We settled…read moreon Lena's firm because they specialized in this type of work, were up front on the costs, and gave us excellent advice as we began the journey. We are very pleased with the results and would highly recommend this firm for will and trust creation. But there's a warning. You need to do your homework while you process the drafts and figure out what YOU want to do which may not be the easiest thing to do. Take the time. It took us more time than we expected (our fault) to review the draft documents. We did two hard copy drafts and one draft where we just exchanged the modifications. It's a journey, not a desitnation.

Now, I've worked with several lawyers in my career and up until then, I could honestly say that I had little trust/respect for the profession and it was with trepidation that we made an appointment with Marshall. I am so pleased to say that Marshall exceeded all our expectations and allayed our fears within our first appointment! He's a very warm and easy person to talk to and was so patient when answering questions or explaining things. It was a genuine surprise to find a lawyer we could trust and respect in such short order. Marshall kept in touch with regular status updates, as well as calmed our nerves with his extensive knowledge on the steps (plus average length of time) that these issues typically take to resolve. I cannot say enough good things about Marshall and the practice. I heartily recommend Marshall to anyone with similar issues -- you will not be disappointed with the results! (Thanks again Marshall!) (Note--We especially appreciated his willingness to give us an in-person appointment considering we were still in the midst of a pandemic and vaccines had not rolled out yet. Social distancing was practiced during our time there.)

Carla Clarke is a horrible BIA! Her priority is not the best interest of a child. Her priority is…read moreto appease her attorney buddies and or colleges. You will be pleased with her if your attorney and her are friends or have worked together in the past. This is what happened to us. She didn't care about my step son's needs or wants. She spent a total of maybe 3 hours with him and made a determination that he was ill equipped to speak for himself at almost 13 years old. She ignored the professional opinions and advice of his doctors and healthcare providers or his school officials. She made her own conclusions based on zero facts. The court deems her to be credible so beware of her intentions. She will absolutely not make a sound recommendation for the betterment of your child/children. As mentioned before, she will side with an attorney she is friends with. Your child will absolutely not be her priority. Read that sentence again. It will not be a fair trial and the child/ children involved will have no say and have zero benefit. A Best Interest Attorney should care about the betterment and well-being of a child. This is not the case with Carla. There is a lot of elbow running so ask her if she is friends with your attorney. If she is, you are lucky and will probably win. If you would like someone who will fight for your child and their needs and listen to your child's doctors or their concerns please do not hire Carla. As parents you aren't even allowed to question her or disagree with her recommendations or she will cry out that she's being attacked. She's a horrible attorney. Unfortunately she is one of three BIA's in the Frederick County Court and I can't speak about the other BIAs. If they are anything like her, you're better off hiring someone outside of the Frederick court system. Hope this helps anyone in our situation. I am not a disgruntled parent because we didn't lose and my step son is a content child with the custody outcome. But the fight was long, expensive and a complete waste of time when you are not only litigating against the opposing party but also corrupt attorneys.

Mr. Souder and his staff were beyond remarkable during my divorce, custody and child support case,…read morewhich was a long process. Their professionalism, prompt response to all my calls and the care they showed for me was more than I could have asked for during this difficult time.

He took my calls and responded to emails outside of business hours again showing his level of care and diligence in my case. No one wins in a divorce with children however Mr. Souder did accomplish what was important to me. I sincerely thank him and his staff! Sincerely, Seeta
