Family Law | Why You Need an Attorney

Family matters can be one of the most stressful legal situations any person can encounter. The stress, anxiety and emotions are running extremely high for all parties involved and it can be challenging if not impossible to make rational decisions. This is why it is important to contact a skilled attorney who can help you navigate the tricky legal waters around family law and make sure that your rights are protected.

Maryland and Washington DC family law attorneys can help with a variety of family and domestic issues including:

  • Child Custody
  • Divorce
  • Marital Settlements and Agreements
  • Domestic Violence

One of the most important times to have experienced and knowledgeable legal counsel is when you are going through a divorce. Divorce can be extremely complicated with property division, dividing assets, figuring out child custody and child support, but having a Washington, DC, or a Maryland divorce lawyer can make your experience so much easier and less stressful. One of the most vital roles your lawyer can play during a divorce is helping you negotiate a fair settlement with the other party regarding assets, liabilities and, in particular, child custody concerns.

Laws in every state are different, and they can be very complex to understand. One of the main reasons and benefits of contacting a Maryland and/or Washington DC divorce lawyer is that they know and understand these laws inside and out, and how it pertains to your particular situation. Your attorney will be able to advise you on what your best course of action will be according to the law. Filling out forms, motions and other legal documents can also be time-consuming and confusing and lawyers perform all of these tasks for you, so you don’t even have to think about it. Let an experienced attorney help relieve the legal stress of your family matters.
