Pam did an outstanding job in a tough case!

Pam did an outstanding job, in my highly contentious divorce and custody case. She dealt very professionally with my ex, who has demonstrated that he has mental health issues. After 3 days of trial, and winning motions for a best interest attorney, Pam won me primary physical custody and sole legal... custody with restricted access to our minor child. She also won me a monetary award. During the whole ordeal, Pam became like family, and was very sympathetic to what we were going through. She was always concerned for our safety and well being.

Saved Me Millions

Went to Ms. Dement-Carpenter after my spouse coerced me into signing an unfavorable Agreement while he hid funds. Ms. Dement-Carpenter was able to untangle the agreement through her aggressive, but necessary legal tactics and find over $1 million dollars hidden in retirement assets. I received my ...marital share. I highly recommend Ms. Dement-Carpenter. Her legal fees were reasonable and she worked hard to get me my fair share of the assets. - Christina, Nurse

Aggressive, Honest and Trustworthy

I hired Ms. Dement-Carpenter to prepare a separation agreement for me and my husband. In spite of all the complex, financial and property issues, as well as custody issues, Ms. Dement-Carpenter was able to help us reach an agreement at a fraction of the cost of litigation. She was courteous and profe...ssional at all times. Her professionalism was greatly appreciated and it is clear she has been doing this for many years. I highly recommend her services to anyone that wants to save costs and get excellent results.

Absolute pleasure to work with

My wife and I chose Pamela to mediate our separation. By no fault of Pamela's, we were unable to come to an acceptable agreement. My only regret is that I could not continue on with her being my personal legal representative. She was incredibly caring and thoughtful to us both during an extremely dif...ficult time. I truly believe in the mediation process. Unfortunately for us, our situation was much more complicated than most. I highly recommend working with Pam. A great combination of professionalism and human touch.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I had a tricky divorce case with Pam not long ago. She handled the case in a professional manner and advocated for her client's rights. Pam's mediation training allows her to see settlement opportunities in cases, but she also has a lot of litigation experience if the case needs to go to trial. I endorse her for family law and mediation."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Pam is a superb attorney who is at the top of her game. She is a tenacious trial attorney at all court levels, including appeals, and her legal writing is excellent. She has the innate ability to cut through the emotions of a case and is able to secure excellent outcomes for her clients, while always being cognizant of cost and value. She also excels as a mediator. If you have a domestic relations or other litigation matter in Annapolis or anywhere in Maryland, I highly recommend her."
