Who We Are
Meet the Confident Divorce and Family Law Attorneys of McCabe Russell, PA
Serving Howard and Montgomery Counties from offices in Columbia, Fulton, Bethesda and Rockville
One issue many clients broach with us is their innate discomfort with sharing with a stranger every element of their lives, familial relationships and finances. This inclination is both natural and common, and so we hope to alleviate some level of that inhibition by sharing with you not only our professional affiliations, recommendations and business contacts, but also all the local events and programs we participate in and support. We value our community and are active participants and volunteers in support of a wide array of issues. Knowing how we spend our time and our charitable contributions, we hope, may allay some of your concerns and provide a solid foundation for building a relationship together to achieve your goals and represent your needs.

What sets McCabe Russell, PA apart
No matter how connected to our local community we are and how many professional awards and accolades our attorneys receive, the ultimate test of whether we are an effective law firm is the results our clients get and how they feel about the process of working with us.
Collaborating with our firm means you are working with ethical, discreet and knowledgeable attorneys and staff who understand not only the minute details of the relevant laws for your case and the potential effects they might have on your situation, but also how each family is unique – and how those individual circumstances will affect how we move forward, together. We offer our clients unshakeable legal and emotional support, so that they can find a path to their new lives.
We have earned our reputation as experienced and aggressive litigators, but we understand that not every client is best served by heading straight to trial. It is our duty to build the case that works best for our clients; therefore, we offer collaborative strategies, when applicable. Many of our attorneys are trained mediators, and can represent your best interests in these sessions.
Partners Heather McCabe and Emily Russell are certified Best Interest attorneys. To learn more about who we are as individuals, we invite you to read the Our Professionals page.
