Verified ClientHired Attorney 2021-2022Going through a divorce process is one of the most emotionally, financially and psychologically draining processes. Divorces are very complicated and very intimidating, but hiring Richard Dood (Rick) to represent me during my complicated divorce case was, by far, the best decision through that process. Rick was very helpful, responsive, patient, very easy to talk to and always made time for me and hand-holded me throughout the whole process There aren't enough positive words to describe the level of professionalism, expertise, and quality of care given by Richard Dodd. He assisted me and was always very prompt in responding to any questions or concerns that I had. He handled the process with utmost zeal from the time I contacted him, to the discovery process, negotiations with my Ex’s lawyer, to settlement outside of the court. Rick always had my back! Once you work with him, you will understand why he is one of the most highly recognized family and divorce attorneys in the DC Metro area. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone!!!

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2020-2021I contacted Attorney Dodd after I had separated from my husband of several years. We had grown apart, yet a financial dependency kept us from moving on with our separate lives. Attorney Dodd helped frame a marital property settlement enabling us to sell our marital home and split the proceeds, but without alimony and keeping our respective retirement savings. With patience and civility we filed our mutual consent divorce nearly a year later. I’m grateful for Attorney Dodd’s efforts to move the process forward at the pace which we both could handle and his continuing assistance through the correct allocation of proceeds from the sale of our co-op apartment pursuant to the divorce agreement.

Hired Attorney 2020-2021I appreciated Rick’s advice and persistence in persuading my wife to negotiate an uncontested divorce. I had previously failed to respond to my wife’s divorce complaint which the court dismissed, largely because we couldn’t agree who would accept responsibility for accumulated debt for an automobile that she exclusively drove – until she left it (and accumulated traffic citations) in my driveway when she left Maryland! Rick filed suit on my behalf and negotiated directly with my wife (who was unrepresented), eventually gaining her trust and acquiescence to assign ownership of the vehicle to me. This was a very stressful time in my life but Rick’s coaching was comforting. I'm grateful for his guidance and legal counsel.

Hired Attorney 2021Attorney Dodd worked with me and my unrepresented husband to draft a mutual consent divorce agreement and expedite filing and obtaining an uncontested divorce, mindful of imminent immigration deadlines, and submitted the divorce directly to the Judge to eliminate the typical 40-day waiting period for a final decree.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
