I was the client with the "deer in the headlights" look. I had no idea that my ex was hiding money and doing all sorts of creative financial dealings. Through the help of a forensic accountant and the discovery process, Sandy helped uncover the assets. Sandy does not do any hand-holding, but she is relentless in negotiations - shrewd and relentless. She plays a mean game of poker, I'm sure. Sandy is the smartest lawyer by far and she knows how to work in your best interest. I would recommend her HIGHLY to anyone starting the divorce process!

I was forced to hire an attorney because my ex had done some things in clear violation of our divorce decree, and had harmed the children in the process. Sandy immediately recognized the issues and determined that the case was very strong. My ex was being stubborn and refused to admit doing anything wrong, so we had to go to trial. Trial was in the Fairfax Circuit Court. Sandy was WAY more prepared than my ex's counsel, and it was not even a fair fight. Sandy Havrilak is one of the best I have seen. She eviscerated my ex on the stand, and the judge was eating it up. By the end of the trial, the judge was ready to throw my ex in jail -- something I did not ask for or want. If you want a tough, no BS lawyer who will fight for you -- call Sandy. Her associate, Julia Yolles, was also excellent by the way.
