Guiding Clients Through the Divorce Process in Maryland
Going through a divorce is rarely easy; most individuals and families experience great emotional and financial turmoil during this time, especially if children are involved. That is why at the Maryland Law Office of L. Juanita Board, LLC, I take my role as advocate and counselor seriously. I offer experienced, knowledgeable and reliable legal representation, coupled with an understanding and compassionate approach toward your matter. My goal is to provide caring, quality legal representation for you and your family.
If you need an experienced family law attorney in Maryland, including Prince George's, Montgomery, Anne Arundel and Howard Counties, I encourage you to contact me online or call 301-345-2201 to schedule a free initial consultation. We will talk about your situation and how I can help you come to a positive, cost-effective resolution.
Attentive Representation and Assertive Advocacy
Individuals often struggle with the uncertainty that comes with divorce. What are the grounds for getting a divorce in Maryland? What will happen to my kids? How can I keep my property? How long will it take to get divorced? If you face questions like these, know that you are not alone.
I emphasize honesty and forthrightness with my clients. I will take the time to listen to your situation, explain the legal process and how your circumstances fit within the framework of the law. I handle both contested and uncontested divorces, as well as limited divorces, also known as legal separation. I am also experienced in helping clients seeking annulment of their marriage.
I never want my clients to be surprised or disappointed, so an important part of my job is to help you form realistic expectations regarding every aspect of your divorce, including:
- Child custody and visitation
- Child and spousal support
- Property division
- Qualified domestic relations orders (QDROs)
I will help you understand the factors involved in custody, support and property decisions, as well as what you can expect from the court. I will always explain the benefits and downsides of every option, so that you can proceed with confidence.

Finding a Positive Resolution to Your Divorce
I work hard to minimize the emotional toll that divorce can take and stress an amicable approach whenever possible. Required in many Maryland divorces, mediation offers an effective option that is less expensive and time-consuming than traditional litigation. Mediation is also less confrontational. Especially where children are involved, this method of alternative dispute resolution can be easier on all parties.
While we will explore all methods short of litigation, I am not afraid to bring your case to the courtroom if necessary to protect your — and your children's — best interests. An experienced litigator, I will aggressively represent you during negotiation and trial.
