my ex-wife refused to settle on any issue), I only convinced the court twice to rule in my favor (These were both under the direction of Ms. Pare). These two rulings were huge. I now have an ex-wife who is behaving and cooperating solely because of Ms. Pare and her strategic legal approach. The second ruling in my favor was over child support modifications after I was laid off from my job of 10 years and then started my own business. My start up struggled in the beginning as most start up companies, but I was making $30,000 – $40,000 dollars a year. However, my ex-wife decided to file a suit against me saying that I was “voluntarily impoverished”. Yes, believe it or not the State of Maryland has a law that says if you make less money judges can input the salary they believe you should be making based on past jobs and education! Alice was absolutely BRILLIANT during the court hearing and the judge ruled in my favor. In seven years, I have been in court every single year sometimes multiple times for just about everything you can think of that could happen in a divorce and custody case. Ms. Pare changed my life and the lives of my children. If you are thinking about hiring an attorney, you will be missing the boat if you pass on Ms. Pare. She is worth every hour!
