Congratulations to Kathleen Dumais, Newly Appointed Judge to the Circuit Court for Montgomery County

On the afternoon of December 2, 2021, Kathleen Dumais was sworn in as Associate Judge for the Circuit Court for Montgomery County. Kathleen was with Ethridge Quinn from 1989 through 1996, and from 2011 until 2021. She was a long admired attorney with the firm, where her practice included complex divorce and custody matters, domestic violence protective order cases, service as a court-appointed Best Interest Attorneyfor children in custody disputes, and being a wonderful role model and steadying presence, all while serving Montgomery County and the State in the Maryland legislature at the same time.  

Kathleen’s work was regularly noticed by the community and formally in consumer and business publications. She was included in the “Top Divorce Lawyers” article in Bethesda Magazine for most of the past 15 years.  For the past 20 years she has often been named as one of the top 50 divorce lawyers in the Washington Metropolitan area by the Washingtonian Magazine and was named one of Maryland’s Top 100 Women in 2005, 2007 and 2009 by the Daily Record and is now a member of the Daily Record’s “Circle of Excellence.”

Kathleen will be missed greatly by Ethridge Quinn, but she is a great addition to the Montgomery County Bench. Ethridge Quinn’s loss is Montgomery County’s gain.  Congratulations Judge Dumais!
