Family Law Attorneys

Divorce law is a complex combination of family and civil law. The parties involved have to face the daunting task of understanding how the divorce process can impact tax matters, business valuations, and real estate transactions. At the same time, litigants must also deal with the emotional side of divorce. The end of a marriage can consist of issues including:

• A custody dispute
• Visitation rights and concerns
• Child support
• Alimony
• Property distribution

These matters must be examined, discussed, and negotiated, all at a time of increased emotional distress and additional financial burdens.

Litigants in a complicated divorce case that involves the division of property and assets are best served by an attorney who has decades of experience in both Family and Business Law. Mr. Rosenthal is a seasoned professional who has litigated a wide variety of non-family law cases as well as divorce cases. Most family lawyers lack the experience or skill in other areas of law that can often be useful during divorce proceedings, including business and corporate law, medical malpractice, etc. Representatives with legal expertise in these other types of cases are especially effective in getting a fair and equitable result, even during the most contentious divorce cases.

A Family Law attorney should be able to collaborate with experts from a variety of practice areas. Throughout their decades-long partnership, Barry Rosenthal and Jonathan Bromberg have provided the necessary teamwork on Family Law cases to help thousands of clients successfully navigate all aspects of their divorce. Mr.  Bromberg is an expert in real estate and estate planning law, as well as business valuation and tax implications, which experience complements Mr. Rosenthal’s years of experience in family law matters.

Every case is treated with a passion for achieving the best results for our clients whether the case lasts for several months, a year, or even longer. We are dedicated to giving you the time and support you need while guiding you to the finish line.

The teamwork involved in Family Law is not limited to collaboration with lawyers from other practice areas, or experts in other fields. Your case may require witnesses in the following professions:

• Financial Experts and Accountants
• Real Estate and Property Appraisal Experts
• Child Psychologists or Therapists

You, our valued client, are the most essential member of the team. Barry Rosenthal will work with you to provide comprehensive legal representation and create a strategy that feels comfortable to you, bringing the most optimal results. He brings compassion, kindness, hope, and dignity to the separation and divorce process.

The importance of trust when hiring a Family Law attorney:

You are about to embark on a relationship with a professional Family Law attorney that will be privy to a lot of personal information you would not typically divulge. Trust will be an important part of this relationship. There will be occasions when a proven legal strategy may cause a client to feel uncertain or uncomfortable. A Family Law attorney with decades of experience can make a measured, professional evaluation to follow a certain course that is in the client’s best interests, while the client feels uneasy with the proposal. In those uncertain moments during the divorce proceedings, an experienced attorney who is calm, likable, deliberate, knowledgeable, and trustworthy will help navigate you through those complex situations.

Bromberg Rosenthal LLC is a boutique law-firm that offers clients personalized service and availability. This is important, especially in contentious divorce litigations. Legal counseling and assistance are especially valuable in proceedings that include:

Child Custody Cases

When there is an emergency concern with your child, you have an immediate need for assistance. Your attorney will be committed to addressing any emergency issues. You need someone who will help calm the panic, explain your options, and bring dignity to the process for the parents and children alike. Our firm offers you direct access to your attorney when you need them most. You will not be funneled through a series of paralegals or assistants forcing you to tell your emotional story several times. As with doctors, our family law lawyers are often “on-call” for their clients in times of stressful child custody cases.

Pre and Postnuptial Agreements

One way to avoid the cost and uncertainty of divorce is to prepare prenuptial and postnuptial agreements either before or in the early days of marriage. We have extensive experience in this area and can advise on the best approach to circumvent future financial disputes. Your attorney can draw up an agreement that would be fair to your spouse while protecting the majority of your assets.

Spousal Support

Whether or not you or your spouse is entitled to spousal support (or alimony) is determined by 12 factors that are set forth in the Family Law Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland. Although no particular factor is construed to be more important than the other, factors such as the length of the marriage, the income and assets of the parties, and the reason for the dissolution of the marriage are often what ultimately determine the award, amount, and duration of alimony.
