I had a lengthy property settlement & divorce. And it was because of her that we were able to keep it as amicable as possible. She first helped me through the Property Settlement. Followed by guiding me through the Divorce that followed. Patience was the key to my particular situation. But I know ifthe situation had called for more feistiness, she would have been right at my side for that, too. Everything is finalized now. And I know things would have been far worse and more stressful if I hadn't had her in my corner. Everyone at NOVA Legal Professionals that I've spoken with is kind and knowledgeable. I spoke most often with Corrie and Brenda Membreno (paralegal). Separation and divorce are, by their nature, unpleasant and emotional situations. But they were amazing at helping that sometimes complicated situation feel less overwhelming. She was the only attorney I have ever hired on my own, for any situation. But I did a lot of research before I did so and I read a lot of reviews. Her specialties and the other reviews seemed to say she'd be a good match for my situation. And the consultation I had with her confirmed that for me. Divorce lends itself to a lot of complicated feelings, but hiring her was never one I felt torn about. I'll always be grateful to her for helping me through this. Highly recommend.

Corrie is an exceptional attorney. She is incredibly knowledgeable and prepares thoroughly, but is also personally a wonderful person to work with. She is diligent, compassionate, and ethical while also being highly effective. Also, her expertise with special needs was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend her services!

Corrie was incredible to work with, you can believe everything they say on their website. She treated me and my divorce case with compassion, respect, understanding, and honesty. In my opinion, honesty shouldn't be understated in today's world. I happily settled in mediation. She was very well prepared for any eventuality that could come up. We used most of her preparation too. The opposing attorney wasn't as well prepared, and it made all the difference in the world for me and my case. I feel for anyone going through a divorce but very highly recommend Corrie Sirkin and Nova Legal Professionals!

Sarah stepped in to help me when I had no one to turn too. I could not find my previous attorney who was working my case and in desperation I came across Sarah with Manassas Law Group. After my consultation, I hired her immediately to finalize my Divorce. She was kind, considerate and listened to my concerns and in the end she got it done. Thank you Sarah and your paralegal Sydney because you were able to calm my nerves during a very difficult time in my life. Sarah is professional but felt like I was speaking to someone I’ve know all my life. I wish I could give you more than 5 stars. Thank you for everything.

I had a mistameanir in virginia on my way home to Illinois, was not aware of the sudden change of speed limit, when i was presented with a mistameanir and a court date, of course i was devastated. I reached out to Miss Kimberly Phillips, and Esha, and i have to admit Esha was caring and professional with all the information i needed, and Miss Kimberly phillips took care of case at court and bought the mistameanir to a ticket violation. The fine was bought down to 250.00 and i did not have to return to virginia. I really do not think i will ho back after the scare, but i highly recommend Miss Kimberly and Esha, they know what they are doing, and truely took my case in there hands. Thank You Miss Kimberly and Miss Esha from the Bostom of my heart. I appreciate you both. If you need a great lawyer from out of state, kimberly phillips is the lawyer to ask for!

Have you been told that you are worthless, not good enough, a failure, unaccomplished or Inadequate? Have you been told or made to feel incompetent, like you did not bring enough or really anything to the marriage, pretty much that your contribution to your marriage was not good enough. Have you been put down to the point of you losing your self esteem and confidence? Have you been subjected to emotional, mental and or physical abuse in your marriage? If you answered yes to any of the above questions and you want to redeem yourself, then the team of Brian Hirsh and Sharon Pederson is what you need on your side to represent you. Brian brings with him wealth of knowledge, passion, compassion and empathy. The question is will he accept to represent you. Sharon’s wealth of knowledge and attention to details makes her a powerful ally. The day Brian Hirsch and Sharon Pederson agree to represent you, is the day you begin to live again.

We asked for Mr. Yeargan’s help and he fully represented my brother and won the case. My brother was not found guilty in anyways. Mr. Yeargan is a welcoming professional attorney at law.

Priti is the rare kind of lawyer who combines brilliant expertise with a genuinely caring heart. The moment you meet Priti, you know you're in good hands. She has this wonderful ability to make you feel heard and understood, while also being refreshingly honest about your situation. There's no legal jargon or intimidating talk - just clear, straightforward guidance from someone who truly wants to help. Amazing part about Priti is, how she remembers everything you tell her, even small details you mentioned months ago. She listens with genuine interest and understanding, not just taking notes but truly absorbing your story.

She transforms into a powerful advocate while never losing her authenticity. She's thoroughly prepared, confident, and articulate - watching her in action, you can't stop feeling grateful that she's on your side. Her organizational skills are amazing. She's always prepared for whatever might come up, thinking several steps ahead to protect your interests. You can see how much she cares about getting things right for her clients. I particularly appreciated how she handled the financial aspects of my case. In a field where legal fees can be overwhelming, Priti was very reasonable and transparent. She actively guided me on ways to manage costs without compromising the quality of my representation. Her rates were fair, and she genuinely helped me make smart decisions about where to focus our legal efforts. What truly sets Priti apart is how she guides you through the legal process. She doesn't just handle your case - she makes sure you understand what's happening every step of the way. Whether you're heading to mediation or trial, she takes the time to explain your options and help you make informed decisions. There's never any pressure, just genuine support and expert guidance. If you're looking for an attorney who'll bring both exceptional legal expertise and genuine human understanding to your case, Priti is absolutely the person you want.

In a field where many lawyers can seem distant or impersonal, Priti stands out as someone who truly puts her heart into helping her clients while delivering outstanding results.

I am beyond grateful for the incredible support I received from Priti Khanna throughout my divorce process. From the very first consultation, she demonstrated a level of professionalism, expertise, and empathy that immediately put me at ease during such a difficult and emotional time. Priti took the time to listen to my concerns, fully understanding the intricacies of my situation and providing clear, practical guidance every step of the way. She communicated regularly, ensuring that I was always updated on the progress of my case and had a solid understanding of my options. What stood out the most was Priti's ability to negotiate with patience and determination, always keeping my best interests in mind. Her strategic approach helped to minimize stress, and thanks to her hard work, the outcome of my case was more favorable than I could have expected. If you're looking for a lawyer who is not only knowledgeable but also compassionate and dedicated, I highly recommend Priti Khanna . She made a challenging process much more manageable, and I’m grateful for her unwavering support.

I am in the trenches of a divorce. I have a 5 minute hearing via phone call to schedule a two hour circuit court hearing. I have a Caroline on retainer and its nearing its end of funds. I briefly had conversations with Caroline about POSSIBLY retaining other representation for a more aggressive attorney but nothing solidified. Caroline no shows to my 5 minute hearing/phone call. Even if she thought I had retained other representation which she knew I had not, she chose to not make time for me as a paying client. I am pretty surer this skirts the laws of some kind of malpractice. What is more is that Caroline nor anyone from Ambler warned me that they WOULD NOT continue representing me for trial. t would appear that Ambler Law is deathly afraid of trial. Now I find myself without representation as I am approaching my trial. As she is successfully avoiding helping a willing paying client or the court room. If you are navigating divorce and you seek representation that plays the terroristic game of practicing law to harass the other side of marriage to avoid trial then I would submit to you this is the law firm for you. If you seek representation that seeks not to get rich but to argue cases on behalf of those who seek justice, find someone else. Depending on how my trial and divorce goes, I may pursue taking Ambler law to trial or court for malpractice. Best of luck to you.

Mr. Daugherty handled multiple cases for me. I was involved in a very controversial separation to divorce. Although I tried to work with my ex toward an amenable resolution and get treatment for his addiction issues, my ex's family and the opposing lawyer made that difficult when they proceeded to file multiple fraudulent claims against me. Mr. Daugherty stepped in several times to assist - he even went out of his way to make sure I was aware of legal proceedings he found out about that were purposely filed by the opposing parties behind my back. Although the opposing party was highly unethical and attempted to circumvent or delay any proceedings they knew they would be unsuccessful in, Mr. Daugherty was straightforward and honest with me in options to deal with such. Unfortunately, my ex lost his addiction battle and passed away and I continue to fight his family to get the compensation that is owed me and my children; however, Mr. Daugherty's assistance in making sure I safely got out of an abusive situation was worth the cost. Mr. Daugherty is not only patient and understanding but is also ethical, straightforward, honest, and reliable.

I often encounter Shawn in court and he always conducts himself professionally and ethically. He is extremely knowledgeable, and I feel that Shawn really does have the best interest of his clients in mind. He is not an attorney that just wants to settle cases and move on. I often consult with him about legal issues, and he is always able to produce proper legal advice. Additionally, he has a wonderful relationship with the Judges and that goes a long way in criminal defense.

Most people loathe hearing from lawyers, a sentiment I certainly share, with the exception of Aaron Christoff. He treated my case and myself with genuine compassion, care, and kindness that I’ve never experienced before from an attorney. Amidst the mayhem and distress of family legal proceedings, I couldn’t suggest a more apt lawyer to retain for counsel. Without Aaron’s sensitivity, support, and emotional intelligence, I would’ve been far more miserable throughout my case. Furthermore, he possesses an extraordinarily vast knowledge of divorce laws in the DMV and a strategic mind that allows him to produce the most optimal results in any given case, regardless of its complexity. My situation was unprecedentedly nuanced, and Aaron maintained a professional demeanor and levelheaded attitude during every issue. Compared to other divorce lawyers, his rates are strikingly affordable, particularly given his rapid, thorough, and informative responses. Aaron works to ensure that his clients are not left with an additional burden of high billing that creates financial stress for families during an already painful time. Aside from my personal experience with him, Aaron’s position on the Fairfax Bar Association Legislative Committee proves that he sincerely strives to help his clients and improve the legal system for every individual in the area. Aaron is a phenomenal attorney and person, and I highly recommend him to anyone needing counsel.

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! 🙌✨

My custody battle went on for four years, and she defended my case and continued supporting me all the way. She is a very knowledgeable and detail-oriented attorney. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a good quality representation in a family dispute case.

I hired Jennifer to represent me in a court case involved my late husband's affairs due to no will. She is extremely compassionate, well informed of the laws in VA. She answers all questions promptly. I do not know how I would have been able to navigate the probate court system without. She is fair in her charges and looks for ways to save you the client money. I would whole heartedly refer anyone looking for a lawyer to help with the VA probate process. Kathleen G. Miller

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.

The Yoon Law Firm assisted me a few years ago. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the phenomenal customer service experience that they have provided me. All the staff were extremely caring, kind, and passionate. Based off of my experience, I feel that they care about each and everyone of their clients that they work with. I was extremely satisfied with the results and outcome and thanks again for their tireless efforts and compassion to ensure that I was taken care of. It is not easy to find people who are genuine and caring, but I am so blessed that I had the opportunity to have this law firm assist me. I would truly from the bottom of my heart recommend this law firm to anyone who needs any assistance based on their specialties.

I had a mistameanir in virginia on my way home to Illinois, was not aware of the sudden change of speed limit, when i was presented with a mistameanir and a court date, of course i was devastated. I reached out to Miss Kimberly Phillips, and Esha, and i have to admit Esha was caring and professional with all the information i needed, and Miss Kimberly phillips took care of case at court and bought the mistameanir to a ticket violation. The fine was bought down to 250.00 and i did not have to return to virginia. I really do not think i will ho back after the scare, but i highly recommend Miss Kimberly and Esha, they know what they are doing, and truely took my case in there hands.

Steven and his assistant Julia were and are the perfect professionals with the patience and expertise and experience to guide me through my first and hopefully last divorce. I was and am probably their most disorganized client ever and after a 30 relationship ended at total wreck. But there is light at the end of the tunnel and not only did they get me through the darkness but where and still are my most trusted councilors. It’s a tough process and they provide sound advice with positive results. It’s difficult to feel good but they helped to at least make me more financially stable and make sense of the legal process and still be there as this process and period comes to a conclusion and a new period begins. I’m more the wiser and better educated because of them. I highly recommend them.

Jason Weis represented me in a post-divorce matter to look at spousal support. This case was a bit more complicated and required hiring a couple experts and Jason was awesome throughout everything. The experts he suggested were excellent and really helped our case. He and his whole team were extremely detail oriented, kind and polite to deal with (which makes a HUGE difference to me), and were really thinking about every angle and aspect to make sure we presented the best possible case. In court, I was blown away. It was clear throughout our 3 days in court that he was the better attorney, made sure all our evidence was presented and we got everything in that we thought was important, and always kept a calm and focused demeanor. The case ended up better than I ever could have imagined and am SO thankful that I was able to find Jason. Jenny, his paralegal, was also great to work with and helped make sure all documents were provided, didn't miss anything, and kept everything for this whole case extremely organized. Can't recommend Jason Weis and his team any more highly!!

Kara was the second lawyer I called when looking for a family attorney. The conversation with the first was about 15 minutes long and left me with a vague idea of what I was in for and what evidence was needed to be successful. My conversation with Kara was an hour, and I knew 5-minutes into the conversation that I had found the RIGHT lawyer. She is detailed, thorough, and honest about your case and what is needed to succeed. She looks at all the options and contingencies. And furthermore, she won't just spend time to pad her invoices - my case was relatively straight forward, but she always had an eye on keeping the costs contained by coming to an agreement as fast as possible. I highly recommend Kara for your case - she will represent you aggressively and well.

I cannot recommend attorney Misha Lopez and his boutique law office highly enough! From the moment I stepped into their office, I felt valued and understood. Misha is incredibly attentive and truly client-focused. He took the time to learn every detail of my case, ensuring he was well-prepared for litigation. What sets Misha apart is his commitment to his clients. He is always available to answer questions and provides clear, thorough explanations of every step in the process. It's evident that he genuinely cares about the outcome and works tirelessly to achieve the best possible results. If you're looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and compassionate attorney, look no further than Lee Lopez Law and their team. They have exceeded my expectations in every way and made a challenging situation much more manageable. Highly recommended!

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Attorney Michael May for representing me at the hearing held today at the Arlington County Courthouse. From the very first day I contacted him upon a recommendation from another attorney, he personally reached out to me and spared no effort in advising me on all possible actions I could take leading up to the hearing date. Moreover, he provided detailed explanations and probabilities for every possible scenario, allowing us to devise a strategy together to achieve the best possible outcome. In addition, his professional knowledge, precision, and ability to confidently and effectively represent me in court were truly outstanding. I felt immense trust watching him engage with the officer who had stopped me, handling the situation respectfully yet confidently. If you are looking for an attorney who will genuinely advocate for you and achieve the best possible outcome under the circumstances, I confidently recommend seeking advice and assistance from Attorney Michael May. Once again, I deeply appreciate your help, Mr. May.

Watch out for last-minute deals when he gets you to sign something at the very last minute that he doesn’t warn you about they can actually define your reputation for the rest of your life. Don’t sign up for anything with Thomas until you get the fine letter print at least a week before you go to court because once you’re in court and you’re up against that… Overall, he’s a great attorney, but at the last minute when you think everything is wrapped up and a pretty little package, he will disturb you and make you sign something that you wish you never had signed off on.

What a Child Support Lawyer Can Do for You

A child support lawyer specializes in legal issues related to the financial support that one parent provides to another for the upbringing of their children. These lawyers assist with establishing, enforcing, and modifying child support orders, ensuring that the financial needs of the child are met, including housing, food, healthcare, education, and other essentials. A child support lawyer can also represent parents in disputes over the amount of support, ensure fair calculations based on income, and handle legal proceedings if one parent fails to meet their obligations.

Whether you're seeking to establish child support, modify an existing order, or enforce payments, a child support lawyer can help you navigate the legal system and protect your rights and the well-being of your child.

When Should I Hire a Child Support Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a child support lawyer when you need assistance with any of the following child support matters:

  • Establishing child support: If you are going through a divorce or separation and need to establish a child support order, a lawyer can help ensure that the support amount is fair and accurately calculated.
  • Modifying child support orders: If there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as a job loss, income change, or a child's financial needs, a lawyer can help you request a modification to the existing child support order.
  • Enforcing child support payments: If the other parent has failed to make court-ordered child support payments, a lawyer can help enforce the order through legal means such as wage garnishment, property liens, or even legal action.
  • Disputing child support calculations: If you believe the child support amount has been incorrectly calculated based on your income or expenses, a lawyer can help you challenge the calculation and seek a fair adjustment.
  • Paternity disputes: If paternity needs to be established before child support can be ordered, a lawyer can assist with DNA testing and legal proceedings.
  • Interstate child support cases: If the parents live in different states, navigating child support laws can be complex. A lawyer can help ensure the proper jurisdiction is established and that child support is enforced across state lines.
  • Child support during custody disputes: If child custody and child support are being determined simultaneously, a lawyer can help ensure that both issues are resolved fairly and in the best interest of the child.

Hiring a lawyer early can help ensure that your child support case is handled effectively and that your child's financial needs are met.

What Does a Child Support Lawyer Do?

A child support lawyer provides a variety of legal services to help parents secure, modify, and enforce child support arrangements. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Filing for child support: A lawyer can help you initiate the legal process to obtain a child support order, ensuring that all necessary documentation is submitted and deadlines are met.
  • Calculating child support: A lawyer can help ensure that child support is calculated fairly based on both parents' incomes, the needs of the child, and other factors such as healthcare and education costs.
  • Negotiating child support agreements: If both parents are willing to negotiate, a lawyer can help facilitate an agreement on child support outside of court, which can then be approved by a judge.
  • Representing you in court: If negotiations fail or the other parent contests the child support amount, a lawyer will represent you in family court, presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
  • Modifying support orders: A lawyer can help you file a request for modification if circumstances change, such as a loss of income or an increase in the child’s financial needs.
  • Enforcing child support: If the other parent is not making court-ordered payments, a lawyer can take legal steps to enforce the order through wage garnishment, property liens, or other measures.
  • Handling complex cases: In cases involving high incomes, self-employment, or complicated financial situations, a lawyer can help ensure that all relevant factors are considered in determining child support.

How Are Child Support Lawyers Paid?

Child support lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work required. Common payment methods include:

  • Hourly rate: Most child support lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. The total cost will depend on how much time the lawyer spends on your case, including preparation, negotiations, and court appearances.
  • Flat fee: For more straightforward cases, such as uncontested child support agreements or basic modifications, some lawyers may offer a flat fee that covers all services related to the case.
  • Retainer: Many lawyers require a retainer, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on your case. The amount of the retainer depends on the expected complexity of the case.
  • Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or provide pro bono (free) services in cases where clients cannot afford to pay full legal fees, especially when children’s needs are at stake.

It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will be charged and what services are covered.

How Much Does a Child Support Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a child support lawyer varies depending on the complexity of the case, whether it's contested or uncontested, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost estimates include:

Top Questions to Ask a Child Support Lawyer

Before hiring a child support lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they are the right fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with child support cases?
    Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s establishing, modifying, or enforcing child support orders.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees, or requires a retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and any potential challenges you may face.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Child support cases can take time, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what factors may cause delays.
  5. Will you personally handle my case?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court.
  6. What documents should I prepare?
    Ask the lawyer what financial documents and other information you should bring to help them calculate child support and build your case.

How to Check the Credibility of a Child Support Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable child support lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for family law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in family law and have successfully handled child support cases similar to yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on child support matters.
  • Check for certifications: Some lawyers may have certifications in family law or membership in organizations like the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), which can indicate their expertise in child support and family law issues.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most out of your first consultation with a child support lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Income documents: Bring pay stubs, tax returns, W-2s, or any other documentation of your income and the other parent’s income, as this will be used to calculate child support.
  • Existing child support orders: If there are any existing child support or custody orders, bring copies for the lawyer to review.
  • Child-related expenses: Provide documentation of your child’s medical bills, education expenses, daycare costs, and any other expenses that should be factored into the child support calculation.
  • Communication with the other parent: Bring any communication between you and the other parent regarding child support, whether through emails, text messages, or written agreements.
  • List of questions: Prepare a list of questions about your case, the legal process, and the lawyer’s fees.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice on how to proceed.
