Working with Tom Dunlap of Dunlap Bennett and Ludwig was a delightful experience. My husband and I needed to do estate planning, but didn't know where to begin. Tom guided us through the process and educated us on the various options and choices we needed to make to address all aspects of our estate planning. He was detail oriented, informative, and answered all our questions in a language we could understand. We would highly recommend Tom; he is knowledgeable, reliable, and trustworthy while still having a sense of humor which made him professionally and personally enjoyable to work with. We were also really impressed with the friendly and helpful support staff at the office in Leesburg, VA.

Mr. Travis Tull is an amazing human being, and a lawyer. He is always available, whenever my husband and I need him. He honestly, deserves an award for the best attorney.

As outside counsel, Mr. David Mendes provided superior legal services for my probate practice before the DC Superior Court including compliance, supervision, and accounting for my conservatorships. He is a kind, generous, loyal, and reliable attorney with outstanding character and ethics seasoned by his years working as a criminal prosecutor. He successfully worked through many of my complex cases despite laws, facts, and liability not necessarily in my favor.

Needing legal representation can be daunting, so the attorney you work with can make such a difference. David is knowledgeable, patient, and responsive. I needed legal representation in a case, and I was so happy I hired David for the job. We ended up winning the case/getting what we asked for!

I began my professional relationship with David Mendez because of a personal recommendation from a family member who understood the urgency of my need to have a conversation with an attorney in the area of David’s specialty. Upon meeting David, I was immediately drawn to his pleasant personal disposition and kindness as well as his sense of life balance. I proceeded to provide David with the details of my family situation, and he took notes and listened intensively. After I finished and with specificity, David began to counsel me on the legal nature of my situation and proceeded to provide me with a very thorough analysis of viable short- and long-term solutions.
It was after that meeting that I understood who I needed to advise me through the legal stages of my situation. Through each stage of what has been a very emotional and trying time for me and my family, David has operated with integrity and competence and been with me and my family every step of the way. I would recommend him and his services to anyone.

I had a dispute with my tenant and was having a hard time dealing with their ridiculous claims, constant threats and refusal to leave the property on lease expiration. Ben handled the case from start to finish smoothly, always being professional, attentive and responsive. I was amazed how quickly he picked up on the case details and was very reassuring in my first conversation with him. He was polite, firm and very objective/calm with the tenants. His thorough knowledge and prompt action was instrumental in making the tenants leaving the property on time and without any ongoing issues. It was my first time using a real estate lawyer and the experience was excellent and hassle free. Thank you Ben!

I cannot express enough gratitude to Roop Law, and Marcus Greene in particular, for providing exceptional representation during my custody battle. My situation was complex, involving the potential for international visitation/custody for my special needs child. From the very beginning, the team at Roop Law demonstrated a deep understanding of the nuances involved in my case. Marcus showed care about my situation while always being direct about how the courts are likely to view things based on current law. He is very knowledgable, responsive, and organized, which made me feel like I was in good hands through this difficult process. Thanks to Marcus' expertise, dedication, and strategic approach, I was awarded sole physical and legal custody of my child.
Roop Law gave me the peace of mind I needed during such a stressful time. If you are facing a custody battle, especially one with high stakes like mine, I highly recommend Roop Law. They are truly the best in the field and have made an immeasurable difference in my life.

I highly recommend Gammon & Grange for any nonprofit or faith-based organization in need of expert legal guidance. I have worked with Derek Gaubatz and his team on a variety of matters, for my church and religious ministry clients, including medical accommodations, contract review and FLSA status. Gammon and Grange has a deep understanding of the unique legal challenges faced by ministries.
They also provide counsel on intellectual property, board governance, and risk management, ensuring ministries remains in full compliance. Derek’s advice was both strategic and compassionate. Gammon and Grange’s expertise in nonprofit law, especially with faith-based organizations, is unmatched. If your organization requires legal support, particularly around issues of constitutionality and religious liberty, you won't find a better partner.

I am very grateful to Alan for representing me in my divorce and custody battle for the past year and a half. Alan was extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about my case. He is a skillful communicator and negotiator, always very prepared and highly organized. He masterfully presented my case in front of the judges in multiple court appearances. He educated me about the entire process and was there for me and my children every step of the way. I received an outcome I was hoping for, and it is all due to Alan’s experience, expertise, professionalism, and true care for his clients. I will recommend his services in a heartbeat.

I've worked with Alan on multiple occasions over a period of 15 years. In all occasions Alan has firmly and skillfully protected my interests. I respect his candor and straight talk when explaining the potential risks and costs associated with different legal strategies. I admire his character in that he seeks an acceptable and reasonable resolution when possible. Above all, I rely on his counsel because he is recognized as a skilled attorney, so we are negotiating for that fair and just resolution from a position of strength.

Alan Plevy represented me for my amicable divorce. I was very impressed with how thorough, communicative, and detail-oriented he was throughout the entire process. Mr. Plevy always took the time to listen to the specifics of my case and provide compassionate advice based on my unique circumstances. I knew that Mr. Plevy was always acting in my best interests and I never second-guessed any of his advice. If I am in the unfortunate situation of needing a divorce attorney in the future, I would seek Mr. Plevy's services without question.

Mr. Wilson was my lawyer through my divorce and made the process very easy. He was always available to communicate with me when I had questions and took care of things quickly. I would definitely recommend him and am grateful for the referral.

Wow... This is in response to the post from Victoria. I usually do not write reviews but I am completely appalled and disagree with those statements. I am completely blown away by her review. If this was her opinion, why did she continue to retain his services? If they were what she believed to be "In Effective" why didn't she look for other advice?
Contrary to her experience, mine has been nothing but professional! I have been working with Mr. Wilson since 2008. He represented me in the past with a car accident and it was resolved fairly fast and I believe that if had I not retained him as my attorney, my settlement would not have been as substantial.
I am currently working with him to dissolve my marriage. It has been such a pleasure working with Mayo. This is a difficult time for me, going through such a horrible divorce as a single mother of two and Mayo has been sure to answer my legal questions even when its past business hours.
I believe that Mayo Wilson is a wonderful attorney. I trust him and recommend him to all of my friends and Co- Workers as he does not just care about getting paid, he cares about the outcome and puts your best interest first. He is very reliable and dependable and I will continue to retain him for all future legal needs and advice.

Mayo Wilson is by far one of the worst lawyers in all of Northern Virginia. He represented me during a custody hearing where he refused to conduct Discovery properly and he refused to present evidence (that I gathered) to Judge Mann that supported my testimony. My ex, George Holder, had a standoff with the City of Alexandria Police, poured gasoline on himself and threatened to set himself on fire, had a protective order against him from a previous relationship, lied about abusing me, testified that he put me out of the house naked and pregnant one night, and was still able to win sole physical and legal custody of my babies.. I testified to those facts and also testified that George abused me. Judge Mann accused me of lying because Mayo REFUSED to present the evidence. He WOULD NOT request the mental health records for George. He REFUSED to request a Guardian Ad Litem and he basically overcharged me for doing NOTHING! Mayo was highly inefficient and spent most of his time judging me for being in an abusive relationship.
He could care less about his clients and didn't even bother consoling me after I lost in court on September 19, 2012. He is lazy and knows nothing about the law - other than how to rack up fees to overcharge his clients. DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY! You will be wasting your money and putting your future and the lives of your children in jeopardy!
By the way, the one review posted above mine was written by him. So pathetic!

Teresa Cole achieved for me a fulfilling life post divorce by ensuring my financial stability in negotiations with my ex husband and his attorney. She was conscientious of how we spent our time so that I wasn’t wasting my funds on unnecessary talk and issues. She was professional, effective, and completed my complicated federal employee divorce in just 18 months. She knew the best mediators who helped get the job done. She helped in advising me for my future life plans. I highly recommend Teresa.

Eric is everywhere (on TV, in print, etc), but what made our company so happy with him is his responsiveness and his willingness to try and find solutions to our problems. We used other attorneys before who took the easy route, but Eric is always striving to find creative resolutions and give our company options that we were able to use. We continue to use Eric on a regular basis.

I thought he had more government contracts experience than he has. He's been around a lot but its a couple of years of this and a few years of that. He charged a lot for what I later learned was a pretty easy answer for someone with experience, then when I complained about the bill he promised to discount it and never did.

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.
