When we needed to learn how to manage our sister's anticipated inheritance, it didn't take long to settle on the Farr Law Firm for advice. Their reputation as the experts in elder law and estate planning preceded them. After a thorough review of our situation, they revised my mother's revocable living trust and prepared a Special Needs Trust for my sister. There was some urgency as my mother was nearing 100 years of age. Thanks to their knowledge and depth of experience they were able to complete the work in a matter of days. Trusts are complicated and in the course of administering them, I've had numerous questions for Mr. Farr or a member of his staff. Without fail, responses are clear, comprehensive and delivered without delay. Working with Farr, I know I can count on things being done correctly and to our best advantage - and that adds up to great peace of mind.

Originally we chose Evan Farr and his law firm based on his clients' reviews. Our initial appointment with Evan only confirmed all the excellent reviews we have read. Three specific qualities set Evan apart from other attorneys practicing Elder Law: his vast knowledge, excellent listening skills and offering of continuous education for his many clients. We much appreciated Evan's help in navigating the complex and stressful process of setting up our legal documents. We also appreciate Sara Entis' efforts to finalize this colossal task and to make the important signing appointment totally flawless. In addition, we want to mention Sierra Kolasa's willingness to help every time we needed assistance. Our entire experience only proved that choosing Evan and his firm was the right decision. We highly recommend Evan and his firm to everyone.

Brian Geno and his associate were very professional from start to finish. They were responsive anytime I had any questions. He explained exactly what he would be doing and even let me know I would not need to be present on the court day. Brian informed me right after the hearing that he had won my case without any points added to my driving record. I am very satisfied with his service and highly recommend him.

I’ve worked with Mr. Sodowsky, Ms. Kim and the entire Sodowsky Law Firm for years. They have helped me step by step to turn a huge nightmare into a new lease on life. They have been there through all the highs/lows one experiences when you have very serious tax issues. Through it all, they gave me expert advice but were also the most decent people to work with. Their hope, honesty and general kindness kept me upbeat and knowing the light at the end of the tunnel was near.

I found that Mr. Crowley had a high level of integrity and knowledge, and seemed genuinely concerned about the case as an individual, rather than just another case number on the dock. During the trial, Mr. Crowley asked all the relevant questions, reviewed all the documents of the opposing counsel, he found the inconsistencies with the plaintiff’s testimony, and was VERY concise with the cross examination. I expected the best he had to offer and he delivered. I highly recommend Mr. Crowley!

I hired Matthew Crowley as counsel, and he handled my case very well. I had no prior experience with the court system and had a lot of (mostly basic) questions, and he answered all of them with patience and clarity. He was willing and able to explain each step of the process, including his actions (e.g. requesting a continuation) and why he took them in this case. My case was dismissed before the trial date, largely in part due to his work, and he did the work to have my records expunged. Thank you, Matthew!

I had a mistameanir in virginia on my way home to Illinois, was not aware of the sudden change of speed limit, when i was presented with a mistameanir and a court date, of course i was devastated. I reached out to Miss Kimberly Phillips, and Esha, and i have to admit Esha was caring and professional with all the information i needed, and Miss Kimberly phillips took care of case at court and bought the mistameanir to a ticket violation. The fine was bought down to 250.00 and i did not have to return to virginia. I really do not think i will ho back after the scare, but i highly recommend Miss Kimberly and Esha, they know what they are doing, and truely took my case in there hands.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Attorney Michael May for representing me at the hearing held today at the Arlington County Courthouse. From the very first day I contacted him upon a recommendation from another attorney, he personally reached out to me and spared no effort in advising me on all possible actions I could take leading up to the hearing date. Moreover, he provided detailed explanations and probabilities for every possible scenario, allowing us to devise a strategy together to achieve the best possible outcome.
In addition, his professional knowledge, precision, and ability to confidently and effectively represent me in court were truly outstanding. I felt immense trust watching him engage with the officer who had stopped me, handling the situation respectfully yet confidently.
If you are looking for an attorney who will genuinely advocate for you and achieve the best possible outcome under the circumstances, I confidently recommend seeking advice and assistance from Attorney Michael May. Once again, I deeply appreciate your help, Mr. May.

Mr. Smith provided excellent legal counsel and representation. He took on my case relatively last minute given that my representation at the time had not been communicative. Mr. Smith was friendly, professional, and understanding. He has a level of knowledge on the inner workings of the Virginia and Fairfax County court system that are demonstrative of an extreme dedication to his profession and a high level of experience. Thank you very much to Mr. Smith and his team!

I highly recommend Maureen Danker. Maureen is up front, honest and compassionate. From the beginning of my contentious custody case Maureen set my expectations. Maureen was very transparent in terms of cost. She was open and honest regarding the strength of my case to ensure I had the opportunity to weigh risk verses reward at every turn. When I made the decision to litigate my custody case, Maureen was all in. Her professionalism and knowledge in the court room was impeccable. I had several family members and friends in attendance, and they were in awe. My case was NOT a slam dunk. As we waited for the judge’s decision at the conclusion of trial, I was at peace knowing that no matter the outcome, Maureen left no stone unturned, nothing on the table and presented the best case possible. The judgment went 100% our way which is a true testament to Maureen’s superior litigation skills. My equitable distribution case was settled out of court and again, Maureen set my expectations and gave me the information I needed to make decisions. Her outstanding negotiation skills provided me a settlement that exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for an attorney who is honest, compassionate and not looking to spend your money unnecessarily, Maureen Danker is the attorney for you.

I had the pleasure of being represented by Monica Sameni at Powell Radomsky during my divorce case, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Monica was incredibly organized, knowledgeable, and compassionate throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand my situation (which involved a divorce case spanning two states), provided clear guidance, and always kept me informed. Her expertise and dedication to my case ensured a fair outcome, and I felt supported every step of the way. Furthermore, Monica's ability to balance the necessary legal procedures with cost efficiency ensured that I received excellent representation without unnecessary expenses. I highly recommend Monica and the Powell Radomsky law group to anyone in need of an outstanding family law attorney.

The attorneys and staff of The Law Offices of Patrick N. Anderson and Associates are very professional and exceptional to work with. I worked specifically with Mr. Mejia, and I highly recommend him.
For those of you unfamiliar with the legal system, and/or reading google reviews in search of a good attorney, perhaps the most critical thing you should know is that a good attorney is not solely defined by his/her knowledge of the law. In the legal system, there are various intricacies in the courts that may play a larger role than you realize in determining an outcome. If you want the best possible outcome, you need an attorney with firsthand experience in that realm, who can help you navigate these nuances.
Therefore, it is on both his knowledge of the law, and his experience with the court circuits in Northern Virginia, that I commend and endorse the services Mr. Mejia can provide for you.

Throughout the process, he demonstrated an exceptional level of dedication and expertise, always keeping us informed and guiding us with sound advice. His professionalism, combined with his deep knowledge, made a significant difference for us. We highly recommend Michael Lau for anyone seeking top-tier legal representation. We ended up winning our case and getting the justice we wanted.

Grant Moher and his firm has a solid background in addressing family law issues that pertain to military families. They are well positioned to help all service members, veterans, and their dependents. I found Grant Moher and his staff to be exceptional in their expertise, availability and respond quickly to my questions with kind and compassionate support. My case involves ongoing spousal support issues. Military divorces are very stressful events that involve overlapping military family law issues and Grant Moher and his team was incredibly helpful and seemed to have my best interest.

Grant and his team are an amazing group of people. Grant was able to step into my case midway and navigate through all the complexities with visitation, custody and financials relating to the PSA. He saved me time in court by being able to strongly negotiate my terms using various strategies to get the other side to come to terms. I especially found is demeanor to be most reassuring, he uses a fact-based approach to resolve issues and really stands his ground. He truly fought for me and my children. He also fought for my financial well being, he created agreements that stated remedies I could take on my own if the terms were defied. This helped preventing going back and forth in court. I really appreciate that he was thoughtful, thorough and proactive.

I cannot thank Mr. Hicks enough for the incredible support and expertise he provided during the most difficult time of my life. I was facing a false sexual assault accusation that left me feeling trapped with no way out. I was at risk of deportation and losing my job, and the stress was unbearable for months. At one point, I even felt hopeless and suicidal.
Mr. Hicks not only brought his extensive knowledge and skill to my case, but he also treated me like family. He truly cared about my well-being, and his unwavering support gave me the strength to keep going. Through his hard work and dedication, he was able to get my case dismissed and turn my life around.
If you are looking for a lawyer who will fight for you with compassion and unmatched expertise, I highly recommend Mr. Hicks. He is a lifesaver, and I will forever be grateful for everything he has done for me.

Mr. Brian Drummond came highly recommended to my family by a trusted friend, and we now know why. Mr. Drummond is an outstanding lawyer and human. He supported our family when both of my sons were dealing with 2 different court issues in 2 different counties at the same time.
He quickly responded to my many messages and questions and continually went above and beyond to support my boys in their different situations! Both court issues ended with the best outcome possible thanks to his knowledge and fantastic pre-court advice.
He treats his clients with respect, humor, and empathy.
I highly recommend Mr. Drummond if you need a lawyer.

I would like to share the experience that I had after doing a Google search for Workman's Compensation Lawyers in Arlington, VA. There were many attorneys listed all over Northern Virginia and even into Richmond, VA. After researching websites and reviews of several attorneys, Charles O'Donnell was the attorney that impressed me the most. I have multiple existing Workman's Compensation against Amazon Logistics which I have been handling by myself primarily because when I made calls to attorneys 3-4 months ago for help, not one would give any assistance. Their legal assistants listened but at the end of the day, my case was a little too complicated or they just did not believe thay would prevail if they had taken my case.
I believe most attorneys will give a free consutation, but I truely got much more. In the end, my phone conversation with Mr. O'Donnell lasted one hour and six minutes. Mr. O'Donnell is a great listener and was very thorough in understanding all the complexities of four different accident events that were on record with Virginia Workmans Compensation Commission. Even more important was the information that he shared that related to my accidents that affected both knees. Mr. O'Donnell maybe could have taken my case (?) but declined as I already had a working settlement on
the table that I had negotiated but had second thoughts about.
From my experience today talking with Mr. O'Donnell, I would highly recommend that you give him a call if you have a need for an attorney in Northern Virginia or DC Metro area. I like people that forget about themselves and think well about their clients. That person is Charles O'Donnell and I truely believe he will represent your interests as good as any attorney in our area.

The accident that I had was horrible and it changes my life completely. I was here in Virginia alone with no family members. When Mr. O'Donnell and his staff member came to see me in the hospital I was able to see how they work and that they care about their clients. With his help and his staff I did not feel alone anymore. They fought for me and did everything they could to get me the treatment I needed and to be able to walk out of this accident with something to start a new life. I though my life was over when I had my accident but Mr. O'Donnell and his staff should me that It was not and that there was many things I can do after the accident. He saved my life. He is a very honest and caring attorney that will do all in his power to makes things right and to fight for his client's rights. He did an amazing job for me and I am grateful that found him. I appreciate all the hard work he did for me.

He is an amazing Lawyer with amazing staff as well. Words are not enough to describe how Tom in handling our case for a wrongful death of our son. He is the best lawyer out there! He kept us in the loop from the start to finish. Explains all the things we needed to know and so easy to communicate with. He responds with all our inquiry right away. He lightened our load in some way so to speak by not stressing us out throughout the process but was working hard for our case to be done in a way we will not be stressed, but him working dedicatedly. Only few like him that shows genuine concern and dedication not just to our case but to us and our family. Very professional and with excellent work ethics. Very knowledgeable and smart. My two young daughters like him a lot that they asked us to give him something to remember them all the time , a build the bear that they dressed up just like him. Tom valued that gift from our daughters.

I met and retained Mr. Smith in early 2009 to represent me in a medical malpractice claim. That claim was subsequently settled through mediation in early 2011. It is difficult to put into words how appreciative I was having Mr. Smith as my attorney. He was extremely knowledgeable (not only regarding legal issues, but also in understanding the multiple medical issues I was having), highly professional at all times, was able to explain every step of the process to me so I (as a non-attorney) understood what was being done from start to finish, and was just an all-around compassionate and highly competent professional.
