give the extra mile and takes appropriate time to review the case!

I had a unique situation of a 5 day merits trial coming up in less than 5 weeks when my attorney (not Mr. Redmond) decided to quit on me. I have emailed, spoke, or interviewed over 30 attorneys in the past few weeks. I can honestly say Mr. Redmond stood out head and shoulders above the crowd. He was ...the attorney that cared! He stayed with me and kept checking in on me about the case and if I had found a lawyer. Due to governing rules of attorneys in Maryland, Mr. Redmond was very responsible in making sure that he didn't take on more cases than he could handle. When my history case docket is printed, it is at least 75 pages long and is very complex. Mr Redmond dove into my case to see if he could adequately represent me without overcommitting himself. This made unusual circumstances surrounding the retainer agreement. The point is Mr. Redmond had to do some outside-the-box-creative work to accomplish getting paid for his work (rightfully so) and yet not committing to the full case blindly. I hired him and he took the time to review my case. His fees were very reasonable! I appreciate how he took the due diligence for his current clients and my potential new case. He is respectful, compassionate, and quick to respond. Due to how litigious my family law matter is, I have seen and had to work with many lawyers over time (opposing party has hired prestigious and many lawyers). Therefore, I can say without hesitation, Mr. Redmond is one of the best. I highly recommend Mr. Redmond!

A lawyer that cares about your case and how he can win the case for you!!

Before I hired Mr. Vance Redmond, I was with an attorney who was giving me the worst advice/guidance and as a result, it was hurting my case. Worst of all, the first attorney I hired only cared about getting paid; she did not care about my case as I was just another client. I reviewed many lawyers on...line and found Mr. Vance Redmond, who received great reviews - It is definitely true what they say about him! Mr. Vance Redmond was honest from the start. He informed me that my case was difficult, but he will try his best to ensure that I have a chance to win my case. He also gave me options and reasoning behind each strategic move he proposes. As he assured me that the choices are mine to make, the reasoning behind each strategic move is important as it helped me decide the best action to take. In addition, he communicates effectively. He responds back right away to all my calls, voice mails, and emails. It’s definitely reassuring that you would get an answer during emergencies and he is with you every step of the way. Most importantly, he is a lawyer that cares about your case! His main focus was not the money, but how can he win the case for you! I definitely appreciate his hard work and effort. It really made a difference in ways that I can never thank him enough for. Vance Redmond gave me a voice in a way the court system would hear me. At the end, I have custody of my son, which is priceless!

Through Difficult Times

Vance was the second attorney I had to hire. My first one didn't get the results I was looking for and the costs seemed like it was never ending. I was stressed, worried and ten million other emotions I am sure plenty of others are familiar with. This ended up being an out of state case, since we wer...e both relocating and had planned on it. My initial conversation with Vance gave me a glimmer of hope. He was direct, up front and answered any questions I had. The follow up was quick and I was never left lingering in line with a number. The objective was to keep in mind the best interest of a minor, and through the entire process we stuck to it. This was my first time being in court, my nerves were shot, but once Vance got up to represent me I knew I made the best decision in this entire process. He knows what he's doing, and I needed someone that wasn't passive, wasn't reserved, I needed a firm direct voice and I got it with Vance. I would never wish this process on anyone, it's a pain, and when all parties just can't seem to get on the same page it feels like an impossible mission. I didn't think I would see the light at the end of the tunnel, I was scared, worried about my little one and what would be his fate in all of this, but no matter what I was feeling, I always knew I could reach out to Vance and ask anything I felt uncertain about. Vance will continue to remind you through your process that you can go to him with any questions, and will ask you if there is anything unclear he needs to explain further. If you want someone direct, professional and honest you will get that with Vance.

Great Attorney!!!

A friend gave me Vance's contact information and I am so thankful he did. I retained Vance during a critical time in my case after having a really bad experience with my first attorney. Vance handled my custody agreement, contempt order and my divorce. He made himself readily available and worked qui...ckly and smoothly to transition the case from my previous lawyer to him. He was informative and responded quickly to requests for information and assistance. I was reassured many times during endless stressful situations by Vance's quick e-mail responses. This was the most stressful and awful time of my life and I was lucky to have a lawyer who I could depend on. I made sure he knew what I wanted and he made sure to advocate accordingly for me. Vance always did a great job of listening and helped navigate me through the mess of the court system. He is a true professional and always speaks and dresses accordingly. He was aggressive and persistent when we needed to be and patient and calm when needed. Vance did a great job of working with me to provide me as much information as I requested and keeping me informed about everything . He listens and was also respectful of my time and money and that is rare to find in the sea of attorneys. Vance helped me stay involved without losing anything. He brought justice to me and my family and there is nothing more I can ask for.

Hoping to never see him again BUT should I need counsel, it will definitely be him!

Mr. Redmond handled my child custody and divorce in Anne Arundel County. I owe him more than money could ever pay. My maintaining custody of my children and being granted an absolute divorce can be directly credited to Mr. Redmond's aggressive and knowledgeable approach to my case. The opposing party... would never had settled if it weren't for the pressure put on them by Mr Redmond. I was also impressed with Mr. Redmond's extensive familiarity with my personal situation and my case. We communicated on a regular basis and he was always quick to respond when I needed guidance. When we talked, he never needed me to catch him up or remind him of details. He was always on top of it and knew exactly where we were and what I was talking about. He always discussed our options with how to proceed forward to ask for my input and how I wanted my case handled. I was always involved and included in all decisions and courtesy copied in all emails. In summation, I was blown away by Mr. Redmond's knowledge, professionalism, aggressive approach, dedication, and communication skills. I hope to never need his services again but should I find myself in that situation, I will absolutely call him. I've already personally recommended him to two good friends of mine!
