Always there to help me, always there to answer all my questions and emails! Gave me reassurance and helped me maintain my sanity. To Michelle and her team at the Hopkins law firm, THANK YOU! If you’re looking for a tough lawyer that’s going to fight for your rights, look no further!

I used this firm for my Divorce which is started in August of 2020. I was scared and had no idea where to begin and they helped me every step of the way. While getting divorced was sad and very emotional, Michelle and her whole team were incredibly responsive and answered all of my questions. They never judged me for my personal requests during the process. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone in the Northern Virginia area needing a lawyer.

I started working with the Hopkins Law Firm back in November 2019 when I needed a lawyer because I was, suddenly, dropped by the highly recommended one firm this area. I picked up the phone and asked: "Hey Google, give me a Lawyer in Gainesville, Virginia" And this is how it started;. Since then and now, when I am a free man, with all my family affairs resolved by this excellent law firm and loving again (I never thought and hoped that I will be happy again). They where near me all the time, face to face meetings, courts appearances (won all the time), phone, text and e-mail conversations. They promise me that I will rise again (like a Phoenix bird) from the ashes that I was burned down by the system and society and they were right; I am back, stronger and happier than ever. If you need a lawyer, a good one, call them, you will not regret it.

Absolutely the WORST law firm out there. Check reviews on Yelp as well!!! Almost all are negative. They will rip you off and not get the job done. Don’t waste your time

Services provided by The Hopkins Law firm was excellent. The staff explained the entire process and promptly responded to questions and/or required updates throughout the process. I strongly recommend retaining their legal services.

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.

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.

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.

This is a wonderful firm they are kind and know what there doing. They listen to everything and really try to understand you. They are prompt to returning phone calls and generally want the best for there client. I will definitely recommend this firm to all my family and friends!!!!

Ugh. Do not hire Donna Dougherty to handle your case. When you meet her, you'll find that she is, in my opinion, brash and abrasive and unquestionably condescending. Your first thought is "Perfect, that's how she's going to work tirelessly on my behalf." You'll be wrong. That's how she'll continue to treat you and good luck getting to effectively advocate on your behalf. In my specific experience, she will rather yell at you (as her client) than work with opposing counsel on an amicable resolution (as I've learned since severing ties with this firm). My initial consult was full of "we're going to do this" and "we'll file this" and all great salesmanship. I was excited...finally an attorney that really wants to do more than push papers and genuinely wants to help create an optimal outcome for my child. Boo. Within 2 days of writing that first big monster retainer check to Donna, before any additional documentation was provided, the tone rapidly degraded to (paraphrased) "well, I'm not sure" and "hopefully we'll prevail" type speak. Sadly, I fell for it all and have lost almost every financial resource in the process. Now Donna is going after what little is left. That's really all you need to know about the character of the character. To say I've had nothing but problems feels like a gross understatement. Donna ran up my legal tab at a rate that has offended attorneys I've consulted with since; and it takes a lot to offend another attorney. Ultimately, Donna lost my case. Anything can happen in a courtroom, but this was a worst case scenario in the face of what should have been, fairly objectively, a ruling 180 degrees in the opposite direction. Despite being the attorney I retained, Donna did not appear at the hearing to argue for attorney fees (sadly, the mostly expensive part of the entire matter) and sent an associate instead. That mistake was another $12000+ on top of the mostly unsubstantiated $20k+ billed for a very simple case (that she lost). Now Donna is suing me although I've yet to be provided any granular itemization of the billable work "provided." Always beware of lawyers that gleefully sue their clients; it's a litmus test as to where their priorities lie in terms of monetary greed vs client advocacy. And, to pour more salt in the wound, Donna is now demanding 24% interest and thousands more in legal fees for suing her own client (me in this case). Her reputation in the local family law community exists for very good reasons. I wish I had figured that out beforehand (back before the reorganization of the firm). FINAL WARNING: If you're dealing with a sensitive family law matter involving your young children and their private meetings with therapists, you may want to consider a law office that does not send confidential psychiatric documentation to the WRONG CLIENT! That's right. Donna's law office sent me an another client's very private and sensitive data regarding the child's meetings with a therapist. I've yet to ever be answered as to whether sensitive data from my case was sent to someone else. If you retain her, perhaps you can update me on my case if/when you receive the wrong confidential records too. Don't make the mistake of making what is likely the most stressful and emotionally wrenching process of your life that much worse by hiring an attorney that values your checking account significantly more than operating in the best interests of you and your child/children.

This law firm is a very thorough and competent. They are professional and always had my family's best interests in mind.

Amy Tobias has been this Dad's attorney through a pretty complicated divorce, with issues that have flared up repeatedly over 9+ years. She has represented and advised me while she was an associate, a sole practitioner, and now as a partner. This is one very intelligent lady and knowledgeable and competent family law attorney. Her advice is always sound and direct. She cuts through the fluff and tells me what I need to know and what she needs from me. When we've had actual contested hearings, the results have always been in my favor.

I have truly been blessed to find a law firm who is warm, supportive and caring for their clients, but killer Great White Sharks in the courtroom for divorce/custody. Amy Tobias and Claire Salitsky gave me my life back……..my son! I started off with a different law firm, which he was HORRIBLE!!!! I felt helpless and felt he did not put any effort into my case, just collecting my check. Before I came to Dougherty Tobias Iszard, Northern Virginia Law, I thought I could lose my son for no reason other than poor lawyer representation. That all changed when I went to Dougherty Tobias Iszard, Northern Virginia Law! I will say, these ladies are expensive, but I'm telling you they are WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for EVERYTHING Amy, Claire and Dawn!

Before I came to Dougherty Tobias Iszard, Northern Virginia Law, I thought I could lose my son for no reason other than poor lawyer representation. That all changed when I went to Dougherty Tobias Iszard, Northern Virginia Law! I will say, these ladies are expensive, but I'm telling you they are WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for EVERYTHING Amy, Claire and Dawn!

Great law firm! Michael Daugherty specifically helped us with an step-child adoption and made it very easy. From start to finish it only took about 2 1/2 months, including waiting for our court date. He responded quickly to any of my questions. We can’t thank Michael enough for his help and guidance! Highly recommend this office!

Don’t believe anything was done for me. If court appoints a mediator go with them, could have done better myself with them and paid less in child support and not paid a lawyer! Also wouldn’t have to wait 9 months until the trial date, and just to be disappointed after trail that nothing changed after the temp motion case. Also not be down over $1000 a month in child support. Lawyer says it’s okay you make a lot of money. Lesson learned hopefully you also don’t make mistake and go with a mediator if the court appoints it. I believe this is the worse that could have happened to me and it did. Even though I had a good case, kids were raised with me, and other parent had mental problems and lives less than 2 miles away. Couldn’t get 50/50 custody, could have gotten closer to 50/50 with mediator and not be down thousands. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Easiest divorce ever. But in all honesty this place was great. Might be a little bit more expensive than another firm (i wouldn't really know, i didn't shop around much) but the made everything extremely simple, and spoke to me in a respectful manner. Nothing was difficult to understand and all in really had to do was sign a few papers when the time came. My mother recommended them because they helped her about 20 years ago or so and they helped me as well. Really appreciate everyone here.

I highly recommend the Daugherty Law Firm and more specifically Kate Daughtery. When I first began my divorce I had no idea what to expect and immediately after our first consultation I felt relieved to be able to hire Kate as my counsel. She was very knowledgeable of what to expect, what to do and how certain decisions will impact myself. Throughout the entire divorce which lasted almost twelve months, due to the separation timeline, Kate was extremely helpful and diligent from start to finish. I always felt that I was confident with her and that I wasn’t being misled or misinformed. When the final stages of the divorce were being discussed, this was one of the hardest parts of the divorce because as a man the laws are rarely in our favor for these types of situations. Kate was honest and negotiated what I believe was the best possible scenario for myself given the circumstances. In closing, divorce is not cheap and a decision not to take lightly. Kate and the Daugherty Law Firm are worth every dollar and are the type of professionals you dream of when having to deal with such an important life event.

Kate Daugherty is by far one of the most amazing lawyers! Not only is she phenomenal in the way she handles opposing counsel and the courtroom, but she genuinely cares and supports her clients. Kate is an incredible human being who operates with integrity, honesty, and transparency. She is direct. She is blunt. She calmed my anxiety and supported me in a way I cannot thank her enough for. Everyone at the Daugherty Law Firm are amazing! Mr. Daugherty is delightful, supportive, and kind. I cannot say enough about them and I genuinely appreciate, love, and consider them part of my family! I cannot thank Kate enough for what she has done for me!!! You cannot go wrong with having the Daugherty Law Firm standing with you!!!

Amanda Kimble and Michelle Evan’s were great! I had to place my divorce case on hold and without hesitation and great appreciation Amanda picked up the case. She did an excellent job of choosing the best method to proceed and got the final decree quickly. I had roots with this firm and went back because of their professionalize and personal approach to challenging life changes and I was never disappointed. The divorce process was perfected and I can’t thank them enough. Not one call or email went unanswered - they explained everything! Excellent lawyer and excellent legal assistant with great customer service!

I was very hesitant of using a law firm and thought I would be able to do it myself ie name change for a minor but I’m glad I didn’t because Ms. Melannie Dino and Ms. Evans provided me with great professional service. The communication was excellent and my family greatly appreciated their service. Everything was completely virtually and exceptional. Thank you again. J Holden.

Melannie Dino represented me during my divorce and helped me navigate the process. I am the spouse of a former military member. Melannie was very knowledgable about the forms and steps that were needed in order for me to receive my military benefits. Melannie and her paralegal Michelle Evans kept me informed and responded quickly to every question and concern I had. They made me feel that they were holding my hand through this difficult time.I greatly appreciate their professional knowledge,compassion and support. I would recommend Melannie and Michelle without reservation.

Ms. Huchler (my lawyer), Ms. Wallace, Ms. Membreno and Ms. Arp were amazing to work with with throughout the entire process of my divorce! They were very responsive always returning my emails in a timely manner, answered all questions about any legal matter I had so well that a regular guy, like myself, could understand! And you always felt like they cared about helping you and defending you, I know they had several clients they were working with, but I always felt like I had their full attention. I hope that I never have to get divorced again but I would call these fine folks back up in a heartbeat if I ever make that mistake again! They say divorce is expensive cause its worth it, they have good rate and its so worth it, so you shouldn't pass up working with Jenny, Cara, Rossimer, and Taryn!

Through a long almost 2 year process due to Covid and non-responsive ex husband. Melannie and the group were always pushing forward and making sure I knew the process and moving my divorce forward. Melannie was extremely professional and made sure I was aware of everything they were doing promptly. It was a pleasure working with her through a very tough time. I appreciate all her help in getting my divorce closed before having to go to court.

Anna is absolutely the best divorce attorney who listens very carefully! She was about to go to the court but still answered my call and answered almost every questions I had. Love the responsiveness and absolute professional. Thank you Anna.

I am not sure how they made a difficult situation enjoyable, but they absolutely did. Anna Bristle and Courtney Reheiser are rock stars. They went way above and way beyond what I expected. They legitimately cared about me as a client. Always prompt, always on target, and extremely patient. I hope I never have to use them again, but enthusiastically leap at the opportunity to recommend them to anyone. True professionals with hearts of gold. I will forever be grateful. -Brian-

Incredibly professional and responsive. We had what I thought might be a legal situation which turned into an emergency for us at the eleventh hour. We had had no time to prepare. I frantically called the firm at the very end of the day to see whether we needed an attorney (a call I should have made days earlier.) The very patient woman who answered my call spent a good amount of time taking down all the details of the situation including my "burning" questions and promised to call me back the next day. Not only did she call me back, but she again took the time to convey to me the information I was so desperately looking for. Turns out it wasn't a legal matter, so it wasn't like I was going to become a client, yet she still was incredibly helpful. Her responsiveness and kindness were such a blessing to me. I would highly recommend this firm!

Anna and Courtney were super helpful during a super stressful time. They were very responsive and professional and always answered my questions. I would definitely recommend these two if you are in the Prince William County area!

Shirley has been on top of EVERYTHING! She is a great listener and responds quickly to all my emails and messages. Definitely has gone above my expectations. I have also worked with Matt for a different case and he has also been great.

Mrs. J Brown is awesome. She went above and beyond. I would recommend her!

“QUALITY is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.” By: William A. Foster| Ms. Croft is absolute quality and the best in the business. Her knowledge and expertise in all aspects of family law blew me away. Her approach is second to none, strategic, direct, and results driven. Cathy is a great legal asset to have in your corner when it comes to a family law issue. I retained her services for support during mediation and then for my divorce. Cathy and her team in the front office were amazing and very supportive throughout the entire process. Any time I had a question on how to handle a situation; Cathy was able to guide me to the appropriate answer/response. She was able to explain the potential consequences of my potential actions/reactions and provide me with comfort and understanding throughout the entire process. It was tough to go through a divorce, tons of questions and personal uncertainty of what the future was to bring, but Cathy was always there to pick me up, provide insight based on years of experience, encouragement, and help me through to the end. Costs/rates were up front and very detailed on the contract agreement that is signed up front. I was also provided monthly bills with the fees broken down, so I knew exactly what I was being billed for. Cathy is the consummate professional and I have recommended her services to friends in need and will continue to do so in the future. You want her in your corner!!!!

Jeanne Brown represented my husband. She went in and got the best outcome he would have received. She did her thing . I'd definitely hire her for future legal issues if needed . Thank you Jeanne

Andrea Morisi is fantastic!!

Cathy Croft is a knowledgeable and trustworthy lawyer and very kind hearted person I have never met in this business. After a couple of meetings she sorted out what we needed and gave us the right advice to proceed our case. Cathy puts the client’s interest first, listening and working for the best solution. I am very grateful for her excellent job and definitely recommend her for anyone seeking for an excellent, caring and honest family lawyer.

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.

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.
