 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

The outcome gave me clarity, peace of mind, and a strong foundation to move forward with the next chapter of my life.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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

Where are divorce and family law cases heard in Howard County?

Divorce, custody and other family law matters in Howard County are generally handled by the Circuit Court for Howard County in Ellicott City. Contested cases may involve scheduling conferences and other court proceedings before unresolved issues proceed toward trial.

What should I consider before filing for divorce?

Before filing, it can be helpful to understand your financial position, the property and debts involved, your immediate family circumstances and any decisions that could affect custody or support. Speaking with a divorce lawyer early can also help identify information that should be gathered before major decisions are made.

How are retirement accounts handled in a Maryland divorce?

Retirement accounts may include marital property even when an account is held in only one spouse’s name. Determining what portion is marital and how it may be divided can require reviewing when contributions were made and the history of the account.

How can executive compensation affect a divorce?

Bonuses, stock options, restricted stock, deferred compensation and other forms of executive compensation may affect property division, alimony or support. Understanding when compensation was earned, when it becomes payable and how it should be treated in the divorce can be important in cases involving complex income.

What happens when both spouses have substantial incomes?

When both spouses have established careers, income can affect support and other financial issues in the divorce. Compensation may also extend beyond salary to bonuses, equity awards, business income and deferred compensation, making a complete understanding of each spouse’s financial circumstances important.

How can demanding careers affect a parenting plan?

Work schedules, business travel, school schedules, transportation and each parent’s availability can all become important when developing a parenting arrangement. A workable plan should address the children’s needs while accounting for the practical responsibilities of both parents.

When should financial professionals become involved in a divorce?

Accountants, business valuation experts and financial forensic professionals may be useful when a divorce involves a closely held business, difficult-to-value assets, complex compensation, disputed income or questions about the source or ownership of property. The type of professional needed depends on the financial issues involved in the case.
