Richard Wexell and his team are the upmost professionals and I recommend him to anyone looking for a family law lawyer who is compassionate, understanding, and effective. He wins. Thank you Richard.

Richard Wexell and his team are the best at what they do. Their lifetime of experience far surpasses using a firm with a roomful of junior attorneys attempting to create a collective approach and solution to family law matters. Working within a process that can have many outcomes, some good/some not. Wexell Milman was able to determine a favorable outcome for everyone.

Richard Wexell assisted me with a legal matter. He simultaneously explained my legal issues and options, while always remaining sensitive to the personal nature of my situation. And on top of all of that, he's a nice guy and our discussions often continued after the clock stopped on our "business". And as other have also noted, his staff are very capable and efficient. I would definitely recommend Mr. Wexell to anyone needing representation in Virginia!

Mr. Wexell is an amazing lawyer! Mr. Wexell helped me win my relocation case! He is extremely professional, very thorough with his work and tough on the stand. He is not one of those lawyers who will just tell you what you want to hear or who will waste your money. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a family law attorney.

I highly recommend Fairfax Family Law Firm if you’re in search of two great lawyers that’ll have your back. Doug Milman and Richard Wexell did an outstanding job representing me during my divorce. Doug and Richard were professional, thoughtful, and trustworthy, and worked as a great team throughout the entire process. From the moment I walked into their office to the day I signed my settlement agreement, I always felt at ease as they gave me the confidence I needed to stay positive during one of the toughest times of my life. Highly recommend.

Richard Wexell, Doug Milman and Dee Mazur contributed the successful mediation of my divorce. In every communication, they were prompt, professional, compassionate and effective. My primary contact was with Richard Wexell. Divorce is a very emotional process and from the beginning, he was sensitive to my situation and provided me with excellent advice, drawing from his insightful understanding of human nature, excellent analytical skills, and meticulous attention to detail. My case was difficult to navigate and took longer than usual to come to settlement, but in the end, it was settled equitably. I highly recommend Wexell Milman to anyone in need of their services, without reservation.

My experience with Attorney Richard Wexell of Wexell Milman was excellent. Attorney Richard Wexell represented me in the most professional manner in which he successfully handled my recent trial at the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court , Fairfax, Virginia. An outstanding family law and trial attorney. Mr.Wexell is Professional, Efficient, and Personable. He cares about his clients. Very insightful and an expert in his field. Phenomenal from start to finish. I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and I was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were reassured. My nerves were calmed, and the process was thoroughly explained to me. Attorney Wexell and his team of seasoned professionals fought hard for me. Mr.Wexell went above and beyond, and did everything he could to ensure a winning outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney. Thanks guys !!!” Though we faced challenges, Mr. Wexell did not falter. His thorough research provided me the pathway I needed to rise to victory. I do not know what I would have done without Mr. Wexell's help and guidance. I am extremely grateful to Mr. Wexell and all of his colleagues , including his able assistant, Ms. Dee Mazur. I definitely would recommend Richard Wexell and the Wexell Milman law firm to anyone that needs legal help in the field of family law. Joseph.

Richard Wexell was nothing less than professional throughout the entire process. I received prompt counsel with everything presented clearly in support of my intentions. I would absolutely recommend Wexell Milman to anyone. I will return to Wexell Milman should I need to seek legal counsel again. I would not want any one else to represent me.

Mr. Wexell, was truly more then an amazing lawyer to me, he also spoke to me like a friend and told me thing I didn't want to hear which I needed to hear to get out of my own way. I would highly recommend Mr. Wexell to anyone and would use him again in an instant, I just hope I never have to again. Amazing custodial educational advice, I am indebted to you Mr. Wexell.

I spent over ten thousand dollars these "expert" lawyers, and now I pay over 2 grand a month in child support, and still don't have split custody of my daughter. Would not recommend. Overall disinterested an insincere, keeping you on the hook with retainers until they've got your money and can ignore you afterward, and seem to work more in favor of whomever is after your financial assets. The family legal system is heavily skewed against men in the first place, but this is just absurd, because I'm paying a literal yearly salary in child support on top of what should be refunded to me by this law firm, on account of gross negligence. They basically handed a gold digger with NO legal team a free salary.

Richard and Doug handled my divorce together. I met with several lawyers because we are a dual-military family and so there were a lot of nuances and specifics that had to be included in our agreement, so I wanted to make sure I had people in my corner that knew about the military and some of the clauses that protect the parents concerning deployments and duty transfers. I couldn't have been more pleased with their knowledge on the topics, and in a case where the answer was unknown, they found it immediately. Both were sensitive to the topics and the heavy emotions associated with divorce. In the beginning they kindly reminded me what lawyers are there for -- they are not your therapist, they are there for the dirty work. Richard and Doug encouraged me to explore every option in order to keep court costs down and litigation out of the picture since I was also dealing with custody and the sale of our home. Richard said during our first meeting, "You don't want to go to court because you will both lose tens of thousands of dollars and that money is better spent on your son." That phrase still resonates with me because he could not have been more right. They both remained (still remain) calm when my ex would spout off threats of custody and litigation, etc., and assured me that he was just emotional because this is a hard time. I feel confident that had my case gone to court, they would've turned into pit bulls to ensure a positive outcome for me. Thankfully my case never reached that unfortunate level though. Throughout the mediation process, they reviewed countless versions of our agreement and made changes that at the time I did not know were necessary, but now being one year post-divorce and out of the "fog of war", I bear witness to how important some of the changes they made and clauses they included really are, especially as it pertains to minor children. They were EXTREMELY detail oriented and meticulous in their review process. They have always been easy to communicate with, with extremely quick response times. I have never waited more than 24 hours for an email or return phone call. Once the paperwork was filed with the court, we were all surprised to get the decree back in under three weeks. I actually misplaced my copy of my custody agreement and reached out to them over Christmas break to make sure I had my ducks in a row for the exchange, and they emailed a copy they had on file within a few hours. Doug and Richard continue to be available via phone and email whenever I have custody questions. Their billing is extremely competitive and reasonable. I don't think I would have found lawyers to handle my divorce who offered this level of exceptional service at manageable cost and who continue to be available today. I trust them implicitly when it comes to the dirty work of divorce and changes in custody. They really do care about customer service, so when I reached out with a question about my father's divorce status, Richard quickly tracked that information down through the courts and forwarded it to us. I've had nothing but a positive experience with Doug and Richard and will continue to keep their contacts handy, though hopefully I won't need them as much as I needed them a year ago!
