Rockville Divorce Attorneys

We strive for the best possible outcome in every divorce.

Divorce is a major life change. Everything can be different after a divorce - where you live, what you own, and how much time you spend with your children could all change. You need an attorney to protect your interests. If your spouse is a narcissist, you need a lawyer who is experienced in negotiating child custody with a narcissist and protecting your share of the marital property from someone who feels entitled to everything. Our attorneys can represent you aggressively or even take your case to trial if that is likely to result in the best outcome.

Our lawyers will take the time to understand your personal preferences and priorities in your divorce case. What is important to you is important to us. Our goal is to get you the outcome you need. We want you to walk away feeling like you won when your case is resolved.

Family Owned and Operated

As a family-owned and operated law firm, we understand that family is everything. Divorce radically changes the structure of your family, and we are here to help you weather these changes. Our family is committed to helping other families who are undergoing divorce and child custody cases.

Are Divorce Courts Fair to Fathers?

Mothers have a historical advantage when it comes to child custody. They are often assumed to be the child's primary caregiver, even when that is not the case for a certain family. Our lawyers will work to bring the facts to light in your case. We will determine how each child custody factor pertains to your family so that we can fight to maximize your time with your children.

How is Marital Property Divided?

In Maryland, all marital assets are to be divided in a way that is fair to both parties. If the court is making decisions, it will consider things like how each spouse contributed to the family and what caused the divorce. More commonly, the spouses negotiate or use mediation to divide their own marital assets. You should be represented by counsel during all settlement talks.

Will I Have to Pay Alimony?

Alimony is uncommon and generally only ordered in very specific circumstances. If your spouse has the means to support him or herself or if your marriage was short-lived, alimony is unlikely. When alimony is ordered on behalf of a homemaker, it is often temporary, lasting only long enough to allow the receiving spouse to pursue education or job skills training.

Can I Get Divorced if My Spouse Will Not Cooperate?

Having a spouse who will not cooperate with divorce proceedings can be frustrating. Narcissists, mentally ill people, and abusive spouses may try to bury their heads in the sand or fight back and hope that the divorce will not go through. However, you do not need your spouse's cooperation to get divorced. You will, however, need to go to court to get divorced when your spouse will not sign an agreement.

Drug Crimes

Being caught with drugs can be a life-changing event. We strive to help clients enter recovery programs instead of facing harsh legal consequences.

DUI/DWI

Drunk driving charges should be taken very seriously. Courts can treat drunk drivers harshly, especially repeat offenders.

arrow

Assault

Assaults can be treated as misdemeanors or as felonies, and are more serious when domestic violence is involved.

Being charged with a crime can be life-changing. Consequences like going to jail or losing your driving privileges loom. Facing a judge when you are accused of a criminal offense can be intimidating. Our lawyers strive to take the fear out of going to court and addressing charges. Whether you are accused of a minor traffic offense like reckless driving or a serious first-degree assault, we are here to protect your rights and interests. We will do all we can to minimize the impact these charges will have on your life.

Maryland has fairly harsh sentencing laws. Even misdemeanor crimes like simple asault can carry serious prison time. If you have done any research on the potential penalties for the crime you are accused of, you might be feeling quite nervous. Our attorneys are often able to negotiate with the prosecution to have your charge reduced. We can also fight for dismissal or acquittal at trial.
