I had met several family law attorneys in the past through the Montgomery County Bar Association, and 2 years later when my (ex-)husband and I decided to get divorced, she was top of mind.

Fait and Dilima handles these kinds of things routinely among other family law issues and were highly recommended. They communicate well both one on one as well as electronically. The nightmare with Maryland DMV is over and my wife has her

Then, at the hearing, she has my address as in another town, which the judge told
