Mr. Stevens took time out of his Friday evening to meet with me - for free - and spent almost 2 hours reviewing and discussing my case and defenses. He’s honest, thorough, and well-regarded in the community. It is rare to find attorneys, anywhere, that have the knowledge and client care that Mr. Stevens does. Whether you hire him or not, go to him and find out what is possible in your case. Doing so could be the difference between innocence or guilt.

Lisa is phenomenal. My daughter was charged with reckless driving in Virginia just after graduating college. We were very anxious since my daughter was interviewing for jobs and a misdemeanor would hurt her chances. Lisa told us exactly what to do to help get the charge reduced. She was ALWAYS available when I called or texted. Weekends, dinner time, didn’t matter, she responded. She got the charge dismissed. I’m so glad we hired Lisa!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Fisher-Sandler LLC, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of service I received. From the very beginning, Mr. Sandler demonstrated professionalism, attentiveness, and a deep understanding of the legal matters at hand. What stood out the most was Mr. Sandler's incredible attention to detail. Every aspect of my case was thoroughly reviewed, and Mr. Sandler ensured that nothing was overlooked. He provided clear and accurate guidance, breaking down complex legal jargon into terms I could easily understand, which made the entire process much less stressful. Not only was Mr. Sandler highly efficient and accurate, but he was also remarkably quick in addressing any questions or concerns I had. Communication was seamless, and I always felt like a priority. On top of Mr. Sandler's expertise, Michael was warm, approachable, and genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for me. It’s rare to find someone who combines such a high level of professionalism with such a friendly demeanor. I wholeheartedly recommend Fisher-Sandler LLC to anyone in need of legal services. Mr. Sandler's commitment to excellence and client satisfaction is truly exceptional!

My husband recently used Fisher-Sandler to conduct a bankruptcy case. Michael Sandler was extremely helpful, responsive to requests, and available to answer questions. He provided clear and cogent explanations of the process, alternatives, and consequences, and he made it easy to organize and submit the extensive required information -- all for a very reasonable fee. The case proceeded to a satisfactory solution without any glitches or delays. We recommend him without reservations and in the strongest possible terms.

Hiring Andrew Taylor as my attorney was the best decision I made when filing for divorce. My case was complicated, including numerous filings and hearings leading to a multi-day trial related to my divorce, child custody and support. He also handled my J&DR Court hearings to secure a Protective Order for my children and I. Andrew knows the law thoroughly and his experience in the courtroom meant he gave me very sound advice. After trying diligently to settle with the other side, it became clear we would have to go to trial. This meant months strategically prioritizing and timing the work on discovery, depositions, expert witnesses, coordination with the Guardian Ad Litem (GAL), minor children testifying to the judge in chambers, and supplementary legal negotiations. Andrew and his paralegal, Shannon, expertly managed all of this. They are truly good people and a delightful team: I trust them implicitly. Prior to my divorce trial, I presented Andrew with a 20-point list of what I wanted the judge to grant me. Andrew’s deep understanding of what the court would be looking for with regard to the best interest of my children, quantifying asset/debt values, jurisdiction, case law, & how that lined up with the fact patterns in my case meant success: what the judge granted me after the trial was beyond my expectations. Even though I was the one who chose to file for divorce, it was daunting emotionally. Sometimes I just wanted to give up the fight for what I knew I was legally allowed. However, Andrew Taylor is a thoughtful, empathetic person who clearly sees his role as one to help families navigate when they are facing hard realities. Andrew did everything to advocate for me & my children. My family & I have gone from surviving to thriving; we now live in a peaceful, joyful home. I highly recommend you speak with Andrew Taylor; whether your case is a simple one or more complex, to make sure all issues are properly addressed now and for your future.

I was at a crossroad not knowing which way to go towards moving forward on my divorce.I had separated from my ex -wife and was living in an apartment and paying for a mortgage and all bills of a house that I was not living in.The ex-wife did not want to cooperate with me in trying to be reasonable with the mortgage and bills for the house.I had spoken with several attorneys and I started out with an attorney in the office with Ms.Allen and I was later referred to Mr.Erickson.I spoke to Mr.Erickson and explained my situation to him as to what was going on. He advised me that I could start the process and move forward or I could sit back and wait and do nothing and keep paying out money and letting the ex-wife play games.I waited for awhile and then I decided to move forward on the separation and divorce process.I called Mr.Erickson later and told hom let's start the process.Mr.Erickson took me from the beginning to the ending of the separation and divorce process.I was standing to take a big lost during the process.However,the only big loss I took was the ex-wife getting half of my retirement in which I had already knew that no matter which way the process went that shevwould be entitled to that after being married for 30+ years.On the other hand,Mr.Erickson was able to get other monies for me for bills,insurances,personal items and I also got a FATCHECK when the ex-wife brought me out for the house.Mr. Erickson was very knowledgeable and professional all along the way during my process.Granted that even though I had to pay my legal fees,I will say that Mr.Erickson was able to get me over $200,000 in my pocket when everything was said and done.Based on my situation from the beginning and in the middle it didn't seem like I would come out on top. I am very pleased with the outcome and have started a new journey in life thanks to Mr.Erickson.

Very happy to have met and worked with Mr Erickson who has made our legal processes very smooth, explaining and answering all of our questions, punctual with getting back to us and also has a great administrative team. I tend to be extremely picky about who I work with, as I am direct, don’t like wasting time and money, and have all around high standards. I appreciate his diligence work and results!

I was told to get a lawyer by three staffs of the county jail house because of the severity of my case. I researched through the internet and came across a few but the moment i spoke to Andrew i knew he was the man who could get me out of my troubles He was very professional from the first day i called him to represent me in a case to the last day of my trial. He kept on encouraging me to hold and and fight the case, he told me he was ready to fight my case to my satisfaction. Even though it took more than a year, he kept encouraging me to hold on. He advised me not to rush to accept anything the DA throws at me just because i was desperate. True to his words, he was able to get the case reduced substantially. l was facing jail time, 12 months suspension of driving privileges, $2500 court fines and a whole lot of other things. He was able to beat the case to just $250 court fines. Even when the case was pending in court for more than a year, he kept on checking on me to see how i was doing. He is a good man and very professional

Nichols Zauzig, and in particular Cassandra Chin, has handled my family law situation for several complicated cases. Initially, I attended a seminar given by Mr. Nichols and he gave me confidence that the firm works hard for their clients. This proved to be especially true regarding Ms Chin. She is extremely well versed in Virginia family law, devotes the needed time and energy to the case, and far out classed the opposing counsel. She kept me well informed of the status of my case, presented options of how best to proceed, and every time we had a discussion I felt better about where I stood. I highly recommend Nichols Zauzig and specifically Ms Chin for any family law situation.

Cassandra Chin came highly recommended and I’m grateful for the recommendation. I retained her services for a post-divorce custody issue and both her and her whole team are smart, responsive, realistic, compassionate, and just so good at what they do. You're in excellent, highly capable hands from start to finish. Questions are always answered. I always knew exactly what was going on in our case. And you can tell just how respected she is in her field. Our case was resolved fairly and efficiently. It sounds odd to say when you are dealing with family law, but I enjoyed my time working with Cassandra and her team. While I hope to not have to retain her services again (knock on wood), I would 100% be a repeat client.

I was given Nichols Zauzig a few years ago as I contemplated a divorce. I’m thankful that I had their number because I suddenly needed them. My ex had her attorney send me an email telling me she wanted a divorce. Cassandra Chin urged me to try to work out a settlement agreement with my ex, but it is no surprise we couldn’t work anything out ourselves. Just before we went into a settlement meeting between the 2 attorneys and my ex, my ex pulled her original (untenable) offer and submitted an offer even worse. Cassandra called me before sending me the new offer and and told me not to worry because the new offer was against Virginia statute in several areas. She assured me that I would do better than the original offer my ex had just pulled. She was absolutely correct in her assessment. We got a much better deal and made a few nominal concessions early in the meeting that paid dividends later. Though I got divorced later in life and my ex had no savings or investments of her own, I will be able to retire thanks in no small part to Cassandra’s guidance. I thought we worked well together and I owe my future to her.

Over the past 12 years Mr Jacobs has handled many business and personal matters for myself, my family and my friends. Recommending someone is always something I am hesitant about because your opinion is subjective, but not in this case. Business matters are something if not handled well can be easily be dealt with, simply fire the person and move on. But personal matters are hard and the majority of the time you only get one shot to get it right. Hiring the "Best and Most Qualified Person" can be difficult because your case needs to be handled correctly, sincerely and by someone you can trust and today that is a tall order and one that is not easy to fill. Mr Jacobs handled issues for my sister as she was facing the end of her life due to cancer. He was kind and caring, he told her that she may be able to take her case forward but he asked her if "spending her last days going to court to win money would that truly be "Worth" the time she had left" , and of course her answer was "No". But, many other lawyers might have opted for the large pay off from her case. I have since recommended him to three friends that have been in accidents and he has handled their cases so well they have said they received "more then they thought they ever would". Like I stated in the beginning, it is hard to recommend ,,,but Mr Jacobs is an exception!

I saw first hand his wit and intellect in action. My arrest was a nightmare. His defense quickly put those bad dreams in the rear view mirror. Thank You Blake!

Hiring Andrew Taylor as my attorney was the best decision I made when filing for divorce. My case was complicated, including numerous filings and hearings leading to a multi-day trial related to my divorce, child custody and support. He also handled my J&DR Court hearings to secure a Protective Order for my children and I. Andrew knows the law thoroughly and his experience in the courtroom meant he gave me very sound advice. After trying diligently to settle with the other side, it became clear we would have to go to trial. This meant months strategically prioritizing and timing the work on discovery, depositions, expert witnesses, coordination with the Guardian Ad Litem (GAL), minor children testifying to the judge in chambers, and supplementary legal negotiations. Andrew and his paralegal, Shannon, expertly managed all of this. They are truly good people and a delightful team: I trust them implicitly. Prior to my divorce trial, I presented Andrew with a 20-point list of what I wanted the judge to grant me. Andrew’s deep understanding of what the court would be looking for with regard to the best interest of my children, quantifying asset/debt values, jurisdiction, case law, & how that lined up with the fact patterns in my case meant success: what the judge granted me after the trial was beyond my expectations. Even though I was the one who chose to file for divorce, it was daunting emotionally. Sometimes I just wanted to give up the fight for what I knew I was legally allowed. However, Andrew Taylor is a thoughtful, empathetic person who clearly sees his role as one to help families navigate when they are facing hard realities. Andrew did everything to advocate for me & my children. My family & I have gone from surviving to thriving; we now live in a peaceful, joyful home. I highly recommend you speak with Andrew Taylor; whether your case is a simple one or more complex, to make sure all issues are properly addressed now and for your future.

When it became clear to me that my custody & child support situation was not going to come to a resolution without the courts getting involved, I was referred to Nichols Zauzig by a family friend who had previously had a wonderful experience with this firm while being represented by Paul Nichols. I cannot say enough amazing things in regards to the representation I have received by Paul Nichols. His knowledge of the law and ability to analyze a situation, (sometimes that situation could mean the second right before the court hearing is to begin) and to be able to quickly make the right decision for his client is completely remarkable. I wholeheartedly will continue to put my trust in him and highly recommend to others needing an amazing, experienced, results driven attorney to do the same.

We are appreciative and grateful for how our son’s child custody case was handled by Paul F. Nichols of the law firm, Nichols Zauzig. Mr. Nichols was the third and final attorney we hired who was finally able to understand the complexities of what proved to be a difficult and traumatic experience for all involved. Mr. Nichols explained everything in terms we could easily understand, was responsive to our questions and concerns and kept us advised of the status of the case. As a result of his exceptional expertise, we now have the opportunity to be grandparents and our son has the opportunity to be a father to his two children who were alienated from us by their mother. Through Mr. Nichols’ adroit understanding of the complex circumstances of this case, he was able to right the wrongs that had been done. His paralegal, Dana Lynn, is outstanding. Ms. Lynn was knowledgeable, compassionate and able to expertly respond to our inquiries and requests. We are all extremely pleased with the outcome of our son’s child custody, visitation and child support case and highly recommend Paul F. Nichols and his firm.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

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.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  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.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

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.
