It is an elevating experience to deal with someone who is as clearly empathetic as Mr. Pearlstein who can also maintain a leveled, dispassionate response to an opposing attorney and exact justice from a man who didn’t have to do the right thing. At almost 77, as a result of his efforts, I will be abl...e to maintain my independence and retain my dignity without fear of becoming a financial burden to my family. He made critical and timely suggestions that significantly altered the course of this case in my favor.

I hired Mr. Pearlstein after a thorough research and careful consideration. His AVVO reviews were raving and he appeared knowledgeable and well-respected. Once the attorney was retained, my case was without my consent passed on to a junior attorney with Mr. Pearlstein only overviewing their work. At ...several important hearings, Mr. Pearlsten was not present and passed my Court representation to one of the partners, unfamiliar with my case, which resulted in poor outcomes. I received conflicting information and advice from the junior attorney that differed from that of Mr. Pearlstein. There seemed to be no orderly flow in the way the case was being prepared for and some of the important strategies were omitted and short cuts taken. The ball was dropped on the case "homework" that was not completed in a timely manner and as a result, important expert witness testimony was omitted from the trial. What started out as a no brainer of a family law case that Mr. Pearlstein indicated he felt very confident about, ended up as a pitiful defeat, for which Mr. Pearlstein accepted no responsibility. If you are looking for strong representation in a family case, don't count on this firm. At the end of the day, you will be left with a sky high bill and a lost case. Once the case is done, you become no more then a billing number.

From the moment I stepped into Renehan Pearlstein office I was greeted by friendly staff who immediately made me feel welcomed and at ease during a really stressful time. Mr. Pearslstein was warm and inviting and made me feel very comfortable from the start. Throughout the course of my case, Mrs. Re...nehan has continued to gain my confidence in her skills and I firmly believe that she cares about me and my needs. I hired Brodsky Renehan Pearlstein for my divorce. They was very kind and helpful in making what could have been a very difficult and confusing situation into one that I felt in control of and confident in. They have also kept the divorce moving forward despite opposing counsel’s sluggish progress. They handled my case with the utmost professionalism. The staff was kind and attentive. Should I ever need a family law attorney again (cross my fingers I don't), I would certainly look to Renehan & Pearlstein for a guidance once again. . You and your staff have been wonderful. I highly recommend Mr. Pearlstein as a family law attorney.

Mr. Pearlstein and Ms. Renehan handled my case very professionally, responsively, and with great knowledge. My case was unique as I needed to transfer custody from another state to Maryland, which required a thorough modification. Having both of them made me feel safe and heard. They were always on t...op of my needs, meeting deadlines, and, best of all, they were there for me. They had the best interests not just for me as their client, but also for my child. They were very passionate about what they do. Lastly, their extensive experience in Family Law is what makes them a powerhouse in helping me achieve the custody agreement that I have wanted.

"In my opinion divorce is one of the lowest points in one's life, much like death. Faced with divorce, emotions are heightened, there is anger, resentment and the list goes on and one loses the ability to think clearly and rationally. The wrong attorney uses these emotions and feeds it to build bi...llable hours. The wrong attorney promises things that most often they know they can't deliver, again, just to build billable hours. At the end of last October my marriage started to unravel and suddenly within one weeks it came to an end. I was faced with having to hire an attorney. I always do lots of research before doing anything but time was not on my side. I studied the web, looked up many attorneys, read their bios, and read reviews as much as I could. I narrowed the field down to seven attorneys and tried to talk with them or to meet with them. Several of them never returned my call. I made an appointment with five. I had the good fortune to meet with Mr. Pearlstein as my second appointment and after leaving his office I cancelled all other appointments. He was and is amazing. He listened to me attentively, he never gave me false promises. What I really appreciated was that he did not take the position of let's fry the other side, and let's do this and that. As we worked together I began to realize just how fortunate I was. He knew exactly how to calm me down, how to communicate with the other side, he knew exactly what to do. He knows the law, what is the right thing to do and all along I knew that his most important focus was the best outcome for me and absolutely, definitely not building billable hours. I have developed such respect and appreciation for this man and I am so grateful for finding him. I am not much for writing reviews but if you are in the position of needing a family lawyer I would definitely say that he is in my opinion absolutely the best. During a divorce one stands to lose much with the wrong lawyer and to end up with an astronomical legal fee on top of the losses is not something that one recovers from. I believe that Mr. Pearlstein delivers the best outcome as he has done for me."
