About Us

Do you need an experienced Maryland divorce and custody lawyer?  If so, you’ve come to the right place. You can be sure Maryland Family Law Firm has what you need—focused experience in Maryland family law.

Maryland divorce and custody law is all this firm does. It is all it has ever done.

The most important thing we can do for you is to help you through your divorce or custody case so that after it’s all over, important family relationships remain.  If you share this commitment, Maryland Family Law Firm is exactly what you need.   Our policy is to offer the personalized attention of a small-town firm with the quality you might expect from a larger law firm.

 

 

Our job is to help you to make sound, well-educated decisions about your divorce or custody case.  We craft separation agreements and parenting agreements with the goal of ensuring they last for years to come.  In high-conflict cases, we are experienced at using the litigation process to reach the best result possible, often through a negotiated agreement, even if the agreement is reached on the courthouse steps.  On the other hand, if your case goes to trial, we are experienced advocates who help you reach your divorce or custody objectives.

No two divorce or custody cases are the same, so there is no single “right” approach to resolving family legal problems.  Our divorce and custody lawyers are able to adapt our approach to what you need, whether it is strong courtroom advocates in high-conflict divorce or custody cases or skilled negotiators at the bargaining table.  Our business model is based on a cooperative relationship between us and you, characterized by flexibility, learning and growth.

Even though we operate in a large urban area, we are committed to maintaining a friendly, professional, “small-town” approach, offering you the security, flexibility and easy access of Virtual Law Office technology.  Once you register, you have a secure personal homepage where you can send and receive documents and messages, pay your bill and keep track of your entire case file.

The owner and managing partner of  Maryland Family Law Firm, L.L.C. is Dawn Elaine Bowie, Esq., who is solely responsible for this website.  However, we maintain cooperative co-counsel relationships with other Maryland attorneys, who are primarily located in Rockville, Maryland.
