When you think about a personal injury lawyer, what images come to mind? For many people, it is the negative stereotype of an attorney chasing an ambulance, or a smiling lawyer on a TV commercial who is urging you to get the most you can out of an accident that caused an injury. And while those conventional portrayals of personal injury lawyers may be amusing, they are not representative of the kind of service that we provide at the Law Offices of Duane O. King, P.C.. What I’ve learned practicing law for more than 15 years is that people who are injured and people who suffered a loss just want to be made whole again. And while a lawyer can’t take away a family’s grief after an accident, a lawyer can help plaintiffs get justice, which can provide peace of mind during a difficult time.

When not practicing law, I enjoy doing anything automotive, reading books by C.S. Lewis, and rowing on the Potomac River.

Timothy “Tim” Altemus is an associate attorney with Fay Law Group. He draws tremendous satisfaction in advocating on behalf of real people and individuals who have a significant legal problem in their life with which they need help. He comes into any case well-prepared, knowing every conceivable thing there is to know about the individual and their matter. When all preparations are finished, he prepares some more. Attorney Altemus strongly believes that the core job of an attorney is to get their client in as good a position after the case is over as compared to where they were before it started. How that is defined, and how one gets there, is different in every case. It’s the lawyer’s job, therefore, to paint as an accurate picture as they can about the choices the client has and potential outcomes for each choice. As such, he views the attorney-client relationship as one where the lawyer acts as a guide for the client while advocating on their behalf.

Sarah believes that a divorce settlement is very much a “package”.  Utilizing her keen analytical skills, Sarah is adept at helping clients project their needs for the future and make decisions about which critical pieces they and their families will need for the long-term.  Moreover, as the mother of three children herself, if a case involves children, Sarah understands the importance of ensuring that the children’s best interests are protected and minimizing conflict. Sarah encourages her clients to ask “what if” questions during the process to help ensure that their settlement agreement (or court order) provides for important contingencies.  Sarah strives to reach a fair and long-lasting outcome that will help her clients avoid conflicts in the future, and most importantly, move forward and begin new lives.. Named by Washingtonian Magazine as one of the "Top Domestic Relations Lawyers" in the area, and recognized by both Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers, Sarah received her Juris Doctor with Honors in 1996 from the George Washington University, where she was Executive Notes Editor of the George Washington University Journal of International Law and Economics, a member of the Moot Court Board, a participant in the Domestic Violence Clinic and an intern in the Sex Offense Section of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.
