Volin Employment has been invaluable to me as a small business owner. Rich created our employment agreements, reviewed my business contract and provides invaluable advice when needed.

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.

Alex Laufer took my case and represented me throughout a long and challenging insurance settlement following a vehicle accident that caused me irreparable injury and chronic pain. He worked the case with determination and resourceful strategy and obtained a settlement that was fair to all parties. Most important to me, he obtained that result with unquestionable integrity, and without causing animosity or ill will with the insurance companies and parties involved. When the case was concluded, everyone walked away from the experience with the sense that it was a routine business transaction. If I ever need a lawyer again, I will not hesitate to call Alex or his law firm for help.

Alex Laufer is a great attorney for many of your legal needs. I have used him for many areas dealing with real estate, real estate settlements, contracts and general business issues.

Mr. Laufar not only approached the case as requested, he also introduced other variables that resulted in a larger award. He explained parts of the law that we were not aware of at the time. Had we gone to Mr. Laufar 6 months earlier, we would have had a much larger award than obtained at the end of the case. If any follow-up work is required, we will definitely go back to Mr. Laufar and we do recommend him for any legal action.

Sean is the best trial lawyer bar none. We were under tremendous stress when our first house was wrecked by a number of contractors. When we contacted Sean, he stopped by our house and immediately put us at ease. In Sean we found a very skilled attorney who helped us strategize our case in the most cost effective and efficient manner. He will always try to settle matters amicably but will not hesitate to roll up his sleeves in court if needed. Having worked with him for an extended period, it has been our observation that he has a genuine desire to help other people, has a high level of personal integrity and exhibits a great degree of humility. He's calm, very thorough, and has always been exceptional at communication; responding to our every question promptly and professionally. He further distinguishes himself from his peers by naturally being empathetic with his clients - he's a great listener and he's able to instinctively put himself in other's shoes to build a profound sense of trust. Thank you Sean for always being there for us and being somebody we can rely on!

While we were unable to hire Mr. Roche due to time constraints, he devoted his time and energy to review, advise, and assist us.

He is open-minded and actively seeks solutions to issues that are novel or complex. We look forward to working with Mr. Roche and his firm as a possible general counsel for business affairs. You will not be dissatisfied with his attentive services.

My partner and I had the chance to be represented by Sean in a case regarding a breach of contract. First, he did not charge us a dime when we consulted with him and discussed the case several times to figure all other options before he took on the case. He represented us with honesty and a very high level of professionalism. I found him to be very personable and willing to answer any questions we may have had throughout the process. His expert knowledge and efficient work style secured a judgment in our favor. I highly recommend Sean Roach as your attorney.

The car I was driving was hit nearly head-on by an out-of-state, unemployed, uninsured, young-adult driver who never responded to his several court summons. I had to have two operations, plus I had to remodel my house in order to accomodate a wheelchair. I needed all the financial help I could get. Tracy knew exactly how to present my case to Medicare and to my backup Federal BCBS insurance, as well as to my car insurance company. Had I been on my own through this paperwork nightmare, I may have had to sell my house just to pay my bills. I was getting a lot of pain medication and I could not concentrate well...her patience and courtesy to me were outstanding.

I am a business owner who uses attorneys from time to time. Jim Lang is the best. He helped me fix a big problem
I had at the VMRC on a matter of great importance to me. This was not a simple case so it turned into a 4 year journey. Over that entire time Jim was always smart, tenacious, experienced, a great listener, and (most importantly) caring. A lot of road blocks popped up over the life of my case. Jim figured out a way over, around or through each one. Jim's deep contacts at the agency, and the credibility he has built up over his many years representing clients before the VMRC, turned out to be a resource that was very helpful in getting my case resolved in highly favorable terms. Another thing that I liked about Jim is that he kept me informed all along the way. I always knew exactly what was going on with my case. This attorney is a quality human being who is very good at what he does. Highly recommended!

Stacy is amazing. Highly stressed dealing with an estate that was not well organized when it was handed over to me. Stacy has a calming tone when describing next steps and what to look for. She was able to take what I saw as an insurmountable task into bite size, easy to complete steps. My friend had heard the end of the conversation, and fully agreed with my statements above.

I cannot thank Johnson and Masumi enough for their outstanding assistance with my green card application. After receiving a request for evidence (RFE), I was anxious and unsure of how to proceed. Their team stepped in with experience, professionalism and genuine care, guiding me through every step. They meticulously prepared my response to the RFE, ensuring every detail was addressed, which ultimately led to the approval of my case. Thanks to their hard work, I now have my green card. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of immigration assistance. They truly go above and beyond to deliver results!

I cannot recommend Johnson & Masumi, P.C. enough for their exceptional expertise, professionalism, and dedication to their clients. They handled my complex I-751 case with the utmost care and precision, demonstrating a deep and thorough understanding of immigration law.
From the very beginning, their team was meticulous in ensuring that every detail of my case was covered. They made sure every “t” was crossed and every “i” was dotted, leaving no room for error. I also appreciated their proactive communication; I was kept updated on the progress of my case every month, which gave me confidence and peace of mind during what could have been a stressful process.
Their comprehensive preparation and strategic approach ultimately led to the approval of my case, and I’m thrilled to have recently received my 10-year green card. I am incredibly thankful for their hard work, attention to detail, and commitment to my success.
If you’re seeking immigration attorneys who are not only knowledgeable and reliable but also genuinely invested in achieving the best outcome for their clients, Johnson & Masumi, P.C. is the firm to choose. They exceeded my expectations in every way, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

I cannot say enough great things about not only Ben but Allie!! I had a complex situation with a former employer and Ben was beyond helpful talking it out with me. We actually had several conversations all with him putting my best interests as the number one priority. In my prior careers, I’ve worked with and around several attorneys and there’s very few that aren’t out for themselves to make a quick buck…that was NOT the case with Ben!!! Allie was always amazingly nice and helpful when dealing with paperwork and scheduling! I didn’t have to reach out to them to follow up with anything, they were on top of it!! Hands down will refer Ben and Allie to anyone I know needing their services!! Absolutely amazing team and was beyond satisfied with their services!!

I'm sorry to say that, even though I was married in the Catholic Church, my wife divorced me in March of this year, 2019. It was traumatic of course but Sharon Lieblich not only did a great job as a lawyer, but as a human being. I truly grew to love her. She was recommended by my family's lawyer in NYC, and though she was more expensive than other lawyers in Virginia, she probably saved me half a million bucks. You can't beat Harvard lawyers!

At first, I didn't feel the lawyer was putting forth the effort to fight an injustice done to me by a sheriff's deputy. I was told that I was clocked doing 75mph in a 45mph zone. I knew that this was entirely false. The lawyer told me that the best I could get was lowering it to a speeding ticket if I didn't have any proof. Well, when we got to court, my lawyer stood up for me and asked the deputy to provide the evidence that I was driving recklessly. He could not. Case dropped!!! I got my justice. It felt good to have representation to plead my case. I got my money's worth.

I couldn’t have imagined going through such a painful even, without Julia in my corner, defending me at every step of the way. The level of knowledge that Julia has and her ability to showcase her years of experience in such a respectful but aggressive manor, makes the choice of retaining her, without a doubt, a decision that I will always be grateful for!

I just would like to leave this review about the law firm today . First off I obtained the firm for a civil case against a hotel in Virginia. I live in Boston Massachusetts so I wanted to hire a local attorney.
My attorney was Drew Stifel . So finally after 10 months I got a courtdate in September. I drove down from Boston with my 2 dogs . Went to court only to find out that the defendant was never served .
So basically my trip was for nothing .
I spent close to $1,000.
I was not happy so I asked to speak with Bob the Lead attorney . He agreed to pay my expenses and requested a bill .
This review isn't about the $ its about the level of service . Your attorney didn't do his job its a year later and I still haven't got anywhere with this case .
I was not happy so I called Bill up told him my concern and he didn't like the way I talked to him . Well guess what that dont matter because your law firm has done nothing but fail me in the period of a year . This is a result oriented buisness . You don't produce , You don't do your job you loose it dont help your buisness or help the client that hired you .
Trust me Bob your a lawyer with a signed contract . Do your job and stop making excuses and get tuff buttercup. We don't sugarcoat shit up here in Boston . We don't pussyfoot with people and use excuses . DO YOUR JOB !
Because you owe me 1k its real easy to cry and say I dont like the
way you talk I quit
Looks like your the next person to be served in the Commonwealth of Virginia
Truly Dissapointed

I couldn't be more pleased with the exceptional representation provided by Joseph in my custody case. His expertise, professionalism, and unwavering dedication to achieving the best outcome for my children and I were truly remarkable.
From the initial consultation to the final resolution, Joseph exhibited unparalleled commitment and legal prowess. His strategic approach, attention to detail, and demeanor made a challenging process much more manageable.
He was committed to learn my case from the get go, picking up with 30 days to trial, working with me side by side, taking my thoughts and feelings into consideration. We came up with a great game plan and performed beyond expectations.
Thanks to Joseph, I obtained a favorable custody arrangement that prioritizes the well-being of my children which should be the goal of any parent. I highly recommend Joseph to anyone in need of top-notch legal representation in family law matters.

He was extremely attentive regarding my concerns and provided so much guidance. He did a commendable job representing me and I now feel relieved and safe having the protective order issued. 10/10 recommend!

Larry Stein was initially recommended to me by a colleague. In 2019, I was contemplating filing an EEO complaint, and I reached out to Larry to inquire about legal representation. I was incredibly impressed with Larry’s attentiveness as I summarized the issues I was experiencing with my agency. He explained the law and offered me insights about whether I had a viable case. He also advised me to contact him if anything changed. A year later, a significant change occurred. I immediately contacted Larry and retained him for my EEO case, which continued for 20 months. Larry provided me with exceptional representation. He was a consummate professional who made himself available even after regular working hours. He has a strong character and demonstrates empathy with his clients. Given his high-level of experience, I felt comfortable and confident when relying on his professional judgment. I trusted Larry to make the right decision, and he always did. We eventually reached a resolution in my case in my favor thanks to Larry’s dedication and hard work. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of my case and with my experience working with Larry, who treated me as if I was a member of his family. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend Larry Stein to anyone in need of representation.

A lawsuit or dispute lawyer, often referred to as a litigation lawyer, specializes in handling legal conflicts between individuals, businesses, or organizations. These lawyers represent clients in civil lawsuits, helping to resolve disputes through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation in court. They can assist with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, property disputes, business conflicts, personal injury claims, and more.
If you are involved in a legal conflict and need representation, a dispute lawyer can guide you through the litigation process - from filing or defending against a lawsuit to negotiating settlements or representing you at trial.
When Should I Hire a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a lawsuit or dispute lawyer when you're involved in a legal disagreement that cannot be resolved informally and may require legal action. Common reasons to hire a lawyer include:
- Breach of contract: If someone has failed to fulfill the terms of a contract, a lawyer can help you file a lawsuit to seek damages or enforce the agreement.
- Business disputes: Whether it's a partnership disagreement, shareholder conflict, or a dispute with a supplier or customer, a lawyer can help resolve business-related issues.
- Property disputes: If you're involved in a dispute over property ownership, boundary issues, or landlord-tenant conflicts, a lawyer can assist in resolving the matter.
- Personal injury claims: If you were injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a lawyer can represent you in a personal injury lawsuit.
- Debt collection or defense: If you're being sued for unpaid debts or need to collect a debt owed to you, a lawyer can represent you in court or negotiate settlements.
- Employment disputes: If you're involved in an employment-related dispute, such as wrongful termination or discrimination, a lawyer can help you file a claim and represent you in court.
- Defending against a lawsuit: If you've been sued, a lawyer can defend you against the claims, challenge the evidence, and negotiate a settlement or represent you at trial.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your case is properly managed and that your rights are protected throughout the dispute resolution process.
What Does a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer Do?
A lawsuit or dispute lawyer provides a wide range of services to help clients navigate legal conflicts and seek resolution. Their tasks typically include:
- Evaluating your case: Reviewing the facts and evidence to determine the strength of your case or defense and advising you on the best course of action.
- Filing lawsuits or responding to lawsuits: If you're the plaintiff, the lawyer will file a lawsuit on your behalf. If you're the defendant, they will respond to the lawsuit and build a defense strategy.
- Gathering evidence: Collecting and reviewing evidence such as contracts, emails, financial records, and witness statements to support your case.
- Handling negotiations: Negotiating with the opposing party to reach a settlement before the case goes to trial, which can save time and money.
- Representing you in court: Presenting your case in court if a settlement cannot be reached, including presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and making legal arguments on your behalf.
- Exploring alternative dispute resolution (ADR): Suggesting mediation or arbitration as alternatives to a trial, which can be faster and less expensive.
- Drafting legal documents: Preparing and filing necessary legal documents such as complaints, motions, and responses, as well as drafting settlement agreements if a resolution is reached.
How Are Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyers Paid?
The fee structure for lawsuit or dispute lawyers varies depending on the complexity of the case, the type of dispute, and the lawyer's experience. Common payment methods include:
- Hourly rate: Many lawsuit lawyers charge by the hour, especially for cases that require extensive preparation, research, and trial work. Hourly rates typically range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Contingency fee: In certain cases, such as personal injury or breach of contract claims, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win the case, usually taking a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of the settlement or damages awarded.
- Flat fee: For specific services, such as filing a simple lawsuit or representing you in mediation, some lawyers may charge a flat fee.
- Retainer: In complex cases or long-term litigation, a lawyer may ask for a retainer, which is an upfront payment to secure their services. The lawyer will then bill against the retainer as they work on the case.
Discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how fees will be handled throughout the case.
