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. Especially since I lived in Florida during the entire process and my case was in Maryland!!! Mr. Souder really was an advocate for my 2 infant children which is what I admired about him. 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

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.)

I hired Bottner & Associates to help with a post-divorce court order modification and a child…read moresupport dispute initiated by my ex-wife. While I'm thankful I ultimately retained my authority in matters of legal custody of my children--which was the most important outcome--my experience with the firm left me frustrated and disappointed. I initially chose Bottner because he had previously represented me in a bankruptcy case following my divorce. That matter went smoothly, as it was relatively straightforward, and I expected a similar level of professionalism and support. Unfortunately, what I encountered this time was far different. Despite paying roughly $5,700 over the course of the case, there was no closing discussion, no wrap-up email from his paralegal Amanda, and no "thank you" or "good luck"--just a consistent stream of monthly bills. That lack of basic professionalism set the tone for much of my experience. At one point, when I chose not to settle when the petitioner wanted to, and instead pushed for a final hearing, Mr. Bottner called me personally. I had hoped for a strategic conversation, but instead, I was met with irritation. He accused me and my ex of fighting like children over nothing. This "nothing" was retaining my legal custody of my kids--a matter that, for me, meant everything. I was also billed for the unpleasant conversation, by the way. Days later, when it became clear my concerns were valid, he did offer a brief apology. But the damage had been done. The dismissiveness I encountered in that moment was hard to forget. Throughout the case, I often felt unheard and overlooked, as though my concerns were just paperwork to be processed. At times there was no responsiveness, and I genuinely wondered if anyone at the firm had taken the time to truly understand my position. Once my retainer was paid, the personal engagement vanished. Watching the 2014 documentary "Divorce Corp" during my case helped me put the experience into context. The film portrays a family court system that can feel transactional, impersonal, and indifferent--and sadly, that's exactly how this firm made me feel during the seven-month long legal ordeal. There's a saying (often misattributed to Benjamin Franklin) that justice isn't truly served until those unaffected are just as outraged as those directly impacted. I lived through the other side of that--feeling like the people who represented me didn't really care unless it involved an invoice. Yes, I won the core issue (the judge seemed fair). But how you're treated along the way matters just as much. This firm may be effective on paper, but if you're looking for a client-centered experience, you may want to look elsewhere.

From initial contact his team was professional and helpful. We were not the easiest case, but Mr.Ward heard us out. He was attentive, meeting with us multiple times leading up to court. I can't stress how important this was for us as we were quite anxious. Each time we met with Mr.Ward he took the time to hear our points, reassuring us that he would do his best. He never made false promises and was honest with the potential outcomes. Regardless of the outcome, I wouldn't have regretted working with Mr.Ward. He was professional, considerate and sympathetic to our situation. Lucky for us, he was really great at his job and helped my fiance with his legal trouble. I can't stress enough how much I would recommend Marc Ward. Seeking a lawyer can be a vulnerable process but his team is worth every penny. One of the best lawyers in western Maryland!
