I chose this firm for their long experience handling cases like mine. Harry Baumohl is highly knowledgeable, very intelligent, and brings a great deal of experience, as well as being fast and precise compared to other firms. He has also been accommodating of my preference for written communication. My case is still ongoing, but so far the experience has been very positive.

I am writing to highly recommend this firm. It has been a year since we finished working together, and I would not hesitate to hire them again. Attorney Baumohl thoroughly prepared me and my case for the "gray divorce" process. While no one anticipates a divorce at this stage of life, his guidance was invaluable. Throughout the year leading up to our court date, I never had to wonder about the status of my case or my next steps. I relied on him for guidance through every difficulty, big or small. He was consistently gracious, kind, and patient. I counted on his calm wisdom to keep me focused on rational facts rather than reacting emotionally. If you want someone in your corner who is ready to advocate for you, I strongly suggest calling Harry Baumohl. I am grateful beyond words that I did.

I worked with lawyer Harry Baumoul during my divorce and separation process. I chose this firm because of their strong reputation, professionalism, and clear experience in family law. From the initial consultation, the attorney was knowledgeable, responsive, and took the time to explain the process and my options in a way that made me feel confident and supported. Having this firm represent me significantly reduced the stress and uncertainty of the divorce process. I felt well-informed and protected at every stage, and the guidance I received helped me make sound decisions during a very difficult time. The outcome gave me clarity, peace of mind, and a strong foundation to move forward with the next chapter of my life.

Mr. Baumohl represented my father in a property division case. He worked above and beyond to meet our needs, and even saved us time and money in the end. He is more than legal representation. I am so happy we took the time to research attorneys in the area, read these reviews and ultimately chose him. He not only met our goals, but also helped us along the way in more way than one. We cannot say thank you enough. We highly recommend this firm. They are family friendly and very knowledgable on various legal matters.

Harry was great! As in any divorce matter you don’t get everything you want. Harry’s guidance allowed us to avoid court and be even more costly. Harry took the emotions out of it to help me think rationally especially when fighting over small items was the cost worth the effort. I highly recommend Harry if you are in a high conflict divorce.

I recently had the pleasure of having Harry Baumohl draw up my latest Will. Harry had been recommended to me by several people and each one complimented his excellent work. Harry's office is conveniently located in Pikesville, MD. I feel so good that Harry handled this important document for me. I have great confidence in him and am so happy that it was done by a real pro! Rhoda Zeligman

The best decision I’ve ever made — Mike Hamburg is in a class of his own. After years of disappointment with attorneys who didn’t deliver, I finally found someone who didn’t just take on my case—he owned it. Mike Hamburg is the kind of attorney every parent wishes they had on their side. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond. He came to my home, sat with me, listened, and truly understood the pain and unfairness I had been dealing with. He saw how badly I was being treated, and more importantly, how it was affecting my son, Romeo. And from that moment on, he made it his mission to fight for what was right. I’ve had lawyers in the past tell me flat-out that getting custody was impossible. Mike looked me in the eye and said, “You deserve custody of your son—and I’m going to help you get it.” And he kept his word. Mike’s passion, professionalism, and personal investment in my case made all the difference. He fought like it was his own family on the line—and because of that, I got the best possible outcome. He didn’t just win a case—he helped change the future for me and my son. If you’re looking for someone who will fight with heart, integrity, and relentless commitment, hire Mike Hamburg. Don’t waste time or money anywhere else. I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you, Mike and Jodie—for everything.

Frequently Asked Questions About Divorce and Family Law on Maryland’s Eastern Shore

Where are divorce and family law cases heard on Maryland's Eastern Shore?

Divorce, child custody and other family law matters are generally handled by the Circuit Court in the county where the case is filed. For example, the Circuit Court for Talbot County is located in Easton, while the Circuit Court for Worcester County is located in Snow Hill. The appropriate court depends on the circumstances of the case and applicable jurisdictional requirements.

Do I need a divorce lawyer located on the Eastern Shore to represent me?

No. You are not required to hire an attorney whose office is physically located on the Eastern Shore. A Maryland family law attorney can represent clients in Eastern Shore courts, subject to applicable court and professional requirements. Baumohl Hamburg provides divorce and family law representation to clients in Easton, Ocean City and surrounding communities.

How are waterfront homes and vacation properties handled in a Maryland divorce?

Waterfront residences, vacation homes and investment properties may raise questions about ownership, valuation, marital property and equitable distribution. The treatment of each property depends on factors such as when and how it was acquired, how it is titled and whether marital or nonmarital funds were used. Real estate appraisals and financial analysis may be necessary when substantial property interests are disputed.

What happens when a family-owned business or professional practice is part of a divorce?

Business interests may require examination of ownership, valuation, income and the extent to which the business constitutes marital property. Baumohl Hamburg represents clients in divorce matters involving closely held businesses, professional practices and other significant business interests, working with valuation and financial professionals when appropriate.

Can agricultural land or inherited family property be divided in a divorce?

Agricultural land, inherited property and other family-held assets require careful examination of ownership and marital property classification. In Maryland, inherited property is generally considered nonmarital property, although its treatment may become more complicated depending on how it has been used, titled or combined with marital assets.

How are child custody arrangements addressed when parents live in different Eastern Shore communities?

Custody arrangements may need to account for the distance between households, school schedules, transportation, work obligations and the children’s individual needs. Baumohl Hamburg helps parents address legal and physical custody, parenting time and other disputed issues, with attention to arrangements that serve the children’s best interests.

Can a complex or high-asset divorce on the Eastern Shore be resolved without a trial?

Yes. Significant business interests, valuable real estate and disputed financial matters do not automatically require litigation through trial. Some cases can be resolved through negotiation or mediation, depending on the circumstances and the willingness of the parties to reach an agreement. When disputes cannot be resolved, Baumohl Hamburg is prepared to advocate for clients in court.
