Mr. Ives is very personable and professional. Highly recommend him as we won the case we were working on. It's always good to work with a lawyer that wins!!!! Scott is so good that I had him represent me on a second issue.

Scott took me on as a client for what was supposed to be a very simple non-contested divorce. Unknown to him or me, my Ex saw it differently, and dragged us through a 2 year nightmare. But, Scott stayed by my side and guided me through each step and got me to the finish line. I truly enjoyed working with him, and have hired him to perform other legal tasks as well. I would highly recommend hiring Scott Ives to be your Lawyer!

Mr.Ives was very professional and throughly explained not only the process but what everything meant. English is not my first language and he was very patient and worked very well with me. His prices are reasonable and I am very thankful for everything and his help on my case. Because of him, we won the case.

I reached out to Mr. Scott Ives for a legal issue. I found him quite focused and knowledgeable. He did explain the process and the outcomes for my case. My legal issue took a bit long, but in the entire period of the case he worked tirelessly and in a professional manner. I sincerely appreciate his hard work, and I highly recommend him for any legal issue.

Our attorney, Scott Ives, was outstanding. He represented me and my husband in a very professional and efficient way. He is an expert in his field and we would highly recommend him to anyone. He works tirelessly, promptly and quickly to resolve our case. We can't thank him enough for his care, work and time. Siria, his paralegal, was great as well. When we called her, she promptly addressed our questions. Thanks Scott! Sharon and Stephen

Jason in particular, and the entire Graham team are awesome. Mindful of time, money and the best interest of their clients. The superior technical skills and knowledge that Jason and the Graham team have is matched by the soft/people skills making for a perfect mix and unprecedented customer service.

Best move I made finding Graham law firm.I can not recommend Jason Knoster enough. Jason is a professional and was always there to listen and get back to me in a timely manner.It’s not easy going through a divorce but Jason made it smooth all the way to the end.I found a expert Lawyer that I can count on for years to come. Thanks Steve

Divorce can be a very intimidating process. But Cheryl’s approach was professional, welcoming, and put me at ease. She gave me excellent guidance as to how I should proceed with separation and divorce. Her sound legal advice and timely meetings kept the process running on schedule, despite the Covid lockdown. I am extremely grateful for the way she advocated for me throughout the divorce process. Ms. Denet Adam and the rest of her staff were also very professional and responsive. I would highly recommend Graham Law Firm for your legal needs.

I've been working with an attorney and they are wonderful. They keep in touch and tell me the exact steps I need to take and things I need to do.

Jason was a pleasure to work with, knowledgeable, skilled, and able to get the job done- HIGHLY recommend! Having to consult with a lawyer for a sensitive matter isn't typically an experience to look forward to but Jason made the process smooth and has certainly earned my trust and respect each step of the way. Jason's ability to navigate the court system proved invaluable in dealing with my particular case for seeking annulment and he was able to secure the outcome I was looking for while respecting my budget and patiently helping me understand how to best proceed. I am so thankful to have had his expertise fighting on my behalf and if you're looking for someone who sets the bar in this field look no further.

Livesay & Myers has been outstanding serving our family's needs during three legal proceedings. They have been compassionate, communicative, and most importantly, fierce advocates for our families needs. Amanda and Dani have really been able to help us effectively find solutions to our family legal issues.

Nearly four years after my divorce, I found myself experiencing one of the most brutal silent killers of families, parental alienation with my children. At first, I didn't even know how we got here, but thankfully, Amanda Stone Swart was there every step of the way to help my children out of this situation. This was not one of those legal matters that could be resolved or negotiated overnight. Amanda, her paralegal Danielle Humiston, Ms. Tracy, and her entire team took the necessary time to listen, dedication, patience, compassion and became fearless advocates for my children's wellbeing and mental health. Amanda was committed to fighting for my children's rights and ensuring that the process was fair from the very beginning. Additionally, Amanda's wealth of expertise and professional experience was like the calm within the storm that I never thought I'd be able to leave. Thanks to Amanda, my children now have a fresh new beginning, and they are finally happy once again.

It was my second time in about 2 years working with the attorneys at Livesay & Myers. This time, I worked with Jon McHugh and Dani Humiston (paralegal). Both were friendly, yet professional, people to work with. Stayed on top of things in a timely and efficient manner. Everything was resolved in shorter-than-expected time. I felt I was being taken care of and properly advised every step of the way. Although I pray I don’t need Custody/Visitation services again, if I ever do, I will call Livesay & Myers a third time! Ruben Devia

I retained Ms. Ariel Baniowski to resolve a legal matter. Her, and her assistant Ms. Margaret Stanley, were professional, courteous, and very responsive. I once sent an email late at night and much to my surprise received a response within minutes from Ariel. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking legal representation. I found the price to he compatible and fair. Thank you ladies for such amazing service!

Thank you to Amanda Stone Swart, her paralegal Danielle Humistan and all the staff at Livesay Myers for their legal guidance, support and compassion as I went through the process of divorce, particularly in the middle of the Covid pandemic. Everything was taken care off in a timely and efficient manner with strong attention to detail. Amanda is extremely knowledgeable and made me feel confident that she was always working in my best interest and that of my children. I was so grateful that she was willing to work to make sure that we were protected legal through the process of divorce while still honoring my desire to avoid court if at all possible within the constraints presented by other parties. Having two children as part of this process I felt that she really considered their needs and what was best for their emotional well being through this process as well.

Laurel brigade law group was fantastic all the way through my case I was involved in. Eric Demetriades handled my case, he was professional, quick to respond to any of my concerns I had, and made me feel like my problem was his top concern. The pricing was fair and not having ever dealt with lawyers or anything like this before i was pleasantly surprised by the whole ordeal. If i am ever in need of a lawyer for any reason I will for sure be giving them my business again.

5 stars is not enough for Mr. Soldan. Having never been in the specific type of legal trouble that he specializes in, I was completely lost and worried. Luckily the personal reviews from his previous clients gave me confidence. Mr. Soldan responded with urgency and accuracy upon my initial request for consultation. Mine was a special case that extended past the usual 6 month period but resulted in the best outcome possible. In fact, because of his major network within the Loudoun County legal system, he was able to collaborate with the State in my favor. I'm beyond grateful for how Mr. Soldan helped and guided me. I'm confident he'll help you too.

Definitely the best in business to save you from long arduous legal processes. Thomas and his team do their upmost best to represent their clients in the most professional and talented way anyone could ask for. Definitely would hire AGAIN AND AGAIN. When In a situation that requires the professionalism and a team you can count on do yourself the favor and choose them.

Eric and the Laurel Brigade have won my loyalty for life!! I have had the pleasure of being a client of Eric Demetriades for five years. In that time he has represented me on three separate occasions: twice I have had felony charges dropped, and most importantly he helped in a case to gain custody of my son. Having experience with other legal councils in the past, Eric is by far the most professional, honest, and effective attorneys I have ever met or worked with. He gives realistic expectations but consistently outperforms. 10 stars!!

Quick response. Good results.

Kitty was a godsend for me during my divorce. She was wonderful, tactful, and empathetic during the entire process. She saved me from myself more than once, when I let my emotions get the best of me during the arduous legal process. Her guidance and strategy were always explained clearly to me, and she fought for me & always had my best interests in mind. I really appreciate her guidance and advice during this difficult process; I was lucky to be in her good hands. She was a calming voice of reason in a wild storm. She also kept defense in check and would not back down. I admire her integrity, empathy, and confidence - she’s one of the best attorneys I’ve ever had! The whole team at her office was awesome - I’ve already recommended them to friends and family. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me, Kitty! My life now is better and happier thanks to you! I am forever grateful.

I am a young, IT professional, residing in the Northern Virginia area who has been familiar with divorce, separation and family law for about 4 years now. This is due to a really bad divorce and child custody battle between my ex wife and I. I had two attorneys that I retained the first time around and although i got what i feel was decent representation, it did not come close to what Lindsay has done for me. It was like she took this case personally. Unlike previous lawyers, Lindsay did not wait until last minute to prepare for this case. From day one she took the time ti not only get familiar with the case, but she took time to get to know me as an individual. This was especially important because i was the main witness in my defense. She took advantage of my strengths and took into consideration my weaknesses. This was critical in preparing me to take the stand. One thing that really stood out to me and comforted me in this matter was receiving emails from her late in the evening. This let me know that my case was of the upmost priority for her as that is usually time I personally reserve for personal matters and I would NEVER let work interrupt that, not Lindsay. I could really spend days going over why I am SO satisfied with her services, but I will save everyone the time. I got exactly what I had been asking for, from this case. Lindsay was very likable to the judge and had great confidence and delivery. Honestly, I would have written this review EVEN if things did NOT go my way in trial. She deserves it! I am a single father who just simply wants a relationship with his daughter and that's what Lindsay Rebecca Hendrix gave me. Give her a shot! Let her hear you out! Feel free to reach out to me on here if you have any questions about my experience with her but I can say with confidence that after one simple conversation with her, you will know you are in good hands. Best of luck yall, with all of your trial matters. Indrit Greblleshi - Defendant in the Greblleshi matter.

I could not be more pleased with my divorce lawyers Grenadier and Abbate. Everything you'd want from your lawyer - professional, smart, understanding, attentive, highly competent.

I was stuck in a marriage that wasn't good for me or my son. I was referred to this firm by a friend, and I couldn't be happier with how my case has been handled. I met with one of the partners when I first came in, and my case was given to an attorney whose skills and style were perfectly suited for me, and for what I wanted out of the case. It's been almost four years since I first came in to the office, and my situation has improved dramatically. I am no longer in that marriage, but with the help of the firm and my attorney, I've managed to rebuild a life and to establish a working, fruitful co-parenting relationship with my ex-wife. I could not have done it without legal assistance, but the help I received has gone far beyond that; through all of the drama and arguing, my attorney has kept me focused on what is the most important thing in my life, which is the wellbeing of my son.

Carrie Patterson and Elizabeth Bookwalter have provided personalized, caring, and skilled divorce mediation support and services for me. My divorce has been through the court system in three states for almost two years, and Carrie and Elizabeth have been able to bring this terrible experience to a satisfying conclusion through their expert mediation. I am grateful that one of my former attorneys recommended them to me; and I would wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend them to anyone going through an acrimonious and difficult divorce. Carrie and Elizabeth are both talented and extremely hard-working lawyers who put their hearts into assisting me, and I can't thank them enough for helping me get this experience behind me while feeling very happy and positive with the outcome.

“Divorce is a very challenging process for all involved, especially if there are children and property involved. You need a legal firm that will help you understand all of the contingencies and richly understands your legal options with experience that comes from dealing with thousands of cases in front of hundreds of judges. They also need to help you ensure that all of your ducks are in a row so that you are prepared for the best, most optimal approach with the right responses as necessary. Nova Family Law has the vast experience and the expertise to help you navigate these treacherous waters to ensure a positive outcome for you, your children and your business.”

Brian Hirsch is a highly experienced family attorney. Not inexpensive, but worth every dollar.

Nicole Burns came recommended to me by the attorney I had (and trusted). When my attorney decided to leave law to raise a family, she told me that Nicole was a lot like her -- she takes the high road and doesn't get into dirty fighting with other attorneys. Exactly right. Nicole is a class act and works hard for you. She's a tough negotiator. And she really listened and fought for me and my child. This was a custodial agreement that needed to be modified and she worked hard to do what was best for my child. Best of all, she brought perspective and kept me on track. Her paralegal was also super helpful -- she did more to help me with the interrogatories and discovery than I had experienced with other law offices. I highly recommend Nicole and her team.

Homophobes!! I wish I had another set of hands so I could give them four thumbs down. They Took thousands of dollars for me. They did nothing but procrastinate. Contracts shouldn’t have taken more than a week. It took them nearly 10 months to do very little but edit my spouses lawyers work And fired me without so much as a phone call and then alerted my wife’s counsel immediately and left me in a very vulnerable position. They worked against me in the end! Ignored all communication from me. I wound up having to sign the original contract my wife’s counsel had drawn up over 10 months ago. I am infuriated to think how much money I spent and they essentially did nothing for me except take my money They did not care to hear my side of the story - that my wife had an affair with a man in her group therapy. They did nothing for me but tell me to wait and in the meantime they did very little work but we’re happy to take my money. If you are looking for a law firm that does very little work and treats you like a number, look no further - you have found the lawyer for you! That last response shows how gutless they are. They were against me from the beginning due to my sexual orientation. They are a bunch of homophobes. Do not trust these people. They just want your money.

It's not easy to choose an attorney and some things you don't find out until you've already paid the retainer. I'm leaving this review in the hopes it will help you make a decision. I found Nicole through the luck of the draw years ago. Nicole Burns has represented my husband and I for over three years on a high conflict post-divorce custody issue and it was a great decision. We'd had an attorney from a big name firm in the area to start with ten years ago. We thought big names meant better services because we had never hired an attorney before. While his hourly rate was lower since he was new, he ultimately cost us more by giving us incorrect tax advice and making an agreement that the IRS would not honor as well as telling us to give the other party whatever they wanted because she was "crazy" and would bankrupt us. Fast forward 10 months to the next conflict and finding Nicole Burns. First off, Nicole is a quality person. She takes the high road but won't be pushed around. She doesn't shy from conflict but tries to work things out first. She has integrity and you can't buy that. It comes from inside. She will tell you what your most likely outcome in court is but you should know that it ultimately is up to the judge and you don't always get what you want. In family law, nobody gets what they want all the time. Be prepared for that. Nicole has deftly handled everything that came up over the years. That includes working with another party that doesn't keep attorneys and rotates between representing herself and hiring new attorneys for a few months before firing them. Nicole was essential when Virginia DYFS was involved and working with them. She has helped us through getting protective orders to protect the abused child and working with the district attorney's office regarding the same. She is compassionate and cares about what she does. And she knows her stuff. Our post-divorce case involved abuse, DYFS, criminal charges, emergency motions, support modifications and garnishments, medical issues, a special needs child who could not speak for himself and working across state lines. When our funding for litigation ran low, she kept costs down and advised us on the best course. When it needed to be done, she told us so we could plan accordingly. The last thing you need to know which you probably don't know is that you want an attorney who is known in the court system. Your attorney's reputation means alot if you have to go to court. Nicole has worked in the courts and has a great reputation among those in the profession. On top of that, she's a parent and knows the work of doing the best for your child. Hire her now. I know I will when I need her again in two years.

My experience with Elizabeth M. Bookwalter as my family lawyer from ShounBach was an absolutely great experience. She was always very attentive to all the details and compassionate with the right level of empathy at the very right moments. She also has great command skills and provided excellent guidance at key moments on my journey with her as my lawyer. I found the personalized experience I received backed with her great expertise was one that I am very thankful to have discovered. I would highly recommend anyone looking for similar support to leverage Elizabeth as their lawyer... I couldn't be any more pleased with this choice of having her as my family lawyer.

I give my highest recommendation and appreciation to attorney Sarah Knapp, and the entire Shounbach team. Sarah’s unwavering professionalism, tenacity, and counseling during my divorce was indispensable. I do not wish divorce on anyone, but if you are forced with it, Sarah and her team are the right ones to call.

Carrie Patterson has been my attorney for almost 2 years. She has been a great resource for me especially during the pandemic maneuvering through all the court closures, remote hearings, etc. I highly recommend Carrie and ShounBach.

I can't say enough incredible things about Sarah Knapp at ShounBach. When so much is at stake, there's no greater comfort than knowing you are in amazing legal hands. Sarah has a clear and fair knowledge of the law and I knew every step of the way that she was anticipating, preparing, and had the experience to know what to do. Moreover, she is a good human being that cared about me and my daughter. This was a personal fight and I felt like she took it personally right along with me. She took the time to get to know us and believed in our family. Facts, figures, dates...she knew our unique situation like the back of her hand. Sarah came up with creative solutions and arguments I had never even considered and it gave me incredible confidence in her as my advocate. She was strong when we couldn't be - it was a huge comfort to us to have that level of protection. Sarah fought every step of the way for what was right and we are forever grateful!

Molly Garrett and her team are amazing! Molly helped me navigate a two and a half year divorce after an almost 26 year marriage and I couldn't be happier with the result. Our trial may have been delayed due to COVID, but Molly and her team never stopped working and we reached a settlement a week before trial. I am happy with the custody agreement, the property agreement and the support agreement. Molly and her staff were worth every penny (and my ex paid most of those pennies!)

My wife and I recently used The Geller Law Group for assistance as we prepared our Trusts, Wills, Powers of Attorney, and property forms. They made, what was for us a complicated process, understandable and easy to deal with. Their patience with us was notable, as was their quick response time when we had questions. We could not have asked for this to be handled more professionally. It is always a pleasure to work with people who know what they are doing, something that’s not always a given in today’s world. Thanks again, and keep up the (very) good work. Max

I used the Geller group for my will and estate planning. It’s not a pleasant thing to think about but they made the entire process easy and very pleasant. Everyone was excellent to work with. Kenisha was so responsive and very helpful. I will use them again for any family law issues that may arise. You won’t regret your decision to go with this firm.

The whole process was easy and quick! Felt like we got everything we needed.

I worked with the Geller Law Group on a family law matter, and cannot recommend them more highly. Everyone I interacted with was professional and responsive, and the value of the service received is top notch. In particular, Maria Simon navigated a difficult and often emotional divorce for me with a skillful knowledge of the law, guiding me through every question and concern with kindness, while strongly advocating for the best outcome for me and my family.

I don't think anyone wants to look their own mortality in the eye. This is why we have procrastinated getting our affairs in order. The Geller Law group made this an easy process for us by walking us through the process. They were very responsive, thorough, and generous with their time. We have peace of mind now that things are squared away. Had I known it would've been this easy, I would've done it much sooner. You guys are awesome.

Great team to work with. Had a family matter that required legal representation and after speaking with two or three other firms, I selected Chris Malinowski and his team. During the first interview, he was one of the only lawyers that provided concrete and practical advice on my situation and proposed next steps to move the issue forward. From starting working with his firm to the end, I could not have been happier with the level of service and support provided throughout the process. Kept me in the loop with opposing counsel correspondence throughout, responsive team whenever I had a question or follow up needed, and conducted business in an efficient and cost effective manner. I will be using Malinowski Hubbard for any of my representation needs on family issues in the future. Highly recommended!

I whole-heartedly recommend Malinowski Hubbard, PLLC for divorce and custody in Virginia. I was fortunate to have such highly professional, sharp and realistic attorney as Christopher Malinowski. He is outstanding in court, firm in talking to opposing counsel, and attentive in day-to-day issues that undoubtedly come up in high-contentious divorce. He is the best family attorney in Virginia, and Jennifer Gregg on his team is a rising star in family law practice. I faced challenging times, and their no-nonsense guidance, experience and wisdom were my beacon of hope.

Melanie Hubbard and her colleagues are spectacular. They're very sharp and thoroughly professional, while also exemplifying the thoughtful care and personal attention it takes to be so good at family law. They never miss a beat and they're a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended. Definitely don't hesitate to reach out to this firm.

I retained Christopher Malinowski to represent me in a contested divorce upon a recommendation from a friend who also used Mr. Malinowski in a divorce situation similar to mine. By that point, I had worked with two other lawyers but was not satisfied with the progress on my case. Meanwhile, my spouse retained a very expensive and aggressive lawyer who advocated vigorously on his behalf from the beginning. I could tell the difference between my other two lawyers and Mr. Malinowski after my first meeting with Mr. Malinowski. Unlike with my other two lawyers, I did not have to convince Mr. Malinowski to advocate on my behalf. After hearing the details of my case during our first meeting, I could tell that Mr. Malinowski was sympathetic to my circumstances, was ready to advocate on my behalf, and knew what he was doing. I knew I was in good hands and felt that I finally had a lawyer who could think strategy and was not intimidated by the opposing council. Thanks to Mr. Malinowski’s skills and guidance, we were able to avoid litigation while securing a favorable separation agreement. Mr. Malinowski always listened to my wants and needs while providing a voice of reason and logic when needed. He was flexible and always honored my preferences. He was available via email late at night and on the weekends and responded to my questions and concerns in a timely manner. He was always courteous yet firm with the opposing council – an important skill a lawyer must have. He has a fantastic team who do a great job supporting clients. I would highly recommend Mr. Malinowski to anyone who needs a serious, experienced, and no-nonsense professional to advocate on their behalf.

Working with this firm was a pleasure. First, they respond quickly and always kept me informed, it is very helpful in an already stressful situation. Chris was very professional and always gave me the best advice to bring to a solution... he listened to what I was saying and answered all my questions, he is very knowledgeable and direct. I am not one who needs hand holding, I came to Chris for his professional qualities and I couldn't be happier. One of the things I appreciated most is that Chris doesn't promote conflict or let it linger, he has a pro active approach to resolving issues. I am grateful for my experience with this firm and I only wish I hired them sooner.

Ms. Lisa was exceptionally easy to work with. She was super helpful throughout the entire process. During the process, she proved herself so knowledge, professional, and outstanding attorney. I would highly recommend Ms. Lisa!

Lisa is wonderful! Very responsive, professional and a great hand-holder through a tough time. Highly recommend her.

I put in an inquiry for help with my divorce that was taking way too long to be handled and Lisa reached out in a matter of hours. From that time on, she kept me updated on everything. The flat fee price I paid was shocking (in a good way). It was really easy, I almost had to do nothing! The timeline was right what she quoted and I couldn’t be happier. She helped me close a HUGE chapter of my life. Thank you again for everything, Lisa!

Very impressed! She was very knowledgeable and helpful through the entire process. Overall great experience!

I needed legal assistance to have two QDRO's processed after my divorce. I did a random search and found Lisa. Sometimes you just get lucky. She was responsive and professional throughout the process. Highly recommended.

    I needed legal assistance to have two QDRO's processed after my divorce. I did a random search and found Lisa. Sometimes you just get lucky. She was responsive and professional throughout the process. Highly recommended.
