Family Law is personal, emotional and unlike many other areas of law. You have probably noticed that I do not have a picture of me in a suit or the traditional attire one expects to see. It is important that my clients see me, feel comfortable and understand they can share. No judgment. Coming into a stranger's office and revealing your private hurts and challeges is difficult. I believe it is important to meet my clients where they are which enables me to represent them zealously and professionally. Your attorney is handicapped if you are unable to share the truth.

Unparalleled
Attorney Tomlin’s delivery in the courtroom is unparalleled. I was in a 10-year bizarre (loveless) marriage, with two young children, that had devolved into me being responsible for providing not only for the children, but for their father, as well. Through the course of the relationship, I discove...

Thank you Anthony for your kind words. You are a dutiful father and it was my pleasure standing up for you. I’m here if needed but I hope it’s not necessary. Tell the Mrs hello. She was a joy as well.

"Valeria is caring and responsive and very knowledgeable about her subject area. Other attorneys I know have complimented her work and I do as well.

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2024.
Commission Reprimand issued in MD, 2024
updated on 08/26/2024
Indefinite Suspension issued in MD, 2011
updated on 01/11/2017Suspended indefinitely means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for an unknown period of time. The attorney will need to re-apply for admission to the Bar if he or she intends to resume practice in the future.
“My suspension was unrelated to the practice of law and precipitated by another attorney NOT a client. I exercised poor judgment on one occasion and for that I was sanctioned. At NO point did I ever jeopardize my legal clients. As a result I have taken full responsibility for my actions. In October 2011 I agreed to a thirty day suspension and used that time to reflect. I now take two, 30-day admin periods each year to regroup and recharge to better serve my clients. I resumed in November 2011.”
