THE BEST!

Jamie was diligent and extremely thorough when things got complicated. She was also was caring and thoughtful although tough when necessary. She shined way above my ex-wife’s attorney and made sure that I wasn’t taken advantage. Divorce is a very complicated process and she really knew how to navigat...e through the process. My divorce was uncontested largely due to Jamie’s expertise. I would and will recommend Jamie to anyone in need.

Meets and Exceeds Expectations

Ms. Maier led me through the scary and uncomfortable divorce/custody process with her calm and confident expertise in Family Law. She was aptly and consistently responsive to my calls and emails, well-prepared for all meetings and court dates, and did what she could to keep my costs down. What real...ly impressed me about Ms. Maier was her healthy display of duality -- she is not only a no-nonsense and tough litigator, but also a very caring and compassionate human being. I hope I never need to, but I would 100% work with Ms. Maier and the team and Belli, Weil, and Grozbean again.

Solid Experience

I worked with Jamie on my divorce throughout 2015. She was very helpful and caring in her approach and made me feel like no matter how challenging my situation became I just needed to remain focused. She is good at ‘tough love’ and was able to ‘talk me off the ledge’ when things got a difficult. She... did a very good job of reminding me that a divorce, like a marriage, is really a business transaction. She also enlisted help from Stu Grozbean when things became complicated and I felt I needed additional support. She and Stu were quick to act when I finally got to the point where I realized I needed to ‘stop playing nice’ in order to move the process forward. One thing I learned in working with Jamie was the importance of making sure I provided her all the facts related to my situation, no matter how difficult it was to do so. She and Stu cannot provide effective guidance unless they have all the information to help. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience working with Jamie. She did the job in the most efficient, effective and economical manner possible.

Through and Responsive

Jamie was through and responsive in my divorce hearings, which took over three years to complete. With that much time and information with a long drawn out divorce, Jamie was able to remember chronologically the details of the events that took place. She was knowledgeable and helpful in navigating th...rough a difficult time and what can be confusing time when it came to the finding a straight line through all of the facts of the case.

A Serious and Thorough Attorney

The divorce process is probably one of the most confusing, and extremely stressful experiences a person will go through. It becomes especially stressful and nerve racking when children are involved!! Some divorces can proceed with minimal issues when both parties are willing to cooperate in the bes...t interest of everyone involved. Jamie Maier, Esq. of Beli, Weils and Grozbean in Rockville, Maryland was one of two attorneys’ that handled my case! My divorce had several factors that made it an extremely stressful experience! My ex (along with the help of her attorney) continuously attempted to gain full custody of my children by misrepresenting facts in a negative manner. Jamie has a solid understanding of the law and she puts this knowledge to full use. I knew I had selected the right attorney when I compared documents filed in court on my behalf by Jamie, to those filed by the attorney representing my ex! The clarity and thoroughness was not even close! Jamie was always thorough, and kept me informed during the process. Jamie, and her partner Stuart Grozbean, were able to successfully maneuver me through the process and ensured that the best interest of the children, and mine were preserved. In short, I highly recommend Jamie Maier, Esq. of Beli, Weils and Grozbean when the time comes that you need her expertise.
