Schertler & Onorato has a substantial domestic relations practice. We have successfully handled many domestic matters involving child custody issues and financial disputes in the courts of the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. We understand that clients involved in divorce and custody lawsuits are not only faced with navigating through the court system, but they also must deal with very difficult emotional situations. We support our domestic relations clients through what can be painful ordeals while remaining focused on achieving the best result possible. The trial skills that our attorneys have developed in other aspects of the firm’s practice have proven a tremendous asset to our domestic relations clients. We understand the need to vigorously engage in settlement negotiations, but as professional litigators, we back up our negotiating positions with the willingness and skill to take our clients’ cases to trial.
