Bethesda Divorce Lawyer

Overview

Deborah L. Webb is a divorce attorney practicing in Maryland and the District of Columbia for 30 years. She represents clients in all aspects of family law including negotiations leading to prenuptial and separation agreements and the litigation of issues related to the dissolution of marriage, child custody, child support, alimony, and equitable distribution of property.

Being a leader in the family law community is one of the main reasons that The Bar Association of Montgomery County named Deborah its “Family Law Practitioner of the Year” in 2015. Her colleagues often seek her assistance as a mediator to resolve complex family law cases. Deborah is a Fellow of the prestigious American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), and International Academy of Family Lawyers having met their strict standards for admission.

Being detailed, organized and discreet are Deborah’s key attributes. She is strategic and creative in helping clients achieve their goals.

She also has vast experience in representing clients in difficult custody matters involving addiction and relocation. Her clients include high net worth individuals, professional athletes, entrepreneurs and their spouses.

Having a criminal law background makes Deborah a skilled and strong advocate for her clients inside and outside of the courtroom. Getting the best negotiated settlement requires specialized advocacy and Deborah trained in negotiation techniques at the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School.

Divorce is highly personal. It affects every client, his or her children, and their financial future in their own unique way. Depending on the needs of the client, Deborah helps build a team of professionals to provide specialized advice, such as child custody experts, therapists, forensic accountants, investment advisors, tax and corporate counsel and estate planners to achieve the best outcome for her clients. Deborah excels at bringing cases to a resolution in an efficient and cost effective manner.
