I retained Jonathan McHugh from the Leesburg office of Livesay & Myers, P.C. to help finalize and file my Separation Agreement, the final Divorce Decree and to handle the two related QDRO's that were required. I found both Jonathan and Paralegal Tatyana Spurgeon to be very professional, kind, and sensitive to my desire to keep the divorce amicable. My phone calls and e-mails were returned promptly, and they always made sure I understood all my options every step off the way. I highly recommend their services.

Honest review. I stumbled across this lawfirm from google searching "divorce lawyers that specialize with fathers". I sent them an email out of desperation on a friday night and got a call back the very next saturday at 1:30PM. I explained my current situation over the phone and they brought me in for a free consultation. This is where i sat and met with Jonathan, my divorce attorney. One thing to consider when picking out an attorney is that you are not shopping for a therapist. You are shopping for an attorney. That is exactly what Jon is. What made me respect him is the fact that he made that very clear to me and advised me with the most honest and up to date laws. His paralegal Tatyana was exceptional in communicating with me and sending me over documents as needed. At 10:30PM on a thursday night i found myself in a nasty uneasy situation while locked in my room with my child. Out of desperation i emailed Jonathan and asked him "What do i do?". I don't know many lawyers but the fact that he was able to respond to my email with advice on how to properly handle that situation at 10:30PM on a thursday night says a lot about how he treats his clients. He will give you the best legal counsel possible, and when it comes time to fight it out in court, you will feel as confident as i did when he told me "If their attorney chooses to go to court, we will come out on top. I'm not worried about him". The other party decided to sign the agreement that we had sent over to them. Which brings up another point. When coming to a seperation/settlement agreement with your spouse, he will make points and ideas that are fair and honest for both parties. There are no cutting corners. He will give you the best legal advice possible so that if in the event you do go to court, you walk in there with confidence and the judge will see that you are doing right on your part such as paying child support before it is even court ordered, being civil with your spouse, and respectful when it comes to communication. In the world we live in, people are very quick to rush to google to find information on law and are quick to ask their friends. Stop wasting your time and have a chat with these people. You'll learn A LOT! Huge thankyou to Tatyana & Jon! You both made my entire divorce process an absolute breeze.

Tatyana Spurgeon worked on my case, and I found her at all times to be highly professional, efficient, compassionate, and polite. All communications were prompt and thorough. My divorce was very complex and drawn-out, and she was always supportive of me and helpful in navigating a very difficult situation. If you are going to be seen at Livesay and Myers, I HIGHLY recommend requesting that Tatyana be a part of your legal team.

I worked with Amanda Stone-Swart and Jenny Peshoff for most of my family law issues. They were extremely attentive, and definitely an advocate for their clients. There were some extremely odd circumstances in my case and Amanda was able to research and respond with options/recommendations, in an efficient manner. I would highly recommend. I also worked very shortly with Tatyana and Jonathan, they were extremely professional as well.

During my divorce proceedings, they successfully divided our marital assets but failed to address our martial debts. I expected more due to the firm's rating and for the amount of money that I paid to retain their services. This was the worse legal experience ever! Never again!

Amanda Stone-Swart and her team were amazing. If you have never needed a lawyer before and unsure of what questions to ask, Amanda is your lawyer. I had never needed a lawyer before, and she was able to explain to me what the process was, what my options were and how my decisions would affected the options provided to me. I was nervous, but she ensured me that everything would be okay and that she would guide me through the process step by step. Tatyana Spurgeon, Amanda's paralegal also amazing. If Amanda was at court and unable to respond to my email, Tatyana was on it, I always received a return email within the hour, most times sooner. Jessica White the accountant kept up with my trust fund, and again if I had any questions at all, she would respond almost immediately. If you are fearful of hiring a law firm, this firm has top notch professionals. They aren't in it just for the money, they care about your justice and your rights! Thank you Amanda and team for being such AMAZING people and for the support you provided to me. I almost forgot they had other cases to attend too, that's how attentive they are. Amanda and Tatyana make you feel like your the only case they're working on.

Jonathan McHugh and Tatyana Spurgeon were Excellent! They both helped me with both of my custody cases. They worked with me through all of my concerns and questions very quickly and professionally. The staff at the Leesburg office is amazing and very prompt. Highly Recommend this Team!

Jonathan McHugh and Tatyana Spurgeon both did an excellent job drafting my marital settlement agreement. All communications were timely and discreet. They responded to all my requests within one to two days. My experience with them was polite, professional, and efficient. I will definitely use their services again in the future.

Despite the difficulties of going through a divorce, my experience with Livesay and Myers was nothing short of exceptionally pleasant. Amanda Stone Swart and Tatyana Spurgeon are an amazing team with a wealth of knowledge, experience, and sheer professionalism. They answered all of my questions, addressed my concerns, and remained cordial and professional in communication with our opposing counsel even when things were not received as so. I felt like they not only represented me in writing but in demeanor as well.

Mr. McHugh and Ms. Spurgeon were incredibly knowledgable and helpful with my custody case. They always kept me up to date with what was going on and made sure I was aware of every detail. Not only were they incredibly helpful, but they were very compassionate throughout the entire case. They were very understanding of my situation and a pleasure to work with while dealing with a difficult circumstance. I would highly recommend Mr. McHugh and Ms. Spurgeon if you are in need of legal assistance.

Excellent services and extremely knowledable. Livesay & Myers was referrred to me by a friend who was also going through family divorce, child custody/support. Amanda Stone Stuart represented me in my case and held my hand through out the whole process and successfully negotiated everything I wanted. Jenny Peshoff helped me so much in all the paperwork and walked me through everything in detail. I highly recommend their services in family law.

Jonathan McHugh and Tatyana Spurgeon were wonderful---expeditious, thorough and always willing to answer my concerns in a timely manner. I highly recommend them should you be so unfortunate to have to undergo divorce proceedings. They made the process as streamlined and painless as possible.
