About Us

I was thankful to have the Rice team on my side. This was a road I did not want to walk but Stacey helped me walk it and always kept my best interest and the interest of my family in mind. If you are looking for a tenacious warrior who will fight for what is right, Stacey is your woman. It takes a special person who can walk with you in your grief but keep pointing you back to the finish line. Thank you so much to the entire team—everyone worked so hard for me. I am forever thankful.

I hired Samantha to pursue a custody and child support adjustment case (about 5 years after divorce), due to my ex not wanting to agree amicably or via neutral mediation. After explaining my situation, during the initial consult, Samantha was able to give me a very good idea of what she felt was the potential outcome. She was extremely accessible and supportive throughout the process, and even helped me iron out some difficult/touchy conversations I had to have with my ex. I was very fortunate that, after filing in court, Samantha was able to craft a proposal that kept us out of court (minimizing headaches, heartaches and costs), while satisfying the demands of my court petition in a very reasonable manner and time frame (start-to-finish in about 5 months). Hopefully I’m all set until my kids turn 18, but if any other legal issues arise, she’ll be the first person I call.

Samantha was a fantastic attorney. She was prompt, followed up regularly and proactively with status updates, and made time to answer questions for me. She was also very professional and prepared when we had to appear at court.

Samantha guided me through multiples steps in the long year of waiting period under Maryland law. She also found ways to make the process and discovery of documents and preparation easier and more cost-effective while I struggled to wait for compensation from ex-spouse. I was awarded the best possible outcome and more than her or I had imagined! I would highly recommend her.

Samantha is one of the hardest working attorneys you will find. She has assisted me personally and a number of friends/family that I have referred to her over the years. She is an effective communicator, patient and dedicated to her clients. You can always trust she has your best interest in mind.

I can’t be more thankful for all of you. I am almost 70 years old and was married for close to 40 years. Your firm was very compassionate, very helpful. I had no trouble whatsoever every time I had a question it was answered you were all just amazing and I can’t thank you more for your service.

Aside from my x-husband’s manic mood swings, Samantha’s guidance was the only other reliable thing I could count on in the coldest and darkest chapter of my life. I wouldn’t wish divorce on anyone, but when there is no other choice, I can only hope they have someone as good as her on their side. Thank you for going to battle with me Samantha. I have zero doubt you change the course of history for the better, on the daily.

Mr. Volke provided sound legal advice throughout the two years it took to accomplish my divorce. Despite obstacles, he tirelessly addressed each issue after reviewing and researching to ensure a positive outcome. My case took longer than usual based on issues on my end, however, he always took time to address my concerns and replied to me the same day. The most straight forward attorney I have come across in the state of MD, who cares about the client. The single most significant quality about Mr. Volke is his candor and work ethic. He found answers quick, and researched everything to ensure he was a 100%. This quality is hard to find, and it shows he looks at each case with the same thoroughness despite it being just another divorce. I plan to use Mr. Volke on all legal issues that fall under his purview in the future. Fully recommend Mr. Volke to those that are in the process, or beginning of a divorce

Nathan is an extremely knowledgeable and compassionate attorney. He guided me through the long process of separation and divorce with great attention to all the small details. Perhaps, most importantly, he was very accessible- by phone and e-mail for all my questions and concerns- I always received prompt responses. I would highly recommend him.

Mr. Volke represented me in a 3rd party custody case. Mr. Volke took the time to listen to my situation and suggested different options. He made me aware of the pros and cons of each option. When the initial option I chose did not go as planned, Mr. Volke help me to decide how to move forward. Again always keeping me informed of several possible outcomes. When the time came for the court hearing I felt confident and relieved that I had Mr. Volke to represent me.

Nathan did an amazing and tremendously awesome job on our case! It was a very difficult and emotional case but he was able to tell us the facts and keep us grounded in reality during the whole process. He stayed by our side and kept us informed and even followed up afterward! He’s an attorney with a heart and empathy. What really impressed me was that he understood I wanted my daughter to come first beyond anyone else, even myself, that is what I love about him the most! Thank you, Nathan, for all of your diligence and hard work!!
