Maryland counsel for family law, injury, and security-clearance matters.

Based in Columbia, we bring the same close attention to detail we learned working inside national-security systems — first in the Navy, then as cybersecurity consultants to the Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and Executive Branch agencies — to every case we take on.

Divorce, custody, child support, and military divorce — each with its own timeline and its own set of decisions that can’t be undone.

Our founding attorney served as a U.S. Navy Information Warfare Officer and later worked as a CISSP-certified cybersecurity consultant to the Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and Executive Branch agencies — work where a missed detail carried real consequences, not just paperwork ones.

That standard shapes how we handle every case: full documentation, careful review, and nothing left to chance.
