I just finished a lengthy divorce process with Livesay & Myers. Ms. Haight and Ms. Spurgeon are a phenomenal team! I used this firm in particular as I needed someone who understood military divorces/laws and they certainly have that experience!
They are honest, professional and I am very pleased with the services I received. I would absolutely use them again in the future if needed.

Mariah and Rossimar helped me through my contempt and custody matters. They are both amazing and I absolutely recommend them. They made sure to explain everything to me in detail and what options were available, all while respecting the time (money) it took to respond to all my many questions. Over the years I met with a few different attorneys for this matter, but did not feel comfortable with any of them until I met with Mariah for my consultation with Livesay & Myers. I’m so glad I decided to go through with the legal proceedings and am very happy with the representation that I had. Very personable, knowledgeable, and worthwhile.

When I say Mr. Simms is a phenomenal attorney, I mean that in every sense of the word, phenomenal. He is truly dedicated to his work, and he stops at nothing to obtain the best possibly outcome. I was charged with a petit larceny charge that could have ruined my entire life and that of my family as well as my career. Mr. Simms made a 4 hour trip to represent me, and was able to get me a dismissal! If you want a knowledgeable, kind, hardworking attorney, and an attorney that strives to get a dismissal or not guilty verdict, then Mr. Simms is the attorney you need. He won’t disappoint! Thank you Mr. Simms for not only representing me, but for making the drive to represent me, and for not settling for anything less than a dismissal, and that’s exactly what you got for me. I will be eternally grateful for your devotion to my case, and for getting me the verdict of dismissal. I owe you my life for what you did. Thank you sir for representing me! You’re simply phenomenal in every sense of the word, and your kindness will never be forgotten!

Phone calls were promptly answered. I was kept informed during the investigation of the accident.

We contacted the Law Office of James Steele for help with a family member's time sensitive court issue. Within the hour, the incredibly helpful office practice manager had secured an attorney who could be available to take the case right away. We did not know Ms. Henderson before, but the way she attended court and expertly and professionally engaged with the judge, prosecution, and officers, showed her ease and skill in that arena. Every authority in uniform in that courtroom was actually happy to see her. She is clearly considered a professional in high regard. I was surprised at the excellent outcome she was able to secure for my family member. She was calm, kind, and reassuring. While I hope to never have occasion to need an attorney in the future, if we do, Ms. Henderson will be my first call.

After unsatisfactory experiences with previous counsel, I was referred to Jen by a friend. During our initial consultation, I was immediately drawn to her expertise and approach. Unlike my previous attorney, Jen was responsive and accessible. She promptly returned my calls, texts, or emails within 24hours, a testament to her efficient management of her clientele.
As this was my first divorce, I was unfamiliar with the legal process. Jen patiently explained the intricacies of the proceedings and guided me through the necessary steps. Her candid and straightforward approach fostered a trusting relationship. If you seek an attorney who prioritizes your well-being while maintaining professionalism, I highly recommend considering Jen as your legal representative.

Attorney Anderson was absolutely phenomenal. I contacted her just weeks before my court date and she provided me with much needed information to get the case dismissed. I was extremely pleased with her communication and thoroughness. I will definitely ask that she represents me if I am to require representation in the state of Virginia again.

Horrible experience with this place. They are way overpriced for the quality of service they provide. They give horrible advice and not very good representation from this place. Our attorney, Elizabeth Smyers, and her assistant were horrible at communicating, demanding us to meet their deadlines while completely allowing the other party to not provide court required information that was needed. Then, withdrew from our case to leave us in a bad position for upcoming court. Please do yourselves a favor and stay away from them

A Heartfelt Recommendation for Charles Inch, Attorney at Law
If you are looking for an attorney who is not only incredibly intelligent and skilled but also deeply empathetic and caring, I cannot recommend Charles Inch enough. Charlie is a true gem in the legal profession—someone who is not just focused on “winning” a case but on genuinely supporting his clients through some of the most difficult times in their lives.
When I was facing a custody battle with my ex, I felt like my world was falling apart. My ex had been blocking my access to my child, and I was emotionally shattered. That’s when I found Charlie, and he quickly became a source of hope and strength. Unlike many law firms that prioritize billable hours and courtroom victories, Charlie stood out because of his genuine concern for my mental health and well-being.
Throughout the process, Charlie was diligent and compassionate. He took the time to listen to my concerns, validate my feelings, and make sure I felt supported every step of the way. He didn’t just focus on the legal aspects of my case; he made sure my emotional needs were addressed too. His approach was nothing short of transformative.
Thanks to Charlie’s expertise and dedication, we were able to successfully arrange a child visitation agreement without incurring astronomical legal fees or unnecessary emotional distress. I’m now able to hug and kiss my child again, and I no longer feel trapped in a never-ending cycle of court battles. What could have been a drawn-out and painful process was resolved efficiently and compassionately, all because of Charlie’s tireless efforts.
Charlie is more than just an attorney—he’s an emotional healer and a true advocate for his clients. In my darkest moments, he offered me guidance, support, and a path forward. His kindness, intelligence, and unwavering commitment to his clients set him apart from anyone else in the field.
If you’re in need of legal help, especially during emotionally challenging situations, do yourself a favor and reach out to Charles Inch. I am forever grateful for everything he’s done for me, and I’m proud to offer my heartfelt endorsement of him as both an exceptional attorney and a wonderful human being. Thank you, Charlie, for everything!

Mr. Inch truly takes the time to make sure you are heard and you are completely involved in his process. His approach provides both profound and holistic healing. He provides a complete foundation for individuals going though an overwhelming time in there lives, while making you feel in control and cared for. I never once felt alone, or like I was part of the system. He is both respected and admired amongst his peers, and in the courtroom his name is known. His presence will be felt and his message will always have your best interest in mind as he represents you. His analytical and strategic mind will put you at ease as he develops the best possible outcome for your case. His approach is bold, and is always respectful. He will always providing purpose for his strategy. Adaptive, he continually was forthcoming with his blueprint and was willing to provide any incite to my questions. He was humble and helpful during the whole process. I appreciated his unique and insightful ways to reach internal peace and healing. Some may consider his method to be unlike anything you may have heard of, but trust and heed his council. Your life will change in an unexpected and extraordinary way. He has my full trust, and my highest recommendation.

I am writing this as a follow up from my initial Google review (which was also 5 stars)….I felt compelled to say thank you again. Charlie helped me navigate a difficult custody case in another state. I had hired an attorney in that state but just didn’t feel like I was being heard (and certainly not understood). With Charlie’s help and advice, the client-lawyer relationship was able to form and help me feel more comfortable with the out-of-state lawyer. More importantly, he guided me through past trauma to help me feel empowered and in control. While I do feel much more confident in my lawyer’s ability to get the outcome we need, there is a big difference in bedside manner. Charlie puts your mind at ease while also giving you the advice you are seeking. He truly cares!

Sarah Knapp and the Shounbach team were truly pivotal in guiding me through my divorce. Sarah is not only a highly skilled attorney but also incredibly kind, patient, and calm—qualities that make all the difference during such a difficult time. I always felt supported and knew she was advocating for my best interests every step of the way. Divorce is messy, emotional, and overwhelming, but having an attorney like Sarah in your corner brings a sense of clarity and peace. I can't recommend her enough.

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!!

She shared information with my spouses attorney that obviously was shared with him. No client attorney privilege here. Kate is not trustworthy and if she doesn’t like other attractive females should probably avoid taking their cases. As u can see, I’m not the only women who left this sort of review. Stay away from this firm. I think she’s the reason why so many bad reviews now.

I am deeply grateful to Mr. Manuel Leiva for his outstanding support and dedication during a case involving my friend, who faced false allegations of rape. Despite the other party’s loud and misleading claims, Mr. Leiva remained composed, focused, and detail-oriented. His professionalism and attention to even the smallest facts ensured that the truth prevailed, ultimately leading to my friend’s exoneration. Mr. Leiva’s integrity and commitment to justice are truly commendable, and I highly recommend him as a skilled and dependable advocate.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding work Manuel Leiva did in defending me in a protective order case that was unjustly filed by my wife. From the very first consultation, Manuel demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep expertise, and genuine care for my situation. He took the time to thoroughly understand the details of my case, leaving no stone unturned in building a robust defense.
Throughout the process, Manuel was a true advocate for my rights. He communicated with clarity and confidence, ensuring I was fully informed and prepared at every stage. His ability to navigate the complexities of the law was evident in the courtroom, where his sharp legal skills and compelling arguments led to a complete dismissal of the case.
Thanks to Manuel’s dedication and tireless efforts, I am now able to move forward with my life. He brought not only legal expertise but also compassion and understanding during a very challenging time. I wholeheartedly recommend Manuel Leiva to anyone in need of a highly skilled and trustworthy attorney. He is, without a doubt, the best advocate you could have in your corner.

Ben Ader and his team worked wonders! After the loss of my wife, my daughters student loan fell into default and a collection agency came after her. (my wife had co-signed her loans) I met with Ben and explained our situation. After he warned me there was zero guarantees, I hired him anyway. Benjamin Ader was able to negotiate with them, dropping our balance to a mere 40% of the balance that was due. His work went far above our expectations, and removed a huge burden for our family. I would highly recommend Benjamin Ader.
I originally found Tate Bywater on a Youtube video on negotiating student loans. THANK YOU Tate Bywater for providing an excellent resource to help families in trouble. I commend you for hiring Ben, he's a very professional, and friendly young man.

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!!

Mrs. Wood Hanna guided me through a recent family law issue.
Her advice was direct and to the point. She provided plenty of context to help me set expectations and weigh my options. For my relatively minor issue, her pricing was reasonable and straightforward.
I highly recommend her for your family law legal needs.

I met with Mr. Kunberger to explain my complicated custody situation. He was very easy to talk to. He made sure to clarify he was understanding all the information I was giving to him. He went over what the best approach will be and explained, in detail, what is needed to help the judge understand why the children are not in a safe environment. I feel very confident about my case and will be retaining Mr. Kunberger to represent me. I could not have asked for a better person to go through this with. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a great and knowledgeable attorney.

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.
Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?
Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
- Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
- Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.
- Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.
- Domestic violence or restraining orders: If you're a victim of domestic violence or being falsely accused, a lawyer can help you obtain or challenge protective orders.
- Paternity cases: If there are questions about the paternity of a child, a lawyer can help establish or dispute legal fatherhood.
Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.
What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?
A family law lawyer provides a wide range of services depending on your specific legal needs. Their responsibilities may include:
- Advising on legal rights and options: Helping you understand your legal rights regarding divorce, child custody, support, and other family law issues.
- Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
- Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
- Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.
- Enforcing court orders: Helping you enforce court orders related to child support, alimony, or custody if the other party fails to comply.
- Drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: Creating agreements that protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
- Handling adoption proceedings: Ensuring that the legal process of adoption is followed, from filing paperwork to finalizing the adoption in court.
How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.
How Much Does a Family Law Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a family law lawyer varies based on factors such as the lawyer's experience, the location, and the complexity of your case. Here are some general cost guidelines:
- Hourly rates: Family law lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
- Retainers: For more complex matters, such as contested divorces or custody battles, lawyers may charge a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. The lawyer will bill against the retainer for the work they do on your case.
- Additional costs: You may also be responsible for additional costs, such as filing fees, mediation fees, or expert witness fees.
Always ask for a clear breakdown of the lawyer’s fees and any additional expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
