I highly recommend Scott Ives to anyone going through a divorce. He made the whole process so much easier and less stressful than I expected.
From the start, Scott was very supportive and explained everything in a way that made sense to me. He was always available to answer my questions and concerns.
What really impressed me was how he balanced being professional with being kind and understanding.
I'm so grateful to have had Scott by my side during this tough time. If you're looking for a divorce lawyer who's knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated, look no further!
Thank you very much,
Tatiana

I consulted with Rachel twice through my Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and retained her services, knowing that she would cover all aspects of my divorce proceedings. She provided education, adjunct resources, support, and transparency throughout. I truly could not have done this on my own and Rachel quickly responded to any questions/concerns I’ve had. Divorce is not an easy process but Rachel’s knowledge and expertise made this a seamless transition. I would definitely recommend Rachel Virk if you’re seeking a thorough, direct, and results-driven attorney. Great experience!

This is my second time writing a review for Ms. Virk, the first of which was under the name FDB. After retaining Ms. Virk, she delivered the most favorable outcome that I could imagine. She even directly helped both of my children, writing them letters for school on multiple occasions. She is a very caring lawyer, but more importantly a very caring person. She truly is invested in every one of her clients, and that attitude transcends any work she could do. Not to mention, she does amazing work. There is not a lawyer I could imagine that would positively affect me more than Mrs. Virk has. She is wonderful and I unequivocally recommend her to anyone in need of a compassionate divorce lawyer. Like I said in my first review, she is a warrior.

I'm a Virginia lawyer and I'm a client of Shayan Noor, why? Because he is an excellent lawyer, he's personable, highly intelligent, knows the law and has experience with the courts, which makes him a killer lawyer. I confidently tell my clients to reach out to him and see if he is a good fit for them and when they retain him, he fights for them tooth and nail and has achieved many astonishing outcomes for his clients. When a surgeon goes to another surgeon to have the same type of surgery he does, done on himself, you as a patient can also trust the surgeon who is doing surgery on the surgeon. When a lawyer has Shayan Noor represent them in court, you too can have Shayan represent you with confidence.

I have hired Mr. Noor twice in the past 15 months for two separate incidents. From the beginning Mr. Noor aggressively defended me and was able to get both of my cases dismissed! Mr. Noor is simply an amazing attorney. He works with you and he is very affordable. He also responds to any questions or concerns promptly and keeps you updated on your case. I’m referring him to all my friends and family. Give him a chance and you’ll be a lifetime member with him. Amazing personality and professional ethics.

Shayan is what you are looking for. He is really professional and knowledgeable; trustworthy and communicative, but beside all that, he actually cares about you and yours, not money hungry machine. In my case, Shayan could just take an initial “easy money” deal but he advised me not to do it, even knowing that the case was going to take longer for him and us, at the end was worthy, because he gain our trust and is now our family lawyer. He is a real legal advisor, believe me; “he is the man”

From the moment I met (online) Ms. Vaillancourt, I knew I was in good hands. She started by introducing herself and explaining that she would be my lawyer for the day in court. She made sure I had been given my questions of what the trustee would ask of me so I would be relaxed at knowing exactly what to expect. When I arrived at the courthouse, she began explaining everything that would happen in the courtroom. I came in somewhat scared and worried, but she calmed any fears or concerns by answering all of my questions before we went into the courtroom, even the ones about the smallest details. Once in the courtroom, and before we started, she explained again, step-by-step what the procedure would be, where I would sit, where the trustee and his aides would sit, what they would do, and I felt myself beginning to relax. I watched other lawyers go up with their clients and was amazed that they were no where near as prepared as we were. I had all of my information ready, and so when I saw that one person ahead of us still had not filed certain paperwork, I knew again I was in good hands. When my turn came to go before the trustee, Ms. Vaillancourt sat beside me in front of him when he asked questions, and gave me assistance when I did not understand a question, and helped me through the whole process. When the trustee asked me questions, I answered in yes, no, etc, and I was done in only about 5 minutes, unlike the persons who had lawyers from a different office. It had taken 15 minutes to half an hour for them to go through the questions. She is smart, professional in manners- knowledge- and appearance, and answers all of the questions you have. She is very knowledgeable in the law, in how the court works, and what is expected of her clients. She is very kind and considerate, and understands how hard this process is for people. When she spoke with me outside the courtroom, she spoke quietly so as to not let others in the room hear my information and that showed me I could trust her. I had never gone through any kind of process like this before, so I was grateful that I had Kaitlin with me the whole way. And, she was concerned enough about me to do a follow-up to see how I was doing. Total care, kindness, knowledge, and responsibility for her clients.

Kaitlin(Katie) is an amazing attorney. She responds promptly to emails and telephone calls. She is extremely thorough and makes you feel safe and that your financial situation is secure in her legal hands. She had to work quickly with some matters and did so. I would highly recommend her. When I reflect on her assistance I would say two words come to mind, "reliable and thorough" yet she always has a smile and a supportive word to help you feel more at ease and less stressful

Kaitlin was assigned by Robert Weed to handle my bankruptcy. She did a great job
She responded to all emails including one from my parents and answered questions
Concerning my bankruptcy and the garnishment case. When I went to the hearing for
The garnished wages I was very nervous and she eased my nerves by telling
Me that it would be ok. We ended up losing that case but I really felt comfortable
With her. This is the second time I have used the law offices of Robert Weed and
Kaitlin is a great lawyer..

First of all praise God in Jesus mighty name for Laura Hamilton my Attorney.
As a man of God, a Loving Father, a Daddy, and a Combat Veteran I thank you Laura Hamilton for everything you have done so far in putting the piece's back together in my life. Through legal action you have corrected so many wrongs, from previous attorney's.
To all good people I give Laura Hamilton the highest recommendation. Don't go to just any Attorney start here.
In family law the discretion of the court is sometimes just wrong and unjust and it takes a skilled, compassionate, honest Attorney to navigate a specific strategy to see the you through, Laura Hamilton is that Attorney
Thank you Laura Hamilton
Very Respectfully
Best Regards
Caddell

When I needed help with custody and visitation I sought advise from fellow attorneys who litigate in family courts across Northern Virginia. They all recommended Laura Hamilton to handle my complex and heart rending appeal. She has accomplished more with her resolve and tenacity than any of the so called prestigious pedigree firms whom I had hired in the past. I have witnessed her intense preparation, professional demeanor, and courtroom brilliance sway previously skeptical judges. Her reputation impressed my fellow lawyers, and now, I am over awed by her dedication. I am grateful to have Laura Hamilton on my side.

Laura is the type of attorney that you see on television shows like "Law and Order." She's a formidable opponent, and extremely logical and rational. One thing that I loved about having Laura as my counsel is that even if she asserted that we should take a certain action-----she would still be weighing the strategy associated with taking that action up until the very last minute.
Laura is very STEALTHY. Her mind SHREDS information, down to the finest detail.
In addition to her legal prowess, Laura is extremely nurturing. There were many instances in her time spent with me where she gave me practical advice for my specific situation that had nothing to do with practicing law. She remained accessible via phone and text, even at night and on the weekends.
If you need an attorney who is going to go the extra mile to not only provide you with representation but support then Laura is your person. She's argued cases in front of the Supreme Court and more.
What touched me the most about Laura, was her willingness to work with me financially. She's certainly seasoned enough, to not have to do that. She did that because she believed it was the right thing to do and there were many instances in which she would say "Look, that will work itself out. Lets focus on the case." Her character as a human being is what shines even brighter than her legal prowess.
Another thing I want to mention is that when Laura drafted motions on my behalf, they were completely solid. She filled her motions with tons of case law, shutting down the emotion based arguments of the opposing counsel. HIRE LAURA!

I worked with Kamran when I was first starting out in the patent law profession in 2004. We worked together at a private law firm for both domestic/foreign clients, where we were responsible for preparing new application drafts as well as domestic/foreign prosecution for technologies including semiconductor / memory fabrication and telecommunications. Kamran is a hard-working and flexible attorney that can handle projects of all sizes, from establishing basic IP strategy for small companies / solo inventors, as well as servicing larger and more structured clients which require more focused patent prosecution tactics for specific cases. Kamran is both a personal friend and colleague, and I would not hesitate to direct prospective clients his way.

a bad experience my aunt had a case with him he charged her 12,000 dollars & he did nothing more than avoid deportation & close the case in court which I don't think the case is closed because with what a terrible lawyer he is I doubt he is telling the truth The truth is, my aunt went to an asilo the judge denied it due to lack of evidence, now the big question is why are you looking for a lawyer if he is not going to gather all the necessary evidence, his job is to defend me & help me in my case, not to let him judge denied me my asilo so if it's any use to you, this lawyer is of no use, he's just a thief, but I don't recommend him, terrible service.

I wish there was an option for 0 stars, because Hernandez is a complete joke of an attorney! Hired him for a worker's comp case and because of his poor advice and his inability to do his job, I lost a lot of money. Also, the agreement that is given to his clients has English and Spanish translations which are very different from each other! Read other Google reviews on him and you will see how horrible he is! Plenty of competent attorneys to choose from in the DMV area.

I didn’t want to even leave the 1 star. This man is only good to take money that’s it and has a bad attitude. He represented me and lied the day before court promising so much but when I came to court he knew they were sending me to jail and I really don’t even think he did any research for my case. He asked my wife if I had a background when he should have already knew that once I retained him. So many crooked things about this man! Also my wife was not able to come on the back for the meetings and very condescending. I could go on about this man, please do not waste you’re money or time on this lawyer you will regret it. I truly believe a court appointed lawyer would and would have done better.

I am typically very tolerant and understanding, and have never really left a negative review. But we truly had a horrifying experience with Cara. Simply put, I would not recommend her. Not only is she cold and difficult to work with, but she's un-empathetic and arrogant beyond belief.

I was a client of M. Adams. He convinced me to start a case. I submitted him all the necessary information and paid almost the whole retainer. At pretrial hearing weird things happened. He gave me to sign a document right before hearing with values which didn’t match the information I provided and said that decision won’t be based on it – it’s just formality. You want to trust your lawyer. He wouldn’t say things he was supposed to protect me as his client. I had to stand for myself as much as I could, which is difficult when you have attorney. Pre-trial decision was very fair for Defendant and didn’t comply with M. Adams’s promises. After confronting him – I didn’t get any answer and he wouldn’t answer for a month with my request to give me my file. In a month he contacted, apologized. I still was hoping that it may work and I couldn’t quite afford to pay to another attorney. We met once to file one more document and then he disappeared again. It left very little time before final hearing and I was trying to contact him. Finally we met and he gave me any bill with ridiculous charges and acted against agreement. I realized I need to pick up file. I was shocked after reviewing it. He could take oath on one date and submit documents on another, which wouldn’t match what you gave him. He was late on all terms and all important documents were filed in favor of Defendant.
