Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

- Divorce

Divorce is a necessary part of moving on from a marriage that is not working out, but it can be a stressful and uncertain process. It is important to work with a compassionate, experienced attorney who will take the time to understand your circumstances and your goals.

- Child Custody

For many people going through a divorce, determining what will happen to the children is the most crucial issue. If you and your spouse do not see eye to eye on child custody, it is important to be represented by an experienced and compassionate lawyer.

- Visitation Rights

In most cases, after a child's parents have broken up, it is in his or her interests to continue to have strong relationships with both parents. Child access and visitation are the terms used to refer to the rights of parents who do not have primary residential custody of their children.

- Child Support

The goal of the child support system is to provide children with the financial support they deserve based on the amounts that both of their parents can reasonably afford to pay. An experienced attorney can help you protect your interests in a child support matter.

- Property Division

Property division can become one of the most contentious issues in a divorce case. Both you and your spouse may have a great deal at stake in the division of your marital property, and an experienced attorney can help you protect your rights and financial interests.

- Business Valuation

In any divorce case, the division of marital property has the potential to become a major sticking point. Resolving this issue, however, is a much more complex process when at least one spouse owns substantial assets without a readily apparent market value.

- Alimony

Determining whether one spouse is entitled to spousal support — and, if so, how much and for how long — can be one of the most frustrating parts of a divorce. Will you get alimony? Will you have to pay alimony? An experienced lawyer can help clients answer these questions.

- Protective Order

If you have been abused by your spouse or partner, a protective order can be a powerful tool when it comes to stopping the violence in your home. If you have been accused of domestic violence, you could be facing serious consequences and should contact an experienced lawyer.

- Separation Agreement

Even if you and your spouse do not see eye to eye on every aspect of your divorce, you may be interested in obtaining an uncontested divorce in order to avoid costly and emotional divorce litigation. Negotiating a separation agreement may help you achieve this goal.

- Divorce Mediation

A contested divorce can be a heart-wrenching process, and many people going through divorce would prefer to resolve their disputes with their spouses without resorting to litigation. In Maryland, mediation is one tool many people use to settle divorce cases out of court.

- Federal Crimes Defense

A federal criminal charge is a very serious matter. Federal prosecutors aggressively pursue these cases, and defendants who are convicted of federal charges face much stricter and more severe sentencing guidelines than those that govern state and local judges in Maryland.

- Fraud & Embezzlement

If you have been charged with fraud, embezzlement or any other white collar crime, you could be facing a significant consequences, including a prison sentence, as well as a criminal record that could negatively affect the rest of your life. It is important to have an experienced lawyer on your side.

- Drug Crimes

Drug charges are among the most common criminal charges in Maryland and throughout the United States. From simple possession charges to allegations of participation in an interstate distribution conspiracy, people convicted of drug crimes face serious, long-term consequences.

- Assault & Robbery

If you have been accused of a crime of violence, you could be facing a long-term prison sentence as well as a criminal record with serious collateral consequences that may restrict the types of jobs you can get in the future. It is important that you retain an experienced criminal defense attorney to protect your rights.

- White Collar Crime

If you have been charged with fraud, embezzlement or any other white collar crime, you could be facing a significant consequences, including a prison sentence, as well as a criminal record that could negatively affect the rest of your life. It is important to have an experienced lawyer on your side.
