Helping clients navigate new beginnings with strong advocacy and compassion

About Kowitz Law Group

At the Kowitz Law Group we serve clients in central Maryland, providing creative and specialized solutions to resolve any family matter. Each client is given tailored options and counseled as to the benefits and potential downsides. We also partner with other experts to provide a holistic agreement incorporating your financial and emotional needs.

 

Our attorneys have been trained in negotiation and persuasion and seek to resolve matters through agreements first and foremost. When family matters can't be resolved with agreements, we use our knowledge of the law, jurist and court procedure to provide strong advocacy in the courtroom. We weigh the costs and possible outcomes of each decision when litigating based on our trial experience.

​

It is our goal that each client is an active participant in the process. This starts in early meetings where we seek to understand and help identify their goals. We pride ourselves on strong client communication and compassionately and empathetically address each concern or worry. We do not take your decision to employ us lightly. You have engaged us to help you in the most important aspect of your life, your family, and we strive to make a difficult process manageable, affordable and engaging. 


Meet Shannon Kowitz, Esq.

Shannon Kowitz has dedicated her career to helping families. She has over twelve years of experience representing clients in divorce, custody, protective orders and guardianships. She is focused on positive results and her compassion, application of the law and strategic approach sets her apart from other attorneys.

 

Kowitz began her career representing victims of domestic violence with the Domestic Violence Center of Howard County (now Hopeworks). There, Kowitz learned how to deal with high conflict personalities and act efficiently to prepare emergency matters. Once leaving Hopeworks, Kowitz worked in private practice, continuing to dedicate her work to resolving conflict within families. It is her life passion to provide a new beginning for those in a family transition.  

 

The Kowitz Law Group was developed because Shannon believed there was a need for client centered and compassionate family law services. 

 

Shannon is an active member of her legal and personal community. She is a past president of the Women’s Bar Association of Howard County. The Court appoints her to represent children in their parent’s divorces demonstrating that the court trusts her judgment in custody matters. Also, her peers have nominated her since 2013 as a Superlawyer, and in 2022, she was selected to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers as a mentee for her exceptional commitment to her field. When she is not working with clients, she enjoys taking Peloton classes, making clay earrings and spending time with her family.
