The Daily Record is pleased to honor them.”
Ms. Kumarachandran has earned a number of distinctions throughout her career. She was recognized as a Maryland Rising Star in Family Law by Super Lawyers from 2017 to 2020. In 2017, she was named to the Top 40 Under 40 in Matrimonial and Family Law by the National Advocates, and in 2015 the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys named her to their list of 10 Best Attorneys for Client Satisfaction.
Ms. Kumarachandran is a member of the American Bar Association Family Law Section and the Maryalnd State Bar Association. She earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Baltimore.
The top winner of this year’s Leadership in Law Awards will be announced at the celebration event May 21 at the BWI Hilton. The honoree will be determined by a vote of this year’s Leadership in Law winners.
In addition, The Daily Record ‘s Leadership in Law Awards include honors recognizing up-and-coming legal professionals through Generation J.D. and legal professionals with exemplary careers through the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Nominees were asked to complete an application that outlined their career accomplishments, community involvement and mentoring activities that would distinguish them as outstanding leaders in the law.
