An Eagle Scout, Erik takes the oath to “help other people at all times” seriously, relentlessly pursuing what he believes is right. Erik guides people through the separation and divorce process with dignity and empathy (especially for their children), and is tenacious in representing their interests. While he realizes that the end of a marriage can be demoralizing, he reminds his clients that self-pity is tempting but ultimately counter-productive. He encourages them to take ownership of their situations and to be active in improving their own circumstances. He champions them in negotiation, mediation, or litigation to resolve their disputes efficiently so they can move forward to the next stage of life.. Erik is particularly experienced in representing high net worth people in property and alimony disputes, including those involving “chasing dollars”—finding money that’s been moved, uncovering concealed assets, or analyzing records and building models to accurately identify income from all sources. Erik is drawn to the hard cases, those nobody else wants or that are long-shot challenges. These often include spousal support, asset distribution, child support, or high-conflict custody and visitation disputes.. Erik is listed in Best Lawyers in America for Family Law and in the Maryland and DC editions of Super Lawyers. Bethesda Magazine calls Erik one of the “Top 10 Family Law Attorneys Under 40.” He also has been recognized by his peers in the bar association with the President’s Citation for Outstanding Service and the Bar Leader award.. Erik isn’t determined only in the courtroom—he’s a “Tough Mudder” competitor who’s done two of the World’s Toughest Mudders (24 hours in the Vegas desert described as “the most extreme, insane, imposing, pulse-pounding, heart-stopping 24-hour obstacle course challenge on the planet”). The Churchill grad brings the same focused commitment to his service to the community where he grew up, which includes supporting Montgomery County Special Olympics athletes and feeding the homeless at Shepherd’s Table (a continuation of “helping other people at all times”).

My practice of family law is distinguished by my unique understanding and compassion for my clients and the issues they face as they wade through the stressful and often unpredictable process of dissolving a marriage. Raised by divorced parents in two different households, I am keenly aware of and sensitive to both the emotional underpinnings as well as the logistical realities of separation, divorce and custody disputes. I listen to my clients, understands their perspectives and help them anticipate issues and identify both their short- and long-term goals. I work closely with my clients to help them develop practical, creative and cost-effective strategies for attaining those goals.. I have extensive experience handling all family law issues that arise, from negotiation and drafting of separation agreements, through litigating contested divorce and custody cases. I practice across Maryland and handle complex custody and access disputes, sophisticated property distribution and business valuation issues, alimony and child support matters, post-judgment modification and enforcement cases, domestic violence matters, adoptions, pre- and post-nuptial agreements and appellate advocacy.. I understand that no two cases are the same; there are no successful cookie-cutter approaches in life or in family law. I take my obligation seriously as both an attorney and a counselor at law, and take time to ensure my clients understand their options. I am at my best when guiding my clients through the daily issues of their cases, and when counseling clients as they make important decisions that will have a long-term impact on their and their children's lives. I have been recognized by Maryland Super Lawyers magazine as a Rising Star (2012-2021) and as a Super Lawyer (2022), by Best Lawyers in America (2016-present), by Washingtonian Magazine as a Top Divorce Lawyer (2020, 2021) and by Bethesda Magazine as a Top Divorce Attorney (2019, 2021). I was inducted into the Maryland Chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (one of only 38 attorneys in the State of Maryland to be included) in 2020.. I believe that lawyers have an obligation to serve their community beyond the practice of law.

Currently, I serve on the Judicial Selections Committee, tasked with vetting and endorsing candidates for the Bench (I have previously served as Vice Chair and Chair); as well as co-chair of the Strategic Planning Committee. In the past, I have served as co-chair of the New Practitioner’s Section; co-chair of the Association’s annual Special Olympics project, the Inspiration Walk; co-chair of the Family Law Section; and co-chair of the Leadership Development Committee. I have been recognized for my service, receiving several awards from the Bar Association. I also serve the community by presenting educational programs regarding separation, divorce and custody around Montgomery County.  I grew up in Frederick County; and in my spare time, I enjoy rooting for the Ravens, cooking and traveling, and spending time with my husband and sons.
