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. His retainer fees were more than reasonable and we highly recommend Mr. Roche to anyone in need of legal assistance within his field of practice. 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.

I have referred others to Ibrahim Moiz and he did an excellent job representing them and making sure that their rights were protected. I personally have asked Mr. Moiz for legal advise on a number of issues, and he has responded promptly and provided me with excellent advise. He has a good grasp of the law, but more importantly, he has excellent extincts, and clearly takes pride in his work. He cares about his clients and keeps them informed every step of the way and is always gracious. Clients will feel like they have an advocate that truly cares about them and their case. I highly recommend his services to any one!

I am a professional and deal with attorneys on a regular basis in my work. I also retained several attorneys to handle various matters for me, but Mr. Culbertson proved to be among the best attorney I ever worked with or retained. Mr. Culbertson handled a custody-related issue for me during 2014, and provided excellent representation in my case that led to a successful outcome. He is a very capable, professional attorney that offers alternative approaches for addressing complex issues and does so in a simple and straightforward manner. He also suggests ways that allow the client to minimize attorney fees, and is very responsive to inquiries and questions that arise during the course of his representation. I would not hesitate to retain Mr. Culbertson in the future and would recommend him without any reservations to anyone looking for a highly skilled and experienced attorney in Fairfax County, Virginia.

I received outstanding representation in a highly disputed divorce and custody case. Mr. Culbertson was extremely attentive from start to finish. Nothing got by him. He is extremely professional and is careful about how he spends the time that you are paying for. This enables you to stretch your legal budget further which is especially important when you're headed for trial. I highly recommend him.

Lily Saffer is an excellent young lawyer with great legal skills, caring demeanor and strong customer skills. This young woman helped me defend against a Divorce proceeding being pushed by my wife's attorney. This attorney took advantage of my wife's health issues to push a case based on false information. The Divorce was eventually non-suited. Lily helped explain many confusing legal areas, was prompt in returning calls and/or e-mails and was extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Lily!

Ms. Saffer was handed a very complicated, long-running case when the prior attorney moved to another area in the country. Amazingly she quickly got up to speed on the many intricacies and prior twists and turns in my case. She also kept cool, calm and updated throught the a continued flow of orders and documents. She never overpromised and kept me aware of choices before me at all times. I kept winning judgements in my favor thanks to her and Jason Zellman.

Was dealing with possession of marijuana and possession with intent to distribute. Underage consumption of alcohol and possession of a weapon. Dark time in my life. Took care of my case and was always prepared. Got all of my serious charges dropped and always stayed in touch. Took stress off of my mind and told me to relax. Very confident in the court room. Would definitely recommend to others who are as well in a serious pickle with the law. Thank you Joshi for everything.

He was always available and completed the task quickly and successfully. He performed a miracle. It was also positive that the opposing attorney sang his praises. I would recommend him for any task he agrees to take on. He is smart, quick and efficient and his fees are reasonable.

I received a misdemeanor charge in a different state, which I was not convicted of. Unfortunately, the pending charge resulted in Fairfax County denying my CCW permit renewal without cause or due process. I found Mr. Frazer on VCDL's website and gave him a call to see if he could help me. Not only was his experience in firearms law vast and impressive, he also took a genuine interest in the application of law within this situation. He offered to work on either an hourly or flat fee, which was helpful as well. He kept in constant contact with me regarding both the case status as well as any information he might need from me. Mr. Frazer presented all legal options to me during the process. For example, should we have lost, it was wise to have a stenographer there so we would have a court record to appeal the decision. When we arrived at court, he presented a very well researched, developed and precedented argument. The judge was very impressed and agreed my case was "very well founded." John really helped me out, and was professional, honest and up front about the entire process. He helped me renew my permit which was denied on false grounds to begin with. I'm positive he is not only a good lawyer, but a good man, and has a firm grasp of the Constitution and the applied law associated with it.

Mr. Bronleyโ€™s team is top-notch, and we have nothing but praise for their work! I hired Bronley Law to protect my fatherโ€™s interests in a Virginia trust. After shortlisting three litigators in Fairfax, VA, Jonathan was the first lawyer we met. Immediately after our initial meeting, I knew he was the right person for the job. His team quickly obtained crucial information that we had been looking for for nearly a year. Later in the case, Alexis joined the team and did an excellent job, particularly with drafting legal documents and supporting Jonathan. Jonathanโ€™s team is highly capable, honest, and responsive. They provided clear guidance on our standing and the best course of action, regardless of the strength of our case, always acting in our best interest. As clients from a different country, we especially appreciated Jonathanโ€™s flexibility in accommodating virtual meetingsโ€”we worked together for over a year without meeting in person! Billing was seamless, with payment methods that were convenient and worked well for us as international clients.

I will continue to recommend Jonathan to anyone needing litigation in the areas of Trusts and Estates. When the chips are down, Jonathan is the lawyer you hope would be on your side.

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 calmโ€”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.

I originally booked a consultation last year with Pervaiz to discuss my options since I was going through divorce. I didn't have enough info for her during my 1 hour consultation so she cut my session short. So I ended up having a credit for 150$ from the 300$ hour consultation. After I finalized my divorce amicably with my ex, I decided to reach out to schedule a consultation to write a Will. No Money was collected for this appointment, I just reminded them I had the credit still in my account and they confirmed. I called and emailed the day of my appointment to let them know I had a 103 fever and that I was very sick and I am not able to discuss anything related to a "Will". I mean how could you? With a high fever!! This is a serious topic and you need you full brain capacity to do so!! Pervaiz refused to reschedule my appointment and they told me if I do not call at my appointment time that they will not allow me to reschedule. I was diagnosed with the flu and pneumonia and they can clearly tell I am not making my sickness up from the way I was coughing. I offered to send a doctor's note however she just decided to take the credit I have left with them instead of being empathetic with my situation! This clearly shows you that she doesn't care about people! And she just knew I had a credit and took it! Sickness happens and this unpredictable. I will not recommend her to anyone especially after what happened to me!

I retained Michael Pritchard for the purpose of representing me in a OPM suitability allegation. I provided him with all the information that I had dating back several years. Mr Pritchard conducted an in-depth analysis of all the information. Conducted legal research on based on the allegations against me. He prepared a very detailed argument against their allegation with a very detailed backing. Once he completed the appeal he sent it to me for review & approval. I quickly approved his well documented appeal & moved forward with the process. After a waiting period, I received notice that my appeal was determined "favorable"!! Without Mr Pritchard's assistance I'd likely be stuck on the outside looking in... I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Pritchard to anyone in need of legal assistance!!

I highly recommend Maureen Danker. Maureen is up front, honest and compassionate. From the beginning of my contentious custody case Maureen set my expectations. Maureen was very transparent in terms of cost. She was open and honest regarding the strength of my case to ensure I had the opportunity to weigh risk verses reward at every turn. When I made the decision to litigate my custody case, Maureen was all in. Her professionalism and knowledge in the court room was impeccable. I had several family members and friends in attendance, and they were in awe. My case was NOT a slam dunk. As we waited for the judgeโ€™s decision at the conclusion of trial, I was at peace knowing that no matter the outcome, Maureen left no stone unturned, nothing on the table and presented the best case possible. The judgment went 100% our way which is a true testament to Maureenโ€™s superior litigation skills. My equitable distribution case was settled out of court and again, Maureen set my expectations and gave me the information I needed to make decisions. Her outstanding negotiation skills provided me a settlement that exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for an attorney who is honest, compassionate and not looking to spend your money unnecessarily, Maureen Danker is the attorney for you.

Dan Rathbun and Dave Bateman represented me in a partition matter. Dan and Dave were experts in setting my expectations and providing insights on the most likely outcomes. My questions were responded to quickly and thoroughly using language and examples I could understand. While legal representation has its price, I walked away from each conversation/email knowing the path forward and feeling that I was getting the best representation and return on my investment. As a result of their strategic thinking and expertise, the court made a determination that was extremely favorable. I very strongly recommend Rathbun Bateman -- I would trust them again to represent my interests. Having observed Dave Bateman in deposition and trial settings, there is nobody I would rather work with. He is professional, quick on his feet, and used all available resources to secure my win.

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. Itโ€™s a tough process and they provide sound advice with positive results. Itโ€™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. Iโ€™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!!

Jon is the go-to expert for post-conviction matters in Virginia. He is exceedingly skilled, has more experience with post-conviction matters than any of his peers, and his work is as thorough as it gets. With post-conviction claims, you need a lawyer who knows exactly what to look for, searches for it with a fine-toothed comb, then has the legal acumen to turn what he found into a compelling argument for justice. That's exactly how Jon approaches every case. Highly recommended.

What a Litigation Lawyer Can Do for You

A litigation lawyer specializes in representing individuals, businesses, or organizations involved in legal disputes. Whether you're the one filing a lawsuit or you're being sued, a litigation attorney will advocate on your behalf throughout the entire legal process. Their goal is to resolve disputes, either through negotiation, settlement, or trial. Litigation lawyers can help with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, real estate issues, employment disputes, personal injury claims, and more.

Litigation lawyers provide strategic legal advice and manage all aspects of your case, from filing motions to representing you in court, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you have the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome.

When Should I Hire a Litigation Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a litigation lawyer if you're involved in a legal dispute that you cannot resolve on your own. Common situations include:

  • Breach of contract disputes: If a party to a contract fails to fulfill their obligations, a litigation lawyer can help you seek damages or enforce the agreement.
  • Business disputes: Litigation lawyers can represent you in cases of partnership disagreements, intellectual property disputes, or business fraud.
  • Employment disputes: If you're facing issues like wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, or wage disputes, a litigation lawyer can help resolve these matters through negotiation or court action.
  • Personal injury claims: If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a litigation attorney can help you pursue your case.
  • Real estate or property disputes: When there are conflicts over property ownership, boundary issues, or lease agreements, a litigation lawyer can assist in resolving the dispute.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process is beneficial, especially if a lawsuit seems imminent or you have already been served with legal documents.

What Does a Litigation Lawyer Do?

A litigation lawyer handles all aspects of your case, from the initial investigation to the trial and even the appeals process, if necessary. Their role includes:

  • Case assessment and investigation: Analyzing the facts of your case and advising whether itโ€™s worth pursuing or defending.
  • Pleadings and motions: Drafting and filing documents to initiate or respond to a lawsuit, including complaints, motions to dismiss, and answers.
  • Discovery: Gathering evidence, including depositions, interrogatories, and document requests, to build your case.
  • Negotiations and settlement discussions: Attempting to resolve disputes through mediation, arbitration, or settlement talks before going to trial.
  • Trial representation: Presenting your case in court, examining witnesses, introducing evidence, and making legal arguments before a judge or jury.
  • Appeals: If necessary, filing appeals to challenge or defend the outcome of the trial.

Litigation lawyers are also skilled negotiators and often work to resolve disputes outside of court to save time, money, and stress for their clients.

How Are Litigation Lawyers Paid?

Litigation lawyers typically use a variety of fee structures depending on the type of case, the complexity of the legal matter, and the financial circumstances of the client. Common payment arrangements include:

  • Hourly rates: Many litigation attorneys charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and geographic location.
  • Flat fees: For specific, predictable legal tasks (such as filing a motion), lawyers may offer a flat fee.
  • Contingency fees: In personal injury or other cases where you seek damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, taking a percentage of the settlement or award if you win.
  • Retainer: Some clients pay a retainer fee upfront to secure ongoing legal services. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as work is done.

The exact structure should be discussed in the initial consultation to ensure you understand how and when you'll be charged.

How Much Does a Litigation Lawyer Cost?

The cost of a litigation lawyer varies significantly depending on the nature of the dispute and the lawyerโ€™s experience. Factors affecting the cost include:

  • The complexity of the case: More complex litigation involving extensive discovery, expert witnesses, or multi-party suits typically costs more.
  • Time spent: Litigation cases can be time-consuming, especially if they go to trial. The longer the case, the higher the legal fees.
  • Type of fee arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $200 to over $1,000 per hour, depending on the lawyerโ€™s reputation and location. Contingency fees generally range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award.
  • Stage of litigation: Cases that settle early in the process are often less expensive than those that proceed to trial or appeal.

Itโ€™s crucial to ask about cost estimates during your initial consultation to avoid surprises.

Top Questions to Ask a Litigation Lawyer

Before hiring a litigation lawyer, it's essential to ask key questions to ensure you're choosing the right representation:

  1. What is your experience with cases like mine?
    Ensure that the lawyer has experience handling your specific type of dispute, whether it's a contract issue, personal injury, or business matter.
  2. What are the potential outcomes of my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case's strengths, weaknesses, and the likelihood of success.
  3. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify how you'll be charged, whether by the hour, a flat fee, or on a contingency basis.
  4. How long do you expect my case to take?
    While it's hard to predict, an experienced lawyer can give you a rough estimate based on similar cases.
  5. How often do you settle cases versus going to trial?
    Some lawyers are more inclined to settle, while others may be more experienced in the courtroom. Itโ€™s important to understand their strategy.
  6. What is your approach to resolving disputes?
    Some lawyers prefer aggressive litigation, while others focus on settlement or mediation. Choose one whose approach aligns with your goals.

How to Check the Credibility of a Litigation Lawyer

To verify a litigation lawyerโ€™s credibility, consider the following steps:

  • Check bar association records: Ensure the lawyer is in good standing with the state bar and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Online reviews can provide insight into the lawyerโ€™s professionalism and track record.
  • Look for litigation experience: Review the lawyerโ€™s website or professional profile to ensure they have handled cases like yours and have a record of success.
  • Request references: Ask the lawyer to provide references from past clients who can speak to their effectiveness and approach.
  • Research their trial experience: If your case is likely to go to trial, ensure the lawyer has a history of courtroom success.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make your first consultation with a litigation lawyer productive, you should prepare the following:

  • A clear outline of the dispute: Provide a timeline and key details about the legal issue you're facing.
  • Any relevant documents: Bring contracts, emails, letters, or any other documentation that pertains to the case.
  • A list of key players: Provide the names of individuals or companies involved in the dispute.
  • Questions about fees and the litigation process: Make sure you understand how the lawyer plans to approach your case and how you will be charged.
  • Your goals and expectations: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, whether it's a settlement, compensation, or another resolution.

By coming prepared, you can ensure that your initial meeting with the lawyer is both efficient and insightful, giving you a better sense of how to proceed with your case.
