Maryland Divorce Lawyers: Dawn Bowie's Resolution Priorities

What does a good Maryland divorce lawyer have to do to "win" a big financial case involving alimony?  Go to court and duke it out, no-holds-barred?  Or act as a tough and fair negotiator to get the most lasting settlement possible under the circumstances?

When you are looking for an experienced, Maryland divorce attorney, be sure you ask the lawyer to tell you what is their resolution priority.  If they ask what you mean, give them a scale.  Out of the last ten divorce cases you've had, how many have settled and how many have gone to trial?  If the trial number is bigger, you may want to think about whether you want to use that person.  The only winners in a trial are the lawyers and their fee petitions.  And those funds often come out of the marital estate.

What is my priority?  I do whatever I can to stay out of the courtroom and settle the case.  At Maryland Family Law Firm, L.L.C., our priority is to win cases with financial risk through tough, thoughtful and fair negotiation and settlement. I go to court only when it is absolutely necessary and I do a good job when I do, because usually, the best opponents I have here in Montgomery County aren't in court, they settle their cases.

If you need a fair, thoughtful, tough negotiator, you've come to the right place.  Call us today for help with your divorce.
