Testimonials

"Long story short, my custodial rights for my daughter had been terminated about 5 years ago (Fraudulent Child Protective Services Case). At the recommendation of another Attorney, I was forwarded to Mr Whitney who was extremely understanding of the situation and helped me through the process to get custody restored. My daughter's father was %100 on board, and everything was smooth sailing. Mr Whitney came up with a great plan and went beyond what I'd hoped the outcome would be. Not only did I have my daughter returned, but I was able to receive a degree of closure in regard to termination in the first place.

Having to hire an attorney is never fun, but Mr Whitney and Ms Harriss made the process as painless as possible.

Thank you for your time and attention in this case. We're extremely grateful.

"Lisa Pryor made everything about this experience as comfortable as possible. I was never in the dark, and she was always very straight forward about my options and my chances. On paper, the situation was bleak -- but Lisa's perseverance and ideas and skills ultimately saved hundreds of thousands of dollars. I couldn't appreciate her, her attention to detail, her skills, her honesty and her work any more. Most highly recommended!"

"Amos and his team were extremely professional and helpful from the start. He helped me negotiate a separation agreement, drafting the document and providing insight to help me avoid a potentially messy situation. In the end, he helped me secure exactly what I wanted at a lower cost than expected. Knowing that he was handling everything for me during this process allowed me the time and energy to focus more on other aspects of my busy life without constantly worrying about the divorce. He made what could have been a difficult process much easier. Would definitely recommend his services to anyone."

"I have been working with Lisa & Ethan for 1 year now. 3 things: 1. They remember details about my case that I barely remember. 2. They also give ideas to advance the case based on their extensive experience on Family Law cases. 3. Importantly, Lisa is likeable and knows how to get along with opposing attorney so that we can resolve the case via mediation and save trial $$$."

"I selected Mr. Amos Whitney to represent me through a year and a half of a difficult child custody dispute. During the entirety of the case, I constantly felt that I was treated with the utmost respect, professionalism, and kindness. After years of unsuccessful attempts to resolve issues around child custody and co-parenting myself, I reached out to Amos for assistance. Even though there were a number of unique aspects to my case, Amos navigated them all with ease and determination. He was responsive to my communications, provided honest guidance and advice, and was actively present at each meeting and hearing. Just as importantly, he centered my child's best interests throughout everything. I cannot recommend his expertise enough. And though I hopefully will not need to obtain an attorney in the future, I would without hesitation request his professional services again. I am beyond grateful and so thankful to Amos!"

"Retaining Amos is definitely one of the best decisions that I have made for my divorce case. He and his team at Weinberg & Schwartz, L.L.C. have been truly instrumental in guiding me through the lengthy and bumpy divorce mediation process. Amos is incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated, with tremendous experiences. Through the entire mediation process, he was thoughtful and thorough in explaining different options and potential outcomes. All those clear, professional, and thoughtful advice and strategies as well as consistently strong encouragement from him brought me the confidence and strength that was badly needed throughout the mentally-exhausting process, particularly in those few occasions when the mediation almost got abruptly derailed. In addition, Amos, Heather, and other members at Weinberg & Schwartz are very responsive, always being there to listen to me and to provide timely respond to my inquiry or communication. I felt so grateful for their kindness and courtesy. With his extraordinary professionalism, diligence and thoughtfulness, Amos really sets himself apart. I am very happy with the outcomes, and I highly recommend Amos and the team at Weinberg & Schwartz. "

"Amos was very helpful in dealing with my case and helping me get an agreement."

"Ethan has been an integral part of my "family law journey" the past 5 years. He and his team have worked diligently to provide the best possible outcomes while doing their best to avoid driving up costs unnecessarily, even through often-trying situations. We have been through two settled consent orders and a third action resulting in a positive ruling. In all circumstances, Ethan has proven to be professional, reasonable in his guidance around expectations and legal strategy, and well-organized. I would also like to specifically highlight that he is *exceptional* when it comes to deposition/cross-examination time. I would further add that it is not just Ethan who is great, but his entire office. His legal assistants also deserve their own shout-outs as competent and expedient as well. Jolie Weinberg also deserves mention as particularly exceptional in her field, she is a tough litigator and highly-experienced in family law. Their services are, in general, highly-human-focused and seek compassionate outcomes that focus on the actual *people* involved, and from what I can see, they seek to do what's right, not just "win"."

"My experience with Mr. Theodore Warner was excellent. He was always available to work on my case and worked with my situation no matter how difficult the task presented itself to be and helped me accomplish things efficiently."

"Amos Whitney helped me quickly file and receive a protective order against a former partner. He took my call over the weekend, guided me through the entire process, told me what to expect, and helped me prepare for the hearing. He came to the hearing with me and made sure that I had zero contact with the defendant. He made me feel safe and secure and was extremely knowledgeable. I knew Amos had my best interest in mind and that I could trust him wholeheartedly. Even after the case was over, he answered questions from the defendant and kept me updated so that I would not have to deal with him directly. For what was a terrifying situation and something that no one ever wants to go through, I was so grateful to have Amos by my side throughout the process."

"I was in a bad way and needed someone who would fight for me and my time with my daughter. Amos Whitney from Weinberg & Schwartz stepped in like a guardian angel and fought for my rights as a parent. Now I have much more time with my daughter and have legal rights to her and that's all because of Amos being professional but fierce."

"Ms. Weinberg helped me through my divorce mediation and settlement. I was extremely pleased with the final outcome. She gave me sensible advice and was able to talk through a variety of possibilities and scenarios, some that we wanted to happen, and others that we wanted to avoid. She was factual and task-oriented when that was needed and was sensitive and supportive when that was in order. And she is tough. My ex's attorney was a tough negotiator, and Ms. Weinberg was rock-solid."

"I was referred to Marni Schwartz for my divorce proceedings and must say that I am very impressed with her highly qualified professionalism and the outcome. I know this is such because the lawyer for my first divorce did not handle my case with any where near this level of skill or concern. Additionally, everyone that I dealt with at Weinberg & Schwartz, L.L.C. from the time I walked into the office, to every phone call was handled with the utmost of courtesy, kindness, and respect. I would give Marni and this firm 10 stars if I could!"

"THE BEST DECISION I MADE was hiring Amos Whitney. After my divorce was finalized in 2017, I was saddled with Alimony for a fixed time period of 5 years and then after that, I was ordered to pay for life!!! Toward the end of my 5 years, I knew I needed a better attorney than the one I had previously. So, I set out to find the best for my situation. Not only did I find the best lawyer, firm, and associates, but I found one of the most efficient lawyers/practices I've ever been involved with. Amos listened to my concerns, goals, and needs. He worked with me on the realism of my case, and he managed my expectations. He took the emotion out of it, which really helped me stay focused on the end goal. I would highly recommend Amos and the firm. I do need to give a huge shout out to Jamie, Amos' assistant, she was so helpful and her quick responses to my needs and questions were amazing. A great team for sure. Amos was so good communicating in a timely manner. I would be happy to give a referral if needed."

"Thankfully, Amos Whitney and Jamie Goldberg came to the rescue. Their entire staff was incredibly empathetic, knowledgeable, and above all, ETHICAL. As a local public school educator, that means so much to me. Everything that Amos did was above board and highly-principled, which further attests to the level of professionalism at Weinberg and Schwartz. I was also very impressed that they remembered me--I didn't feel as if I was "just another client". Whenever I called or emailed, they were able to recall right away the details of my case and listened intently to my concerns. That alone helped put my mind at ease and made my family and I feel much safer. After working with Amos Whitney and the staff at Weinberg and Schwartz, I would without a doubt recommend them to anyone in Maryland who needs advice from a phenomenal group of family law experts. Their advocacy has left an indelible mark on my life, and I cannot thank them enough."

"Marni and her staff were very professional and caring from the beginning to the completion of the process. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a family lawyer!"

"Mr. Theodore Warner is an excellent lawyer. I have Aphasia. He took the time to answer my questions. He was so patient with me. I recommend him for legal issues."

"Jolie did an outstanding job making very easy for my teenager son to return to his high school in Columbia. His mother, who had physical custody, moved with him to Virginia, regardless of his needs. Within a month after trial, he was back at Wildelake with his friends."

"My lawyer was Amos Whitney and he was like a savor. I had to go throw divorce and it wasn't easy. My ex wife try to take everything and leave me with nothing and I was working very hard trying to make ends meet and I didn't have alot and he was a man that saw that and he help me so much. I would recommend him to anybody that a good person trying."

"I just finalized a year-long custody battle with my son’s father and I absolutely could not have done it without Ethan Dellinger. I usually don’t take the time to write reviews, but after everything he did for me, it’s the least I can do. I feel that I truly lucked out, finding him, as he came highly recommended by a friend. His rate was reasonable especially for a single mom like myself, and he is very considerate about billable hours. He encouraged me throughout the whole process to not back down on certain terms, how to deal with my challenging ex, and ultimately worked out a favorable outcome for both parties. Throughout the whole process, he was always easy to get a hold of, quickly responsive to emails, and very respectful of my time. The same goes for his paralegal Jamie who did an outstanding job as well. Anyone would be lucky to have Ethan fighting by their side! Thanks again Ethan and Jamie!"

"Amos came highly recommended from one of his colleagues. I have a very unique multi-faceted case which is quite complex. This case is swiftly moving along. I have to say that Amos came in prepared and took charge. I'm impressed with his investigative work. He has a wealth of knowledge and gave clear direction. I like his no BS, straight shooter kind of approach. I really appreciate his honesty and guidance."

"I met with multiple attorneys before deciding to work with Jolie Weinberg and Ethan Dellinger. Ms. Weinberg came highly recommended from multiple people including fellow attorneys. Their recommendations, communication, and professionalism are above reproach. At times my case was very complicated yet they remained laser focused on my best interests. Mr. Dellinger has been direct and steadfast with his recommendations both legally as well as personally. I have never regretted or doubted my choice to work with this firm. They are well regarded in all aspects of the legal community and that is because they have built an excellent reputation. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs tenacity and legal proficiency."

"Marni and her team are EVERYTHING!!! Professional, knowledgeable, and caring. Marni took the time to really listen to me and customized a plan that met my needs perfectly. Worth every penny!"

" Mr. Whitney was most helpful throughout my divorce process. He and the office staff were knowledgeable, communicative, thorough, and prompt in handling all of my concerns, and the outcome was perfect. I really appreciate all the help through a very trying time."

"We have used this law practice for several years, mainly for a divorce and wills. The staff are professional and dedicated to quick and positive outcomes. Highly recommend!"

"Jolie Weinberg is a great advocate. She worked for me in a collaborative divorce, and was passionate about getting to an equitable solution while keeping my children's well being paramount. Although ultimately, the other party in my divorce was unwilling to be an honest partner in this process, and I had to move on to a different attorney, I am grateful to Jolie for her intellect, and full attention to my case. Jolie is easy to talk to and has a unique ability to represent her clients from all angles and with integrity."

"Great firm, handled my case professionally courteously, looks at best interests of all, fair to all. They were detailed oriented, to the point and best at finding constructive solutions that saw the best for all parties."

"From our initial consultation- even before I selected him as my attorney, Amos Whitney offered great advice. He did everything possible to get me the divorce settlement I deserved. My ex had a horrible lawyer and Amos repeatedly went above and beyond to show him how to do things, such as re-writing the opposing sides initial document for divorce and telling the other lawyer how to file answers to the court on line. Amos knew my budget was tight and worked with me to see things thru to the end. I would definitely recommend Mr. Whitney to anyone!"

"As a father being sued for additional child support I was very concerned about the potential legal outcome and the overall complexity of the case. Amos did a fantastic job at reducing the matter to the material legal issues at hand and working hard to get a fair resolution to the matter. Amos kept it out of court, keeping costs down, and negotiated a fair settlement that protected me and was in the best interests of my children. He also made sure that I was protected from the matter being re-opened in the future. I cannot recommend him strongly enough."

"The Weinberg & Schwartz, L.L.C. Pension/QDRO Center is a great resource for our firm and our clients. They have the experience and skill needed to navigate through the complexities of transferring retirement assets incident to a divorce. The Center has always been thorough and responsive to our requests, and we highly recommend them."

"Weinberg & Schwartz, L.L.C. have an excellent team. I was very lucky to have worked with Jolie Weinberg in particular. Jolie is an excellent attorney – she came recommended to me from my contacts in local public education where I served on and chaired a number of committees for PTA and the Board of Education. She is very well known and respected in those circles. After a long and drawn out contested divorce a decade and a half ago – it is difficult to even compare “life before” and “life after” her expert support. Jolie is exceptionally gifted at using the law as the tool it was intended for – to “heal” or “make one whole” As a single father with two daughters in tow – and a former spouse who seemed to wish to use the Court as a tool to punish us in any possible manner for leaving an abusive situation – Jolie was exceptionally brilliant. And she offers so much more than to simply represent your legal rights. She is well connected to the fabric of our community and has colleagues and connections in other disciplines to help with social services, counselling, psychiatric support, and finance. She is your consummate “one stop shop” for expert legal support – and connections to other support - to achieve a complete and whole life in the post litigation phase. My daughters have grown up to be professionals and are now happy and secure – and I owe the most instrumental phases of this to Jolie and her expert navigation to achieve a trio of happy and productive lives. This is such a stark and sharp contrast to the previous tumultuous life that we had endured before our new rich life… Ms. Weinberg has clearly earned a huge cache of “karma points” in her career….. She is the best!"

"My aunt had a wonderful experience with this law firm. The following is her review:
I’m thankful I met and got to know Amos Whitney of Weinberg & Schwartz, L.L.C., a family law firm in Columbia, MD. A competent and knowledgeable lawyer, he guided and helped me accomplish the three important documents and put my wishes in place. I’m glad everything is now settled and in order giving me a peace of mind. Amos and his staff were very helpful and patient during the whole process. No doubt I would recommend this firm to my friends."

"Marni Schwartz is worth every penny. Women should always look for professional guidance in order to avoid being intimidated. I appreciate your expertise and guidance throughout this process."

"As a person involved in a complicated divorce, I cannot praise enough the attention I received and the quality of the work performed on my behalf by Weinberg & Schwartz, L.L.C. in general and Jolie Weinberg and para-legal Trevor O'Connor in particular. I know whereof I speak because I come from a family of lawyers and my daughter, who is a lawyer, followed the case closely. I certainly will recommend Weinberg & Schwartz, L.L.C. to anyone seeking legal assistance in any matter of family law."

"Ms. Weinberg was highly recommended to me by a friend’s attorney. I have found her to be THE BEST one can get. Despite her busy schedule and long weekend coming up she drafted a document for me within 24 hrs of my meeting with her to make sure that things didn’t have to wait. And as a BIG PLUS she has the best, softest and kindest attitude that one needs during the tough times. Thank you Ms. Weinberg."

"I had a very difficult case and Amos handled it better than I ever thought was possible. He went above and beyond to ensure we were doing everything in the best interest of my family and more importantly my son. He was very informative and really helped walk my family through the case as best as possible. He explained things and for a first time custody battle that really helped me understand what needed to be done to achieve our goals. He recommended a great counselor, BIA (Best Interest Attorney) and really went above and beyond to ensure that I had the best legal advice that we could have asked for. I would recommend Amos to anyone that needed a good family attorney. I have absolute no complaints with anyone at the firm. His paralegal Cindy was also extremely helpful and worked very hard to help us with everything when she could. Could not be happier with the way they handled my case."

"Jolie Weinberg and Ethan Dellinger of Weinberg & Schwartz, L.L.C. were instrumental in getting me through a difficult divorce. From the first consultation to the signed agreement, they were both kind, patient and exceptionally knowledgeable in securing me both peace of mind and the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend them both as they went above and beyond and made the overwhelming situation manageable. They were always accessible, often reached out to me and were always one step ahead of the developments."

"Jolie Weinberg, simply put, is THE BEST! She is so smart, supportive & thorough. She was wonderful to work with, even at the most difficult time in my life. She is a powerful advocate & got me an advantageous result, without the anxiety or cost of litigation. I’ve recommended her many times & do so highly & without reservation."
