Private Client Legal Services

Divorce can be tough decision. What happens next is often tougher: division of marital property, agreeing on child custody and parenting matters, and in some cases alimony and child support. The Maryland family courts are kept busy, and judges don't always have the time or patience to hear all the relevant information pertaining to an equitable distribution of marital property or what's in the best interests of the parties' children. When divorce happens in Maryland, you need experienced attorneys that you can trust to either see you through settlement with your partner and with a minimum of court involvement; or putting your best case forward to see the court's give you a fair and equitable resolution if things are contested.  We have more than thirty years of experience successfully representing clients in marital settlement agreements and in the divorce courts. Contact us for a free phone consultation if you have questions regarding settlement or divorce court issues.

Immigration is one of the most complicated areas of Federal law. It may seem easy enough for eligible immigrants or temporary visitors in the United States with a valid visa to simply fill out and submit a few forms and then sit back and wait for them to be approved. It's often not that simple and things can go sour fast if the forms are not complete or - worse - there's something in your immigration history that you've overlooked but USCIS has not.  We've often heard from new clients that they wished they had got a good immigration attorney from the start instead of going it alone.  An Annapolis, Maryland immigration attorney like those at Schifanelli Law, LLP can greatly improve the chances of success, decrease the chance of something unexpected and unwanted occurring, and even save time - often months if not years - of waiting for USCIS to respond and process your application.  Since 2004, we have assisted thousands of immigrants to the U.S. in navigating through the immigration process.
