Columbia Divorce Lawyer

Our Philosophy on Handling Divorce Cases

Obviously, some divorce cases become heated and require hard fought battles in and out of the courtroom. At the Owings Mills and Columbia, Maryland, Law Offices of Cynthia M. Lifson, we put over 15 years of experience and proven ability to work on those cases. But for many clients, acrimonious legal sniping will not produce the practical or effective path to a long lasting solution.

Our philosophy on working with clients embroiled in a divorce is to explore a full range of litigation, negotiation and alternative dispute resolution options. Our representation isn't limited by inability to explore every option — we work with you to make sure that our strategies are focused on helping you build the best possible future in the most cost-effective way.

We create custom legal solutions for divorce clients designed to meet your needs by exploring a comprehensive range of options and alternatives. Contact us today to find out how we can help you chart a productive course through divorce and on to the rest of your life.

A Common Sense Approach

It may seem simple, but we take an A-B-C approach toward handling divorce, ever mindful of the sensitivities associated with a changing family situation. We encourage clients to approach the emotionally charged atmosphere of divorce with clear-headed and rational thinking, not only so that we can recognize what's really important to our client but to keep the case moving forward.

To do this, our lawyer helps you evaluate what you want into three categories

• A - The assets and outcomes that a client feels strongly must absolutely be a part of any settlement or judgment
• B - The assets and outcomes that are not as meaningful to a client
• C - The assets and outcomes that the client feels are negotiable.

By taking the time to classify and segment your needs and expectations, we have learned that not only do we have a better sense of how to approach and pursue your case, but often so do you. We can then talk about the options available, and whether we have the opportunity to approach your case through litigation, mediation or collaborative law.

We don't take a cookie cutter approach to your case. Our attorney, Cynthia Lifson, believes strongly that each person desires and requires individual support, analysis and guidance. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail, so we make sure we approach your case with all possible tools at our disposal.
