David Raymond Mahood

Mr. Mahood worked with me on my child support case and was very helpful. He approached the issues pragmatically and kept me realistically appraised of the potential outcomes. I'll address a few of the traits that I found to truly represent the quality of his work and who you will be dealing with when... you choose his services: Thorough- For anyone who has dealt with family court in the past you understand how important it is to get every detail correct. Mr. Mahood took his time reviewing all documents and ensured that all discovery documents were in good order. At no time did I feel like I was rushed or like he needed to get to his next client. Which is something I've experience from other attorneys in the past. He knew my case in and out, he took the time to get to know my situation and represented me properly. Pragmatic- He approached my problems with a no nonsense attitude that kept expectations realistic. I was always kept informed of possible outcomes and the reasons for them. Mr. Mahood is not going to make false promises, he will also hold you accountable as a client to do the right thing. Hard Working- There comes a crunch time in every case. The week before a case is spent reviewing discover and preparing for cases. Mr. Mahood EXCELS at this part of his profession. When it was time to prepare for the difficult and often stressful occasion of appearing in court, he was available to answer my questions and help me prepare. Understanding- He understands how difficult different people's situations can be and works with them to better that situation. During every dealing I had with Mr. Mahood I felt as if I was dealing with a man of high moral caliber. He clearly feels a moral obligation to help people in need and get them the right outcome. Flexible- Life happens and it is rarely convenient. In my case I live on nearly the other side of the world. I can't imagine trying to overcome the time difference and distance with any other lawyer. Given my work schedule and frequent travel I needed a professional who would be flexible in the unforeseen circumstances of my work and life, Mr. Mahood was able to do that. Knowledgeable- Mr. Mahood's subject matter expertise was second to none. He knows the law, and will fight to ensure your rights are met. Furthermore, he displayed a great deal of judgment in considering how people may react to different pieces of evidence. He seemed to have an impressive ability to read how some things may benefit my case. Mediator- Mr. Mahood was by far the best mediator I've worked with in the five attorneys I've dealt with in my cases. He appraised the situation appropriately and ensured I had no unrealistic expectations. He also helps to keep conversations level-headed and as always fights for the best outcome. Fair- Mr. Mahood treats clients fairly and bills fairly. He treats people decently in a time that can be very stressful. Lastly, I want to say that Mr. Mahood is an honorable man. He wants the best outcome for his client and any child involved. He maintained a high standard of ethics for himself AND for his clients. He is an example to be followed by other professionals in his field.

When I hired Mr. Mahood I was at my wits end and felt rather hopeless about getting what I deserved legally because my ex was determined to fight against my legal rights. My ex spent many months trying to hide from and avoid the process server, but this hard-working attorney was able to persuade the... Court to Order alternative service of process and thus move the case forward. After much difficulty, Mr. Mahood helped me obtain everything I wanted at Court. Thank you so much for listening to me, for explaining everything in a way I could understand and for working so hard for me and my son. You are a wonderful attorney who really cared enough to help me all the way to the end, even though this was definitely not the typical case. Again, thank you so very much!

I am so thankful we called Mr Mahood when our family was going through the most difficult time of our lives. He was very helpful and gave great advice through the whole process. He really seemed like he genuinely cared about us. He was very available for us which is so important when in crisis mode.... His advice was invaluable and I would highly recommend him for family issues.

Mr. Mahood represented me in a VERY high conflict emotionally wrecking custody battle. We created a strategy to protect my rights and the best interest of my beautiful child. He litigated fluently with all of the facts and evidence, persuading the judge of my needs. Mr. Mahood's legal answers h...ere on AVVO reflect his insight and dedication to the law of Maryland and California. Thank You David for protecting me

Was worried because I added my new husband and his son to my health and dental insurance at my job. My new husband's ex-wife said she was going to list me as financially responsible on the doctor/dental bills and if I have negative credit I could lose my clearance causing me to lose my job. David r...eassured me that legally she cannot list me as financially responsible just because I added him to my insurance. It really put my mind at ease.
