Alex and his firm helped me with my third party custody case where I needed to gain De Facto Parentage. With myself being the third party and up against the child’s biological parents. The outcome was fantastic and I was up to speed on everything happening the whole way, along with the guidance on what exactly to do! The whole firm was always there and responding super quickly to any and all questions I had. Alex himself is an amazing person and does what’s right! If you’re looking for a lawyer this is the place to go!

I'll forever regret my decision to hire Barbara Jorgensen as my divorce attorney. I am still suffering from the repercussions. My divorce should have been simple. My ex had a warrant out for his arrest due to a crime against a neighbor. He also had priors and had engaged in many actions causing great risk to me. I'd just been diagnosed with lifelong critical illness but this was pushed into taking on the impossible. The economy had collapsed and the property (that the ex was afraid to go near) was severely upside down in value. He wasn't contributing towards the property payments, and left me with an unmanageable number of expenses that were his responsibility. Barbara Jorgensen ignored all of these circumstances. She even told me that types of support other divorcees were successfully arranging did "not exist" and that his crimes and lack of financial contributions were somehow irrelevant to his demands for money that did not exist. While she may have advocated for her clients back in 1985, both her skills and focus were very outdated decades later. She was often outright condescending towards me as her client and kept confusing my account for another client's who was delinquent in payments. She also told me I had no choice but to continue with tasks and expenses for superfluous actions from my ex's attorney whereas in reality I could have walled away or ignored most of it. It was well known that the mess drained my savings and left me in a literal long-term trap. As a final display of not caring about her clients, she even sent a disruptive and embarrassing younger attorney to court the day my ridiculous divorce agreement was filed. I was leery of most of her decisions but was going off of Washingtonian Magazine's endorsements. This is not an attorney who will advise to your benefit. This is the type of lawyer who still believes that attorneys are automatically respected and assumed to be brilliant, thereby giving them the ability to make up rules and advice that their clients won't question. This may have been the case in 1985 but certainly wasn't by then. With the immature JGL junior attorney solidifying my overall impression, I've steered friends and colleagues away from this firm ever since.

Alex helped me tremendously during my high conflict divorce. He was professional, incredibly knowledgeable and his fees were never a shock. He was transparent with me about every action to take and any alternative possibilities, and was always looking out for my interests. Thank you so much for your assistance during this very unpleasant and turbulent period of my life!

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the time you dedicated to our meeting today. Your honest insights were highly appreciated.

At this delicate time of my life, Alex and his team gave to me a calming and understanding of my divorce case. The case was quickly settled as promised without any problem. Thank you team Alex!

I am pleased to share my exceptional experience working with Alex’s legal firm. He is just the best. From the very first consultation, I was impressed by Alex’s empathy, approachability, and insights. He quickly understood the nuances of my case and laid out a clear picture of this complex and challenging process. One of the most remarkable aspects of working with Alex was his exceptional legal knowledge and experience. He keeps updated with new legal developments and has a network of experts he can consult, which greatly benefited my case. I was also impressed by Alex’s exceptional communication skills. He promptly answered my many questions and responded to my concerns, fostering trust and confidence. Moreover, his dedication, professionalism, and commitment were truly commendable. I had to travel for work, and he accommodated working with me even on weekends. Alex and Ashley went above and beyond throughout researching, preparing documents, and representing me in court. After 19 months of working with them, I can attest to their exemplary legal representation. You will not regret hiring them. I could not have chosen a better professional team to guide me through the most challenging time in my life and successfully helping me secure the best possible outcome. I cannot express enough gratitude to you, Alex and Ashley!

Very unprofessional wouldn’t hire them for my funeral

I retained Alex for a custody case. Alex helped me win physical custody of my daughter with special needs. I am beyond satisfied with Alex’s service. I find Alex to be incredibly intelligent, very knowledgeable in family law, a strong advocate, and above all, he truly cared about me as a client and really fought for me. Alex was very understanding of my financial situation and worked with me on options. The amount I paid to retain his services was very fair and honestly, that is the best money I have ever spent because he was worth every penny and more. The communication was great because throughout the entire process, Alex kept me informed on everything that was happening, with my case and gave me frequent updates. He was very responsive whenever I needed to reach him with any questions or concerns. Alex genuinely cares about his clients and I highly recommend him. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would.

I wish I found Alex sooner. He is my 3rd attorney in 9yrs and the best by far! Alex worked strategically & diligently on my behalf doing most of the work since the opposing council was lazy and unreachable. He was respectful of my budget the entire time- which I cannot say about my previous representation! He gave me great advice and didn’t add to the stress of an already stressful situation! He provided updates and was never unavailable or too busy to take my call or respond to an email. You know you had the better attorney when the other party fires his attorney right after signing!!! I must add, I live in Fl but Md holds jurisdiction of my child support case. Alex handled my case without me having to travel to Md.
