About

I have been practicing family law for over 40 years, and have helped over 3,000 people through this often difficult process.  I handle all aspects of separation and divorce, including mediation, negotiations and litigation of simple and complex cases.  I work on child custody, visitation and child support cases, divorces involving significant marital assets and division of property and pensions, alimony, and even pet visitation.  My approach is to work hard to solve your problems, but not necessarily to "punish" the other side.  I want you to finish the process knowing that the outcome was "fair" and you dealt with things "honorably". My hourly rates are at the high end for Frederick County, because of my experience and reputation.  However, I also rely on less expensive associate attorneys (with "only"  5 - 7 years of experience) to "build" your case while I serve as the "architect" doing the planning and strategic work that my experience and knowledge bring to the table.    The bottom line is that my final bill is ususally much lower than the other attorney's is,   even though they may  charge less per hour than I do.

I hired Keith to represent and help me through a very difficult divorce several years ago. At the time I knew absolutely nothing about how a divorce worked. He did an excellent job and, in hindsight, my only regret is that I didn’t follow ALL of his advice. He knows what he is doing and I’m glad he was on my side! He is fair and honest and looked out for my best interests. He continues to represent me, as needed, with divorce issues. I know he is only a phone call away if I need him.

Mr. Schiszik did a phenomenal job representing me and my needs throughout my entire divorce process. He came highly recommended already from a close friend, and lived up to all expectations. It makes you feel a lot better having him in your corner to fight for you! Thanks again!

This lawyer exceeded my expectations in a very difficult , lengthy custody battle. I would retain him again and I highly recommend his services. He knows the legal system and gives excellent advice.

If you are a potential client with concerns about divorce, your child/children, and/or custody, Keith Schiszik is the attorney of choice. With his expertise, knowledge, help, and support, I felt safe in the potentially hostile environment of depositions and court. I'm incredibly pleased with the legal results, and I owe it all to Keith Schiszik. In addition, he communicates with his client clearly, at a level I can understand, and in a friendly manner. Highly, highly recommended!
