I met with David Hagan for a consultation and he was incredibly helpful, genuine, informative, and honest! I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family. He looks out for the best interest of the client.

I had the pleasure of retaining Attorney Rebecca Wade several times since 2016. She is awesome. I wouldn't seek the advice from any other attorney in Northern Virginia. Highly recommended.

The communication is lacking which made my experience disappointing

A number of years ago, Gretchyn Meinken helped me resolve my sister's estate--something that should have been a simple matter but for the interference of an out of state extended family member. To ensure everything was done right by the state of Virginia, I engaged Ms. Meinken who professionally dealt with the claims brought by the interfering party's counsel, who may have been less experienced in family and estate law than Gretchen, but with whom she worked patiently, but as efficiently as possible, to make sure all parties were confident in the lawful outcome. I will always be grateful to Gretchyn for the service she provided during a difficult time. And it is with no hesitation I can wholeheartedly recommend her!

Incredible group of knowledgeable, experienced professionals on estate planning and family law. Two locations for the firm depending on which type of services you're seeking.

I met with Ms. Meinken for estate documents. She was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Guy Bowe our attorney did our full estate planning for my husband and I. He was very through, easy to talk to, very upfront and knowledgable about our specific needs and plans. Our meetings (via Zoom) were effortless. He walked through all the steps, adding in some humor and ease that no other attorney has ever displayed before like this. I was very glad we were guided to him and in utilizing our ARAG insurance benefit was a breeze. The planning, execution and preparation all went seemlessly. Despite his (Covid) experience which was unforeseen. He's an attorney we'd not hesitate to refer anyone to for these matters. Great job and nothing but FIVE STARS for our experience on this. Thanks Guy job well done!!!!

Guy was wonderful to work with on our estate planning/will process, something we were doing for the first time. Extremely helpful & knowledgeable in answering all questions in understandable terms and creating a plan that worked for our needs. Would highly recommend for anyone at any stage of the estate planning process.

My wife and I recently engaged with Guy Bowe to update our estate plans and to take into consideration the dynamics of our blended family. Guy’s approach is very consultative and he takes a great deal of time and care to understand your concerns and provide his legal recommendations and options. The entire process was seamless from start to finish and he was always available to answer any questions my wife and I may have had. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a thorough and also thoughtful approach to estate planning.

The pandemic and retirement (my own and that of my estate attorney) prompted me to take a fresh look at my will and estate documents. My financial planner recommended Guy Bowe. Over the course of several Zoom and in-person meetings, Guy guided me through the process of updating all of my documents with humor, patience, and a degree of thoroughness I had not encountered in previous experiences in working with estate attorneys. While I was working with Guy, my elderly mother expressed an interest in updating her will and trust to reflect her wish to help her grandchildren pay off their college loans. Using anecdotes and examples, as well as a bit of levity during at times emotionally difficult discussions, Guy demonstrated a flair for illustrating a variety of scenarios for distributing her estate, pointing out the pros and cons of each. My mother and I always felt listened to and respected and greatly appreciated Guy's expert advice and insights. Working with Guy was a very positive experience, and my mother and I thoroughly recommend him!

I came to Guy Bowe because I needed advice on a variety of issues. I had a huge issue with a family trust in which the trustee was not following the rules in the trust document, and I did not know how to proceed. Guy gave me great advice that was also sensitive to the fact that this is a family matter and the trustee was my father. He also gave me advice regarding an estate matter/spousal lifetime trusts and how to make changes from a tax planning perspective. Every interaction I've had with Guy has been professional and respectful, yet informative and personal. I have/will continue to refer him to friends/acquaintances that need trust/estate services. I wish he practiced in more areas of law so I could hire him for all my legal needs.
