Terrible law firm worst in Chesapeake. I wouldn’t use them at all. Debt collectors for slum owners associations.

27 Apr, 2023 by Ex

The lawyers of this lawfirm argued this is court "the “unfortunate reality” that teaching in the United States — even for first grade teachers like Zwerner — isn’t without its dangers". At no point should any person considering becoming a teach expect that their future school administrators will brush off an identifiable threat rather than take action. It's a shame that this law firm thinks that teachers should just expect to be shot with a gun by their students. Diane Toscano, Jeffrey Breit, Kevin Biniazan and the school district they represent are morally bankrupt. I will never use them again, and I implore others to do the same.

Jill is an extremely capable attorney. She listened closely and thoughtfully to what I said. She explained the procedure in a straightforward and honest way. Her kindness is her greatest attribute. I would highly recommend her!

I hired Jill in her capacity as a divorce attorney on a recommendation from another attorney. Best decision I could have made! She was warm, compassionate and caring. Her fund of knowledge and expertise in her field were evident immediately. She was always punctual and always returned communications in a timely fashion. Her legal advice combined with her kind personality and passion for her work make her an excellent choice for anyone seeking a divorce attorney. I highly recommend her without hesitation.

Jill is a compassionate and knowledgeable lawyer. Hiring Jill to handle my divorce and custody case was a great decision. Throughout the ups and downs, she kept me grounded and focused on what was best for my child and I and how I could build a healthy future. I interviewed several other lawyers before selecting Jill and her decades of experience along with calm demeanor set her above the rest.

Not professional at all he has the audacity to come into somebody’s house disrespects them slam peoples doors break their stuff and then threaten to have you arrested because he thinks he’s a know it all about everything and tries to tell people about their own personal life as if he know them or has been there before and he doesn’t and then gets mad when you tell him he’s wrong and show him the proof that he’s wrong that’s what he decides he wants to threaten people and think that he’s better than him just because he studies law I would not recommend him as a lawyer to anybody whatsoever

Mr. Emmai Ndukwe is awesome, I love his dedication and commitment. He made sure he knew the history as well as the extent of my case and I will forever be grateful for being assigned to him. The best Attorney I could have asked for..!!!

Mr. Ndukwe was appointed to my daughter by the courts regarding custody. Mr. Ndukwe as well as his intern Ms. Angel were very professional kind and patient with me while answering my many questions. His office was extremely thorough in the matter and provided great comfort. I will definitely utilize the services if needed in the future!

I hired John Bedi to handle my bankruptcy. It was a very emotional thing for me to do and John was compassionate and answered my questions. Some answers were somewhat vague but were answered by him and staff as the process went through. He was relaxed and portrayed assurance. He was available as I needed. I had a smooth timely meeting with Mr. Bedi and the trustee. The staff and Mr. Bedi were extremely patient with me and that helped me tremendously. I mostly worked with staff like Maggie. She is a super star receptionist who does I’m sure, a lot more! She kept me on task when I tended to give too many details. Amanda has been helpful and knowledgeable in answering questions for me. Carolyn Bedi is the super star! She is very professional, knowledgeable, thorough, caring and helpful with the many questions I had. She also was super helpful is giving me sources for use in creating a budget and saving money for a better future. Having the resources for a better future to me has made this whole process a better experience. I don’t want to make the same mistakes of the past so I look forward to the future. Overall I am pleased with the service I received.

I will say that the people in the office are very caring. I believe they do WANT to help people, but they are careless in how they handle the information. I actually filed chapter 7 three years ago due to my ex-husband abruptly walking out and leaving me with all of the debt. I went to John Bedi and he was very kind and offered great advice in the office, which I followed to a T. When things got to the courtroom, however, is where things fell apart. The 1st time, he didn't even have all of the documentation there for my case so the trustee scheduled me to come back. I started wondering at that time because the trustee seemed all too familiar with his shenanigans and I started picking up on the fact that she thought he was a joke of an attorney. I came back the second time only for him to not be prepared again. So we, and by we, I mean I came back a third time as he never even showed up. The trustee wanted me to come back again, but I said that I couldn't keep taking off of work or I would lose my job. Thankfully, the trustee had a heart and discharged my case a couple of weeks later. All seemed good until a few months later I noticed that my mortgage wasn't reporting on my credit. I filed a dispute and received a response that my mortgage was included in my Chapter 7. I argued that it had not and that I had requested it to be reaffirmed. I contacted my mortgage company only for an investigation to take place and received yet another response that the mortgage had indeed been included in my Chapter 7. I immediately contacted John Bedi's office to let him know of the error. I sent multiple emails and made many calls that were never returned. Here I had been making on time payments on my home thinking I was rebuilding my credit, only to find out that, once again, John Bedi had dropped the ball. The worst part was that he would never contact me back. I had some health issues at the time so, other than contacting the state bar, decided to let the matter go since I would eventually refinance or sell the home out of my ex-husband's name. The bottom line is I paid a lot of money only to have been discarded by someone who proclaims to be a Christian. I trusted him and that he would take care of my family and me and he did the opposite. I would never recommend him to anyone. There is very little confidence in the follow through or professionalism of John Bedi.

Mr BEDI & his staff, Heather & Maggie were a Godsend in my life! He is the absolute kindest man to deal with, especially at such a stressful time! He took time to speak to & see me whenever there was something I needed HIM for! As for Maggie & Heather - I can’t say enough about them! Kind, caring, understanding are just the tip of the iceberg! They were ALWAYS willing & able to speak with & reassure me! They actually sent me a most beautiful card to tell me that they were praying for me! If that isn’t “above & beyond”, what is? God bless John BEDI & his entire staff!

Anne Norloff is UNRESPONSIVE. Scheduled meetings were "forgotten" about. Phone calls, emails, and any other form of communication are not responded to. She will tell you one thing and the next time you see her it's another story and she completely forgot any and everything dealing with your case. She flip flops. She also does not look into and request or investigate anythIng. The laziest attorney I have ever met. No follow up, no communication, no courtesy, no memory, no integrity, no common sense.

02 May, 2013 by Paul

Ms Norloff provided excellent representation for me. It's hard enough being in court, but she supported and guided me throughout the process. Her consciencious approach made all the difference for me.

Wrote to several people and only got a response after two weeks. I responded immediately asking for a meeting - and no response to that. Quite rude, no?

03 Nov, 2014 by Michael

Ms. Morini was engaged by us to update a prior trust based on a recommendation we received from our former trust attorney and, independently, our financial advisor. Her knowledge of the evolution of elder law, estate planning, and the exigencies of trust crafting in an era of shifting tax laws and jurisdictional regulations is nothing short of superb. She is extraordinarily intelligent, professional, courteous, and "actively listens, hears, and understands" client needs--in our own case, impacting three generations of family. From a value perspective, Yahne's worth exceeds her billing rates/fees. From a trust perspective, it is difficult to quantify the credibility and comfort factor beyond saying that her integrity is unquestioned and greatly appreciated. Ms. Miorini's dynamism is evident in everything she does; which further translates into impressive results marked by "on time" performance, timely feedback and communications, and ultimately, complete confidence that we are in good hands and well-positioned for whatever legal matter eventuates in terms of our trusts.

Don't waste your money. I've gotten charged up the nose with no results. I would have liked to have been told that he couldn't do anything else if he knew he couldn't do. I feel completely let down, overcharged and not given good advise. A very sorry day for me. Do not hire this one if you have a fight on your hands. I'm devastated over what this lawyer has failed to do.

I have been working with Mr. Johnson for a couple of months now and would like to say that he is professional, courteous, efficient, knowledgeable and very competent. He keeps me informed and communication with him is very good. He is well versed in Probate Law and gives me peace of mind in dealing with the estate case I have hired him for. I look forward to a speedy end to the administration of my case and feel that I came to the right man for the job. Thank you Mr. Johnson.

Mrs Tassi encouraged a plan of my sig other to do the drug dorm and promised the sentence would be on the lighter side. Well it wasn't sentenced to a year and then she promised a reconsideration and guess what judge denied her motion. She is a Negative Nelly and did not hold up her end of the plan. AND NOW SHE JUST BASICALLY SAID OH WELL NOT MY PROBLEM. SO A YEAR WE WILL WAIT DRUG DORM COMPLETED BTW.

a while ago, The Manassas court attorney referral department referred me ( for a reasonable of $75.00 or so ) to contact attorney Scott J. Newton. My first meeting with Attorney Newton was great he was very informative on my options to my case that I had won judgement by the court . couple months later I decided to hire Mr. Scott J. Newton and use his services to follow-up and continue my small case. So I went ahead and called his Manassas office, a receptionist answered. I asked her if I could speak with attorney Newton regarding a previous consultation I had with the Attorney, she asked me multiple questions as if she was checking if my case was worth the attorney's time. then i was transferred to a different receptionist, I again asked if I could speak with attorney Newton, then i was transferred back to the first receptionist. I again asked if attorney Newton was available. Her responds was " "Mr. Newton Does recall speaking with you but you will have to schedule an appointment again with Mr. Newton. You will have to pay a fee of $250.00 for your visit again " Wow ! So my personal experience is that, Mr. Newton and his staff are all about their own benefit and not about helping. So I don't think its fair to pay this attorney 250.00 just to fully refresh his memory. I felt this was so unfair, Was it because my case was not as profitable for him ? maybe so..

Eric is everywhere (on TV, in print, etc), but what made our company so happy with him is his responsiveness and his willingness to try and find solutions to our problems. We used other attorneys before who took the easy route, but Eric is always striving to find creative resolutions and give our company options that we were able to use. We continue to use Eric on a regular basis.

I thought he had more government contracts experience than he has. He's been around a lot but its a couple of years of this and a few years of that. He charged a lot for what I later learned was a pretty easy answer for someone with experience, then when I complained about the bill he promised to discount it and never did.

My landlord was trying to impose rather harsh lease termination conditions on me during the Covid crisis, when I needed to leave the area, had no intention to extend my contract and was trying to find ways out of a complicated and stressful situation. Mr. Patish was very knowledgable about the requirements of the law, and presented the legal side of the issue in great detail, pointing to the appropriate sources and links. He walked me through this difficult situation with advice that was really instrumental for finding a solution acceptable to the landlord. He did this with minimal resources that I was able to allocate for legal advice, including providing complementary feedback, following up with the issue, and making sure that I was on the right track. He has really broken my stereotypes about lawyers with his human and fair-minded approach!

13 Jul, 2016 by Tim

Mr. Patish agreed to represent me in a landlord - tenant dispute. I was seeking damages for a failure to maintain a habitable premises. The facts and evidence were all in my favor and Mr. Patish agreed to represent me at a reasonable price. The property owner had been cited by city inspectors more than once and failed to fully comply with the citations in a timely manner. Within the first few minutes of the trial, the defendants counsel stated that if judgement was in my favor, they would appeal the case. The judge wished me good luck and said he had no choice but to send the matter to a higher court. Immediatley after the trial, Mr. Patish, my wife and I went to lunch, (on us of course) during which he explained that it would cost a minimum of $5,000. more for him to represent me in the next phase. His advice was to go to court without him. Seriously! He calmly explained that the judge would listen to the facts, that I did not need a lawyer since I was so familiar with the case, had audio recordings, video, photographs and violation notices that had been served on the property owner. Nothing went according to Mr. Patish's advice. The judge informed me that he had read the lease and asked me to present my case. The star whitness was one of the three city inspectors that had visited the property on numerous occasions and filed the code violations. This inspector testified that he could not remember the facts, didn't bring his paperwork to court and had lost the video evidence I had given to him. The judge, contrary to what Mr. Patish had advised me, would not let me offer any testimony. He would not listen to the audio recordings nor view the videos. There was no choice except to stop presenting evidence. At this point the defendant's attorney made a statement that there was no lease entered into evidence, (despite the judge having stated that he had the lease in his hands and had read it) therefore there was no obligation for the property owner to present his case. He asked for dismissal and that's exactly what happened. I couldn't even get my security deposit refunded even though the property was flawlessly spotless, freshly painted and in much better condition than when I took possession. This added insult to injury, costing me another $1,450.00! All of this is relevant to my review of this lawyer because he told me what I should do. He insisted that the judge would listen to the evidence. He accepted my money for the first trial, then abandoned the case. He left us with nothing but very bad worthless "advice". This was how two years of stress ended. Here is my advice for anyone looking for a lawyer in the Norfolk or Virginia Beach area. Pay whatever it costs to hire an attorney that won't abandon you while telling you that you can represent yourself. That is pure rubbish. The lesson I learned? Looking for a reasonably priced lawyer is comparable to shopping for a discount brain surgeon.

Mr. Donaldson always kept me informed about pending litigation. He is a very knowledgeable attorney who takes pride in making sure his clients are fairly represented in accordance to state law. Most of all Mr. Donaldson showed that he cared about me as a person. He continued to maintain contact after our business relationship concluded.

14 Aug, 2014 by Anonymous

Cost me a lot of money and time and extra pain. There is literally no compassion from this person concerning your injuries. I found it impossible to reach him, or to get a response from him. There would be weeks of emails and calls and no return call or email. Because I felt stuck and he was telling me I had to pay him so I needed to settle, I settled for nothing. I think he displays the conduct and behavior we all believe to be true for lawyers; being similar to used car salesmen.

They definitely show a clear sense of favoritism and underpay you. They had no clear reason to fire me less than a month being there and barely even trained me but expected me to learn everything. They have no clear structure or proper management there. Definitely do not recommend them

The vehicle never stopped and attract. The trailer had hit us a long story short my husband was in a coma. He was air VAC to Sentera hospital and off, and I was also hospitalized for three days.

This attorney is absolute garbage represents the trash of Virginia Beach that are rich and don't pay Their bills

No help here. Will give you up to the lowest bidder. How can you even sit through him shaking to finish listening to him lie and try to convince you he has your best interests? Don't waste your finger strength dialing this number. If it's anything against the court you've automatically lost with him. The only reason I believe they allow him to still practice is because of the cases he loses as a court-appointed. Which violates the guidelines of indigent counseling for Virginia and several rules of the American Bar Association. This man wrote the court and told the people I said I wasn't coming to the court. That was his attempt to have himself removed instead of filing motions that benefited my case. Section 19.2-163.01(A)(4). Model Rules of Professional Conduct.

Ashton is the finest most caring I’ve ever met. He is patient and kind and refuses to stop pressing until light exposes corruption. Moreover he is one of the finest human beings I’ve ever met. If anyone I knew ever knew needed an attorney I would refer Ashton over any other attorney available. I can’t speak highly enough of him and my family feels the same.

Steve handled my high-pressure, high-profile divorce from start to finish from 2013 to 2014, as well as lingering issues in 2015, with complete professionalism, control, and finesse. Steve always kept me informed, never let me feel intimidated, let me read everything, incorporated my edits, and handled numerous explosive legal situations that were repeatedly lobbed at me. Let me emphasize – this was not an easy divorce, nor was it at an ideal time in my life, as I had only recently returned to the workforce after staying at home with my children for many years. But Steve has seen it all, and has excellent instincts. He’s not intimidated by anyone on the other side, but does not have to resort to bombast in order to accomplish what you need. His demeanor is quiet, yet very thoughtful, and I found that he is extremely well-regarded by all judges we went before as well as among his fellow attorneys and mediators, which is critically important. Nothing about getting a divorce is easy – especially when there are kids involved and an unpredictable spouse who is taking a “scorched earth” approach toward your divorce. But when your life is falling apart, you HAVE to have someone on your side who can handle the legal chaos that can result. Steve did that for me and successfully negotiated what I needed for the future. I interviewed two other attorneys before hiring Steve – both in Fairfax City near the courthouse who had handled divorces for friends of mind. Both were very nice, but neither could have withstood the withering tactics of my ex and his attorney. Steve is NOT afraid to go to court for you – and so often, you have to go to court – and he is NOT afraid to deal with opposing counsel. Remember – with any attorney, you get what you pay for. I’ve seen this over and over with my divorced friends who hired other attorneys and who did NOT get the settlements or agreements that they needed. This is probably the worst time in your life; don’t make it harder on yourself by hiring someone who can’t handle your situation. I highly recommend Garver Law Offices, and have already recommended Steve to several people I know who unexpectedly found themselves in the same situation. Trust me, Steve knows what he is doing.

A number of years ago, I hired Mr. Garver to represent me in my divorce, which included the legal service of filing a document on my behalf, about two pages in length, with the Fairfax County Circuit Court. A few days afterwards, I phoned him and asked if he could please send me, for my own reference, a copy of this short document he had filed with the court for me. It was a document that could have been photocopied and faxed to me within a few minutes. Mr. Garver reacted with mocking sarcastic irritation to my request, stating "Is it critical?" as if he were speaking to someone utterly beneath him. He then informed me that he was too busy that day to fax me a copy of this document. At that point, he did not tell me when I might expect to receive it. Mr. Garver acknowledged that I had a right to receive a copy of this document from my case file. However, he would not give me a time frame for when I might expect him to fax it to me. I then asked him if he could confirm that he would be able to fax it to me the following day. But he would not confirm that either. Since Mr. Garver was apparently too busy to fax a copy of this document to me that day, and also would not provide some reasonable assurance that he would fax it to me the following day, I asked him by what day I could expect to receive it. Even then he still would not provide me with a firm date by which I could expect him to fax me a copy of this document. That is how our phone conversation ended with regard to a simple request to receive a copy of this short document from my file. I did not appreciate his evasiveness when I asked him for a simple estimate of how long it would take him to get around to faxing me a two-page document. I faxed Mr. Garver a letter soon afterwards, notifying him that I no longer wanted him as my attorney because of this behavior and requesting a refund of any unused portion of my retainer. It took him about one month to provide this refund, after I followed up with him about it. Shortly after I notified him that I no longer wanted him as my attorney, he did then manage to fax me a copy of that document.

I would not recommend Steven Garver, very disappointed. I hired him and then decided to go with another lawyer who is more specialized in criminal defense. It happened a week after I paid him, so he didn’t do anything yet. When I asked for my money back, Mr.Garver said he’ll refund some, not all of it. Couple weeks later he sent me a check for half of what I paid. Very unprofessional. Stay away

Perry charged $2500 retainer, never billed against, refuses to return it (which is the law). Yet he claims in his appeal to the courts about his gun charge that he describes himself as " VERY PRO-LAW ENFORCEMENT" (journalstar.com) yet tells me to hire an attorney to contact his Insurance about getting my retainer returned. Cannot understand why he does not enforce the law here and return my retainer?

16 Nov, 2020 by Anonymous

He filed counterclaim leading us (3) to think we had damages instead should have filed immediate dismissal which we asked him for as soon as we hired him but instead he gave plaintiff all of our personal information; ssn, bank accounts, did not block out any of that but plaintiffs attorney blocked out all of their information....if that is your strategy to sell out your clients because you are too busy fighting 2 lawsuits of your own....hope you do not do any other clients an injustice ....we asked for immediate dismissal and you not us wanted to file counterclaim and you ran up our bill. Why did you change my original review? Did not want others to see it?

I had Angie simpkins as my court appointed attorney and she had no contact with me about the case whatsoever until on the day of court at the last minute. She would not return my phone calls and I had to leave multiple messages. Plus I got charged with a bogus crime and still ended up pulling jail time over it and she did nothing to try to keep me from going to jail. I have a son in high school and my mom can pass away at any minute but she didn't care about that either!

25 Apr, 2022 by Desiree

Daughter had court, Angi was her Court appointed lawyer. WISHED I could have forked over the money for a good lawyer because Angi didn't discuss anything with my daughter UNTIL the DAY OF COURT. No communication, does not care and very unprofessional. I'd give this place zero stars if I could. I'm VERY unimpressed to say the least.

I had some legal issues and Ms. Simpkins handled them. I have never been so impressed by the way this was handled. I would definitely hire her again!
