Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Outstanding counsel in contentious divorce. Ms. Webb is responsive, solution-oriented, and she possesses grace under pressure.
This is the most wonderful attorney and worth her weight in GOLD! She is highly respected by the Judges in Montgomery County, MD and her peers which I believe is very favorable to the clients position. She listened to our concerns very attentively, and connects well. She was respectful of what we wanted, and advised the best course of action. When working with the other side, she is reasonable, to work out a viable settlement yet can mow down any opponent in a fire storm -if provoked. Perfect.
I was looking for a divorce attorney, and a friend who had used the services of Deb Webb, recommended her highly. While that was a very difficult time for me, Ms. Webb and her staff made me feel like I wasn't alone. Their services were very warm and professional. What really profiled her genuine caring attitude is when she voluntarily called me to check on my well-being. She made the process much easier than I had expected. I, too, would recommend Ms. Webb, and Lerch, Early and Brewer.
I found her to be very litigious. Things could have settled quicker, but she papered the case and cost me a lot more than I should have had to pay. Divorce is necessarily adversarial but this attorney amplifies it, so that you will be miserable. The final settlement was very disadvantageous to me, and the child were afterthoughts to her. Definitely, find other counsel. Family law attorneys are a dime a dozen and that's what most turn out to be worth.
