I think this is the first time I've ever felt really heard and like someone truly understands. Its been years. I cannot convey to you how much it means to me that you're working so hard on my case and clearly have taken the time to review YEARS of information I've provided. Thank you. It is exceptionally uplifting.
I am beyond thrilled to have you and your entire office in my corner. Christy Zlatkus came into my life at the perfect time, and she guided me through the various obstacles that I encountered through divorce and [child] custody proceedings that lasted nearly two years. She was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, invaluable, and a pivotal force in starting this new and now positive chapter of my life.

We believe that the best way to approach a family law matter is through strategic, creative, and intelligent solutions as well as collaboration with clients on the importance of setting appropriate, achievable goals for their next chapter. We believe in using smart, tactical legal strategies to get our clients in and out of the legal process with all of the support (legal, emotional, logistical, and financial) that they need.
Adoption is the legal process by which a parent-child relationship is created between parties who are not biologically parent and child. In most ways, being an adoptive mom is no different than being the mom to biological children. You may not have given birth to your child, but you want the very best for your child, just like any other mom or dad.

The best custody arrangement depends on your family's unique needs. Under Maryland law, custody and visitation determinations are child-focused and use the "best interests of the child" standard. There are two components of custody in Maryland - legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody confers decision-making authority involving important and long-term matters such as religion, discipline, and education.
Sometimes, a highly contested custody case requires that your child (or children) have their own child representation lawyers. Each of these roles require that the attorney be appointed by court order to represent your child. Maryland Code, Family Law Article, §1-202 authorizes the court to appoint attorneys to represent children and to allocate the cost between the parties.

Z Family Law helped me through my family's case with fineness and complete care. I would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a compassionate and personal team who will take the time to walk you through delicate family affairs. Special thanks to Mrs. Lauer who gave me a safe space to feel heard and the professional direction she provided for the best outcome possible for me and my family to move forward. Mrs. Lauer worked diligently on my case and followed up on time-everytime and provided me with amazing personalized care. I am forever grateful.

I am an attorney and have known Christy for at least ten years. I have had numerous cases with Christy where we were on opposite sides. Christy is a consummate professional and was always polite and issue focused, while promoting the best interest of her clients. She fights aggressively for her clients, but was never personally disagreeable. I have the highest regard for her legal abilities and would recommend her highly to anyone in need of a strong and compassionate attorney who needs someone in their corner to fight for them through the legal process.

Christy was extremely helpful, as was the entire ZFamily Law team. Christy was knowledgeable and honest with the possibilities of my case… she truly cares about her clients. Everyone that I worked with at Zfamily Law listened, and showed empathy to my situation, while focusing on the legalities and responding expeditiously. I can’t say enough about how grateful I am to have had Christy representing me.

I have known Ms. Zlatkus for over a decade now. She is an excellent attorney and one of the most ethical attorneys I’ve ever known. I trust her implicitly, so much so that I referred my own mother to her when she was going through a divorce.
The team at Z Family Law is excellent and zealously advocate for their clients.
