At Bortmes Legal Services LLC, we vigorously represent clients in custody and divorce cases. We educate them on the process from filing to trial, guide them through Maryland's complex court rules, and collaborate to help them make the best decisions. When mediation fails, our extensive litigation experience ensures our clients' rights are protected in matters of custody, visitation, and asset preservation.

At Bortmes Legal Services LLC, we draft Wills to help clients plan for the future, ensuring their possessions are passed on to their children and heirs. We also make provisions for the care and welfare of children in case of an unexpected tragedy.

At Bortmes Legal Services LLC, we recognize the unique needs of each family and understand that adoption may be essential to achieving their family vision. We are dedicated to helping clients realize their adoption dreams, whether through private adoptions for newborns or older children, or by facilitating placements with suitable caretakers and parental figures. We also assist grandparents seeking guardianship of their grandchildren when parents are unable to provide care. Additionally, we represent adult children seeking to care for ailing parents who have not made provisions for their own care and are incapacitated.

In domestic relationships, allegations of abuse can arise, sometimes justified, other times fabricated to gain an advantage in custody or divorce disputes. If a partner files a Protective Order against you, swift legal action is crucial to protect your rights. Failure to respond or adequately represent yourself could result in losing residence rights or being ordered to pay emergency family maintenance.
