This review is long overdue. Ms. Urban is very professional, knowledgeable and assertive as a family lawyer. She righted the wrong that I was experiencing (PG county) and I've been enjoying joint physical and legal custody of my 2 boys for several years now. As a real Dad, this means the world to me. Ms. Urban listened to me and kept me up to date throughout the whole process. I was near my end but God gave her a gift, I wasn't referred to her by accident. Everything I wanted from the court I was awarded, and I will NEVER step foot into a courtroom without her. Thank you!!!

She listened!

I am not even her client yet and she provided me with so much valuable information, her time, honesty, and compassion over the phone. I know attorney's charge for a consultation and that can dig a hole in people's pocket especially during this pandemic. I also know that if you are serious about an issue then you pay for someone's knowledge and expertise and move forward from that. Miss Rosalyn actually provided me a 30 minute consult free of charge and that is such a blessing for me. I will never ever forget her and I have never met her in person. She took her time and assured me what the best move for me would be at this given time. She also let me know what to watch out for as far as deception else where which I take that very important because many of us are ignorant and seek help putting our trust in professionals. From this, she shows her integrity and honesty. I love that! Another thing, God before everything. I believe God allowed for us to speak and I am grateful for her time and help. I will definitely hire her as needed if my situation ever changes. Miss Rosalyn is a virtuous woman (Proverbs 31). If you see this Miss Rosalyn, Thank you for your time! May God bless you abundantly and give you many successful and long years of life.

Having Ms. Otieno represent me was truly a gift from God. She represented me for a little over 18 months and, made my first (and, prayerfully my only) experience (with court) so special. I was/am a single mother who had just given birth and, was going through a challenging and heart-wrenching journey with my son's father. Ms. Otieno really took her time with me and, explained everything (document/claim) thoroughly before filing. I truly fell in love with Ms. Otieno and, really admire the woman she is! If you're looking for a lawyer that is very direct, extremely wise and, respectful: LOOK NO FURTHER!!! She is the one!!

She took down my information and never heard from her again

Excellent attorney. She was amazing. My situation was almost 4 yrs ago and we still talk about Ms Otieno to this day and how great she was.

Excellent attorney, she was very patient, HONEST and was truly looking out for my children's best interest! I didn't have confidence in my case and was intimidated just by the process alone but she was with me every step of the way and gave me the confidence I needed. Couldn't be more happy with the outcome! If you have a difficult case I would definitely recommend her!

I had the pleasure of working with Lindsay Stanton for my divorce. She was always very professional and helpful. On more than one occasion Mrs. Stanton was able to calm me down and talk some sense into me to prevent me from asking for something that might of cause me even more heartache, time, and money and wouldn't of gotten me the results I was looking for. If you are in need of a good divorce attorney you won't regret hiring anyone from Shelly Ingram's Law Office.

Shelly Ingram is a phenomenal attorney. She is incredibly bright, highly professional, detail-oriented, transparent yet supportive, warm and kind all at the same time (which is rare these days). Her staff exudes the utmost professionalism when dealing with clients and they all have excellent manners which is icing on the cake. If you want the best, hire Shelly Ingram!

Shelly Ingram was an amazing help and support during my divorce procedure. She is very knowledgeable, professional, always prepared; just talking to her made me feel better and more confident during that difficult time. I am very grateful for all her hard work.

Shelly did a fantastic job handling my full trial, divorce and custody case. She knows both the law and the nuances of judges and courts. She listened to me, she provided tough love in private when needed, and fully supported me in negotiations and court. My attorney fees were less than half of my ex's fees and the end result, while not perfect, met all of my most important needs.

Very Professional and excellent work done through the entire process by Shelly and team on my Divorce. Kept me grounded and well informed on the case. I will strongly recommend Shelly and team.

Avoid at all costs. Mr. Solomon is unprofessional, unmotivated, and incompetent. He is truly an embarrassment to the profession. Do not waste your time or money.

From the initial consultation, to the end of my case, Mr. Solomon was extremely professional, upfront and honest with me. He explained everything very clearly using layman’s terms. Mr. Solomon has excellent knowledge of the law and is extremely logical with great common sense. The circumstances of my case were atypical and required “outside of the box” thinking, of which he was exceptional. Mr. Solomon was always readily available, became invested in my case and was always thinking strategically, even beyond office hours. Throughout the case, Mr. Solomon showed high moral character, which was very important to me. He possesses a great sense of humor which helped lighten the mood, even during high stress legal situations. One of the best qualities, if not the most important, is that Mr. Solomon shines in the courtroom. His legal argument was superb, he was always very well prepared, but most importantly, he can think and react on-the-fly, if the situation changes. He is very comfortable in the courtroom, making you feel that you have a consummate advocate. Mr. Solomon has my highest recommendation. If you need an outstanding legal advocate in the matters of family law, you must consider him.

I cannot express enough positive feedback in regards to Alan. I have been working with him for close to a year on my complicated divorce case. Simply put, he is proactive, communicative, responsive, and relentless in his pursuit to win your case. He develops a great personal relationship with his clients, but at the same time isn't afraid to tell you how it is, giving great direct feedback and offering strategic direction for the case. He has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to practicing law in Maryland and knows the court system inside and out. Alan listens to his clients well and pivots to go in the direction they would like, all while providing great personal guidance along the way. Also, I was incredibly impressed by his demeanor in the courtroom. His ability to think on his feet in the moment and change course is second to none. I will be going back to him for all of my future legal needs, as I now not only think of him as my lawyer but as a trusted friend. If you want a highly competent, smart, knowledgeable lawyer that will do whatever it takes to win your case, while doing right for his clients, look no further.

Alan represented me post trial in a matter where the judge denied me shared custody and had me paying more than I possibly could in awards and alimony to my ex-spouse. I hired Alan with the specific goal of reversing this order, and he had the judge actually reconsider key points of the original order. I received shared custody and the judge greatly reduced the monetary awards and payments to my ex-spouse. Since then, the relationship with my children has been great, I have been able to provide for them, and can continue living comfortable. As an added bonus, Alan represented me when my spouse appealed the judge's new order. He successfully argued in front of appellate judges. Alan is knowledgeable and courteous. He fights hard against opposing counsel. I cannot say enough good things about him.

Knowledgeably tenacious with the goal of simplicity and equitable results. Alan is versatile with looking at the full situation and finding different avenues to meet the needs for his clients. After going 15 years without parental support for my disabled daughter Alan argued for an agreement that allowed for continued support rather than argue for months about back money. This has been a huge positive for our lives and a bonus of an otherwise chaotic divorce.

Regina is a nationally recognized matrimonial legal expert. Her You Tube episodes guide the audience through the perilous world of divorce. I have know Regina both as a guest on her show as well as an attorney.A true consummate professional who I have know 7 years and recommended her to many times to clients. She exemplifies what it is to be a top notch attorney and educator. She is a leader in the field and always willing to help friends and colleagues.

Regina is a strong advocate for helping other women, both personally and professionally. As an active board member of the Women's Business Owner's organization, she serves as the Publicity Chair helping to promote the group to the community and assisting her co-members with various programs. Additionally, her Youtube videos serve as an inspiring platform for other entrepreneurs to share their ideas and mission with the public.

Regina responded within 24 hours. We scheduled a consultation for the next day. Very easy to talk to and I didnt feel rushed. She was honest and knowledgeable. Also took the time to send me some links and additional information that could be helpful for my situation.

Regina is an exceptional attorney who will guide you through this difficult time in your life, whether you are resolving the end of your marriage in court, or, preferably, through mediation or collaborative divorce. Although we live in different jurisdictions so she could not help me professionally, Regina helped counsel me as I worked my way through my own divorce. Her calm advice, depth of knowledge and understanding nature not only guided me on my personal path, but also inspired me to transform how I work with clients in my own practice. If you are in the DC area and are considering ending your marriage, going through a divorce, know someone else who is, or if you live I cannot recommend that you seek out Regina's legal counsel enough. If you don't live in the DC area, check out her Web site and spend some time looking through her many helpful blog posts; chances are she has already written about whatever you are going through!

Since 2007, Regina and I have teamed together working collaboratively as coach and attorney, as well as co-presenters at numerous professional conferences. I enjoy working with Regina. She is one of my favorite legal mind friends and continues to be one of my first referrals for my client’s legal needs. There are many large law firms in the Washington DC area. Regina offers individual attention that many large law firms cannot. She is super smart and a pleasure to work with.

After extensive research, I retained Alicia Lucero to handle my Marital Settlement Agreement case, which involved ironing out the details of my prenuptial agreement. From day one, Alicia worked tirelessly to prepare me for each and every step of my case. She presented my options clearly and thoroughly, answered my many questions to my complete satisfaction, negotiated effectively and settled my case efficiently. I highly recommend Alicia.

Outstanding Effective and Professional Alicia was an outstanding council to help me settle my divorce. She treated me with effective guidance based on her years of experience and was quick and efficient. From the day we first spoke she followed through in her word. She is very straight and to the point which is what anyone should want from their representation. It is obviously an experience that leaves many questions and Alicia answered them all for me. She knew exactly what our goals were and worked all hours to make it happen. I highly recommend Alicia!

I came to Alicia, unfortunately, in a complicated custody and protective order situation and at a disadvantage, but she managed to settle my case within more than reasonable time, saving me money and time (rare trait to not promote self interest in such vulnerable situation) and with terms that protected the interest of my children, whom are most affected by these negotiations. She ensured that my emotions did not lead the case and was always honest and aware of the possible outcomes. During emotional and stressful times, she ensured that it never clouded the true purpose of the case. She was responsive at all times of the day and with her extensive experience, I trusted her judgement. She negotiated with poise through the entire process.

Reg and Alicia where amazing in my family matter. I would highly recommend them to everyone. They both made me feel extremely comfortable during a very uncomfortable time. Thank you so much for everything.

Wonderful law firm! Alicia Lucero is absolutely amazing. She’s very intuitive and knowledgeable. Our case was a complete success through her professionalism and expertise!

    After extensive research, I retained Alicia Lucero to handle my Marital Settlement Agreement case, which involved ironing out the details of my prenuptial agreement. From day one, Alicia worked tirelessly to prepare me for each and every step of my case. She presented my options clearly and thoroughly, answered my many questions to my complete satisfaction, negotiated effectively and settled my case efficiently. I highly recommend Alicia.

She treated me with effective guidance based on her years of experience and was quick and efficient. From the day we first spoke she followed through in her word. She is very straight and to the point which is what anyone should want from their representation. It is obviously an experience that leaves many questions and Alicia answered them all for me. She knew exactly what our goals were and worked all hours to make it happen. I highly recommend Alicia!

As a former employee of Avery & Upton, I cannot recommend Bruce Avery & Prudence Upton more strongly. Bruce is empathetic and is incredible at finding the most direct path forward. Prudence is a fierce advocate who never forgets that "he who is reasonable wins." You cannot go wrong hiring Avery & Upton for your family law matter.

Went to Avery and Upton to enforce Court-ordered visitation. That was three years ago and I've never seen my child since.

Prudence Upton withheld information that the court could have used to determine the dangerousness of my son's father (her client). My son's father then went on to Kill my son. He is in jail, but Ms. Upton never had to account for her role in this tragedy.

Christy did an excellent job at handling my case. She handled everything in a timely manner, gave great advice, and kept my best interest in mind throughout the entire process. She even felt like a friend during the year we worked together. The rest of the staff is wonderful too. Highly recommended Christy and Avery and Upton.

Bruce and Prudence are awesome. They helped me through an ugly and sticky divorce and custody situation, gave sound advice, and represented my interests very well, both outside and inside the courtroom.

Mr. Hecht and Mr. Stepanuk represented my sister in an extremely high conflict, custody case. They went above and beyond to communicate, research, question and reassure our family every step of the way. They are the perfect team who work collaboratively to walk you through any issue you may have. The dissolution of a family is never an easy path, but this firm makes it feel like a walk in the park. Spencer and Jon are dedicated, passionate, knowledgeable, and good people who have your best interest at heart. I highly recommend Hecht and Associates!!!

Spencer and Jonathan are the best attorneys around! From criminal cases, to divorce cases, even traffic violations, there is nothing they do not have extensive experience with. One of my cases was out of the county, and the firm was more than happy to travel . If you are in need of any legal help, Hecht and Associates will not disappoint!!!

Spencer and John did an amazing job on my good friend’s custody case. They stayed in close contact, were detailed, assertive and supportive.

I had a great experience working with Jonathan Stepanuk on a case that took almost a year and a half. He is very knowledgeable, diligent and genuinely cares about his clients and goes out of his way to help. I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Spencer Hecht and his firm to anyone looking for a dependable and highly qualified law firm. I have had the honor of having Spencer Hecht work directly on my case and he has done an exceptional job. From the first day I walked into his office he listened to what I had to say and he put my mind at ease. I knew from the start I wanted him and his firm to represent me. Everyone at Hecht & Associates has been very warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and very professional. Spencer took the time to explain everything to me and always answered my emails promptly. Whenever a situation came up Spencer was always there for me and I always felt much better after speaking with him. I was amazed at how well he remembered every detail of my case, even at times better than me! He is very thorough, confident, and knows what he is doing. Spencer got me through the hardest time of my life and as he put it “My job is to make you whole again” and I can honestly say that is what he has done for me and it has been worth every penny.

Absolute professional, knowledgeable, detailed, and someone who genuinely cares about his clients. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, I got the results we wanted. I’m fortunate to have him on my side. His high-level expertise was matched with solid availability for my many, many inquiries and concerns, and on top of that, he is fully transparent, fair, and honest – I could not ask for more. Five stars! A true example of professionalism. Highly recommended!

Greg Abney joined my divorce case when it became apparent that it would be going to trial. His trial experience and expertise significantly improved the outcome of the case for me, far better than I had expected. His ability to effectively discern key aspects of the testimony, and evidence presented enabled him to effect critical objections, while laying out a picture of the facts for the court that were in my favor. Greg Abney has my strongest recommendation for those seeking a professional, and highly capable and effective divorce attorney.

I had a very good experience with Greg Abney, who was a very responsive, careful, and professional attorney. He has a sensible, no-nonsense approach to law issues, and he has very good attention to detail when it comes to documents. I would highly recommend him for family law.

I cannot possibly find the words to express my gratitude to Greg Abney for the services he has provided. His professionalism, patience, calm demeanour, understanding, knowledge, and above all, his kindness and compassion were vital in my divorce process. Greg’s approach is one that focuses primarily on compassion for the people involved in the situation while providing the best legal and professional advice applicable to the circumstances. He takes all factors into consideration and he communicates them clearly, and he does so without being harsh or tactless. He understands that people in this situation are already under a heavy amount of pain and stress, and he never loses sight of that. One of the most salient traits he displayed was his intention to and diligence in making sure my legal expenses were kept as low as it was feasible to do, without compromising the quality of service provided or his professional commitment and dedication. I will always be grateful to Greg for helping me through one of the most difficult transitions in my life, and I will remain grateful for having found him at the right time. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend Greg Abney; retaining his services was the best legal decision I have made in a long time, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions for my emotional and psychological well-being as well. You will be in great hands with Greg Abney.

I could not be happier with the services I received from Greg Abney. Greg represented me and I am deeply grateful for his service, hard work, legal knowledge, litigation skills, preparedness and passionate advocacy on my behalf. He is extremely efficient and professional. The outcome of my divorce was beyond my expectation and I would recommend Greg to others without hesitation! Thank you CP
