At The Weisbaum Law Firm, I help people solve problems. My law firm represents individuals, families, and businesses in matters related to business contracts, family law, and personal injury. Serving clients such as these since 1991, I have a reputation as an effective advocate who works diligently to get results for clients. For more information about my legal practice and my Rockville, Maryland, law firm, contact me for a free initial consultation.
My law firm focuses on helping people in areas such as:
- Collaborative Law & Mediation: When parties are willing to work together, either collaborative law or mediation can be an effective and less costly way of resolving issues between divorcing spouses. I have fulfilled the requirements for certification as both a collaborative law practitioner and a divorce mediator.
- Family Law Overview: Family law is more than divorce. I help with issues such as prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, paternity rights, grandparent’s visitation rights, and all issues related to divorce, custody, visitation, and support.
- Separation Agreements: I draft separation agreements for couples who wish to resolve property, custody, and support issues before a divorce. I also help individuals who wish to challenge existing separation agreements.
- Divorce: I urge divorcing clients to resolve as many issues as possible using collaborative law techniques or mediation. This approach is often less costly and usually far less contentious than simply fighting about the issues in court, where the divorcing parties lose the opportunity to make the final decisions about these important issues.
- Child Custody: I help parents work toward custody arrangements that work for them and are in the best interests of the children.
- Child Support: Child support in Maryland is calculated according to a legally mandated formula also known as “child support guidelines”. I can assist clients in obtaining child support that is consistent with state guidelines, or modifications to existing child support orders that are no longer within guidelines.
- Personal Injury: My firm represents individuals and the families of individuals who have been seriously injured or killed as a result of the negligent or wrongful conduct of others. I have obtained significant monetary settlements in simple and complex cases in Maryland and the District of Columbia.
- FELA & Railroad Injuries: My firm represents railroad workers across the country for on-the-job injuries covered by FELA (Federal Employers Liability Act). FELA is the exclusive remedy for railroad workers who suffer workplace injuries caused by employer negligence. It is critical that injured railroad workers know their rights when they are injured on the job.
- Contracts & Commercial Litigation: I represent businesses and entrepreneurs in contract and other business disputes. Mediation and other alternative dispute resolution techniques are usually less expensive than litigation. However, litigation is sometimes the only way to reach a decision. In such cases, I am a vigorous advocate for the rights of my client in court or during settlement negotiations.
