My mother moved into assisted living four months ago. Her long-term care insurance originally denied coverage. I hired Ms Follis and we filed an appeal. Mr Follis was reasonably priced and expeditious with services. We didn't have to go to court. I am very pleased.

After my accident I really didn’t know if I needed an attorney. Craig was professional always returned calls and provided sound advice. I’m the end an attorney was not necessary. It was a pleasure to speak to someone so honest and not just trying to take our money.

I have been working with Mr Marcus for several years now and today we settled. He has been very professional and willing to work with me on this case. We settled for the amount that I was initially hoping to receive. I highly recommend Mr Marcus and his firm.

I feel extremely lucky to have found Keith Marcus after my dog and I were attacked by a huge Dogo Argentino with no owner in sight. Against the odds, and counter to what I was told by all the other lawyers I spoke with beforehand, he was able to obtain compensation for my dog's injuries and his life-saving treatments, which ended up costing thousands of dollars. This is remarkable in a state such as Virginia, which has very lenient laws regarding owners of dogs who attack other dogs. My dog and I will be forever grateful to this man.

This is a big thank you to my friend and attorney, Mr. Keith B. Marcus, a shining star in RVA’s legal community. Keith recently represented me for the third time over the years. All three cases settled in my favor. The last one, an auto accident case, reached a settlement that was more than gratifying!
I have also recommended Keith to several friends, who were equally satisfied. Being involved in hundreds of cases over many years and having only one disgruntled malcontent seems to me you’re batting 99.9% - just saying.
Thanks again, Keith.

Jennifer West is the one whom I can trust blindly for immigration advice or process. She handled my green card case in 2012, neutralization in 2017, and then 2021 for my family.

Jennifer West is by far the best. She always answers all your questions and its very efficient. I believe her hard work made my visa process very fast and with no mistakes.
She is a human before a lawyer. She will do her best to help, she cares about you, your family and your case.

My consultation with attorney Stewart was a wonderful experience. She is professional and knowledgeable. All of my questions were answered. She was able to break down legal jargon into layman terms for me. She showed competency and prudence; I would definitely recommend her as an attorney.

Wow! Working with Mrs. Stewart was one of the best investments I've ever made-next to investing in real estate! The service I requested was a contract review and she pretty much dissected the contract and exposed sinister intention. She explained how contracts should be construed in accordance to the locality/state of the party. She offered great advice such as being able to exit a contract under your terms and that it shouldn't be unilateral or in the favor of the other person. There is so much more I could write, but I have to go to bible study now!

Unfortunately I had 2 incidents within a 6 month period that I needed a lawyer for but fortunately I had Ms. Corcoran! For the first incident, a felony hit and run she reduced it to a misdemeanor and I was able to keep my license in addition to just being such a calming energy in the midst of what felt like the worst storm ever. Recently, I received a misdemeanor marijuana charge and of course I called her and not only did she give me a break financially she took care of the case quickly and efficiently with the best possible outcome in my favor.

After my experience with a less-effective lawyer, I was advised to contact Debra Corcoran. After our free consultation I knew I had to have her represent me. In the consultation she took her time, asked questions I never would have thought of, provided insight and recommendations and gave her undivided attention. She is the gold standard when it comes to professionalism, knowledge, experience, and wisdom which only comes from being successful in a field you specialize in. For Debra, that field is law. She always made herself available, was personal and spoke with respect and deep knowledge. She calmed me when I would get nervous about any uncertainty. She has resources that not all lawyers have, and this is due to what I believe is her ability to work others who realize the worth in working with her. Through out my case she was there for me. In court she spoke with authority and confidence. She always comes prepared and is ready to refute any allegation with truth backed up by statutes. She led me to victory and I could not be thankful enough. Her rates are priced accordingly and were never unjustifiable. She has shown me what an excellent lawyer is. I will always remember what she told me when I asked how she is so good at what she does, and her reply was simple and truthful; She strives to be the lawyer she would want to hire. Debra has high standards and there is nothing more you could ask for or expect. I HIGHLY recommend her in a heartbeat. I will always refer her and call her when needed.
As if I haven’t told you enough, my family and I THANK YOU for all you do.

Ms. Debra Desmore Corcoran esq. was able to take time out of her very busy schedule to consult with me on a matter that I was continuously hitting dead ends on for numerous days & it was exhausting and disappointing. Suddenly, almost like an Angel was kind enough to visit me, I was told information that I was seeking & given a proper direction in which to head towards. If it wasn't for Ms. Corcoran niceness, I might still be getting no-where in my search & quest for a topic that doesn't yet have much information written in regards to it. I can not thank her enough for going out of her way when she didn't have to, & I wish now that she was available for me to hire to help me take on the issue at hand because I sure could use her expertise.

After an injury and being pressured and pushed around by the insurance company I was introduced to mr reid by a friend. Immediately my stress levels dropped. Brody took charge and did everything he said he was going to when he said he was going to.
No one wants to suffer with an injury and ill live with mine my entire life but I wouldn't have the comfort and medical carafe if it were not for Brody and his team. The level of communication was great and even with mutually busy schedules he always finds/ found time to text or call whenever I had a question. I don't feel like just another folder in the pile here, its much more personal and hands on.

Mr Samuels was helpful as much as possible. I hired him over 2 years ago to assist me with my disability claim. I couldn't have been more pleased with the way he kept in touch and was always a step ahead in the claim process. As today,promptly returns calls.
I have a current insurance company issue & need guidance in the steps to get this rectified so providers can be paid as in the past 30+ yrs I have been with them as a spouse of a retiree.
Understandably, Mr Samuels does have to require a Escrow account deposit to start his assistance. He was very thorough in explaining the associated fee and is understandable given the possibility of time devoted. Unfortunately SSDI is my only income. I don't qualify for any assistance the government supposedly pays those who are unable to meet living requirements due to my being married and my husband receiving actually less per month than I do after the SS insurance Part B deduction.
Mr Samuels is so professional and shows genuine empathy given my disability when initially spoke with him in 2019. He has shown that same professionalism given my current situation. I would (and have) highly recommended this lawyer who genuinely cares more about the client than the understable need for case charge currency. However it is very competitive given the economy and other providers in his profession. Mr Samuels dedicated the time to assure my disability case moved swiftly through the system process and held true to any statement made. Worked with several of my providers as needed . Was very professional in guiding me through the required process of gathering office and the many procedure notes required by me from the Social Security Administration. Mr Samuels is very knowledgeable in the disability program and the way he breaks the language down to layman's terms is a helpful qualification of many definite accomplishments acquired by this top notch attorney.

Josh was extremely considerate with my case as well as my physical and emotional state during it. He would always start off our conversations asking how I was doing and took care to understand how I felt about each decision made. I felt very confident in his representation of me and would contact him first again if ever needed. He made sure that I was comfortable at every point of our case and that I understood what was going on as well as how I should proceed to best take care of myself. I believe I am very lucky to have had him as an attorney.

The Patent process can be scary, expensive and frustrating. It is well published that patent approval could take three to six years and there is no guarantee of success. However, our experience has been the complete opposite of that trend ….. largely due to Brian’s hard work with my little technology company over the past five years.
To date we have received five patents from the USPTO and have the like amount pending with the USPTO. Putting aside Brian’s vast experience and knowledge on the patent process, Brian’s greatest contribution to our process has been his ability to first, listen to what I am trying to accomplish and then have the courage to disagree with me if he feels that we are going down the wrong path. This is a quality that provides my company a sense of comfort and allows for more discussion and collaboration.
In summary, Brian’s “hands on approach” has greatly benefited my company and I recommend his services to anyone that is looking for this quality when choosing the proper patent attorney.

Brian handled my design patent application. We consulted on strategy and timing, and he worked as needed to expedite the process to meet deadlines. I have continued to trust his advice, as there have been occasions in which he advised me against patent prosecution, when he could have simply charged a fee. I will continue to work with him in the future and would recommend him.

I had an injury on the job and honestly didn't know where to turn. Between the pain and worrying about my bills, I needed someone on my side. I contacted Christian and he and his team went straight to work for me. It was a lengthy process and Christian was very patient and helpful with the many questions I had for him. His team kept me apprised on all of the deadlines and court dates that were so very important in my case. The settlement came in and I was very thankful for all of the hard work Christian and his team had put forth. It has been a year since my settlement and I was contacted recently by Janell who was inquiring about how I was getting along and if there was anything else that they could do for me. I would highly recommend Christian and his team here at Injured Workers Law Firm. You'll feel like you've got someone on your side!

It can be hard to find a lawyer who is at once professional and personable, but Jeremy is that rare attorney.

I am beyond impressed with the representation I received in my court case. I had a reckless driving for speeding ticket and got the desired result. I was outside the norm but this is the first lawyer that I have interacted with that was genuinely interested in doing everything he could for my case and knew my case before the trial day. I was instructed in everything I would need to do to get my desired result. I did extra community service than he recommended (120 hours vs 80) as well before trial and this helped as well. Richard helped me navigate the court day and was reassuring but honest as well as agile in the presentation of mitigating evidence. I have said as well too many times in this review but that should speak volumes to the care I received that I was not expecting. I am picky with service and they were great! 10/10 would highly recommend this law office for reckless speeding tickets over 90!

I could not have asked for a better lawyer Richard Wiley was one of thw best lawyers that I ever came across. Actually this is my first time I needed an lawyer and I was very skeptical about this sensitive case that I had but I would not have changed it in the world. Richard was very prompt, he was on time, he stayed communicated with me with things that changed, he went over and above his duties as a lawyer to represent me in my case. At the end of the case I was granted everything I wanted. Richard was persistent he stayed consistent and he wanted to make sure that i received the best outcome for my situation. I am happy and I really really really appreciate everything he have done. I definitely will hire him again I will recommend 100000 times to anybody that want to hire him and also I would definitely keep him in mind if I need him for any future legal matters. 10/10

I am working with Taghavi Immigration Law for my J1 visa status, O1 application and green card application. They have been always there for me from the beginning, and this was something I didn't experience with my past lawyer. They are caring and supporting where this immediately builds trust, and knowing that I am in safe hands and with people that will do the most and whats best for me is so comforting. Even though my situation is incredibly complicated, they are always assuring and are not backing down from putting their 100% effort. I would definitely recommend working with them to anyone.

My experience working with Taghavi Immigration Law was beyond a sigh of relief. I remember how hopeless my case seemed at one point; I did not have a clear path forward, and my employer’s attempt to secure a H1B visa was coming to an impasse. We had reached out to immigration as well as corporate lawyers for a solution, and none of those options panned out. It was not until my first meeting with Taghavi Immigration Law, mainly the principal attorney, Soulmaz Taghavi, that things became more optimistic. They immediately saw a clear path forward, and they knew exactly what to do and how to approach my case. I am a Christian, so I attribute this moment to the mighty grace and power of our savior Jesus Christ! Following our first meeting with the principal Attorney, Soulmaz Taghavi, things started to fall into place, and before we knew it, my H1B was approved against all odds. I am so grateful for their work, and above all, their genuine determination to help me fight for my future and my American dream!

Assuming no lawyer would touch my old workers comp case, I struggled on my own for several months attempting to build my case. I wound up buried in paperwork and feeling like a spider entangled in its own web until, I was fortunate enough to be introcued to Casey. Casey took my case immediately, giving me the comfort of knowing I had a legal team standing by my side. He and all I came in contact with at Reid Goodwin treated me as family, not simply another number. Casey smoothly sorted everything out for me, helping me end a 17 year old nightmare. I would definately refer Casey to anyone in need of a W.C. lawyer. If you are reading this reveiw, thinking you can do it on your own, don't, have Casey on your side taking care of all the things you really couldn't atticipate.

I definitely would recommend him to anyone who wants a good, honest and trustworthy lawyer

I saw Caroline speak as a panel member for an event geared toward small business owners in the "creatives" category. It was clear that Caroline has a passion to help small businesses grow and succeed by keeping them knowledgeable and informed on legal matters. As a small business owner I can attest to the number of moving parts involved with running my business. It is encouraging to know there are lawyers out that geared to helping small businesses understand and working through legal issues like creating an LLC, paying taxes, or having liability insurance. I just started my businesses so I haven't had the privilege of working with Caroline yet, but when the time comes, she will be one of the first people I contact!

Mr. Bradshaw was very attentive to everything I needed and wanted. Being the first lawyer I ever needed, he made the process as easy as possible for me. He informed me of the entire legal process being that I had no prior experience. He kept me fully informed on everything that was going to occur in court ahead of time down to the judges name. I never once worried that he would not show up to court or leave me out of the loop. He is an aggressive lawyer in order to get your needs and wants met. He is a good talker and seems to really know his legal terminology. I would recommend him to anyone.

I never had to use a lawyer before this year. I am glad I chose Ben Rand for several reasons:
1- I did not understand the severarity of the case and the implications if would have on me in the long run
2-Ben made the legal process very easy to understand and put me at the ease the entire time
3.He checekd in regularly to make sure everything was on track and was available to me anytime of the day

Ben is not just a lawyer, but he is a friend. He is very honest, even if it's not what you want to hear. He is respectful, and understands what's best for you, and your family. He is not one of those lawyers who will just take your money, and tell you anything. If it's a waste of time, and money he'll tell you. Mr. Rand has represented me several times, and I will be the first to say that He was worth every $$$$. It's hard to find good people now days. If you call Mr. Rand you got yourself a good lawyer, and friend!!!!

I was going out of town and had a court-hearing for a reckless ticket. Was only 14+ and he advised an online driving school I could go to out of state and represented me in court. Charge was dropped to a speeding for 9pmh over and just had $169 in court fines afterwards. Saved my license and my job!

Like many others, traveling through Virginia I received a ticket. Upon a couple of weeks, I received several letters from traffic attorneys. Mr. Parrish's letter stood out the most as it was professional, informative and straight to the point. Upon getting in contact and speaking with him directly, he was very knowledgable about Virginia traffic and confident . He was able to get my violation reduced to no points! What more do you need, professional, knowledgable and reliable!

This man is awesome at what he does! Somehow he was able to get me out of a reckless driving ticket that was 30 over the speed limit. Got me out of having to take driving school and just a very small fine. Love him! He's well worth it.

JoAnna Suyes and her paralegal Christy Bixby were incredibly helpful from the first day I stepped foot into Marks & Harrison until 3 plus years later that I had my disability hearing. During the 3 year long process both JoAnna and Christy kept me informed of any and all changes as well the progression of my hearing. JoAnna was very positive, comforting, and reassuring each time that I either spoke to her or that I met with her which was so very important and appreciated, through a most difficult time. After my disability hearing, JoAnna was quite on point with how she felt the decisioning would be. I've not yet received the decisioning of my case but I can say with the strictest convictions either way the decision goes I couldn't have chosen a better attorney.
Thank you JoAnna & Christy

Joanna and her staff filed my application, my appeals, and Joanna went to a hearing with me. Her staff is very knowledgable about all aspects of Social Security. If I couldn't talk to Joanna, I could talk to K and she would be able to answer most of my questions. They were upfront and honest with me the entire time and never let me lose hope with kind words and a good sense of humor. It was an experience that I don't want to repeat, but if I had to, I would not go any other way. Joanna was able to tell me what she thought of the hearing/what decision the judge would make when we left. She was available to answer questions after my FAVORABLE decision and I will continue to send people to Joanna and Marks and Harrison.

Joanna helped me obtain social security disability even after my private disability denied me twice. She was very thorough and stayed in touch with me about exactly what information I needed to provide. She made a difficult situation for me much easier. I would recommend Joanna highly !
