Welcome to Joehl Law
Strong, Compassionate Representation for Your Family Law Needs
If you are facing a divorce, custody dispute, or other family law matter, you need an attorney who takes the time to understand your needs, and has the ability to help you meet them. Attorney Virginia Joehl offers clients the personal attention they need during challenging life transitions, as well as the benefit of over two decades of experience in the practice of Maryland family law.
At Joehl Law, we know that every marriage is unique, and we believe every divorce should be tailored to those specific needs. Going to trial is one way to end a marriage or settle a conflict, but it is not the only way. In order to help each client resolve their family law matter in the way that is most productive and least disruptive, we offer a variety of dispute resolution options, including litigation and mediation.
Joehl Law is committed to giving our clients the support and flexibility to resolve their family law matters in the way that is best for them and their families. We will listen to you, explain your options, advise you, and most importantly, advocate for you. Our focus is not only on resolving your family law dispute, but making sure you have the resources you need to build the future you want when your case is over.
Joehl Law serves clients throughout Maryland, including Rockville, Gaithersburg, and Bethesda. We invite you to learn more about our approach, our attorneys, and our legal services.
