Showing 1 - 1 of 1 review | Divorce & Separation

Posted by anonymous | August 23, 2010 | Divorce & Separation

Marital Separation Agreement, Quitclaim Deed and required Maryland Divorce documents

I am very pleased with the services provided by Mr. Granat and his staff. I became acquainted with his book, Divorce in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia back in 1996 and purchased the book. Thereafter I purchased his then available product to produce a Marital Separation Agreement. ...Recently purchased a Quitclaim Deed and most recently the necessary Divorce documents to finalize my Separation and divorce. He and his staff have been fantastic, and have always answered my questions and met the needs of my personal situation. I have recommended his services to another friend who was unable to use Mr. Granat’s services, because, unlike my spouse who was willing to work out the Separation and divorce, my friend’s wife would not settle anything out of court. I was fortunate. If your situation fits mine, using his services can save you a lot of work, money, anxiety and frustration.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
