Attorney Profile

Exclusively a Family Law Attorney, Kendall Summers has over 25 years of experience in the practice of law. A graduate of American University’s Washington College of Law, she was an Editor of the American University Journal of International Law and Policy. Her excellence in the profession was formed by her early work with our nation’s premiere law firms. Beginning her practice with Senator Birch Bayh (D. Ind), she then practiced in Washington, D.C. with the national firms of Morgan Lewis & Bockius, Howrey and Simon, and Willkie Farr & Gallagher.

Attorney Summers is a practiced litigator, court-certified mediator, and technically skilled, not only in the delicacies of Family Law, but also in Adoption Law, Wills and Trusts, and Elder Care Law. She describes her practice as being there for all aspects of family life, from birth and adoption, marriage, the difficulties of divorce and separation, support, custody, property settlements, wills and trusts, and providing legal help to our elders. Life is full of difficult as well as positive transitions. We stand fully beside our clients and strive to provide a supportive and meaningful legal experience that helps our clients through and brings them where they need to be. Attorney Summers is also an experienced negotiator and mediator.
