The headline is that Sarah Buskirk is the best lawyer I've ever encountered, working for a justly praised law firm. But the specifics mean everything. She was a calming presence on the phone, she answered with concise and informative responses via email, she looked into my eyes while explaining every step of the process, and then as if by magic, got my charges reduced to nearly nothing. But it isn't magic, it's skill and justified confidence. It's knowing who to tell and what to tell them, it's by being the best and caring what happens to her clients. The months I spent worrying, the hour and a half I spent waiting in the courtroom, all of the stress of it vanished because she knew what she was doing. Cannot recommend more highly.

My wife and I were plaintiffs in our suit against our Property Owner's Association (POA). Andrew Connors, Principal at Darkhorse Law PLLC, represented us on our case and did an admirable job throughout his multi-year engagement.
We observed several key strengths in Andrew over the two-plus years we worked with him:
- A subject-matter expert in POA law;
- Deep experience in litigation and Court procedures under Virginia's judicial system;
- A disciplined and thorough approach in developing an optimal legal strategy, always demonstrating a high level of awareness and empathy for the client's needs;
- A proactive, thoughtful, detailed and energized approach in the execution of each step of our legal strategy; and
- A wonderful demeanour. Andrew always treated us with respect. At each step, he patiently explained things to us and always made sure we understood the technical aspects of our legal strategy and agreed with it before proceeding.
We would definitely recommend Darkhorse Law to homeowners who feel their hard-earned property rights are being encroached or trampled upon by illegal actions of entitled, over-bearing POAs and litigation is the only recourse of the homeowners to restrain those POAs.

When you're searching for someone to help defend your reputation and your livelihood Darkhorse Attorneys is the go-to firm and the benchmark in intellectual property defense. They are proactive, razor sharp in technology and statutes and stay on top of the situation. They helped me conquer a challenging intellectual property and identity theft situation and I'm grateful that I put my trust in their capable hands.

My family and I have relied on Patrick T. Hand, attorney at law, since 2011, when we needed someone with the legal expertise to help us with a serious family probate matter. My severely schizophrenic sister suddenly stopped showing up for work – a job she’d had for 29 years. There was no way to communicate with her as she wouldn’t open the door or answer the phone. After four months, I became her court-appointed conservator in an emergency hearing to pay her bills and save her benefits, The judge tasked me with finding a legal guardian to look out for her since I live 3,000 miles away. Patrick T. Hand proved to not only be a knowledgeable attorney about probate division matters and mental health laws, but a good man in a storm – always there for my sister no matter how much she resisted his help through 14 hospitalizations, a missing car with multiple tickets, landlord and neighbor issues, an eviction, and now a stable and ideal living environment. If it were not for Patrick T. Hand’s expertise and fortitude, I’m quite certain my sister would be homeless.

We contacted PJI, Law to support our needs for a power of attorney and estate planning. We spoke with Jennifer Fox who provided a very thorough explanation of all the options that are available for seniors planning their Wills, POA, deed transfers, etc. I would recommend PJI, Law to others who are seeking the same types of service. Thanks - Jagdish & Kalpna.

Olesya is the most kind and personal attorney I have ever dealt with.
It is hard to find someone that is willing to take time out of their day to answer a question, or give advice that is probably second nature to them. She is that person.
She is so knowledgeable. She explains everything in full detail, she will even draw it out for you (or me) if you just still can’t understand until you. There is a lot of legal jargon and rules etc., that I simply don’t get.
If you’re thinking about getting an attorney then you probably need one. Go ahead and book an appointment with Olesya, you will not be disappointed!

I would whole heartedly refer anyone looking for a lawyer to help with the VA probate process.

My wife Mary Anne and I were recommended to Jennifer Lucey for preparation of an estate plan. We couldn't recommend Jennifer more highly: personable, professional, taking the time to first discern our needs and then advising us on several possible courses of action to accomplish our ends. We met with Jennifer in person several times and reviewed comprehensive drafts of the documents she carefully prepared, while she revised them to closely attune to our wishes. She is an absolute delight and a consummate professional. We are very pleased.

My husband and I were incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Michael Dietz on our estate planning process. We approached this task with a bit of resistance as in the past it has felt onerous and confusing -- our experience with Michael was completely different. His demeaner made us feel immediately comfortable and he made the whole experience simple and straightforward. He was responsive, thorough, and knowledgeable. I cannot recommend him more highly!

I could not have been more pleased with Kylie’s diligence and heartily recommend her legal services.

Emily Sripinyo is a Legal Superstar! 🌟
Emily Sripinyo truly went above and beyond in reviewing my prenup. Despite juggling a busy schedule with other court cases, she made sure to dedicate ample time and attention to my needs. The prenup, originally drafted by my fiancée's lawyer, was a daunting 37 pages long, filled with complex legal jargon. Emily was a beacon of clarity and support, consistently reminding me that my fiancée and I are on the same team. She meticulously sifted through the document, eliminating unnecessary terms and provisions, and brilliantly condensed it to a much more manageable 24 pages.
Her explanations were clear and thorough, making what seemed like an overwhelming task feel completely manageable. Emily's dedication, expertise, and personable approach made the entire process so much easier for me. I am incredibly grateful for her outstanding work and highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance. Emily Sripinyo is truly the best! 🙌✨

Exceptional Representation: Kylie
I can't express enough how grateful my roommate and I are for having Kylie represent us during our potential eviction ordeal. From the outset, Kylie's affordability, coupled with her exceptional communication skills, put us at ease. Throughout the entire process, she made sure we understood every step and procedure involved, ensuring transparency and clarity. Her dedication to our case was evident, and she went above and beyond to ensure a smooth resolution. Thanks to Kylie, what could have been a stressful experience turned into a manageable situation. We highly recommend her services to anyone in need of reliable legal representation. My roommate and I are young women with little experience of legal proceedings. I promise you won’t regret your decision!

I had a dispute with my tenant and was having a hard time dealing with their ridiculous claims, constant threats and refusal to leave the property on lease expiration. Ben handled the case from start to finish smoothly, always being professional, attentive and responsive. I was amazed how quickly he picked up on the case details and was very reassuring in my first conversation with him. He was polite, firm and very objective/calm with the tenants. His thorough knowledge and prompt action was instrumental in making the tenants leaving the property on time and without any ongoing issues. It was my first time using a real estate lawyer and the experience was excellent and hassle free. Thank you Ben!

They were upfront with the cost “very reasonable” and how things would proceed throughout the transaction. They stayed in touch via email and phone, where I was constantly updated on the progress. I highly recommend having Bray Law PLLC handle your home closings! Call Hope at extension #110, and you will not be disappointed.

I highly recommend Richard Volin. In my career I have had the opportunity to work with many employment lawyers. Richard is one of the very best. He is smart and engaged, has an excellent knowledge of employment law, and unlike many professionals, does not hesitate to bring in additional resources when needed. His client advocacy is strong, but not offensive. As a result, I believe he achieves better overall results in part because he is skilled at standing his ground with other attorneys without creating counterproductive animosity. I believe that Richard’s unique combination of tenacity, knowledge, and interpersonal skills yields excellent results, and I would not hesitate to work with him again.
