One of the best lawyers out there! Didn’t have to go to court for my workers comp claim and he made the entire process easy. While it was stressful to wait he answered all of my questions quickly. Talking to him was very comfortable, like talking to a friend. Never had to wait for a return phone call always got to speak with his para legal, Amanda who is also a very down to earth most caring person! They both went above and beyond and I cannot thank them enough for what they’ve done for me. I will be back for any other services I may need SOMD Law for. Very affordable and professional. I would recommend this office to any friend or person in need of a 5 star lawyer! Thank you to Office of SOMD Law!

Fantastic people and good at what they do. Tucker and Amanda took care of all the heavy lifting on our car accident case and we are completely satisfied with the resolution. Easy to work with, easy to talk to, good about keeping you informed when each step is due to happen.

Tucker Clagett is an amazing Lawyer and Amanda Green is a phenomenal Paralegal. My fiancé and I are from out of state and had a car crash in Maryland. We called around and no one would help or take our case until we called Maryland Law. Amanda Green, one of the paralegal’s at this establishment, directed us to Tucker Clagett. He gave us our consultation and took our case, fighting for us throughout one of the most difficult times of our life. Amanda Green became our Paralegal on this case as well, and was very respectful, helpful and gave us both the most timely and professional responses. This was our first time taking on a lawyer for a car accident, and may I say it was all worth it in the end. We got a well deserved settlement from both Tucker and Amanda’s hard work. Maryland Law should be grateful to have such hardworking individuals. Thank you both!

Learn About Our Family Law Practice

Whether you are getting ready to get married, thinking about adoption, preparing for divorce, or dealing with any other family-related legal issue, it is important to make informed decisions based on sound legal advice.

As challenging as some family dynamics can be, dealing with family-related legal issues can be far more complicated. At Southern Maryland Law, our Waldorf family law lawyer works closely with our clients to offer individualized solutions. Additionally, we seek to achieve amicable results whenever possible.

How can we help you? The services our family law lawyers offer in Waldorf, Lexington Park, and other areas in Southern Maryland include the following.

Prenuptial Agreements

There are several reasons to consider entering into a prenuptial agreement regardless of your financial circumstances. Entering into a prenuptial agreement is commonly viewed as “planning for divorce.” But the reality is that these agreements can serve several important functions during a healthy marriage.

Adoption

We love doing adoptions! If you live in Southern Maryland and you are thinking about adopting a child into your family, you have several options. Our Southern Maryland family law attorney can walk you through these options in detail and help you develop your plan for moving forward. We can also assist with all aspects of whichever type of adoption you choose to pursue, from preparing for your home study to establishing the terms of an open adoption.

Divorce

The end of a marriage is painful and complicated. While getting divorced is a process, the process does not have to be contentious or overly complicated. There are several basic issues that need to be addressed in a divorce:

Property division
Debt division
Child custody
Child support
Alimony

The key is to address each aspect of the process in detail. This ensures that you do not overlook any issues that could lead to problems down the line. At Andrews, Bongar, Gormley & Clagett, we have handled divorces involving a broad range of circumstances. Our Waldorf family law attorney can help you make informed decisions every step of the way.

Child Custody

Whether you are going through a divorce or separation, if you have children, you need to ensure that your custody arrangement reflects your children’s best interests.

At Southern Maryland Law, our Waldorf family law lawyers can help you seek the custody rights you desire. We can also help ensure that your proposed parenting plan receives court approval.

In addition to divorce and paternity actions, our lawyers can represent parents in child custody modification and enforcement matters. If you are dealing with a post-divorce custody issue, we can work to secure a favorable outcome for you and your children.

Child Support

In Maryland, parents have a legal duty to provide financial support for their children. The Maryland Child Support Guidelines govern the calculation of child support in most circumstances. However, following the guidelines can be complicated, and they do not necessarily cover all child-related costs and expenses.

Our lawyers can explain everything you need to know. Our Waldorf family law lawyer can help you enforce a child support order against a parent who refuses to pay. We can also assist you if you’re struggling to make child support payments you can’t afford.

Alimony

While not always applicable, alimony plays a central role in many couple’s divorces. If you or your spouse is entitled to alimony, it will be important for you to work with an experienced Waldorf family law attorney to make sure you arrive at an appropriate calculation. We have extensive experience helping our clients address alimony during the divorce process. We also regularly assist our clients with post-divorce alimony modification and enforcement matters.

What do I do next?

If you need to speak with a family law lawyer in Southern Maryland, what are your next steps? You can read our Family Legal Guide for some important tips. Or you can contact us directly to schedule an appointment with one of our experienced attorneys.

At Southern Maryland Law, we offer a flat fee initial consultation for a reason: If you have questions or concerns, we want you to seek help. You should never be deterred from speaking with a lawyer due to financial considerations. We want you to have the information you need to make the right decisions for you. So we keep a flat rate for our consultations so you can get answers to your questions without incurring a large expense.

Too often, people let family-related legal issues linger. They don’t want to deal with the stress, they feel like they don’t have the time, or they assume (or hope) that the issue will eventually go away on its own.

Unfortunately, this passive approach often proves costly. Many issues can become more challenging to resolve if they are not addressed promptly.

During your initial consultation, you will speak with our Lexington Park family law attorney one on one. Everything you say will be held in strict confidence, and you will not be under any obligation to pay for additional advice. If you decide that you would like our help, we will clearly explain our fees so that you will know exactly how much you can expect to pay.

We serve family members throughout Southern Maryland. We are currently conducting initial consultations by phone and Zoom for individuals who prefer these options. To schedule an appointment, contact us today.

I was involved in a motorcycle collision in 2013, it required a year of physical therapy, and 38 days in the hospital. Tucker Clagett worked with my wife and I while managing all legal affairs for us. I had to only focus on my recover while he and his staff handled all other aspects of the claim process. Professional and fair in all aspects.

Client Testimonial

My consultation with D'Erra Jackson was excellent and very professional. I felt that she was very patient with me and answered all of my questions. She prepared me for what to expect and did not sugar coat the truth without being crass or offensive. She also took the time to give me options on what I should try to make sure I received a fair deal. With her preparation, we were able to work out an agreement that works for my situation. Thank you!
