The practice of law isn’t just a profession for me. It’s a family tradition. My mother, Charlotte Krohn, headed to law school in her forties after raising her family. She established a private law practice and invited me to join her when I was admitted to the Maryland bar in 1978. My sister Carolyn is a bankruptcy attorney in Annapolis. Two of my uncles were also lawyers. My youngest daughter, a Harvard graduate, has graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Law School and has been admitted to practice in both Maryland and Pennsylvania. Born in the former Anne Arundel General Hospital on Franklin Street in Annapolis, I have practiced law in Maryland for 36 years. I have kept up with the evolving practice of family law, and, as an early advocate of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), became one of the first attorneys to earn a Certificate in Mediation from Harvard Law School in 1994. Realizing I could best serve my clients by developing expertise in one specific area of the law, I have limited my practice to family law, handling issues of separation, divorce, custody, prenuptial agreements, property settlements and appeals. During the time I'm not in Court, I have mediated and arbitrated more than 700 family law cases. I have argued approximately 60 cases before the Maryland Court of Special Appeals and Court of Appeals, seven of which cases became published opinions which are pored over by attorneys and judges for insight that might apply to other cases. I am a frequent instructor on the topic of family law, and appear regularly as a guest speaker and forum panelist at events throughout the region.

Stephen was the calm in the storm while I was going through my divorce. I spoke with a couple of attorneys before finding Stephen but I chose him because from the very beginning he explained the process and the parameters of each issue. This was so helpful. With the other attorneys I spoke with I ...

I've used many lawyers. Stephen Krohn seemed knowledgable, experienced, and strict with his timekeeping, when I consulted him several times over several years. But when actually handling my case, I came to feel he was careless, inconsistent, uncommunicative, costly, and arrogant.. A client shoul...
It is very disappointing to receive these comments given the successful result I obtained on your behalf. It is unfortunate that you chose to post anonymously. Attorney ethics require that I maintain our confidential relationship. Accordingly, as much as I would like to respond in detail to your mischaracterizations, I am unable to do so without your express permission. If you would like me to respond in the same public forum that you have chosen, please send a signed Authorization waiving the attorney-client privilege, and I will respond in this location. Otherwise I am happy to correspond privately with you.
