Mr. Fanning was well versed in the law, and ran rings around the plaintiff's attorney. I would use his services again without hesitation.

I retained Mr. Fanning for my divorce. I made clear of my expectations and he followed through with no issues. He is a well known attorney in the area and very reputable. I highly recommend his services.

I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Fanning. He helped me get custody of my 19-month-old son in a situation where it probably could have gone either way. He was so calm and professional in front of the master while my child's mother's lawyer was rude and aggressive. He is not only an excellent attorney who truly cares about his clients and wants the very best for them, he is a really great guy. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a lawyer in the southern Maryland area.

My husband and I used Mr. Fanning's services for two adoptions and we were very pleased with his personable demeanor, his efficiency, our questions and how he interacted with the family in general. He puts you at ease and makes you feel comfortable. We were equally pleased with his administrative staff as well.

To whom it may concern: Hands down I would recommend Mr. Fanning to represent myself or anyone else in a courtroom. He represented me several times for an on going child support case several years back. Each time we left the courtroom people would get up an ask for his business card. He's a very good, honest, devoted an straight to the point type of person. Trust me when I tell you he kept me out of a lot of situations that could of turned bad. I could never thank him enough for his hard work!

If you want someone to tell you what you want to hear then don't see Mr. Fanning. If, however, you want someone to tell you the truth, your options, and potential outcomes then Mr. Fanning is the lawyer for you. I found him to be very thorough, assertive, and knowledgeable in his field. I have recommended him to several of my friends and will continue to do so.

Mr. Fanning and his office were excellent when I adopted my stepson. He was knowledgeable, and explained every facet of the process thoroughly. I was very pleased with his presentation of our case in court. His staff is prompt, professional and courteous. I would recommend him to anyone needing legal counsel in the area of Family Law.
