Andrea Hirsch portrait
 
 

Since 1996, individuals in Washington, D.C., and Maryland have turned to The Law Firm of Andrea Hirsch for help with divorce, child custody, support and other family law issues. 

Having the right lawyer affects not only the outcome of the case but the manner in which it is handled. And that manner can have lasting consequences. Fanning the flames of animosity, litigating every point no matter how emotionally and financially draining—this is not the approach of Attorney Andrea Hirsch when handling her clients’ family law disputes.

Attorney Hirsch focuses on getting to know her clients, building relationships with them, and helping them  reach a resolution that is in their best interests. It is important to her that her advice to clients is realistic in view of their particular  circumstances.  Every family is different and there are no cookie-cutter solutions. It is her informed belief, based on decades of experience, that most family law disputes are better handled out of court. Whenever possible, she uses negotiation, mediation or collaborative processes to find resolutions that benefit the entire family.
