Kari H. Fawcett brings an impressive educational background reflecting both intellectual accomplishment and diverse professional experiences. She earned her A.B. from Vassar College in 1979, one of the nation's most prestigious liberal arts colleges. Vassar, known for rigorous academics and development of critical thinking skills, provided Kari with excellent intellectual preparation for subsequent professional studies. She continued her education at Washington University in St. Louis, earning a Master's in Health Administration (M.H.A.) in 1983. This health administration degree may reflect early career interests or simply represent Kari's commitment to understanding different professional fields and systems.

Kari subsequently earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Baltimore School of Law in 1987, completing her law degree at a point that marked the beginning of her legal career nearly 40 years ago. She was admitted to the Maryland Bar in 1987 and has maintained continuous bar membership and In Good Standing status since that time. Her 25+ years of legal experience means she has represented clients through multiple generations of family law practice and numerous changes to Maryland family law statutes and procedural rules.

The firm's office locations in Bowie and Annapolis provide convenient access to representation for families throughout the Baltimore metropolitan region. The specific service area includes Greenbelt, Davidsonville, Crofton, Odenton, Upper Marlboro, and surrounding Prince George's County communities. This geographic service area positions Kari and her team to serve families in an important Maryland demographic region.

The Law Office of Kari H. Fawcett's practice encompasses comprehensive family law services. Divorce representation covers mutual consent divorces (uncontested divorces where spouses have reached agreement) and contested divorces requiring litigation. The firm explicitly identifies high-asset divorce as a practice specialty, indicating experience with divorces involving substantial property, business interests, and complex financial situations. High-asset divorces often require sophisticated financial analysis, business valuation, and strategic negotiation or litigation.

Child custody matters receive particular care and attention. The firm handles custody disputes with understanding that custody determinations profoundly affect children's lives and parent-child relationships. Rather than viewing custody purely as litigation to be won at any cost, Kari works with clients to develop arrangements that serve children's welfare while respecting both parents' legitimate interests in meaningful contact and relationships.

Separation agreements—legal documents memorializing agreements between spouses regarding property division, custody, support, and other divorce-related matters—receive careful drafting to ensure they are legally sufficient and reflect clients' intentions and understandings. Alimony and child support determinations receive meticulous attention to ensure accuracy under Maryland law and fairness to all involved. The firm also addresses domestic violence matters, recognizing that safety and protection are paramount in certain family situations.

The firm's experience with divorce and bankruptcy matters reflects recognition that sometimes family law and bankruptcy law intersect. Individuals facing divorce may also be dealing with significant debt or considering bankruptcy protection. Kari's experience navigating these intersecting areas enables comprehensive representation for clients facing these complex situations. Personal injury representation rounds out the firm's practice areas.

What distinguishes Kari's practice is her 25+ years of experience, her sophisticated educational background reflecting intellectual accomplishment across multiple disciplines, and her commitment to providing strategic, compassionate representation. Kari's Vassar education signals intellectual achievement and analytical rigor. Her Master's degree in Health Administration reflects additional professional training and commitment to understanding complex systems. Her law degree from the University of Baltimore School of Law and 25+ years of legal practice provide the experience and expertise necessary to serve families effectively.

Clients describe Kari as knowledgeable, strategic, and genuinely committed to their welfare. Her ability to explain complex legal concepts in understandable terms empowers clients to make informed decisions about their legal matters and futures. Her experience in high-asset divorce means she can handle sophisticated financial analysis and complex property division.
