About Family Legal Advocacy Group, LLC

Family Legal Advocacy Group, LLC: Advocating for Families with Knowledge, Experience, and Empathy

At the heart of the Family Legal Advocacy Group’s (FLAG) mission is the commitment to providing advocacy and education in family law, child welfare, and education matters. Whether you are a parent, guardian, relative, or friend seeking custody, dealing with education issues, or navigating the child welfare system, we are here to assist.

Education & Empowerment: Our team, consisting of former teachers and parents, places a strong emphasis on educating each client. This knowledge is pivotal for making informed decisions about their best interests and understanding the implications for their families. Recognizing that knowledge is power, our goal is to empower clients to actively participate in the advocacy process, seeking the best outcomes for their families.

Experienced, Empathetic Advocates: Empowered clients can focus on achieving their goals and maintaining optimism about their family's future. We provide the advocacy necessary to attain those goals and assist clients in developing the skills to be effective advocates for themselves in the future. As empathetic listeners, we offer support during times of crisis and provide feedback when questions arise.

A Strong Voice in the Advocacy Process: Armed with knowledge and experience, we serve as a robust voice for clients, whether in the courtroom or through settlement. Advocating for families is not just what we do; it is what we have always wanted to do, and our passion defines our work.

Goal-Oriented Decisions: During meetings with FLAG attorneys, all options, including alternative dispute resolution, are explored to achieve goals while strengthening families. We help clients make empowered, goal-oriented decisions and develop strategies for moving forward.

A Plan for Success: Evaluating the positives and negatives of decisions, we collaboratively develop a strategy for the future, with clients actively participating. Our attorneys, with a track record of excellent advocacy, have established a reputation in Maryland courts as strong advocates for children and families.

Achieving Your Goals: Every parent's ultimate desire is the well-being of their children, and we are here to help you achieve that goal. Recognizing the high stakes involved, we become the voice you need and the advocacy you deserve.

Hired Law Firm

Sarah Nesbitt was very helpful navigating me through my divorce. She always had my best interest, as well as my children. Her expertise was outstanding!

Hired Attorney Jessica K. Keister

Jessica Keister and her fellow attorneys at Family Legal Advocacy Group are corrupt and fee churning. She did not present any evidence as my PL hearing and was bullied by opposing counsel to drop my expert witness testimony. She over charged me for my case, lost it, and then dropped me as a client. When I asked her for a reason she stated "I do not need to tell you that, it would be a waste of my time." She dropped my right before a settlement hearing leaving me unrepresented and prejudiced in my case. Do not hire her or anyone from FLAG. They will take all of your money and loose your case!
