We Represent Families throughout Maryland and Washington, D.C.

Our law firm was incorporated in 1977, and our team of lawyers shares a wealth of experience and knowledge with each other and with our clients. We combine the best of small-firm friendliness and efficiency with large-firm capabilities. We give each case our personal attention, whether it is a straightforward legal issue or complex litigation. We are licensed to represent clients throughout suburban Maryland and Washington, D.C., in child custody and child visitation matters such as:

• Deciding which parent gets physical custody
• Deciding when the non-custodial parent can visit
• Relocation factors that arise when one parent moves away
• Making decisions about a child’s medical care or education
• Dealing with an “unfit” parent who may subject the child to unhealthy factors (alcohol or drug abuse, having a girlfriend or boyfriend over, etc.)

We Offer Family Law Mediation Services and Convenient Facilities

Many families choose mediation because it has the potential to save both time and money. If you wish to have your child custody and child support matters settled through mediation or collaborative law, we can help you. At Deckelbaum Ogens & Raftery, Chartered, we have three court-sanctioned certified mediators on our staff.

Our law firm is conveniently located above the Bethesda Metro stop and near public bus routes. We have three comfortable on-site conference rooms. These conference rooms are often used for mediation and conciliatory resolution of family matters like child custody and visitation, as well as other issues like prenuptial agreements and divorce settlements
