Shelby Whale is exceptional.
Through one of the most stressful experiences of my life, Shelby kept me calm, informed, and confident. She’s not a “scorched earth” attorney, she’s the one who wins by being prepared, logical, and relentlessly steady. She’s also incredibly honest about what’s worth pursuing and what’s not, which has saved me time, money, and emotional energy.
Shelby combines deep knowledge of Maryland family law with a level of professionalism and empathy that’s incredibly rare. She doesn’t just handle cases, she manages chaos with strategy. Her communication is clear, timely, and compassionate, and she has a gift for cutting through emotional noise to focus on what truly matters in court.
If you’re facing a difficult custody or family law situation, I can’t recommend Shelby enough.
Randall Herriott and the team at Reinstein, Glackin, & Herriott come highly recommended. Randy was very professional but still provided a warm and empathetic tone to our interactions, which made navigating a divorce infinitely easier. He navigated the intricacies of my case with thoughtfulness and empathy. The communication among he and his team was consistently detailed and current. I sincerely appreciate all the care and effort they dedicated to my case and their commitment to delivering outstanding service and results.

Going through a divorce is never easy, but having Elizabeth Reinecke by my side made all the difference. From our very first meeting, Elizabeth demonstrated not only a deep understanding of family law but also a remarkable level of compassion and professionalism. She took the time to truly understand my situation, explain my options clearly, and help me feel confident in each step of the process.
Elizabeth was responsive, strategic, and always one step ahead. Her attention to detail and tireless advocacy ensured that my interests—and those of my family—were protected throughout. I never felt like just another case; Elizabeth treated me with respect, care, and integrity.
Thanks to her expertise and calm, thoughtful guidance, what could have been a painful, drawn-out ordeal was handled as smoothly and fairly as possible. I am deeply grateful for her support and highly recommend Elizabeth Reinecke to anyone seeking a strong, skilled, and compassionate divorce attorney.

I could not be more satisfied with my experience with Elizabeth Reinke. She was efficient, detailed, and always available for whatever it was I needed. We won the case and got exactly what I was asking for. I would recommend Liz to any and everyone!

Attorney Review: Randy
Randy handled my custody trial with clarity, composure, and professionalism. Throughout the process, he demonstrated a thorough understanding of the legal system and presented the facts in a way that was both respectful and effective. His ability to stay calm under pressure and respond appropriately to opposing counsel helped me feel supported and taken seriously.
At the beginning of the case, I had some differences of opinion with him on legal strategy. I was angry and emotionally overwhelmed and wanted to take a more aggressive approach in court. Randy, on the other hand, stayed focused on protecting both my son and me. His approach consistently prioritized our long-term stability and what would best support my role as a father. Rather than trying to incriminate or vilify my ex, he centered the case on custody, the needs of my child, and the standards that actually matter to the court. Over time, I came to appreciate that his strategy wasn’t just legally sound, it was the most constructive path forward for my son’s well-being.
One of the things I most appreciated about working with Randy was that he wasn’t just trying to win a case, he was trying to protect me from unnecessary legal battles, emotional harm, and wasted expenses. I now recognize how easy it would have been to burn through legal fees chasing outcomes that wouldn’t have made a meaningful difference. He stayed grounded, clear-headed, and always kept the bigger picture in view.
Randy lives and practices around Annapolis and has built strong professional relationships with attorneys and judges in the area. While Randy lives more than an hour and a half away, in a different part of the state, I could tell it mattered to him that his reputation and relationships remained professional and respected. His broader experience and integrity made a real difference in how my case was handled.
