Our attorneys are dedicated to providing strong, supportive and effective advocacy in your family law case. We provide prompt resolutions and aggressive representation. Let us evaluate your family law matter to meet your individual needs. Divorce is a process that can be difficult and have a major impact on your life and your family.
Children are often front and center when a couple is separating, and it is most unfortunate that their lives are been affected. Coming up with a plan on how to address their living, schooling, and various other necessary arrangements is critical. In all Maryland child custody cases, the standard is what is in the "best interests of the child."
When a married couple is looking to get divorced, there are a number of issues that need to be resolved, in order for both parties to move forward in life separate from one another. Separating the marital assets, agreeing on custody arrangements for the children, and figuring out any alimony payments, are just a few of the many topics that will need to be discussed.
In Maryland, both parents are legally obligated to support their child(ren), even if they are separated, divorced or have never been married. Simply stated, child support is the Court's method of ensuring that children receive the care they need from both parents. However, this can be a major source of contention when the parents are no longer together.

Kerri recently represented me in a family law matter. Kerri excels at translating legal jargon into language an informed layperson without a law degree can understand. She is also very personable and patient which makes her clients feel comfortable. The process was relatively painless and I got a prompt refund of the unused portion of my retainer upon completion of services. Would recommend for your family law needs!

Working with Kerri and her team was a great experience. She handled my case with expertise. She was sincere in her dealings with me and absolutely had my best interest at heart. I am completely pleased with my outcome & the effort Kerri and her team put forth on my behalf. Anybody would be making a solid choice in having Kerri as their legal representation.

Kerri was the absolute BEST attorney I could have hoped for. My divorce case ended up being much more difficult than I could have imagined. Kerri and her associate Jen did a masterful job of navigating through every obstacle. They worked tirelessly to get the best possible result for me. They always made me feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire process. I was extremely satisfied with their representation and would encourage anyone in need of legal help to give her a call.

Kerri and her team are absolutely fantastic. I looked into other law offices before I found her and was not happy with what I was told or the fee I was quoted for the services. One call with Kerri, I was sold. She did not tell me what I wanted to hear she told me realistically how my situation would play out. I really appreciated that. I knew she would fight for me and get me the outcome that I wanted. Fight she did! She made my fight her personal fight and I really appreciated having someone in my corner not just because I paid her to be. She really did care about my case and wanted me to get

I have a massive problem with my ex-wife in a divorce case. I called Kerri and several other attorneys. Some attorneys did not even respond to my initial call, while Kerri's office contacted me immediately. It did wonders to lower my stress levels. We scheduled an appointment and I was able to speak directly with Kerri. She was genuinely sympathetic and had gone over the documents that I had sent her. She also developed a plan of action to tackle the conundrum I was in. I would recommend her office to anyone who has legal problems and wants a responsive and competent lawyer on their side. Thanks

I cannot say enough good things about Kerri and her team. From my very first visit, Kerri was compassionate and took the time to get to know me and what my objectives were for my case. She was able to get me the outcome I was looking for in my divorce case. I am incredibly grateful for having Kerri and Jen as my lawyers, and for helping to calm my nerves and guide me through one of the most difficult times in my life.
