Mccabe Russell

What Mccabe Russell does

McCabe Russell Divorce and Child Custody Lawyers is a Maryland-based family law firm operating as a Professional Association (McCabe Russell, P.A.), founded by Heather McCabe and Emily Russell in 2009. The firm provides a full range of family law services, including contested and uncontested divorce, child custody and support, alimony, asset and business division, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, mediation, collaborative divorce, protective and peace orders, adoption, parenting coordination, and same-sex/LGBTQ family law representation. Its client base consists of individuals and families in Maryland — primarily in Howard and Montgomery Counties — with dedicated specializations in military divorce, business-owner asset division, and families with special-needs children. The firm distinguishes itself through court-qualified Best Interest Attorney credentials held by its founders and has earned repeated recognition in Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers in America, and MSN Top 10 Leading Lawyers.

The firm is staffed by 11-50 employees across five Maryland offices (Fulton headquarters, plus Columbia, Bethesda, Rockville, and Gaithersburg), with an equity and senior bench that has expanded through multiple promotions since 2021. Client acquisition is primarily referral-driven and local, supplemented by content marketing through an active blog, YouTube educational videos, community sponsorship (Catonsville Pride, Howard County Food Bank, Community Action Council), and ratings from BBB, Super Lawyers, AVVO, and Expertise.com.

Revenue is generated through fee-based professional services — hourly rates and retainers tied to case complexity, contested versus uncontested status, and whether litigation is required. The firm operates as a private partnership with no disclosed investors, no external funding, no subsidiaries, and no publicly disclosed financial figures. Growth has been entirely organic, evidenced by office expansion, attorney headcount additions, consecutive-year industry awards, and increasing marketing investment.
