Attorney Tomlin - “You’re simply the best – better than all the rest, better than anyone!” When I think of Attorney Tomlin and her superlative staff (especially Samantha), the words from Rockstar Tina Turner’s hit song come to mind. The long & short of it is – Val is THE BEST ATTORNEY IN MD! I’ve referred numerous cases (divorce, custody, criminal) to her and the result is always success. She’s knowledgeable, assertive, compassionate, affordable, has great connections and relationships within all Maryland courts. I am proud to have Attorney Tomlin as my lawyer and will continue to retain her for all legal matters that may arise as I know I am in the best hands. I’m a single father of teenage autistic son, that I’ve had custody of since he was 3. I have experienced two divorces in my life, in different counties and each was a very troubling time for me for different reasons; the former absconded out of state with my son and the latter was mentally and emotionally abusive towards him. Furthermore, not only was my 2nd divorce long and in the words of the judge, “one of the most contentious I’ve seen in years,” but I was falsely accused of felony assault by a lying vindictive ex-girlfriend who became a witness for my ex a month before the divorce trial. There is no shortage of divorce and criminal attorneys. However, finding the best fit for your particular situation can be a time-consuming challenge, but not with Attorney Tomlin. Since this was the first time going through a TPO & criminal charges coupled with a nasty divorce, NEVER once did I ever doubt I was in the best possible hands! Aside from my role as a Dad, I was a mental and emotional wreck, my life had been turned completely upside down for almost 2 years. Val really understands human nature, how to help clients deal with stressful situations and talk you off the ledge. There’s something incredible to be said about an attorney that cares for you on a personal level, instead of just treating you like another case. I had lost my job, exhausted all of my resources and didn’t know my left from my right. However, beyond being a highly skilled attorney, Val exhibits rare attorney vesting in her clients that put you at ease regarding the difficulties of your case and/or situation. More importantly, there are no empty promises made just to keep a client happy or on the hook. This go-around, however, I was a crappy client but she was able to help me through it. She and her staff are detail-oriented while also seeing the big picture. Plus, she has an unbelievable courtroom presence; the judges, bailiffs, DA, etc. love her, opposing council not so much. Divorce and TPOs are emotionally charged issues that are never easy; especially when you’re charged with assaulting someone who lives 4 states away. Even with my many shortcomings (late doc submittals, missed emails, etc.), Attorney Tomlin handled both cases from beginning to end with what can only be considered legally eviscerated perfection. Despite the lies that facilitated the TPO and the dirty tricks my ex’s attorney attempted, my faith in the legal system was restored by Val’s incredible representation. Her legal skills are great as she under promises and over delivers but just as important, she’s an attorney who cares. If you’re looking for a dynamic attorney at a great price, then call Attorney Tomlin. Attorney Tomlin is always my first and only choice for legal referral!
