Family Law Lawyer in Rockville
Any legal issue involving your family can undoubtedly cause anxiety and worry. After all, the legal outcome can become a defining moment in your life. My name is Greg Abney, and I am a Maryland family law attorney. From offices in Rockville, I represent clients in family law courts in Montgomery County and throughout the surrounding counties. I founded Abney at Law, P.C., to provide one-on-one legal services for clients in the community.
I view every case through the eyes of my client, not simply as a case to be managed. You can count on me to provide personal and responsive help for your family law case. Whether you need legal guidance regarding a prenuptial agreement, help securing child custody and support or you are contemplating a divorce, I will work to protect your future.
Comprehensive Legal Representation For Family Law
There is no one-size-fits-all strategy to effectively resolve a family law case. Therefore, I stay focused on helping my clients through their legal challenges one client at a time. I am ready to help you meet – and overcome – challenging family law issues such as:
- Divorce: I am a skilled and experienced negotiator and litigator who helps my divorcing clients resolve complex disputes.
- Property division: Maryland is an equitable distribution state. That does not mean that all property and marital debt are split 50/50 down the middle. I work with professionals to determine proper valuation and an equitable distribution of property that will protect your rights and long-term financial interests.
- Spousal support: I help clients establish fair and accurate spousal maintenance or alimony in their divorce.
- Paternity: For unmarried parents, it is important to establish paternity to secure parental rights and establish child support obligations.
- Child custody issues: Throughout the divorce settlement or trial process, I will answer your questions about child custody issues and make sure your child’s best interests remain first and foremost.
- Modifications: If your situation has changed significantly since the court order was issued, you can request a modification to the support, custody or visitation arrangement.
- Protective orders: If you are a victim of domestic violence and abuse – or if you have been wrongly accused of it – I can help you protect yourself and your rights.
- Pre- and postnuptial agreements: I can help you review, negotiate or draft a marital agreement to protect your rights and interests.
I am conscious about keeping my hourly rates affordable. In addition, I accept a reasonable flat fee for uncontested divorces. I can also help you see the value of a legal separation agreement, prior to divorce, if you will benefit from a formal separation arrangement.
How Much Does A Family Law Attorney Cost?
Every family law case is different and requires unique attention. In addition, the legal issues involved can range in complexity. Therefore, the cost of legal services will vary. For example, if a couple who is getting divorced agrees on the terms of their divorce, the cost can be considerably less than if the attorney has to prepare for trial. In many family law cases, going through mediation can help facilitate a settlement agreement.
I come to work every day with a single objective: to help clients find an efficient and cost-effective resolution to their legal challenges so they can move ahead with their lives. I leave work every day feeling confident that I have made a positive difference in people’s lives. I also do everything I can to keep my office overhead low so I can pass lower attorneys’ fees on to my clients.
