Family Law

The Law Office of Thomas F. Ellis:
We Help Because We Care

If you need a family law attorney, you not only need a lawyer who has the experience and proven ability to get you what you deserve, but you also need someone who will listen carefully and understand what you're going through. We at the law office of Thomas F. Ellis III devote our careers to helping people with:

• Divorce and Legal Separation
• Property Issues and Alimony
• Child Custody and Child Support
  (For more about child support issues, read Tom Ellis's article.)
• Marital Agreements
• Visitation
• Guardianship
• Paternity
• Adoption
• Child In Need of Assistance (CINA) Cases
• Special Education Cases, Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)
• Domestic Violence and Protective Orders

Though settlement is often the best and most affordable solution for everyone concerned in Family Law cases, if a case needs to go to trial, Thomas Ellis' extensive experience as a trial attorney means he will get you what you need.

Come to Tom Ellis' relaxed, friendly office and you'll find a place where you can get support, both legal and emotional. Our professional support staffers, Barbara and Melissa, are not only great listeners, but they know the law as well. Contact us and you'll always be able to reach a helpful person. It's important to us that you feel comfortable during every step of your case.

Near our home base of Annapolis, Maryland, divorce and settlement lawyers having the experience and compassion of Tom Ellis are hard to find. It is even more difficult to find top-notch divorce attorneys who also deal with Child In Need of Assistance cases (CINA) and with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). In CINA cases, suspected abuse or neglect is reported to Child Protective Services of the Department of Social Services, and soon after, hearings determine whether the child will go into foster care. In IEPs, specialized school programs are created for children with learning disabilities. In both cases, a good lawyer is needed to ensure the best possible outcome. We gain great personal fulfillment from our successful involvement in these cases.

We also feel very strongly about our work in Domestic Violence cases. Our roles in emergency hearings are vital to ending the instances of domestic violence. We don't do this work for the money- we do it to help make Maryland a better place.

Contact us if you have a Family Law issue in Annapolis Maryland, Baltimore, MD, Washington D.C., or Anne Arundel County. You deserve an experienced, top-notch lawyer on your side. All initial consultations are free, and most fees are contingent on winning the case.
