High Conflict Divorce Lawyer Bethesda, MD

Divorce isn’t easy for anyone, but when your soon-to-be-ex spouse refuses to find common ground on anything, drags their heels at every request by your attorney, or is hiding assets and actively trying to make the process as difficult as possible, it’s time to call in heavy-hitting legal help. That’s us. As your Bethesda high-conflict divorce lawyer, we’ll protect you and take the lead on resolving your divorce.

We provide valuable, personalized legal advice so you understand your options under Maryland family law. Most importantly, we act as the primary point of communication between you and your spouse. If you don’t want to talk to them—ever—we can arrange it so that you don’t. If the two of you share children and need to establish a co-parenting relationship, we can help develop a plan to minimize contact and keep it solely focused on your shared children.

High conflict divorce is a marathon, not a sprint. You may have to appear in court, and you’ll certainly hear your ex say things about you that hurt or are untrue. Our legal team supports you at each step, helping you maintain your cool even when your ex refuses to cooperate or compromise. We fight for your best interests in the divorce settlement, developing compelling claims to present to the family law judge. And, if you’re ordered to go to mediation, or choose to try it, we are by your side, advising you of potential solutions. You’re in good hands with our firm.
