A Truly Caring Lawyer

As an out-of-state grandparent, I realize it would have been almost impossible to secure visitation with my grandchild unless I obtained legal counsel. John Warren was essential to my getting court-stipulated visitation and I am forever grateful. He never gave up in the face of tremendous opposition ...and handled things long distance when I was unable to travel. I can not recommend him highly enough!

“Honest, reliable, highly knowledgeable, very compassionate, over all exceptional”

Seventeen years ago I met John due to the child visitation/support issues I faced. He took everything I had to say into consideration and explained my rights as a parent while keeping the best interest of the kids in mind. He even indicated that his services may not be needed but that he would be wil...ling to assist if I was uncomfortable speaking in front of the judge. Hiring him as my attorney was the best decision I made since legal cases can get very complicated and confusing for the average person. He obtained all he promised, never misled me, and worked so hard, which I am forever grateful for. Ever since then, John has been there for my family and I whenever we need advice or representation, never fails to benefit our situation. As of right now, seventeen years later, I am back seeking his legal advice in hopes of terminating my case now that my kids have been emancipated.

Amazing Outcome

Mr. Warren (Rick) took on my existing custody case and truly fought for my first positive outcome in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court. Rick brings calm, confident advice to your case work and the court room. This is key since decision making can influenced poorly in emotionally charged custody cas...es. His knowledge of the law is oustanding, but more importantly his knowledge of the Judges and how each tends to trend is important since your outcome is based on the law and the judge of the day. Rick was able to get important safeguards put in place for my minor children, he knew exactly how to handle my very problematic ex-spouse, in and out of court, and unexpectedly I was awarded child support for the first time...and I am a Dad! Rick cares about your case, your not just billable hours. My existing case file was very thick when Rick took my case. With my previous lawyers, I felt I knew the facts of the case more and this made me uneasy. Rick absorbed my case quickly and efficiently and they gave me confidence right off the bat. I highly recommend Mr. Warren !
