Jolie Beth Weinberg's Lawyer Endorsements
"Jolie is a good attorney and is able to find consensus on challenging issues. Her mediation skills are excellent."
"Ms. Weinberg is an experienced, well-qualified, knowledgeable, and compassionate family law mediator. I have had the pleasure of representing several clients who have mediated their cases with Ms. Weinberg. Parties can attend mediation with or without counsel present. In either scenario, Ms. Weinberg ensures that all parties feel comfortable and engaged in the mediation process. She understands the complicated dynamics that are involved in divorce and custody cases. She communicates with parties and counsel in a respectful and effective manner. Many cases have avoided trial thanks to Ms. Weinberg's mediation skills. I highly recommend her to colleagues, friends, and family."
"Jolie and Jackie are my retirement asset gurus! I often refer clients to them to draft the appropriate orders for the transfer of retirement assets pursuant to divorce. My clients and I are always pleased with their thorough services."
"An excellent lawyer who treats clients with patience, care, understanding, and utmost professionalism - an even better person and I wholeheartedly recommend for future services."
"I recently worked with Ms. Weinberg on a complex interstate SAPCR / divorce matter crossing multiple jurisdictions and involving military law and also a school district. I have found Ms. Weinberg to be a rare cocktail of zealous advocate and gracious professional. She has a firm grasp of the dynamic issues that our clients confront when they are ambushed by their spouse and find themselves in need of representation. In our profession, it is rare to characterize an experience with a colleague as delightful, but that is exactly what my experience with this attorney has been. Within moments of reaching out to me, I found myself (literally!) completing her sentences as we fell into step about how to represent our client. Highly recommended."
"Jolie is a very experienced and well-respected attorney, and she is a leader in the Howard County legal community. She has broad experience representing clients in all types of domestic relations matters. I strongly endorse her and her firm."
"I highly recommend Jolie Weinberg and her law firm of Weinberg and Schwartz. I have known Jolie for more than 20 years and have always admired her ability to represent her client's to the highest degree. She is a superstar."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jolie is very knowledgeable in her practice and is very professional in her interactions with other attorneys and judges."
"Jolie (successfully) wears many hats in her practice in Family Law. Jolie is child-focused, creative and savy when focusing on settlement negotiations; she is technically precise when drafting or editing Retirement Orders; and she is a fierce advocate for her clients when litigation is necessary. Most importantly, Jolie understands her clients' needs and concerns, which allows her to keep her clients informed and calm throughout their particular process."
"Jolie Weinberg is an extremely knowledgeable, hardworking and diligent family law attorney and advocate. I highly recommend her for any legal matters pertaining to divorce, custody, child support, alimony and related issues. She is great in this field."
"Jolie is an excellent, family-focused, family law attorney and mediator. Jolie also drafts Retirement Orders - a rare skill among family law attorneys. Jolie obtains successful results for her clients, both in and out of Court. I admire Jolie for her ability to relate to any client and determine exactly what is needed in a case within minutes of hearing the facts."
"I endorse this lawyer."
