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.

Excellent attorney and always professional
Attorney Tomlin represented me for my child custody case and other legal cases. Ms. Tomlin does her due diligence when it comes to being prepared and making sure justice is served. As with most legal matters, they can be very stressful and seem hopeless. Ms. Tomlin always displayed concern for me and...
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.

Remarkable Attorney, Value for Skills, Met all Expectations
When I initially determined that I was going to have to move forward with what was then a highly contested visitation and custody agreement, I was anxious. From the moment I spoke with Ms. Valeria N. Tomlin she was able to quell these concerns. She is skillful and knowledgeable of custody and visitat...

A superb, knowledgeable, HONEST and compassionate attorney
Let me begin by saying, the single greatest testament to Ms. Tomlin's phenomenal legal mind, compassion, and integrity is my ex-wife requesting Ms. Tomlin's legal services for an auto-accident she was in this past October. We had a very bitter divorce & custody battle 7yrs ago and she lost with a gr...
"Ms. Tomlin is very professional, polite, and also well-versed in family law. She is prompt with all business matters and is personable. I would be honored to have the opportunity to work with Ms. Tomlin again."
"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. I do not practice in the same area so I have relied upon her when I have questions about family law matters. She has always been helpful to me in providing the correct advice regarding her areas of expertise. I would not hesitate to refer my clients to her because I know the commitment she has to her clients."
"Good with Judges and opposing counsels. Good at getting the right results for her clients. I endorse this lawyer."

"Ms. Tomlin is a very skilled attorney. She is very dedicated and detailed in her approach to handling her cases. She is always professional and a strong advocate for her clients. I endorse this lawyer."
"Valeria Tomlin is very skilled trial lawyer with excellent negotiation skills as well. I find her to be prepared, knowledgeable and professional; even in highly contentious cases. Hiring Ms. Tomlin is an excellent decision for anyone going through a divorce or child custody matter. I highly recommend her."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have seen Ms. Tomlin's commitment to her clients. She is a strong advocate."
"I had the pleasure and challenge to work with Ms. Tomlin. I found her to be an extremely knowledgeable attorney, I certainly learn a few things from her. She was friendly and amiable at negotiations and settlement, and very aggressive in litigation. She is all you can hope for in an attorney, particularly in a family law matter. I proudly endorse her and recommend her, as I have done several times in the past."
"From one attorney to another, Valeria Tomlin is a ROCK STAR. She has a great personality and is very easy to work with. I have served as opposing counsel on cases and co counsel on others. The practice of law is challenging. So it is always helpful to work with someone who puts her clients' interests first to obtain the best result possible. I would recommend Attorney Tomlin strongly if you want exceptional and zealous representation. Moreover, Attorney Tomlin is regarded highly among her colleagues and known to work well with others."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have referred my clients and other persons to Valeria Tomlin regarding domestic matters because she provides excellent and effective legal representation. I have had those same referrals, refer Ms. Tomlin to others, because of their own satisfaction, which many of those referred also have experienced. If you need aggressive, passionate representation, Attorney Tomlin does not waiver."

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.”
