bad lawyer!! wouldn't recommend

I would describe Jay as a talented lawyer, but also, a unique individual who stands out, that possess the ability to assess big and small challenges for cases, and is overly enthusiastic about winning your case. If the results don't look good prior to trial, he's not accepting plea deals, he wants to win! Jay prides himself on the ability to successfully take on new cases that have allowed him to develop in ever-expanding areas of expertise when it comes to practicing law and managing several unique cases. As far as his customer service goes, Jay has shown a strong focus on providing exemplary support to his client(s), while working alongside with him. There is no doubt in my mind that he's stellar at what he does and if I had to work with Jay again in the future, I would!

Michelle Kaminsky has been my attorney since she began working with Kelly Hite in 2010 (Kelly had been my attorney since 2004). Due to the constant disagreements and issues which arise every year, my attorney fees have been quite substantial since 2004. Both Kelly and Michelle have been worth every penny I have spent over the years. I recommend either of them to anyone who is considering filing for divorce, has child support and/or custody issues. Michelle’s thorough knowledge and complete understanding of family law as well as her help in managing my “unique” situation is beyond superior. Michelle is very professional and she has ensured my children’s best interest come first. She walks me through each step of every process, every time. She has been successful in not only settling most matters through attorneys but has been successful in my favor every time motions have gone in front of a Judge.

Jay is an exceptional D.C. criminal defense attorney. He is dedicated to his craft and committed to his clients. Confident and credible, he has an uncanny command of the courtroom.

Jay is a great communicator who instills trust and confidence when it is most needed.

Michelle was very compassionate and listened to my situation that lead me to file for separation and ultimately divorce. My Ex-Husband and I had verbally agreed to the division of assets prior to consulting a lawyer. Michelle reviewed each scenario with me to let me know what my rights were to make sure I was making the right choices for me and my situation. It was a comfort having Michelle in my corner.

Michelle worked with me through one of the most personally difficult times in my life, the separation and divorce that ended my marriage. From the first meeting, she was compassionate, knowledgeable and clear. She answered every one of my questions, she always responded in a timely manner, she gave me clear, sanity saving and finance saving advice. She was especially helpful during the property settlement negotiations, offering helpful guidelines and sustaining my strength when overreaching requests were made of me. I cannot say enough good things about Michelle. Her office was a safe place for my tears of sadness, my tears of frustration, and ultimately my tears of gratitude. She helped me navigate those painful and difficult months. And she cheered me on when my spirits were flagging. She is honest, direct and compassionate. If you have to go through something as awful as separation and divorce, you want Michelle by your side.

Michelle was fantastic with a very complicated domestic situation. She was able to locate my children's biological father in another state (who had abandoned his children and his financial responsibility years ago) and successfully assisted with my husband adopting the children. Michelle was extremely responsive, sensitive to our emotions involved with this situation and extremely supportive throughout the entire process. Since this time, I have recommended several friends to utilize Michelle for their domestic legal needs.

Michelle was a past client of mine in a real estate transaction so I sought her expertise and knowledge when I went to get my child support reduced. She was very thorough and efficient. We never even ended up in court. It was all handled between the attorneys and now my monthly amount is less than half what it was prior.

Excellent firm! Matthew and the other associates were very user-friendly. Hopefully, I will never need another attorney but if the time arises I most definitely would use them again!!!!

Michelle understands a divorce is a difficult road and provides a caring, guiding hand to get through it. She provided sound advice (even when I didn't want to hear it) and helped get through a long multi-year divorce period. She works hard to get results, and I had a great experience with her as my attorney.

Michelle Kaminsky is one of the best lawyers in this area! She and Kelly Hite make quite the team because they are very knowledgeable with the law and are very kind, caring, personable lawyers with a strong drive to win. We chose Michelle to be our lawyer because of her expertise and her caring attitude. Every single person in her office is very professional and friendly. At any time I had a question or concern, she was able to talk to me on the phone or respond to my emails very quickly. My husband and I were seeking custody of our grandson. Virginia has the toughest laws for grandparents to receive full, sole and physical custody of a grandchild. During our consultation, both Michelle Kaminsky and Kelly Hite sat with us as we reviewed the facts of our case. As a grandparent, you would never imagine going through something like this ever in your life. Michelle was able to put our minds at ease and reassure us that what we were doing, was what was best for our grandson. Many facts surrounding our case and the support of our lawyer, helped us to be strong and diligent through all of the court proceedings that took place. With this child's life in our hands, we gave full trust to Michelle knowing she was the right lawyer for this job! She was very honest with us knowing that we would be spending a fair amount of money on our case. We would have never hired her if we didn't feel she was being honest with us. In the end, we did win full, sole and physical custody of our grandson! He is the happiest child ever! If you are looking for a great family lawyer, Michelle Kaminsky of Kelly Hite Law is one of the absolute best lawyers that you can find! We have already recommended her and this firm to our friends. Michelle Kaminsky and Kelly Hite of Kelly Hite law are the only lawyers we would ever trust!
