For many people, divorce is not only traumatic -- it also can be incredibly complex. There are a multitude of issues to consider: finance, property, child custody and visitation, and more. When it comes to hiring a lawyer, your best choice is a firm that will cover all the bases while leaving you with peace of mind about your divorce process. Since 1995, the lawyers at Shah & Kishore in Rockville, Maryland, have been doing just that.

At Shah & Kishore, we believe in helping our clients resolve their family-law issues amicably, so the family structure remains as intact as possible after the separation. While we are very experienced and aggressive litigators, our firm is always amicable and willing to mediate, in order to settle cases outside of court. "A non-adversarial approach creates a better atmosphere for the clients' relationship, especially when kids are involved," says Rahul Kishore, Partner. "As litigation continues, the parties often develop an animosity that can spiral out of control. Only the lawyers benefit from this, and only in terms of legal fees and expenses." We do, however, recognize that each case is different and are committed to serving our clients' individual needs. "When necessary, we can be aggressive and go after every possible option we have," explains Kishore.

Kishore and Partner Devang M. Shah both possess strong financial backgrounds in addition to their legal skills. "Most people don't think of lawyers as number-crunchers," says Kishore, "but I have an MBA, and Mr. Shah has knowledge of both law and taxation. We handle cases that are asset-driven and involve real estate, stock options, or retirement accounts." If a client has a business, we can offer an analysis of the books. "We'll review financial, income, and tax statements to see if the other spouse is trying to hide assets," says Kishore. "Even if we need to hire a specific business valuator, we can make sense of what they're saying. We can act as an educated intermediary for our client."

At Shah & Kishore, our attorneys' skills go hand-in-hand with their compassion. "Divorce is a very upsetting time. Family-law attorneys should be congenial and understanding toward their clients' emotional turmoil," says Kishore. "We listen and we care. When required, we also recommend professional help through psychologists, counselors, and parenting coordinators. This provides an emotional anchor that the client needs in this situation." Our attorneys also pride themselves on their availability to our clients. "We have a system that allows you to reach our attorneys at all times; clients can leave a message to reach us directly," says Kishore. "We always answer our clients' questions – and not just during regular business hours."

With knowledge and experience in all family-law areas, financial knowledge that most lawyers lack, and the determination to accomplish our clients' goals, we deliver top tier professional advice in a cost-efficient manner. "We believe in strongly advocating for our clients and resolving their cases as quickly and efficiently as possible, so they can get on with their lives," concludes Kishore.
