Hired Attorney 2018-2021He was my lawyer for a complex custody case. This was my second time in litigation for the same case. During this second time around, I interviewed 3 different lawyers and chose Chris and I'm very glad that I did. He practices in Maryland and Virginia which is rare, and something that I needed for my case. He took an extensive amount of time for the consultation to truly understand the issues that I was experiencing and why I needed representation. He listened to me throughout the process and didn't do things without consulting with me first and never pressured me into doing things. He gave me the pros and cons of different options so I could make the best decision and tried to save me money wherever he could. He told me the whole truth of the situation without making guarantees never just telling me what I wanted to hear to try to get me to do things to make him more money. He also always stood up for me and continued to advocate for me when the other side was being unreasonable. He was a breath of fresh air especially compared to my first lawyer. For multiple reasons including the pandemic the case got dragged out for over 2 years but I'm glad that I had Chris on my side. He is ethical, reasonable, and if he is not familiar with something he takes his time to research so he is always prepared. The amount of effort he took to prepare for my case far exceeded what the other side's council put in which I think had a big impact of the results. I'm going to continue to use him for other areas of law if I ever need assistance and I've already referred people to him for their own situations.

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.
