From the very beginning Donna had a thorough understanding of divorce law in Md and was able to help me through this very trying time of divorce. She told me to focus on my kids and my work and that she would handle my legal issues. Her work in the court room was flawless! I can't say enough about the attention to detail and care in which Donna and her amazing team handled my divorce. I have and will continue to refer the Rismiller Law Group to anyone that is having a family law issue

What can I say about Ms. Rismiller that will amount to what she did for my daughter and I? Not only was she patient, kind, knowledgable, and quick to respond when I had a question, but I vividly remember a time during my divorce litigation when she told me, she won't let any harm come to my daughter and I, and she did not! She was amazing at each and every one of the hearings, she came prepared, and worked on my case through the end. There was a time in my, what should have been a simple divorce case, where I thought I wouldn't be granted the custody and visitation arrangements that I knew would be best for my daughter, but because of Ms. Rismiller, and her dedicated team, everything that I wanted to see happen pertaining to custody for my daughter, happened. She understood the importance of my daughters safety, and that was the most important piece of the divorce case. I have recommended a number of people to Ms. Rismiller, and I have nothing but good things to say about her, and her team. I may never be able to pay back the time, effort, and dedication that she brought to the table, but I won't stop trying. Because of her, I am able to raise my daughter in a safe, loving, and stable environment. Thank you Ms. Rismiller for everything you did, and I will never forget your kindness.

Working with Ms. Rismiller was a breeze. I have heard horror stories about the divorce process and was hesitant about starting my own. She made a very stressful situation trouble-free. She and her staff were committed to my case. I would and have recommended Ms. Rismiller to a number of my friends.
