Family Law Appeals in DC and Maryland

Jonathan D. Lane represents clients seeking to challenge or defend a family court decision in the District of Columbia and Maryland.

Representation on Either Side of an Appeal

• Appeals challenging family court decisions

• Responses defending against an appeal

• Motions for reconsideration and motions to alter or amend, where appropriate

A Candid Assessment

I have experience successfully winning and defending against appeals. Most decisions you disagree with are not worth appealing. It can be difficult to persuade an appellate court to reject a trial court’s decision, but sometimes you do have recourse. I will not take on an appeal or similar effort unless I believe it has a chance of success.

Please provide only a brief overview at this stage. Sending an inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
