Going through a divorce is one of the toughest, life altering experiences anyone can face. With the unique complications I was facing, I needed an attorney who had the experience, temperament, strategic thinking skills, who also genuinely cared about the well-being of their client, to represent me. Steve was referred to me and at every turn, he either met or exceeded my expectations. He made sure that every contact had a purpose and worked to cut legal costs throughout the process. If something was an email matter, then it was resolved over email. If it required a conversation, it was up to me to decide, and when I opted for a conversation, with Steve or the team, it was efficient and provided the clarity I needed at the time. There are no winners in a divorce. But I believe you can achieve fairness, and an amicable split, which leads to a resolution that brings about a sense of closure. What could have been a nightmare of process in the hands of the wrong attorney, was a relatively easy and amicable process that avoided litigation, because of Steven Goldman, Jenna Hayba and paralegal Julia Nelson. I am deeply grateful to them for the peace I am now experiencing post-marriage. I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend family law attorneys Steven Goldman & Jenna Hayba.

Steven Goldman was so professional and personable I highly recommend him to anyone. He did an amazing job hearing my issues and converting them into solutions we could achieve.

Carl Schoenherr was my attorney for my custody, visitation and divorce. He is a hard worker and very dedicated. He did an excellent job throughout the entire process. He is very knowledgeable, professional and kind. He always explained everything in a way that I understood. He has always been quick to answer my emails and he is very prompt. He did an exceptional job at trial! Myself and my family were highly impressed. He was very attentive and on point the entire time. He was able to adjust and adapt to anything that came his way or anything that changed. His closing argument was exceptional! I am happy with the outcome and I'm so thankful I had Carl Schoenherr for my representation. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs representation. He is excellent!

Mr. Steve Goldman is an exceptional lawyer. I would hands down recommend Mr. Goldman. He handled my case and represented me in a most professional manner. Every step of the way Mr. Goldman explained all issues at hand and provided a recommendation that would best suit not only myself but my child. I always followed his recommendation which always culminated in a successful outcome. His extensive knowledge of law, wealth of experience on child custody matters, and his ability to strategize each scenario of the case always meant Mr. Goldman was several steps ahead of the opposing lawyer. Furthermore, Mr. Goldman was able to settle out of court with all of our demands agreed upon and then some! Not only did this save money but it saved the additional stress and emotional toll court would have brought. This was a testament to his legal prowess. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. If you want someone on your side representing you Mr. Steve Goldman is who you need.

Steven Goldman is an excellent Attorney who truly serves in the best interest of his clients. He is extremely well mannered and transparent in his performance of providing excellent legal representation. Steven represented me in a lengthy custody case that was very complex to say the least. He was straightforward on what my focus needed to be, the steps I had to take and the considerations that needed to be weighed in order to ensure an optimal outcome of the case. I took his advisement and applied it accordingly which resulted in a favorable end result. I recommend anyone who is looking for a hardworking, poised, experienced, effective and most importantly "play no games" Attorney to consider Steven Goldman. If he was able to make a difference in my situation then he can definitely do the same in yours.

It was great working with Jamel, Brenda, and the rest of the team at Livesay & Myers, P.C. They were responsive and thorough. Jamel answered my questions throughout the process. Brenda also communicated very well. I'm very happy with the outcome of my case!

Jamel Rowe was my attorney for a support agreement and divorce. Her counsel and legal opinions were outstanding. She was responsive, professional. And most importantly genuine. I have no doubt that the settlement and divorce would have been more painful emtionally and financially had it not been for her unmatched skill and compassion. I cannot rate Livesay & Myers high enough to express my complete satisfaction. I hope no one has to go through similar circumstances but if you do you need competent, professional representation. Finally, I want to mention their fees. They are comparable to other law firms of high quality but made every effort to not charge me for every contact. I was not treated as just an income stream. Thank you Livesay and Myers!

Andy Tank recently represented me in a Divorce/Child Custody case. I honestly can’t imagine having to have gone through the ordeal without Andy. He is incredibly knowledgeable, honest, and did everything in his power to provide a great outcome for me. Beyond that he is compassionate and understanding. His Paralegal Karen Kessel is outstanding. Her attention to detail and professionalism were instrumental in insuring I had a fair resolution to my case. You can’t do better than Andy and Karen!

Emily Neuhausen represented my in my divorce and TSP adjudication. Emily as well as her paralegal Rossimar Membrano, are a great team to work with. They were thorough and attentive to detail. They found silly mistakes from the other party’s attorney that delayed the ultimate outcome from the other side. They responded to questions and filings extremely quickly. They are friendly and courteous and helped me understand each step. I’m happy to say I could not have asked for better representation.

I cannot praise Livesay and Myers, P.C. enough. I engaged the firm to handle my separation and divorce. (This was after parting ways with another law firm because I did not feel satisfied with their service.) Jamel Rowe, Esq. and Brenda Moreno, Paralegel, both of whom I worked with for several months, are the consummate professionals. Drafts of documents and filings were flawless. Communication was always not only timely, but also very pleasant, even in tense situations with tight timeframes. I could tell that Ms. Rowe put a major effort into reviewing a mountain of case data because she had immediate recall of specific facts and their relevance. Most impressive was Ms. Rowe's handling of the case during the trial: she had command of the facts and used them effectively; she presented a clear case, emphasizing precisely what I had suggested; and the judge openly praised her "accurate and appropriate" use of the property distribution forms. My recommendation: definitely talk to them about your needs.

An excellent experience! Quality legal service. Good communication that was always both friendly and professional. Reasonable pricing too.

I can't thank or speak highly enough of Ms. Claudia, Mr. Carlos and her staff at Hawk Law. Before coming to Claudia, I had worked with 2 other attorneys who never seemed to quite understand my situation enough to make headway, let alone bring an agreeable conclusion. Ms. Claudia was able to very quickly understand what we were dealing with, she and her team were always responsive and patient with my questions and concerns, and I am so grateful for how my situation has been resolved. I will continue to enthusiastically recommend Claudia and her firm to anyone looking for a professional, capable, kind, yet firm lawyer who truly cares about her clients.

Claudia and her team are excellent, empathetic, and diligent in their work! I’m very appreciative and grateful to have found her.

My ex-wife and I used Hawk Family Law for a fully uncontested divorce with drafting of MSA. I couldn't recommend their services more as their prices are very reasonable and Carlos/Claudia were amazing guiding us through the divorce process.

We are extremely grateful to have found Hawk law firm! From beginning to end, we were treated fairly, and were kept informed of our case every step of the way. Thanks to Hawk law we were able to achieve our goals in court, and receive not only justice but the overall outcome of our trial was truly in the best interest of our children! The pricing was fair, and reasonable for such excellent service. We will definitely be recommending Haw Law to all of our friends and family! An enormous thank you again to Ms. Claudia and Mr. Carlos for all their hard work and dedication to our case! God bless.

I was googling the area and found this place through a referral and they are amazing here. I spoke to Director of Operations, Mike, briefly about my separation and what the process is that is to follow and he answered a lot of my questions. Mike saved all my questions down, which was a lot, and he called me later at night past 7pm to see if I can schedule a time to talk to their attorney, Joe Pietro, and I was thrilled! I had a chance to consult with Joe the day after and again, another great person to talk to! He took his time, very understanding and made me feel secure and confident, and gave me sound advice! Overall, I felt really confident with the team here and I felt empowered with the information they’ve given me. I would highly recommend this team here!

As is often the case with those going through a divorce, this was perhaps the worst time in my life. John and Sakeena helped me so much with their extreme patience and kindness as I asked a ridiculous number of questions. I always had the impression that "they had my back" and that I was part of a team. Let me close by saying that not only were they compassionate, but also extremely competent and professional in handling my many inquiries. I could not give DiPietro Law Group a higher recommendation,

Navigating my divorce was challenging experience to say the least but i was supported and guided every step by my lawyer Camellia and staff. Camellia managed to get both parties to a settlement in less than six month in my complex situation. Her main focus was always the best interest of my children and that I was also taken care of in a fair way. Camellia was always responsive and timely in answering my questions and concern. I would recommend her and her law firm to anyone who want a highly qualified attorney, who will watch out for your interests and those of your children, who can be tough when necessary, who has knowledge and understanding of law.

Top Class! Very responsive, professional and affordable! Would recommend to anyone and if ever I need representation again, I know who I'm calling!

My experience with John P. Lavinus IV was painless. He provided great service, kept me up-to-date every step, and always answered my questions.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
