Introducing The Daily Record’s 2025 Family Law Power List

Daily Record Staff//September 30, 2025//

Listen to this article

The issues that family law attorneys handle are among the most sensitive imaginable. And the clients they represent are going through what probably is one of the most painful experiences in their lives.

Divorce. Child custody. Visitation. Child support.

The men and women you’ll meet in this section are among the skilled and effective practitioners in this complex legal field in Maryland.

This list was chosen by our editorial leadership team. We reached out to readers and others in the legal community for input and perspective.

In this list, we explore how these attorneys view their profession, what they would change if they could and what they might be doing if they hadn’t chosen this career. We’re hoping to offer a glimpse into the kind of people they are and how they see their accomplishments.

This list is part of a series of Power Lists throughout 2025 that will showcase the most influential figures in law, higher education, health care, business, financial services and other fields. You can find this and all our Power Lists on our website.

If you know of someone you think is a strong candidate for inclusion on our Power Lists, we’d love to hear from you. Just go to origintdrdev.wpengine.com/power-list-recommendation-form/ and tell us about the individual.

We hope you enjoy this Power List, and we welcome your feedback and suggestions.
