Very knowledgeable. He won my Case. He Represents me 4 times. I highly recommend him for any one looking for a good attorney.

I decided to choose Mr. Hirsch after seeing his reviews online and the amount of success he has brought to his clients in the past. Brian is a knowledgeable, experienced, humble, trust worthy, and a patient lawyer to work with. Through out the entire last year, Brian has never failed to satisfy me by giving me information I needed to be prepare ahead of time. He would answer my questions, file all documents, give me head up all in a timely manner. During mediation, I was Uncertain and unaware of many issues which that he patently explained to me until I was Satisfied with his answers. He gave me examples of similar cases and success rate which put my mind at ease. I am very happy with my divorce settlement agreement regarding custody, visitations, support, assets division, property division, etc. I was saved the hassle to go to trial and by having a successful mediation. Brian is not only persuasive, knowledgeable yet an firm attorney, he also charges a very reasonable price. This combination is hard to find and I was lucky to have that benefit. I would in a heart beat recommend Brian to anyone seeking an attorney. You can not go wrong with him!

Brian is calm, keen, and fair. Going through a divorce is horrible and having an attorney that one can trust completely is key. Brian has years of experience and understands the law and the nature of people. My recommendation would be to hire him, and then listen to him and let him do his job. Brian is very respected by the judges and other attorneys (even those on the opposing side) which speaks volumes about his work ethic and personal character.

I met Brian in 2011 and right from the beginning he handled my case with the most compassion, professionalism, and transparency at a time where I did not know what to expect the next day. I do not want to wish divorce on anyone, but if anyone will be willing to fight for you, it would be Brian and this firm. The agreement we came to was fair and equitable so I could move forward.

Brian and his associate handled my divorce. He was very responsive, effective and cost-effective. He delegated work, but remained directly and thoroughly involved. I am an attorney and can recognize quality representation. He provided it.

Altough I only sought his opinion for my case, I left him feeling I could trust my life and future in his hands. Firstly, he knows the family law really well and has tons of experience, is well respected among the legal communities and I bet he would not take a case just for the sake of money or to win. He seemed like one of the few remaining lawyers who did good because it is ethical and right to do. I would recommend him to anyone who is going through difficult family matters.

Brian Hirsch represented me in the matter of a Spousal Support Modification case. After retiring from the military and then retiring a second time, my former spouse claimed he could no longer afford to make payments. Having had three sessions with a Mediator, we were regrettably unable to reach a settlement that was beneficial to us both. At this point, I needed to seek the services of an attorney. Within the first 10 minutes of my consultation with Brian, he asked me why I had decided to acquire his service, because his fees were higher than the attorney I initially consulted. At that point I simply stated, “I WANT SOMEONE TO FIGHT FOR ME.” Brian did just that. He captured the essence of my case immediately and that gave me a sense of relief and confidence in him. I was very impressed that Brian began to work on my case so quickly. There were voluminous amounts of questions and paperwork almost weekly leading up to the deposition. At one point I became truly frustrated with the type and amount of documents I was required to provide to opposing counsel since it was unknown to me if he would be requesting similar documents from them. One call to the office and I was reassured with these words “WE HAVE OUR CASE, THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE THEIRS’’ The results of the trial: Motion to Terminate was denied and no modification to support was granted. Plus, attorney’s fees were awarded to me. This indeed was a truly amazing win. I believe that he, being from a military family himself, had a greater understanding and appreciation of the nuances surrounding my case and lifestyle. And finally, if I were to describe Brian Hirsch using three attributes, I would say that he is brilliant, trustworthy and HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU.

my case involved my ex stopping my support without warning and then suing to stop support altogether. Brian is calm and deliberate. I wanted more face time, but Brian knew what he was doing. He listened to me and expressed appreciation for my input. He made me feel secure. He was always honest about the pros and cons of each side. He refused to lower himself to the nasty tricks the other side tried and he let the ex hang himself. They were cognizant about keeping my costs down. The outcome was favorable for me and will use these people again if i ever need them.

My case involved my ex stopping spousal support suddenly without going through the court and suing me to stop it altogether. Brian immediately took actions. He is calm and low-key and i am nervous and high strung. i wanted more face time, but things worked out well and Brian actually kept my costs down. He refused to lower himself to the dirty tricks the other side tried. He was honest with me about the pros and cons for each side and he was supportive. He made me fell like I was in good hands. He did a great job of letting the ex hang himself. Things worked out well for me.

I have been a client of Brian’s for almost a decade. I started with the firm when it was Craig & Hirsch and I was fortunate enough to have Brian continue as my counsel after Mary Ellen Craig retired in 2006. Brian’s expertise in family law and his wisdom of experience has made his guidance invaluable. With Brian advising me on contentious situations outside of the courtroom we successfully diffused things on many occasions. Over time with Brian’s insight, I was able to expand my perspective of how to view situations without letting emotions interfere. I have no regrets about not going to court when we did not need to, and am pleased with all of the out of court resolutions we reached. Of course, sometimes resolutions just can’t be reached and court is necessary. Brian is a powerful litigator with the ability to synthesize tremendous amounts of case information and develop a consolidated, impactful argument. Our verdicts were favorable and for me, positively life-altering. Brian is well-respected in the legal community and he truly is one of the Top Virginia lawyers. He keeps up with family law and also has the ability to read dynamic court room situations while he litigates. I have the utmost respect and appreciation for Brian and my sons and I would not be in the positive place we are today had it not been for him. Brian also has a great team at Hirsch & Ehlenberger that is professional, pleasant, responsive and understanding. They also have very favorable billing practices and competitive rates. I have referred two friends to this firm and both were very pleased with their outcomes and experiences.

Brian Hirsch was dedicated and absolutely tenacious in the way he represented me during my divorce case. His extreme attention to detail, professionalism, and direct mannner in which he handled each phase of the cumbersome divorce process left me at ease, and helped minimize my own concerns about future financial stability. Having a dedicated, knowledgeable lawyer like Brian, with over 35 plus years of experience, left me confidant that a fair agreement would be reached, and if my case was not settled, i knew i would have the very best divorce trial lawyer in the region, representing me in court. Brian's dedication to my case and his 'hands on' approach to dealing with opposing counsel, created an environment that ultimately led to a swift settlement that was reflective of exactly what my interests were from the onset of the divorce process. Simply stated, based on my experience, there is no better divorce lawyer, negotiator, or mediator in the country.

Brian handled my divorce case. He and his staff did an excellent job in a difficult situation. I felt confidant that I was well represented . We reached a settlement and thus avoided court . I attribute this solely to Brian's skill and experience. The settlement we reached was fair . Brian and his staff were always available and answered both calls and emails quickly. Highly recommended!
