My lawyer was Amos Whitney and he was like a savor. I had to go throw divorce and it wasn't easy. My ex wife try to take everything and leave me with nothing and I was working very hard trying to make ends meet and I didn't have alot and he was a man that saw that and he help me so much. I would recommend him to anybody that a good person trying

I just finalized a year-long custody battle with my son’s father and I absolutely could not have done it without Ethan Dellinger. I usually don’t take the time to write reviews, but after everything he did for me, it’s the least I can do. I feel that I truly lucked out, finding him, as he came highly recommended by a friend. His rate was reasonable especially for a single mom like myself, and he is very considerate about billable hours. He encouraged me throughout the whole process to not back down on certain terms, how to deal with my challenging ex, and ultimately worked out a favorable outcome for both parties. Throughout the whole process, he was always easy to get a hold of, quickly responsive to emails, and very respectful of my time. The same goes for his paralegal Jamie who did an outstanding job as well. Anyone would be lucky to have Ethan fighting by their side! Thanks again Ethan and Jamie!

I came to Amos Whitney after he helped a lawyer friend of mine through her divorce. I needed some basic advice on the terms of a prenup with my now-wife. Amos's explanations were thorough and helpful. When we needed to hurry things along to make room for an early wedding, Amos made time for us to get things done. Together with his excellent support staff, he got us what we needed when we needed it.

Amos came highly recommended from one of his colleagues. I have a very unique multi-faceted case which is quite complex. This case is swiftly moving along. I have to say that Amos came in prepared and took charge. I'm impressed with his investigative work. He has a wealth of knowledge and gave clear direction. I like his no BS, straight shooter kind of approach. I really appreciate his honesty and guidance.

Amos Whitney is an outstanding specialist in separation and divorce services. I had a difficult situation that he guided me through in a professional and expedient manner. I was surprised by my wife’s decision to file for a divorce and the aggressive nature of the filing by her lawyer. I was totally unprepared. Amos counselled me to be calm, not escalate the situation and keep my emotions out of it. He explained the situation very clearly and offered several options on how to proceed. I wanted to avoid a tangle and keep the cost to a minimum. He explained how we could do that. He negotiated a de-escalation period and then got to work reviewing the proposed agreement with me. He quickly reviewed and drafted proposed revisions of the terms in my wife's proposal and had multiple discussions with my wife's lawyer. Shortly after that with both lawyers' consent, my wife pulled the complaint and agreed to work on our issues outside of court. We are now in marriage counselling and making progress working out our issues. I am confident that had we proceeded, Amos would have negotiated a very fair settlement. I highly recommend Amos.

I truly cannot say enough good things about Thomas Mulinazzi, Michelle Dauksha and the rest of the staff. Going through a divorce is such an emotional and difficult time but having Thomas and his team on my side was a godsend. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and professional, he is fair, honest, responsive, transparent, kind and has a wonderful heart. He has a true gift of successfully helping people thru the toughest of times and I was blessed to have him on my side. He is an amazing attorney and a phenomenal person! I highly recommend Thomas Mulinazzi for anyone needing a great lawyer!

He knows how you roll. Hands down. He is the best lawyer for custody ever.

Mr Mulinazzi is a seasoned professional. His attorneys are not as responsive or clear with clients. They dropped the ball many times. Currently, spending a lot of money to undo the mess they made of my divorce/custody case. Ask for the owner or choose another firm.

Grazie Mille Thomas and Team! Posted by Frank Sat Nov 07 2020 Thomas and his team has been and still is at this time, working relentlessly through my case with an opposing counsel that is unwilling to come to a sensible resolution despite countless common sense settlement offer attempts. His professionalism, patience and insight has been very beneficial for my case's future outcome. I'd recommend consideration of Thomas and his team if you are in this unfortunate situation.

My lawyer showed nothing but the hightest level of work, guidance, patience, and advice and fought hard for my and my girls best interests.

Ms. Laynor was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and thorough throughout the time we worked together. I always felt that truly cared about my best interests and made excellent decisions throughout my process.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Katie Thomas, Sarah Nesbitt and the entire FLAG team. I can say with confidence that my family situation would not be as positive as it is today without the FLAG team's support and guidance. They truly keep the focus where it should be, which is on the best interest of the child. Katie and Sarah were thoughtful, highly responsive and were very good at laying out my options and helping me make decisions and understand the potential outcomes for those decisions as well. I am tremendously thankful to the entire FLAG team for their work with me and on my behalf during an incredibly challenging time in my life.

Anna Lindner was my attorney at Family Legal Advocacy Group. I went into my legal situation with little knowledge of where and how to start. She was very helpful through the entire process, professional and very responsive. If there was ever a question or a concern, she and her assistant Crystal were always quick at responding and guiding me through every step of the way. I would highly recommend Anna and wouldn't hesitate to utilize her services in the future.

I want to thank Anne Laynor for helping me with a dispute I had with my ex over custody that was related to COVID-19. My ex agreed to meditation and Anne helped us work together to come to a speedy resolution. She is an excellent mediator who is extremely fair and truly cares about the children and what is best for them. She is represented by this firm and she has an excellent reputation as a lawyer and a mediator. I don't know what I would have done without Anne helping both families coming to an agreeable resolution. She was always available for a call or to answer an email and really helped to resolve a heated dispute quickly. And one last point, since meeting with Anne for mediation, my ex and I have started communicating effectively and have stopped the unnecessary bickering. Like the other reviewers, I would like to rate this firm higher than 5 stars but Google will not let me. Thank you Anne. I appreciate you helping me and my children out and giving both families a better way forward!

I highly recommend the Family Legal Advocacy Group, particularly working with Sarah Nesbitt for my custody/divorce/QDRO case. She's easy and flexible to work with, is SUPER organized and sharp, retains details and has a super memory about elements in the case. She understands what possibilities and limitations are in your case, and maximizes your money for what is possible to do or not. She's a family person, and knows how difficult these situations are for people, and tries to be factual about what to expect. I highly recommend her/her practice.

I have been using Corrie and Alicia for close to 15 years and have recommended them to family and friends over and over. It was always clear to me how personally invested they were in helping me and my children. They exhibit the highest level of professionalism and a clear understanding of family law and court processes. They are not cut-throat nor do they stoke emotions for a profit. They are compassionate, intellectual, success driven and seemingly always available. I wished that I never needed their services but I am eternally grateful to have had them supporting me through unarguably the most difficult set of circumstances that I have had to deal with.

Corrie Boulay and her team are very professional as well as caring. They made sure they communicated each step of the process so that I understood what to expect. I have recommended Corrie Boulay to others who have needed these services.

Really knows her stuff What deafly recommend to anybody that needs an attorney for this type of work

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

I was in the beginning stages of my divorce when the firm I had representing me dropped me bc of a misunderstanding and lack of communication. I was literally standing in court with out a lawyer. I was referred to Stacy by another firm while I was scrambling to find representation. I knew NOTHING about her. What a god send it turned out to be. She feverishly rushed to get caught up quickly. She gave me personal attention. There was no question who was helping me. Once she caught herself up, she and I easily planned how to communicate with each other. She made it clear and easy what legal jargon I needed to pay attention to. We communicated in a way that made me at ease with everything swirling around me. From there we made a plan for what we wanted to achieve on 2 fronts. Most importantly, custody of my kids, and then the financial agreement to follow. Following a late night buzzer beater we hammered out a custody agreement the night before our trial date. It wasn’t exactly what I wanted, but as it turns out, the schedule was exactly what I needed. Keeping it out of trial helped ease the tension between my ex and myself- allowing us to co-parent together for the best of our kids. The financial part was tricky. I was the defendant, a man, who needed alimony and child support due to a disease I developed during the marriage that would put me on indefinite disability. Without going into specific details, I was wanting a “fair” divide, and my ex didn’t want to pay ANY alimony. The judge ended up giving us way more than our offer to them was. I am so grateful to Stacy for not just the outcome, which I am, but for being there for me. Helping me not just as a “client”, but as a person. Spencer

Ms. Talbott is an extremely professional attorney who will advocate for you and what is in your best interest. She is compassionate, understanding and very level headed. She is a great litigator and was extremely professional and well prepared in trial. Ms. Talbott will help you establish your expectations, as she is very thorough and detailed oriented. When I would ask for something off the wall, she brought me back to reality and said that will never happen. Ms. Talbot picked up my case after a disastrous experience with an extremely toxic attorney. She made me feel welcome and at ease. I would highly recommend Ms. Talbot in any family law case. I will continue to keep her on retainer and I will be happy to work with her in the future. You get what you pay for! In Ms. Talbot, you get the best!!

I usually don’t post reviews, but the service that I received from Stacy was phenomenal and I felt compelled to share! She represented my son in a custody case and was honest and upfront from Day 1, making her intentions and expectations clear and concise. By including him in the decision making process, he felt relaxed and confident at an extremely stressful time. ALWAYS a true professional, Stacy gave the facts and the honest truth. She truly enjoys her work and it shows through the respect and courtesy in which my son was treated. By the end of it all, we were more than satisfied with her and would absolutely utilize her services again.

Stacy is a great lawyer. She is straight forward and will tell you from her many years experience and knowledge of the law what she believes are the possibilities regarding the outcome of your case. She is not only a good lawyer but is also very supportive and won't let you back down. Stacy is at the top of my list and I would not hesitate recommending her to anyone who is looking for a family law lawyer.

Ms. Talbott is an amazing attorney! I researched and interviewed a few attorneys before I chose Ms. Talbott to represent me in a difficult divorce. Ms. Talbott always made time for me, she is very responsive, and she is always looking after my best interests. More importantly, she has the knowledge, experience, patience, respect, and calm demeanor necessary for these difficult divorce negotiations. She is highly respected by her peers, this really helps the process because when she speaks, they listen. I chose Ms. Talbott because I knew that having her as my attorney meant that I had the highest chances of making my divorce process as smooth as possible and I knew that I would get the best result possible. From the beginning I expected that there would have to be compromises in the divorce negotiations but that’s just part of the process. I was able to accept those compromises because I could trust that Ms. Talbott was making sure I had the best chances of achieving my ultimate goals, and we did. Ms. Talbott took the time to explain to me the possible different risks and outcomes for each approach, she counseled and supported me in my decisions. Ms. Talbott is always one step ahead and she made sure that the language in the documents always protected my interests, this gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend Ms. Talbott and you should not hesitate to rely on Ms. Talbott’s legal services. The only thing I regret is I was not able to meet Ms. Talbott in person due to the pandemic was in full swing. Do yourself a favor and contact Ms. Talbott, you will thank me later.
