Would give no stars if not forced to give one. I could not agree more with the review for March 22, 2018. Kimberly Chadwick was assigned to my girls case. She had no concrete reason why she told both the J&DR court judge & the circuit court of appeals judge the same thing at the very end of each hearing. She waited until very end of each hearing to give her opinion that the mother was better suited to have full custody. The circuit court judge on the appeal asked her why she gave a different opinion in her closing than she did in her report. She mumbled oh either house is fine judge. She has a clear biased against men and should go into a different type of law. The judge ruled in the kids favor granting 50/50 arrangement, against the recommendation of Kimberly Chadwick’s closing argument in favor of the mother. If you are a father fighting for your kids the do anything you can to have her removed from your case. Its been 3 years and my girls are doing fabulous. One of my girls was struggling with peer relationships during the time we where in court. Once the 50/50 started it Suddenly got better and ended up disappearing altogether. They both thank me from time to time for working to have them live with me. Fathers don’t give up on your kids! Always appeal J&DR that court is biased and a joke in Fairfax County.

She has been assigned to our case for several years and yet has no clue as to what she is she is doing. She has failed to investigate any of the blatant issues of abuse and neglect from one parent and makes no effort to learn why our child is not thriving and why they have been in therapy for many years. Her reputation in the community indicates that she always sides with mothers . That is obvious as she is extremely prejudice, biased, lazy and incompetent. Made no effort to observe child and parents interact together nor has she made any effort to seek the facts in this case . Her reports are solely based on hearsay from one parent . Her decisions have repeatedly proven harmful to our children. She ignored and contradicted advice and orders from the Juvenile judge. She is a continued danger to children since she repeatedly ignores facts and evidence of abuse and children not thriving under the custodial parents care. We will seek removal of her licenses to practice with the Virginia BAR due to the complete failures in the responsibilities of this attorney. She must be removed before she puts another child in danger.

Doesn't seem to care about the best interest of the child, didn't do much background information on the case in general. Never contacted me about information given to her or changes in her report I had to constantly contact her. Insisted on for me to do one thing to retain custody of the child and then she changed it to me needing to do other things 3 weeks before the hearing. Very biased in my opinion. With the lack of correct information, probably will not get a fair trial.

Does not really investigate or report issues related to child's best interests. Relays specific information but consistently changes report without notice when reporting to the judge. More concerned about financial motives.

She was somewhat knowledgeable and always responded in a timely manner. She was very indecisive and changed her mind way to often. She maybe a great lawyer but in my case she avoided what was the best interest of the child. She needs more training but has potential if she learns more and gets more experience.
