I had the pleasure of working with Ms.Laila Raheen and Ms. Margaret Stanley. I was very impressed with the attention to detail displayed by this team. My case was handled professionally, and I was always updated on each process. I'm thankful I was able to work with an all-star team, that made sure I was completely satisfied with the results. Thanks again for everything you have done fore me.

I am very happy with the thorough and professional manner in which Ms. Raheen and her paralegal, Ms. Stanley, handled my two recent cases to my advantage and benefit. I will definitely use Ms. Raheen again, should the need for legal assistance and/or representation arise in the future.

Matt Smith might be the worst attorney I've ever met. He regrettably represented my wife in a child custody case 5 years ago that continues to plague us to this day. He strung us along, totally unprepared, and we were forced to settle to a completely unrealistic agreement when he thought 8pm the night before our hearing was the appropriate time to start preparing for taking the stand. He is smug, arrogant, and *highly* unknowledgeable about the family courts in Virginia. I wouldn't use him to fight a parking ticket.

Matt was hired as a divorce attorney to represent a military service member who was indisposed and had to communicate remotely. In addition to successfully guided the client through a not-so-pleasant divorce proceeding with a military spouse, Matt's patience in overcoming communication barriers and compassion to the client set him apart from all other attorneys. There were a number of incidents that infuriated the client, but the client was able to rely on Matt's expert legal experience and mature judgment in handling tough situations. Setting up an advantageous negotiation position while managing client's knee-jerk reaction! Working in a team with his paralegal, Caitlin Wilkinson, they were kind and sensitive to the hardship experienced by the service member. He was also protective of the client's non-legal and privacy interests. With Caitlin and Matt, the client was treated as a whole person, more than just a case. Caitlin and Matt were attentive, responsive, professional, and kind at all time. Thank you, Caitlin and Matt for giving the client an excellent financial start to the next chapter.

Matthew s the second lawyer I hired from this firm. HE is is very inexperienced and it was proved by the bad advice he gave me which ended up with me paying for unnecessary work from him and alimony I should not be paying. He shies away from difficult tasks required to have a favorable outcome on my behave and will not take the time to really work for you. He will take your money in a hard beat but he will not have your bet interests at heart. Stay away from him and his firm!!!! Hire Karen C. Davis instead... he was intimidated by her....

The level of unprofessionalism was far too much! I expected more due to their firm's rating and for the amount of money that I paid to retain their services. This was the worse legal experience ever! I will never use their services again.

Ms. Raheen and her paralegal, Gigi, were very professional, prompt and very good at explaining the issues. I would definitely use Livesay & Myers again and would request Ms. Raheen. We enjoyed working with the team.

My husband and I worked with Caitlin Higgins, her paralegal Michelle, and many other Livesay and Myers associates shared or had input on our case. We had a unique case, that seemed almost unattainable for the time frame we needed things to happen in. Caitlin Higgins and her team were able to pull off a miracle and our family is very grateful for that. When we were exhausted and frustrated Caitlin and her team remained diligent and professional and in the end were able to bring resolve to our case and peace for our family. Caitlin's kindness, dedication, patience, understanding, and hard work was incredible. Thank you.

From start till almost finished I felt very comfortable with Brenton. He not only cares about me he cares about my family's needs and wants for me he calls me every single time there's an update on the case.from now on he will be the only person I will contact if I ever need help with the court system. Since I met him I felt like he's have Had my back. I can tell he really cares about my well being and his job

I recently used the law office of Livesay & Myers for a divorce. It is a process no matter what type of divorce you seek. I had a no fault divorce which was filed in October and completed in January. Keep in mind, a property settlement and custody agreement will be needed in order to file a no fault divorce and VA requires a one year separation. I worked with both Laila Raheen and her paralegal, Margaret Stanley. Both are extremely professional and helpful throughout the process. I have no problem recommending them to anyone.

I am extremely satisfied with the service I received from Livesay and Myers. I had 100% support from Ms. Raheen, my attorney, and her paralegal, Ms. Stanley. Ms. Raheen was abundantly helpful in giving me advice and guiding me through my legal matters and assisting me in making the best decisions for me. Ms. Stanley always made sure that things went smoothly and stayed in close communication. At the end Ms. Raheen and Ms. Stanley closed the case to my benefit. Exceptional professional service. Thank you to all.

Ms. Laila Raheen and Ms. Margaret Stanley (Gigi) were exemplary and professional in their handling of my two cases. Laila was clearly knowledgeable of Family Law as she used various legal methods to obtain information critical to winning my first case. She then dug into the details of my second case to protect my rights during settlement, while Gigi helped to keep me and the case on target by continuously communicating deadlines and checking documentation. Both Laila and Gigi provided excellent feedback and advice promptly. I always felt I could call or email them with any questions or concerns and receive their full attention. They were never condescending nor cold when answering my questions and they always left me feeling content with the explanations I received. As a person with no knowledge or experience of the court system, I am thankful to have had Laila’s and Gigi’s guidance, and I am pleased with our results. For anyone that needs a Family Lawyer, I highly recommend going to Livesay & Myers, P.C. and asking for Laila and Gigi.
