If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and thorough attorney specializing in post-conviction matters, I highly recommend Jon Sheldon. I initially sought his help for my relative’s case after being referred by another attorney who called him to be “magical”. That recommendation proved to be true.
Unlike some attorneys who might give false hope or overpromise, Jon was upfront about the challenges and realistic about potential outcomes. What truly impressed me was his attention to detail—he carefully reviewed every aspect of the case to ensure nothing was overlooked. Jon identified a few paths forward, showcasing his deep expertise in post-conviction law and even got one of the petitions granted despite it being past the statue of limitations which is super rare!
If you're considering a consultation, it's well worth your time. Jon is the kind of attorney who genuinely cares about his clients and works tirelessly to explore every possible avenue. I couldn’t have been more grateful for his help in my relative’s case.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Ms. Andi Geloo for her exceptional representation and remarkable professionalism. Ms. Geloo's courteous demeanor, extensive knowledge, and outstanding communication skills made a significant impact on my experience. Throughout the process, she treated me with the utmost respect and care, making me feel as though I were part of her own family.
In moments of uncertainty, Ms. Geloo was a reassuring presence, helping to ease my concerns with her calm and thoughtful guidance. Even when I sought her counsel regarding a deeply personal and traumatic situation, she demonstrated sincere attentiveness and genuine concern for my well-being.
Ms. Geloo, I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with you. Your unwavering dedication, both as a lawyer and as a person, is truly inspiring. I am profoundly thankful for your support and guidance. May you continue to excel in all that you do, as your remarkable character and professionalism have touched many lives, including mine.
Thank you again for everything.

Tim McEvoy represented the interests of us co-executors in a Fairfax County Civil Court trial regarding a dispute over interpretation of a Will with respect to the distribution of assets from the sale of my step-mother's house. He was engaged, prepared and knowledgeable in the interpretation of the legally dense articles of the Will. I highly recommend Tim to any executors facing a Fairfax County Commissioner's hearing or a trial defending any exceptions thereto.

Wayne is not only a fantastic litigator and attorney, but someone I now consider a friend. Wayne takes time to explain things to you, work through your issues, and listen to any issues and concerns you have. Always a phone call or email away, Wayne responds on the weekend if you need him. Mr. Bigg's unparalleled dedication to excellence comes through with each client he has the opportunity to work with.

I cconsider myself so fortunate to have had Mr. Zellman (with Lily Saffer) on my case. He was thoroughly prepared having thought through multiple scenarios at every stage -- whether in the courtroom or out. His knowledge and prep work made him invaluable in settlement negotiations and somehow helping me to understand the pro and cons of every proposal and counter offer. The end result? Highly satisfying outcome for me.

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!

Sharon is an extremely experienced attorney with an excellent background for over decades. Using an attorney is extremely expensive and I've been happy with the ways she's tried to help cut the bill without giving up any rights. I just wish my STBX's attorney had the same approach.

Ms. Masin worked extremely hard alongside me to determine the best way to handle each situation as it arose during my separation and divorce. She represented me very well in court and could think quickly on her feet. She made decisions in the moment, based on her extensive experience in the courtroom, which resulted in successful litigation on my behalf. She is open minded and gives honest and forthright opinions and advice regarding legal situations. Her solid integrity is a testimony to her successful reputation. She helped me tremendously and I am convinced she will give the same work ethic and integrity to all her clients in any legal situation. Ms. Masin is highly recommended by me and I have already referred her to many friends.

Erin Masin, is absolutely excellent. She is thorough, well studied, (very knowledgeable), has an incredible memory, and is like an AI engine when in court; she knows exactly what to say, and when to say it as she is dynamic and can shift gears on a dime all while making it look rehearsed for a week. Her placement, and logical order of *points and *arguments, will leave you wondering if she's also a mathematician. Let the other side beware of this lawyer.
Also worth mentioning - her court presence (examination and cross-examination) is right out of a movie. Her summary/closure statements are second to none.

I had the pleasure of being represented by Monica Sameni at Powell Radomsky during my divorce case, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Monica was incredibly organized, knowledgeable, and compassionate throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand my situation (which involved a divorce case spanning two states), provided clear guidance, and always kept me informed. Her expertise and dedication to my case ensured a fair outcome, and I felt supported every step of the way. Furthermore, Monica's ability to balance the necessary legal procedures with cost efficiency ensured that I received excellent representation without unnecessary expenses. I highly recommend Monica and the Powell Radomsky law group to anyone in need of an outstanding family law attorney.

After being charged with DWI, dealing with other attorneys who had given up on my case and being left in the dark with almost zero chance of success was tremendously stressful.
After contacting him, he is not only shown care but also taken the time to hear my side of the story and have treated me as more than simply a client. As a result, I’ve started to experience a wave of relief.
Although, I had a very slim chance for a favorable outcome he made tireless efforts using his exceptional case-building skills and professionalism. He went through the intricate details of my case.
Prior to court date he was ready to fight hard for my case in every direction using clever, clear and great plan of action to argue and strategically invalidate the prosecutor’s contention.
He always returned my calls and emails and always gave me the assurance that we would get through that trying time. His experience and insights have driven my case from the beginning and have given me immense confidence.
He arrived at court with assurance and tenacity. He provided a conclusion for my case that exceeded my expectations. I could not have asked for anyone better, and I am in awe of his legal knowledge.
With the help of his dedicated assistance and competent legal counsel my charges dropped down. I’ll never forget the value of his services to my family and I. He was not only helping me to get back to the life by alleviating my stress and anxiety; he had also much surpassed what I expected and made me to feel that he was not only an excellent attorney, but an angel sent by God.
Words cannot convey how much I’m very appreciative for his entire legal service & I would 1000% recommend his representation.

Came out to look at an issue we were having with our home builder. Asked us to write up a summary and they would let us know what options we have. I took the time to put together a detailed summary and never heard back. I followed up with them and they said they would give me a call, and never did. If you don’t want the work or don’t think we have a good case, why not just say so to my face instead of wasting my time?

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!

I got in my first major car accident last year in November and it was a major blow financially and emotionally for me because it wasn't my fault at all and I had no idea where to turn too for legal help. By the grace of God my fiancee's coworker suggested this law firm for my case because he had such a good experience with them and let me tell you he wasn't lying. Throughout the whole process so far they have been so helpful and nice making this traumatic experience for me so much easier to get through. While recovering from my injury they even sent little care packages! Me and my fiancee thought that was so nice of them, For them to go out of there way to do that for us. I have full confidence in them resolving my case and hopefully this review helps someone else reach out to get the help and compensation they deserve as well. God Bless this law firm for helping so many people at a time where, like me is so traumatic and hard, and when it seems like there is no where to turn for good help.

He was highly professional, friendly, and clearly very knowledgeable in this area. He was very direct in which services of his we may or may not need, unlike some personal injury lawyers who just try and squeeze as much money as possible from their clients. I highly recommend him. Thank you Jim.

The person took notes and wouldn't answer my one question. I informed him that the following day would be better for me to talk fully to his boss if he wasn't the one who couldn't answer my question. He said okay he understood, someone will call me. but no one ever called me the next day like I was informed that they would. Also the call never ever came, at all for any day that week.

After scouring Google for a fair/reputable law firm that I trusted to handle my uncontested divorce I came across Virginia Family Law Center.
I knew after visiting their immaculately detailed website that my search was over. The site allowed me to see early on just how welcoming, transparent, and dedicated the staff at this law firm is.
From the very first interaction in addition to speaking with Ms. Carroll during my initial free consultation I knew that I could rest assured and trust VA Family Law with my individual situation.
As a 1st time divorcée to say that my nerves and emotions were naturally heightened would be an understatement. Yet throughout it all VA Family Law held my hand every step of the way. They never complicated the matter further by adding any uncertainty or confusion to the mix.
The entire process was seamless from beginning to end. All of my questions and concerns were acknowledged, validated, and dealt with accordingly. All of my emails and/or phone calls were swiftly returned & answered I was never left hanging.
I was assisted closely by Ms. Medina, Ms. Carroll, and Ms. Herrera. I have to say these professionals are quite the dynamic trio. They are the epitome of tact, empathy, and servitude. They went above and beyond to resolve this delicate matter for me and I am eternally grateful.
However, I would like to commend the entire staff at VA Family Law Center. Since I know that each individual brings something to the table as far as the law firms overall credibility and efficiency goes.
Honestly, I was brought back to life with each instructive email and every heartfelt update. The guestimated time frame for my divorce to be finalized was 2 to 3 weeks and everything was wrapped up exactly at the 2 week mark.
I don't want to jinx it but I know in my heart if I ever have to get a divorce again I will be reaching out to y'all immediately!
Ps. I will be referring all of my loved ones that need legal assistance, divorce wise and beyond to you all without hesitation.
Warmest Regards,
Ms. M Marks

Mr. Brian Drummond came highly recommended to my family by a trusted friend, and we now know why. Mr. Drummond is an outstanding lawyer and human. He supported our family when both of my sons were dealing with 2 different court issues in 2 different counties at the same time.
He quickly responded to my many messages and questions and continually went above and beyond to support my boys in their different situations! Both court issues ended with the best outcome possible thanks to his knowledge and fantastic pre-court advice.
He treats his clients with respect, humor, and empathy.
I highly recommend Mr. Drummond if you need a lawyer.

My case was a somewhat complex domestic situation, a misdemeanor charge that could have resulted in jail time. During my first consultation, Senator Surovell listened to my concerns, patiently answered all of my questions, and made suggestions that helped my case. In the intervening months between the charge and my trial, Scott promptly responded to any questions or concerns that came up. Being charged with any crime is scary, and you need a well-informed lawyer to navigate the murky, sometimes treacherous territory of our criminal justice system. I knew that Senator Surovell had a reputation as one of the best defense lawyers in Fairfax County. And he lived up to that reputation Thanks to his skillful handling of my case, the charges were dropped. I could not have asked for a better outcome, and I will be forever grateful for his help during a difficult time in my life.
Novelist Raymond Chandler once said, “The law isn’t justice. It’s a very imperfect mechanism. If you press exactly the right buttons and are also lucky, justice may show up in the answer.” Hiring Senator Surovell was exactly the right button to press.

I was charged with a DWI and Civil Refusal back in February and was terrified of the consequences a conviction would entail. Fortunately, a friend referred me to Scott Surovell who agreed to represent me and set a plan in action from our very first call. He helped me understand how the process would take place and our strategy for my defense. As my Court date approached, we continued once before finally going before the Arlington County General District Court. The State Prosecutor had not offered any plea deals so it was to go to trial.
Scott was a masterful trial attorney. It was impressive to watch him work and gave me confidence we would come out with a positive ruling. After he dismantled the Prosecution, it was agreed that the Charge would be reduced to Reckless Driving and the Commonwealth would Motion to Nolle Prosequi the Refusal Charge. This was a HUGE relief. I cannot thank Scott enough for his work on my case and would recommend him to anyone seeking a Defense Attorney.
10/10, 5-Stars, 2 thumbs up, the best attorney I have ever interacted with.

Outstanding attention to the full history, context and details of the matter by Samantha in the firm. Very patient with me explaining the best options to resolve a contentious estate situation that had gone on for 3 years previously where another very strong firm was on the other side using "low-ball, then delay then obfuscate, then avoid" tactics with my prior counsel. Once formally engaged on the case, Samantha resolved the entire matter w/in approx 4 months for a reasonable fee as well considering the amount of time invested in the process (Expect it to be a process of back and forth and attrition BTW!). I couldn't be more pleased with the firm, Samantha and Kara's professionalism, teamwork or the positive results for my family's future!

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 it’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 lawyer’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 lawyer’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.
It’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:
-
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. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case's strengths, weaknesses, and the likelihood of success. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify how you'll be charged, whether by the hour, a flat fee, or on a contingency basis. -
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. -
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. It’s important to understand their strategy. -
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 lawyer’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 lawyer’s professionalism and track record.
- Look for litigation experience: Review the lawyer’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.
