Placing Client Satisfaction First
At the law office of Joel W. Anders, we have been representing individuals in Washington, D.C., and the surrounding Maryland communities for over three decades. Placing high value on integrity, quality and customer service, we strive to truly understand our clients' concerns and reach positive outcomes that help them reach their goals.
We concentrate our practice on legal issues that directly impact families, including family law, guardianship/conservatorship and criminal defense.
Seasoned Litigator on Your Side
Our firm's founding attorney, Joel W. Anders, has 32 years of experience as a trial lawyer. During this time, he has developed a detailed understanding of how the legal system operates, which enables him to effectively and efficiently guide cases through the legal process.
This knowledge gives attorney Anders the ability to quickly determine when a client can best be served by settlement negotiation, a generally more conservative and cost-effective method of dispute resolution. However, when a case demands a courtroom trial, our lawyer is prepared to draw on his extensive litigation experience to fight on behalf of our clients. Either way, our firm believes aggressive advocacy is key to giving clients the opportunity to make critical decisions on their own terms.
Network of Relationships
Over the past 32 years, our team has developed professional relationships with judges and colleagues in the legal community. Fostering these relationships can have a positive influence on a case, as others naturally tend to listen to people they respect and who have achieved a reputation over time for diligent and ethical client representation.
