I very highly recommend Bernstein Hough PC and in particular Paula Hough for your legal needs, especially if you have a legal issue in Virginia but you live out-of-state. I really needed a lawyer I could depend on who could represent me in court on my behalf without me being present so that I would not miss any time from work due to living in another state. Paula gave me very clear legal advice and instructions. I did what she advised me to do in a timely manner, and everything worked out just fine. I highly recommend Paula!

I recently had the pleasure of working with BernsteinHough, P.C. for a Reckless Driving charge, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. Mr. Hough and Ms. Jennifer H. Jones provided outstanding representation, which resulted in my charge being reduced to a non-moving violation. Their expertise, professionalism, and clear communication made the entire process straightforward and stress-free. I highly recommend BernsteinHough, P.C. for anyone in need of dedicated and effective legal assistance.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Paula Bernstein Hough on a traffic ticket case, and I am thrilled to share my experience. From the outset, Paula demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication. She took the time to understand my situation thoroughly and provided clear, concise guidance on the best course of action. Throughout the process, Paula was incredibly responsive and kept me informed at every step. Her meticulous attention to detail and strategic approach were key factors in the successful dismissal of my traffic ticket. Additionally, her ability to navigate the legal complexities with ease and confidence gave me great peace of mind. A special mention goes to Paula’s assistant, Jennifer, who was very helpful in providing timely responses to all my questions and queries. Her support was invaluable and greatly appreciated. I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding legal representation I received. Thanks to Paula Bernstein Hough and her team, I no longer have to worry about this matter. I highly recommend Paula to anyone in need of top-notch legal assistance. Thank you once again for your exceptional service and support.

I am absolutely delighted to share my experience with Mr. Hough's legal team because, in my opinion, they are unequivocally the best in the game. From the moment I sought their assistance, they treated me like family, and that level of care made a world of difference. One thing that truly sets them apart is their unwavering commitment to understanding that everyone makes mistakes and that not everyone knows every intricacy of the law. They recognize that this lack of knowledge can sometimes have detrimental consequences. That's where Mr. Hough's team steps in – to ensure you get the results you deserve, rather than just what is technically required. What I found most impressive is their approach to handling cases. They don't just stick to the black-and-white legality of the situation. They take the time to listen to your feelings and your side of the story, along with the facts. This comprehensive understanding allows them to make the best decisions on how to move forward, tailored to your unique circumstances. Throughout the entire process, there wasn't a single second where I felt like my voice wasn't heard. That's an incredible testament to their dedication to their clients. I can't express how grateful I am for their support and expertise. I want to make it crystal clear that, regardless of where I am, even if I'm a million miles away and happen to get a traffic ticket, Mr. Hough's legal team will be the first and only professionals I will be contacting. You can count on that. Thank you, Mr. Hough and team, for your exceptional service.

After searching Richmond and hearing all negative responses from criminal defense attorneys regarding my case, I found SHANNON TAYLOR who was positive from the get go, not to mention MUCH MUCH CHEAPER. From day 1, I felt comfortable with her as my defense and she never let me down. Indicted on 3 felonies in Federal Court at first, then reindicted on 6 felonies, she never waivered when I insitsted on going to trial. After 3 days at trial, the jury came back with a not guilty verdict on all 6 felonies. It is because of her, faith in God, and a never give up attitude that I am not a felon or sitting in prison right now. Thanks so much Shannon.

I received a reckless driving ticket in the state of VA, as an out of state driver, so attending the court date was going to be challenging since I would have to miss work, get a hotel, drive very far, etc. I hired Robin Desrosiers after receiving numerous letters in the mail regarding hiring an attorney. After speaking with many lawyers, all who tried to get insane amounts of money from me, I found Ms. Desrosier, who was fair, honest, and blunt about my case. She stated all the possible outcomes, explained what the judge typically settles these cases for, and put me at ease that I was not going to receive a class I misdemeanor. Through all our contact she was VERY prompt with responding and truly was committed to my case. She is extremely professional and handles all of her clients herself which is also very satisfying. Ultimately, Ms. Desrosier was able to plead my innocence and get my cased dismissed. She was fabulous and I would recommend her to anyone!

I am honored to be the first one to write a review on Mrs. Desrosier. My father is a truck driver from Canada passing thru Virginia when he got a criminal traffic charge. Both my parents were worried because they didn't know what to do. They got a letter from Mrs Desrosier offering her services to represent my father, at first they were a little apprehensive because they are not from that area and no way to know if Mrs Desrosier was good and her rate was mere pennies compared to the other lawyers from Virginia. She was prompt at replying to emails and returning phone calls so we felt confident at retaining her as our legal council. The outcome could not have been better than we expected it was brought down from a criminal charge to a simple traffic violation without Mrs Desrosier my father would have lost his licence not to mention the possibility of jail time. I myself have dealt with lawyers in the past and she is by far one of the best I have encountered. My parents don't speak english with heavy accents so already it can be hard to understand them however Mrs Desrosier was very patient with them and took all the time they needed to ask and answer their questions. If you are looking for someone who is prompt professional and compassionate about their work then she is the right person for your legal needs and her rate is unbeatable. Thanks again Mrs Desrosier for all you did for my family.

His assistant Marley was so kind, answered any questions we had and provided excellent assistance every step of the way. They both truly cared to help us.

Mike was great during prep for court, very thorough. However, he does not do well in trial. He is very nervous, almost hyper, was not a clear speaker, did a lot of stuttering / stammering, and seemed to irritate the judge on more than one occasion. He did not come across as professional as I would have liked. Made a few errors and had to backtrack frequently, causing the judge to appear frustrated. The outcome of my case was not good, and I feel like his lack of professionalism was the main cause. I would trust him to handle cases that did not require trial (legal paperwork maybe?) - but I would not take him back to court again.

The first day I met with him he didn’t even greet me. And I said hello TWICE ! I met with him again and he made suggestions to my case , when I went to custody court he denied it ! Made me look like a liar ! He was a POA on our case but when I spoke he kept making objections to my statements. Like he was representing the other party instead of the child. This man said to the courts he thought it was interesting that I accused the other party of abuse but no arrest was ever made a total jerk ! Do not allow him into the court room with you for any reason . He is a horrible person.

Linda Scott does not care about her clients. She deliberately told me and the family of my fiance' that she will not fight for him if he did not sign the plea agreement. She did not want to hear anything of his story. She didn't want to explain anything. She rushes you and will walk away when she is done talking or does not want to continue the conversation. She railroaded him and was obviously not on his side. Forget retirement, just disbar her with no type of severence. No telling how many people she has done this to. From other reviews, this was not her first time doing this.

I was left standing in front of a judge, and several attorneys for the state, alone, because my attorney failed to show up or answer anyone's calls ( not mine or the other attorneys involved in my case). I have placed several calls to Mrs. Piper, and her receptionist (who has informed me that my messages were given to Mrs. Piper) about my $5000.00 retainer, the remaining balance, and an itemized billing statement. My questions have remained unanswered, for months. To abandon families at possibly the worst and most terrifying time of their lives is appalling, and Mrs. Piper should be ashamed. Unless you want to pay a sizable retainer to an attorney that leaves you unrepresented, and will not return calls concerning your money, I highly recommend finding a different firm.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.

  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
