Mediator / Attorney Profile

Margaret G. Richlin ("Migsie") is a mediator for all family and domestic matters including separation, divorce, pre-nuptial agreements and post-nuptial agreements. She also mediates disputes that arise in blended families, partnerships, work environments, neighborhoods, contracts, or estate matters. In mediation, Migsie provides a structured and effective process that facilitates a mutually acceptable resolution of issues that are important to the participants. She involves a neutral financial specialist and/or a co-parenting child specialist as necessary.

Migsie's approach to conflict resolution has evolved over 30 years of family law legal experience, representing men and women in both simple and highly complex domestic matters. She has taught Family Law as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Maryland Law School. Her mediation skills also reflect her prior career as a family therapist and her extensive community service. Migsie is a uniquely qualified professional committed to excellence, efficiency, and responsiveness.
