Seasoned Rockville Attorneys Lead Clients to the Best Possible Resolution in Family Case Litigation

Meeting the litigation needs and goals of each family law client

A trial is not usually a best-case scenario for resolution of family or trust and estate cases. However, there are circumstances in which taking a case to court is necessary, and in the best interests of a client. Individuals across Maryland and Washington D.C. trust the experienced Rockville family law attorneys at Jo Benson Fogel, P.A. to guide them through the legal process to an outcome that makes the most sense for their particular situation. If your family law matter needs to be litigated, our attorneys work tirelessly to secure a favorable resolution at trial.

A unique case management approach fostering a deeper case understanding

Most cases settle. Given this reality, many attorneys approach case preparation from the perspective of planning for settlement. Our firm has a different approach. From the very first time we meet with you, we begin preparing your case for trial. The benefits of this approach are broad and deep:

  • Facilitates a more complete understanding of your situation, needs, and goals
  • Allows us to thoroughly anticipate all potential issues and disputes
  • Provides better detail during settlement negotiations or alternative dispute resolution processes
  • Offers a more realistic assessment of what a favorable outcome entails
  • Leads to increased efficiencies if the case goes to trial
  • Creates more flexibility in consideration of settlement options

Our family law attorneys appreciate that often the best way to avoid litigation is to begin preparing for it as early as possible. Although many of the firm’s cases do resolve before trial, the preparation that we dedicate early on results in better outcomes, no matter the timing of the settlement.

We take the lead on document preparation and production to minimize the burden on you

Family law litigation is a very document-intensive process. Forms and filings are just the tip of the iceberg. When your divorce or family law case goes to trial, you must be prepared with an extensive collection of documentary evidence, including

  • Financial statements
  • Account statements
  • Employment and income records
  • Deeds to property
  • Asset and property valuations
  • Emails
  • Text messages and phone logs
  • Police records
  • Medical bills
  • Photographs
  • Letters

Without a skilled family law attorney, amassing and organizing the documents required during litigation can be overwhelming. Rely on us to anticipate forms, documents, and pieces of evidence that the court may require in your case.

Minimizing the impact of litigation on your children from beginning to end

If your family case goes to trial, it is important to have realistic expectations about what is involved in litigation. It can be a very stressful process. It also can be highly contentious because you and your spouse cannot reach agreement. Through more than three decades of practice experience, our Rockville family law litigation team understands the impact that a trial can have on your family. Children are especially susceptible to conflict and acrimony, so we do everything possible to counsel you on ways to minimize harmful impacts on your children.
