Congratulations to Ally Comegys, who spent September 25–28 in Chicago at the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers' 2026 Institute for Family Law Associates!

Ally took part in the Advanced Program, which is open to associates who have already first-chaired their own cases. Over four days, she worked through custody-focused sessions, including interstate jurisdiction under the UCCJEA, analyzing custody evaluations, cross-examining mental health experts, coercive control, and digital evidence. She also met in small groups with AAML Fellow mentors.

We're proud of Ally's commitment to growing her custody practice and bringing that training back to our clients in Maryland.

This year's program covered new decisions on custody when both parents have died, protective orders, child support modifications, and the misuse of AI in court filings.

Congratulations to Chris Nicholson, Mary Roby Sanders, and Rebecca Fleming, all recognized in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® in Family Law (Baltimore, MD).

Best Lawyers selections come entirely from peer review — attorneys evaluating the lawyers they've worked with and against. In family law, where so much of the work happens outside the courtroom, that's a recognition worth having.

Congratulations to all three.

Turnbull, Nicholson & Sanders, P.A. is honored to share that the firm has been named a Winner in the "Best Law Firm - Family" category of The Daily Record's 2026 Reader Rankings.

The Reader Rankings are The Daily Record's annual recognition of the best businesses, firms, and service providers across Maryland. The results are determined entirely by public vote. Readers nominate candidates across dozens of categories, and the winners are decided by the community that knows their work firsthand: clients, colleagues, and fellow professionals throughout the state.

That is what makes this recognition especially meaningful to us. Family law is personal work, often undertaken during the most difficult chapter of a client's life. To be recognized by the people of Maryland tells us that the care, advocacy, and discretion our team brings to every matter is being felt where it counts.

Our thanks to everyone who took the time to nominate and vote for TNS Family Law. We are grateful for your confidence, and we will keep working to earn it.

Turnbull, Nicholson & Sanders, P.A. is proud to congratulate Jasmine N. Pope, who was honored last night as one of The Daily Record's 2026 Leading Women Under 40.

Each year, The Daily Record's Leading Women Under 40 Awards recognize women who are 40 years of age and younger for the accomplishments they have achieved so far in their careers. Honorees are selected based on their professional experience, their involvement in the community, and their commitment to inspiring change. This year's class was chosen by previous Leading Women Under 40 honorees together with a representative of The Daily Record making the recognition a distinction bestowed by peers who understand what meaningful leadership looks like.

The 2026 class was celebrated at an awards reception on Wednesday evening at Gertrude's Restaurant at the Baltimore Museum of Art. Profiles of this year's honorees appear in a special magazine inserted into today's issue of The Daily Record and are available online at TheDailyRecord.com.

Jasmine's selection reflects the dedication, drive, and professional excellence she brings to her work every day, and we are honored to have her as part of the TNS Family Law team. This recognition is a testament not only to what she has already accomplished, but to the impact she will continue to make in the years ahead.

Congratulations again, Jasmine — this honor is well deserved.
