My experience with Ms. Glackin surpassed my expectations. I was stressed with an impending military to military divorce and had the need for expert advice with regard to this specialized area. Ms. Glackin was very personable and it ws immediately clear that she was well-versed on the nuances of military specific divorce and separation law. She conducted our consultation with efficiency and professionalism - I did not feel rushed in any way, but she did not waste a minute (even when I began to drift off topic/track from time to time). Ms. Glackin advised me on how to proceed with constructing a separation agreement that met my specialized needs and expectations with respect to child custody, and advised me about the impending uncontested divorce. She brought to the fore many topics and concerns I had never thought to consider. Her law firm was certainly not the least expensive, but I wanted an aggressive, but personable attorney would listen to my concerns, but not shy away from providing full-scope advice and be forward about highlighting and safeguarding my interests. It was equally as important that the attorney I chose have the respect of their peers and the of the court. Ms. Glackin has both, as was later evidenced in our dealings. I will finish by saying I highly recommend her to those who are looking for a thorough, efficient attorney with EXPERT knowledge in family law, and with respect to the specific circumstances of military cases. I was able to rest easier knowing I had received sound advice and specific advice about a way forward.

I retained Maureen's firm, RGH law almost two years ago and have never seen such phenomenal integrity and professionalism. Even though I had retained a different partner in the firm, there was an instance where this partner had to go out of town for a family emergency. Instead of filing a continuance, Maureen stepped in and handled the pendente lite hearing in expert fashion. Her efforts secured the marital home for me, and 50/50 custody of my children. This is way more than most father's could get, and I am forever grateful for her zealous advocacy for my children and I.

No one wants to come out of divorce on the short end! Maureen Glackin is sharp! She knows the law and understands the emotion that comes along with the territory! She listened to my concerns, provided the timely and accurate documents, informed me of my options, then worked with me to make smart decisions! By the time the war ended, I had to pull my car over and take it all in. I was truly relieved from the stress I carried for many years. Her firm provided sound support, understanding, and quality service, definitely worthy of the fee. I recommend she be the first person called when you need an attorney. No doubt about it!!

Ms Glackin is by far one of the best Lawyers in Maryland and she is also recognized internationally. She was recommended to me by another Top Lawyer that didn’t practice in PG. She is absolutely professional, her knowledge in Family Law is always on point. My divorce was very tricky because it involved Military & international custody law. Maureen is an expert on both subjects matters and knew exactly what to do. I myself observed at my court hearing how even other lawyers asked her for advice. She is worth her money. Maureen has been my rock and helped me & my kids through this difficult time. I value her because she is a strong smart & fierce lawyer and on top a wonderful person.

I can't overstate how absolutely impressed I have been with you and your Firm throughout this process. You have made a very difficult time for my son and myself come to a swift resolution and I am extremely grateful for that. My father has more than 45 years of experience in family law matters as a forensic accountant working on highl profile, complex and contentious divorces in NY and has repeatedly expressed how impressed he is with the responsiveness and competency of your firm and I couldn't agree more. My situation was extremely complex and had the potential to be dragged out in court for a very long time. I fully believe that because of the combination your advice, along with your ability to balance aggressiveness with fairness, I was able to settle my entire divorce (custody and the financial issues) in under 2 months. You and your associates have exceeded my expectations at every turn and have my highest recommendation for anyone looking for a top notch firm to help them navigate through the divorce and custody process.

Maureen is beyond wonderful. My divorce was something out of a horror movie and I always could count on Maureen to restore order, think logically, and consistently communicate with opposing council to try to resolve issues. Maureen and I had a lot of realistic discussions that were at times, hard to hear but - always in the best interests of me and my children. In my case, the opposing side was unwilling to compromise and was focused on greed so Maureen litigated the case. I was watching COMPLETE legal brilliance every time we went to court. She was always prepared, has a mastery of the law, and is HIGHLY liked and known at the courthouse. Over the course of my divorce, I spent a fair amount of time at the courthouse and without fail, in EVERY passing conversation when it came up that Maureen was my lawyer, I would find myself in an ‘admiration-fest’ of compliments and praises for her. From bailiffs to reporters, clerks, and general courthouse staff; Maureen is universally kind and well liked. Above all else – RESULTS!!! I am an African-American Male, listed as the Defendant in my Court Case… to say that I was concerned is an understatement. Maureen was able to overcome a horrific previous ruling and get me equal custody of my kids, protected family assets, has gotten over a dozen motions against me denied or thrown out, successfully argued our contempt motion against my ex-wife, got attorney fees granted in my favor, and has done it all with her ethics and morals intact. Maureen Glackin has been beyond wonderful and I can’t imagine a better ally.

After meeting with Maureen she immediately did research on my case, gave me detailed information regarding the matter and I told her "I want you to represent me!" We continued to go over my case (divorce, property & seperation) and she had so much knowledge that she educated me on regarding the best way to resolve the issues I faced. Her professionalism and presentation is commanding, she will fight for her client. She made a phone call to the other parties attorney and settled a matter in minutes which gave her sufficient time to prepare my case. In court she carries a level of confidence that is obvious to the entire courtroom. She is not only respected by other attorneys as a subject matter expert in Military Law, she is respected by Judges as well. Her unique ability to break down an attorneys arguement was something you only see in movies. I have already recommended her to people who are seeking divorce attorneys. She was able to accomplish a successful trial and it ended in my favor. I wish she would get a reality show because she is definitely the superhero attorney you want on your side. She is definitely worth every penny and I highly recommend her just as she was highly recommended to me. This attorney is more than golden she is a Diamond!

Maureen is fabulous at what she does. Fortuitously, I found her after she was recommended by the circuit court after my attorney quit in the middle of our divorce process, namely because she was threatened by my "Mister Big Shot" DC attorney. My saga is a long one, in the end I intend to write a book, no joke (I'm a writer by trade), so I'll try to keep it short although there are very many things I could address that may help people looking for such an attorney. Maureen is not scared of anyone in my opinion :-). I was a young wife & mom with two babies/toddler when my husband left us. We'd been together 14 years and it was shock to the core, "We don't believe in divorce" I was told for over decade, although there were red flags – they seem so huge now- and if I only knew then what I know now. He turns 40 & had midlife crisis. And much more. But I refused separation agreement, numb in shock & busy raising babes, & I did not get an attorney until we had been separated for over a year. I went to various consultations with top attorneys in the area, and many were concerned about the case and it high-profile/high conflict condition. The attorney I finally hired was "ready to attack" husband Who had taken savings, pathological liar, incredibly difficult but she seemed empathetic to my saga & dealing with narcissists it seems. So I spent over half a year process and a PL hearing with this attorney. I wish I had Maureen then. That attorney slowly stopped responding to emails and was disorganized mess – but this is about Maureen. So, almost 2 years after ex left us, I was without attorney, being attacked with lies and threats from ex, and scared to death. I then found Maureen. She had like a years worth of work and catching up to do for my divorce case. But she worked incredibly quickly and took interest in my difficult situation. She was certainly not afraid of my soon-to-be ex. She is tough, strong woman & was very organized and explained things that I had not learned after being with a different attorney for nearly a year. She hit the ground running. In addition she is extremely intelligent. She is very good with the numbers game that is divorce and the stress doing with child support and alimony and splitting assets and more. I would certainly use her again and I'm still in the midst of dealing with a now ex-husband that will not follow the separation agreement signed and notarized with three lawyers in the room. Now I have to deal with him being in contempt of court. Not surprise, no longer does anything surprise me and once a very emotional and overly giving person I was, I learned to have a thick skin with these kind of situations. If yours is not personal, sadly, it is just business. We had many assets to divide after such time together, and you work insane hours the entire marriage and children and they are my life. Maureen help me take the emotion out of it for divorce court purposes. [of course I'm a hands-on mommy, All I wanted was my babies – husband already had mistress the day he left us, and I cared for them nonstop with my mother] husband was gone and took kids seven states away anytime he had a weekend. So we are still dealing with ex NOT following up on his end of the settlement agreement – LYING pathologically, 401(k), final settlement monies, et al. Maureen is always there for me. I would recommend her to everyone. And I already do. She is one busy attorney I am sure and has many awards. THANK YOU DEAR Maureen for everything you have done for my family. I KNOW THIS IS CHEESY, BUT YOU KNOW I'M LIKE THAT-- You were sent from the heavens I strongly believe --- I was destined to find you after my other attorney ran for the hills because you saved my life and finally I found a real attorney – organize and brilliant. Sarah- Annapolis, MD P.s. (-not signing my real name because I'm afraid of ex. He's blocked out any memories of 15 yrs and I don't exist unless he wants to torment me.)

Dear Maureen,     I just wanted to send a special word of appreciation. You didn't have to take our case. However Agodd and I are so thankful to you did. You have such a great firm with wonderful caring and supportive staff. Friday afternoon while picking Agodd up from school. Someone asked me how i was doing? I could finally answer honestly. I'm feeling hopeful and positive and optimistic again.  It's a wonderful feeling. Sooooo Thanks again, Kayla and Agodd

When I first met with Ms. Glackin, I knew within the first 10 mins that she was the perfect lawyer to represent me in my divorce case. My fight against my ex was a tough and long process, however, Ms, Glackin stood by my side the entire time and was able to use her military knowledge to fight for the rights that my daughter and I deserved. During the entire process, Ms. Glackin helped me understand what needed to be done, explained valuable information to me and supported my daughter and me. She was very patient with me when I had questions and needed to understand what was going to happen and what needed to be done to be successful. I truly believe that a Higher Power led me to Ms. Glackin and her services. Her professionalism was impeccable throughout, whether in meetings, mediation, but especially during the court hearing. If you are a single mom, facing a difficult military divorce, I highly recommend Maureen Glackin to represent you and your family.

My saga is a long one, in the end I intend to write a book, no joke (I'm a writer by trade), so I'll try to keep it short although there are very many things I could address that may help people looking for such an attorney. Maureen is not scared of anyone in my opinion :-). I was a young wife & mom with two babies/toddler when my husband left us. We'd been together 14 years and it was shock to the core, "We don't believe in divorce" I was told for over decade, although there were red flags – they seem so huge now- and if I only knew then what I know now. He turns 40 & had midlife crisis. And much more. But I refused separation agreement, numb in shock & busy raising babes, & I did not get an attorney until we had been separated for over a year. I went to various consultations with top attorneys in the area, and many were concerned about the case and it high-profile/high conflict condition. The attorney I finally hired was "ready to attack" husband Who had taken savings, pathological liar, incredibly difficult but she seemed empathetic to my saga & dealing with narcissists it seems. So I spent over half a year process and a PL hearing with this attorney. I wish I had Maureen then. That attorney slowly stopped responding to emails and was disorganized mess – but this is about Maureen. So, almost 2 years after ex left us, I was without attorney, being attacked with lies and threats from ex, and scared to death. I then found Maureen. She had like a years worth of work and catching up to do for my divorce case. But she worked incredibly quickly and took interest in my difficult situation. She was certainly not afraid of my soon-to-be ex. She is tough, strong woman & was very organized and explained things that I had not learned after being with a different attorney for nearly a year. She hit the ground running. In addition she is extremely intelligent. She is very good with the numbers game that is divorce and the stress doing with child support and alimony and splitting assets and more. I would certainly use her again and I'm still in the midst of dealing with a now ex-husband that will not follow the separation agreement signed and notarized with three lawyers in the room. Now I have to deal with him being in contempt of court. Not surprise, no longer does anything surprise me and once a very emotional and overly giving person I was, I learned to have a thick skin with these kind of situations. If yours is not personal, sadly, it is just business. We had many assets to divide after such time together, and you work insane hours the entire marriage and children and they are my life. Maureen help me take the emotion out of it for divorce court purposes. [of course I'm a hands-on mommy, All I wanted was my babies – husband already had mistress the day he left us, and I cared for them nonstop with my mother] husband was gone and took kids seven states away anytime he had a weekend. So we are still dealing with ex NOT following up on his end of the settlement agreement – LYING pathologically, 401(k), final settlement monies, et al. Maureen is always there for me. I would recommend her to everyone. And I already do. She is one busy attorney I am sure and has many awards. THANK YOU DEAR Maureen for everything you have done for my family. I KNOW THIS IS CHEESY, BUT YOU KNOW I'M LIKE THAT-- You were sent from the heavens I strongly believe --- I was destined to find you after my other attorney ran for the hills because you saved my life and finally I found a real attorney – organize and brilliant.

Dear Maureen,     I just wanted to send a special word of appreciation. You didn't have to take our case. However Agodd and I are so thankful to you did. You have such a great firm with wonderful caring and supportive staff. Friday afternoon while picking Agodd up from school. Someone asked me how i was doing? I could finally answer honestly. I'm feeling hopeful and positive and optimistic again.  It's a wonderful feeling. Sooooo Thanks again, Kayla and Agodd

When I first met with Ms. Glackin, I knew within the first 10 mins that she was the perfect lawyer to represent me in my divorce case. My fight against my ex was a tough and long process, however, Ms, Glackin stood by my side the entire time and was able to use her military knowledge to fight for the rights that my daughter and I deserved. During the entire process, Ms. Glackin helped me understand what needed to be done, explained valuable information to me and supported my daughter and me. She was very patient with me when I had questions and needed to understand what was going to happen and what needed to be done to be successful. I truly believe that a Higher Power led me to Ms. Glackin and her services. Her professionalism was impeccable throughout, whether in meetings, mediation, but especially during the court hearing. If you are a single mom, facing a difficult military divorce, I highly recommend Maureen Glackin to represent you and your family.

My experience with Ms. Glackin surpassed my expectations. I was stressed with an impending military to military divorce and had the need for expert advice with regard to this specialized area. Ms. Glackin was very personable and it ws immediately clear that she was well-versed on the nuances of military specific divorce and separation law. She conducted our consultation with efficiency and professionalism - I did not feel rushed in any way, but she did not waste a minute (even when I began to drift off topic/track from time to time). Ms. Glackin advised me on how to proceed with constructing a separation agreement that met my specialized needs and expectations with respect to child custody, and advised me about the impending uncontested divorce. She brought to the fore many topics and concerns I had never thought to consider. Her law firm was certainly not the least expensive, but I wanted an aggressive, but personable attorney would listen to my concerns, but not shy away from providing full-scope advice and be forward about highlighting and safeguarding my interests. It was equally as important that the attorney I chose have the respect of their peers and the of the court. Ms. Glackin has both, as was later evidenced in our dealings. I will finish by saying I highly recommend her to those who are looking for a thorough, efficient attorney with EXPERT knowledge in family law, and with respect to the specific circumstances of military cases. I was able to rest easier knowing I had received sound advice and specific advice about a way forward.

I retained Maureen's firm, RGH law almost two years ago and have never seen such phenomenal integrity and professionalism. Even though I had retained a different partner in the firm, there was an instance where this partner had to go out of town for a family emergency. Instead of filing a continuance, Maureen stepped in and handled the pendente lite hearing in expert fashion. Her efforts secured the marital home for me, and 50/50 custody of my children. This is way more than most father's could get, and I am forever grateful for her zealous advocacy for my children and I.

No one wants to come out of divorce on the short end! Maureen Glackin is sharp! She knows the law and understands the emotion that comes along with the territory! She listened to my concerns, provided the timely and accurate documents, informed me of my options, then worked with me to make smart decisions! By the time the war ended, I had to pull my car over and take it all in. I was truly relieved from the stress I carried for many years. Her firm provided sound support, understanding, and quality service, definitely worthy of the fee. I recommend she be the first person called when you need an attorney. No doubt about it!!

Ms Glackin is by far one of the best Lawyers in Maryland and she is also recognized internationally. She was recommended to me by another Top Lawyer that didn’t practice in PG. She is absolutely professional, her knowledge in Family Law is always on point. My divorce was very tricky because it involved Military & international custody law. Maureen is an expert on both subjects matters and knew exactly what to do. I myself observed at my court hearing how even other lawyers asked her for advice. She is worth her money. Maureen has been my rock and helped me & my kids through this difficult time. I value her because she is a strong smart & fierce lawyer and on top a wonderful person.

I can't overstate how absolutely impressed I have been with you and your Firm throughout this process. You have made a very difficult time for my son and myself come to a swift resolution and I am extremely grateful for that. My father has more than 45 years of experience in family law matters as a forensic accountant working on highl profile, complex and contentious divorces in NY and has repeatedly expressed how impressed he is with the responsiveness and competency of your firm and I couldn't agree more. My situation was extremely complex and had the potential to be dragged out in court for a very long time. I fully believe that because of the combination your advice, along with your ability to balance aggressiveness with fairness, I was able to settle my entire divorce (custody and the financial issues) in under 2 months. You and your associates have exceeded my expectations at every turn and have my highest recommendation for anyone looking for a top notch firm to help them navigate through the divorce and custody process.

Maureen is beyond wonderful. My divorce was something out of a horror movie and I always could count on Maureen to restore order, think logically, and consistently communicate with opposing council to try to resolve issues. Maureen and I had a lot of realistic discussions that were at times, hard to hear but - always in the best interests of me and my children. In my case, the opposing side was unwilling to compromise and was focused on greed so Maureen litigated the case. I was watching COMPLETE legal brilliance every time we went to court. She was always prepared, has a mastery of the law, and is HIGHLY liked and known at the courthouse. Over the course of my divorce, I spent a fair amount of time at the courthouse and without fail, in EVERY passing conversation when it came up that Maureen was my lawyer, I would find myself in an ‘admiration-fest’ of compliments and praises for her. From bailiffs to reporters, clerks, and general courthouse staff; Maureen is universally kind and well liked. Above all else – RESULTS!!! I am an African-American Male, listed as the Defendant in my Court Case… to say that I was concerned is an understatement. Maureen was able to overcome a horrific previous ruling and get me equal custody of my kids, protected family assets, has gotten over a dozen motions against me denied or thrown out, successfully argued our contempt motion against my ex-wife, got attorney fees granted in my favor, and has done it all with her ethics and morals intact. Maureen Glackin has been beyond wonderful and I can’t imagine a better ally.

After meeting with Maureen she immediately did research on my case, gave me detailed information regarding the matter and I told her "I want you to represent me!" We continued to go over my case (divorce, property & seperation) and she had so much knowledge that she educated me on regarding the best way to resolve the issues I faced. Her professionalism and presentation is commanding, she will fight for her client. She made a phone call to the other parties attorney and settled a matter in minutes which gave her sufficient time to prepare my case. In court she carries a level of confidence that is obvious to the entire courtroom. She is not only respected by other attorneys as a subject matter expert in Military Law, she is respected by Judges as well. Her unique ability to break down an attorneys arguement was something you only see in movies. I have already recommended her to people who are seeking divorce attorneys. She was able to accomplish a successful trial and it ended in my favor. I wish she would get a reality show because she is definitely the superhero attorney you want on your side. She is definitely worth every penny and I highly recommend her just as she was highly recommended to me. This attorney is more than golden she is a Diamond!
