Maryland Family Law Attorney Will Fight for Your Best Interests

D.C. Metropolitan area lawyer skilled in civil and criminal litigation

Family law disputes can be among the most emotionally racking legal matters, principally because they often involve people who once had affection for each other that has turned to bitterness. However, with the assistance of skilled counsel, it is still possible to achieve rational results that work to the welfare of all involved. At the Law Office of Dontrice Hamilton, I have two decades of experience providing conscientious representation to Maryland and Washington, D.C. residents in family law cases. I handle divorce, alimony, child custody and child support matters, prenuptial agreements, and other issues relating to marital relationships. I also have extensive experience defending against criminal charges and litigating civil cases, including protection of the rights of employees against unlawful actions. Based in Rockville, Maryland, I work with clients in Frederick, Baltimore, Howard Counties and Metropolitan D.C.

I strive to relieve clients of emotional stress while bringing these strengths to the handling of each case: 

  • Experienced courtroom litigator — With over 20 years of experience, I bring seasoned judgment to every legal matter, whether in family court, in criminal defense or in civil litigation. 
  • Manageable fees — I understand the financial strain that legal issues can cause and offer fair and transparent pricing and flexible fees to ensure quality representation is accessible. 
  • One-on-one client interaction — I believe in personalized service and work closely with each client to ensure their needs and concerns are addressed. 

I am also committed to public service, as evidenced by having received awards for pro bono work from the Chief Justice of Maryland and from legal service and bar associations.
