Maria did an excellent job with my traffic infraction. Her fees were reasonable, my infraction was reduced, and I never had to appear in court. She was prompt in her communications with me and reasonable throughout. I would use her again.

I hired Maria after firing another lawyer for three criminal defense charges I was facing: DUI, hit and run and resisting. The original lawyer I hired sold themselves as the "best in town" for defense cases but from the get-go they wanted to settle. I believed I was "not guilty" of these charges because in short, I had taken the wrong prescribed medication unbeknownst to me at 8:00 am which led me to drive erratically). The original lawyer wanted me to settle and the commonwealth attorney would drop 2/3 charges but I would have a DUI on my record for the rest of my life. I was extremely disappointed with these "top attorneys" in leesburg who I had explained I accidently grabbed the wrong medication that morning. They didn't care about me or what this would do to my life. Scared and not knowing what to do, I found Maria through a friend. The best thing about Maria is she listened and she heard me out. I know she believed me. She not only listened but gave me outstanding legal counsel. She gave me options including settling but I told her why this would not work. She fought very hard and did not back down and she was able to get the DUI dropped to Reckless and had the other two charges dropped. Maria made me believe in true "defense attorneys", attorneys who are there to defend you when you are wrongly charged and to help ensure that you are INNOCENT until proven guilty. Before Maria, I had to hire divorce/child custody. I wish I had Maria at that time as well as I know she would always work hard and give honest counsel that would help you and your child.

Maria is very friendly and she helped me a lot with my case. She is professional and does her job with passion. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Ms Amanda Stone Swart, Esq of Livesay & Myers recently represented me in a complicated divorce action in Loudoun County involving abandonment. This was made more complex with my husband's relocation outside of the US. Ms. Swart designed a strategy to accomplish a property settlement and divorce in a timely and cost effective manner. She and her paralegal Donna Fernandez kept in contact so I was never left wondering the status of my case or what the next action would be to achieve an equitable resolution. Amanda Stone Swart and her legal team were a bright light in an otherwise uncomfortable situation that had to be dealt with. I can't thank them enough for their knowledge, professionalism, understanding and support. I highly recommend Amanda for anyone needed a family law attorney in Loudoun County, VA

Anne Prentice and the legal team at the Leesburg office did an excellent job ensuring that my separation contract, and ultimate divorce was fair and equitable. I highly recommend their services.

Amanda Stone Swart was amazing to work with. She helped me navigate through the entire divorce process - offering her expertise and professional opinions along the way, while advocating for me and what was best for my situation. I highly recommend her services!! She was thorough, thoughtful and efficient. Something that was such an overwhelming process to me, she made easier. I'm hopeful I don't need to use a lawyer again...but if I do - she'll be the one I call!

I recently finalized my divorce and hired Livesay & Myers to assist me through the process. Amanda Stone Swart was the attorney that worked with me through the whole process and I couldn't be happier. It was a long process between my ex and I, but Ms. Stone Swart took the time to explain everything to me and offered me the best advice for my particular case. The staff at Livesay & Myers comes highly recommended and I would use them again for other legal matters!

Amanda Stone Swart and Donna Fernandez provided fantastic support for my family and I throughout a challenging matter of extended duration which was successfully resolved. Amanda's advice and experience shone through and made a difficult experience significantly easier for me and my family.

Typo after typo after typo. Filed with the courts with typos. They took forever to do the simplest things. The lawyers are always on vacation. I would never deal with them if I were you.
