Prince George’s County Divorce experience

I cannot speak highly enough of Tomlin Law Firm for their exceptional handling of my divorce. From start to finish, their professionalism, precision, and command of the legal process were outstanding. Every document was drafted flawlessly, capturing each statement and legal nuance with absolute clari...ty and accuracy. What truly set Tomlin Law Firm apart was the judge’s explicit praise in court for the quality of their work—specifically applauding the professional and meticulous drafting of the filings and how thoroughly they reflected the legal proceedings. That level of recognition speaks volumes about the firm’s expertise and attention to detail. Navigating a divorce is never easy, but having a legal team that is organized, strategic, and uncompromising in quality made all the difference. I felt confident, well-represented, and respected throughout the process. I wholeheartedly recommend Tomlin Law Firm to anyone seeking top-tier legal representation during a difficult and important time.

Extraordinary lawyer! Attorney Tomlin is the best! Especially for high conflict cases

Thank you so much! I thank GOD for you! You did an excellent job every time you represented me! Yesterday was nothing short of amazing!!! Even the judge was impressed! God is so amazing!

Thank you so much!

Attorney Tomlin is the Truth!!!!

I would have given Attorney Tomlin 10 stars if I could. I was referred to Attorney Tomlin by a friend where Attorney Tomlin was the opposing counsel. He was so impressed with the way she handled the case for his ex-wife he referred her to me instead of his lawyer. My case was very emotional for me b...ecause I was being falsely accused by my son's mother and was facing a permanate order of protection from my son (and I'm the custodial parent.) Attorney Tomlin took my case on short notice, quickly came up to speed, crafted a succinct and honest defense and represented me with dignity and honor. After a day trial the case was dismissed. I was very impressed with Attorney Tomlin"s court acumen. She handled the judge and opposing counsel very effectively. She a star!!!! Additionally, Attorney Tomlin"s office was always very responsive and had knowledge of me and my case. Attorney Tomlin herself answered my calls when she was available and returned all my calls in a very timely fashion when she was not available. I highly recommend Attorney Tomlin, she knows what she doing!!!!

Best Family Lawyer

Ms. Tomlin and her staff has been a pleasure to work since day one when I had set up the consultation. I was referred to Ms. Tomlin from a couple of other people that had knew she was a amazing lawyer that produce great results. I was having a hard time finding a good family lawyer and lost cases due... to choosing the wrong lawyer. When I had my consultation with her she immediately guided me in the right direction and she was not worried about the outcome of my divorce case because she said “I should’ve been came to her, but I have her now and she will take care of everything for me”. Working with her staff was the best experience I had with lawyers they stayed on top of my files 24/7 and even reminded me when I didn’t complete a task. I felt at peace knowing they was handling all my documents in a timely manner. They are very organized and Ms. Tomlin always showed up to all my court date cases without me reminding her. I was able to save lawyer fees by just dealing with the staff. Ms. Tomlin was heaven sent because everything I asked for with custody I received in settlement and didn’t have to take it trial. She was able to negotiate and win the things I requested for. I saved lawyer fees since my case didn’t have to go to trial and she help me save more lawyer fees by having the other party lawyer write up additional paperwork. She really had me and my kids best interest. I really did wish I had her before I started my divorce case because I lost so much money and lost my child support case but once I started working with Ms. Tomlin everything was resolved and a very smooth peaceful process. I still can’t believe it’s really over with she made it feel so easy. Thank you so much Ms. Tomlin. I now have primary custody for my kids and the other party wanted joint. She is the best MD Family Lawyer and really helps with keeping down lawyer fees as much as possible. She really cares about her clients.

Professional misconduct

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 01/11/2017

Suspended 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.

Valeria’s comment:

“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.”
