Erik Arena

Firm: Lerch, Early & Brewer, Chartered
7600 Wisconsin Avenue , Bethesda , Maryland 20814
Practice Areas: Family
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”).

Elizabeth Weisberg

Firm: Lerch, Early & Brewer
7600 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 700 , Bethesda , Maryland 20814
Practice Areas: Family
Elizabeth ("Beth") Weisberg is a highly experienced divorce attorney in Lerch, Early & Brewer’s Family Law group,  skilled in both litigation and in alternative dispute resolution. She has worked nationally on child-related issues and is especially proficient at helping her clients, with or without children, define and accomplish their goals. Beth emphasizes resolving even difficult or complex family law situations without going to court when possible.  Where children are involved, Beth focuses on resolving custody and child access issues in ways that protect children from being negatively impacted by the divorce.. Beth has worked with the American Bar Association's Child Support Project educating attorneys, judges and court personnel nationally on interstate child support enforcement laws and procedures. In her 39 years of family law practice, she has contributed to various legal publications on topics including premarital agreements, division of marital property, custody, evidence, long-arm jurisdiction and interstate support enforcement.. Beth practices with an emphasis on collaborative law, a process by which divorcing couples work together with their attorneys in meetings where the concerns of both parties are addressed, with a requirement of full disclosure and a written, signed commitment to resolve all issues leading to a full divorce settlement agreement without going to court. This process is private, can help couples to reach immediate solutions, and sets the stage for the parties to better deal with changes that may occur after the divorce, such as the need to revise support or child-related issues. While not appropriate for all couples, in most cases the collaborative law approach can be transformative and avoids the escalation of hostility and overwhelming cost inherent in litigation. Clients value Beth’s ability to identify creative solutions, thorough understanding of the law, and compassion in dealing with the challenges of divorce.. Beth received a Bachelor of Arts from The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. and her Juris Doctor With Honors from The George Washington University National Law Center. She is admitted to practice in Maryland and the District of Columbia, and is a member of the Bar of the United States Supreme Court.. Beth is a founding member of Collaborative Dispute Resolution Professionals, Inc. and is a member of several other collaborative law organizations.  She has presented workshops on collaborative law for the D.C. Psychological Society and for Jewish Social Services Agency, among others.  Beth was named as a Top Divorce Lawyer by Bethesda Magazine (2017), has been listed in Super Lawyers consistently since 2007, and is peer review rated as "AV Preeminent" by Martindale-Hubbell, the highest possible rating in both legal ability and ethical standards.. Beth's favorite activities include hiking in Shenandoah National Park or along the C&O Canal, and various community service projects.  Beth organizes a holiday match project each year, raising donations through Lerch, Early & Brewer and her Bethesda community to "adopt" a wounded U.S. servicemember and his/her family in collaboration with the Yellow Ribbon Fund, a Bethesda-based nonprofit organization devoted to assisting injured U.S. servicemembers and their families.

By limiting my practice to family law and related appellate matters, I have the experience, dedication, and sensitivity to advise and advocate for clients no matter how overwhelming or complex their issues might seem. Recognized as a Maryland Super Lawyer—Rising Star for 2018 and 2019, I understand that every situation is different.  My number one goal is to help clients achieve their best outcome from the beginning to end of their case. My clients tell me that they appreciate my attention to detail and thorough approach as I assist them with sensitive financial and family situations. I understand that, when clients work with me, they are often experiencing some of the most difficult moments in their lives. Every day I seek to lend my strength, knowledge, and professionalism to my clients as they navigate contact between their personal lives and the legal system.  I am prepared to negotiate a comprehensive settlement agreement on your behalf, to bring your case to trial when appropriate, and to assist with everything in between..

I graduated magna cum laude from Notre Dame Law School (J.D. 2014)., where I was an Articles Editor for the Notre Dame Law Review. While in law school my student note researching some of the unique issues facing non-traditional family units in the legal system was selected for publication.  I was a Dean’s Academic Group Tutor for a section of Property Law and received the highest grades of my class in both Real Estate Transactions and Environmental Law. I was a Research Assistant for both a family law professor and an environmental law professor and worked at the Notre Dame Clinical Law Center, where I student-represented clients experiencing economic injustice issues. I graduated summa cum laude with Departmental Honors from Gordon College (B.A. 2010), having majored in English Language and Literature with a Pre-Law minor. During the summers of my college years, I worked as a Courtroom Clerk at the Anne Arundel County Circuit Court, where I learned to love family law.. I am admitted to the Maryland State Bar, and am a member of both the Maryland State Bar Association and the Anne Arundel County Bar Association.  I look forward to working with you on your case.
