Ms. Sossei is a badass attorney and I would highly recommend her! Very detail oriented and hard working! She will fight hard for you and never settles for less than. She never sugar coats anything and is always 100% honest when it comes to your case. She does not treat you like just another client or a file on her desk, she treats you like family!

We had an absolutely horrendous experience with Tammy Sossei. Do not waste a second of your time or money with her as your attorney! She failed to provide any basic guidance, strategy, or to adequately prepare us for what to expect come court day. She was some combination of disorganized, tardy, disheveled, and unprepared for every interaction. It was clear that the judges do not respect or think highly of her. Her assistant, Katie, is basically incompetent. For example, she sent the wrong settlement offer to the other sides attorney, her scanned legal docs were missing random pages, and she doesn’t understand how to transfer files between google docs and word. I regret ever allowing Ms. Sossei to represent us for such an important life matter. Do not trust her with your legal affairs. She (and in turn, you) will lose.

Nice, friendly, sweet until it was time to work. She dropped the ball. Big time. I should have googled and been better prepared for myself. What’s the point of a hired attorney right. Find someone better. Or worry you may miss something because your on your own. But if you want a great friendly personality. She’s it.

Compassionate & to the point - you want a simple answer, ask her the question. Not only does she care, she cares that her clients understand what's going on & have their questions answered in a way that makes sense. I had other attorneys talk over me & down to me - she just makes it simple.

Ms. Sossei has assisted me & my family on several matters from child support changes, collections, custody cases, personal injury matters, landlord/tenant issues, bankruptcy issues, and much more. She does it all! She cares about all of her clients & has always been the one to help us through some scary situations with professionalism & kindness.

Tammy has helped with my business, traffic cases, and complex family law matters. She is always honest, professional, and takes the time to explain things so I can understand them. I send everyone to her!

Tammy is wonderful, knows her VA law, detailed, always there to answer a question, talk to on the phone (unless in court obviously), assertive, and truly cares for the well being of my children and encouraged me to keeping standing up for what I believe in and my children and keeping things positive!! I had two lawyers before Tammy and wished I had Tammy from the start, and I could have avoided some painful times and misguided advice. Not all lawyers out there have your child's best interest at heart, but Tammy does!! She responds to emails on weekends, nights, early mornings. Will stay late working on a case because she wants to do a wonderful job in court and represent her client for the best outcome! (did I mentioned she pays attention to details?). She explained details of VA laws, court proceedings, lawyer verbage in the simplest way for me to understand. I have recommended Tammy to friends and family and will continue to do so.

Tammy is extremely professional, knowledgeable, detail-oriented (she does not miss a thing!), compassionate and absolutely wonderful to work with. She is very calm and attentive, and diligently works to protect her client's interests. Throughout the process, communication was great. All questions were answered promptly. Every aspect of the case was explained and discussed, and her advice was always excellent. She was available whenever I needed her; she still is. She’s fair and honest, and she truly cares. She’s remarkable. I highly recommend her.

I have worked with Tammy for 6 years now, she has helped me thru divorce, bankruptcy and criminal cases against my ex husband. She is always available to help at all times. I have never doubted her at any time that I have gone thru all of my cases. There has been times where I needed to be advised on a response to my ex or his family and she was there to help me. I have never been able to trust someone, so much with all of my personal information and big decision making. I refer her to all of my friends and family for her phenomenal skills as a lawyer. Tammy will talk you thru all things and let you know ahead of time the pros and cons of the situation. She is not only a great lawyer but an advisor, counselor, emotional mediator in your case. Tammy has never misguided me, or spoke to me in a manner where I did not understand what was going on. Tammy was meant to be a lawyer and she is magnificent at what she does. She is a gift to me and my family and I’m much appreciative of her services and her firm for helping us thru the years and currently.

I have been using Mrs Sossei for three years now. I would not go back to her if I didn't have confidence that she has nothing but my childs and my interest at the top of her list. I have refered her to friends and family who have also been pleased with their business with her. I have been through 3 child support adjustments with her. She knows her stuff and keeps you informed every step of the way. She is very responsive to any questions you have as you move along where as I have had lawyers in the past that would ignore your questions and concerns and leave you floundering. The only complaint I have ever had is because of the judge and not my lawyer. The judge ruled against VA law and there was nothing we could do about it but appeal, which I could not afford. Mrs Sossei is up front and honest with all to do with your case and with what the law says can and cannot be done. She is very knowledgeable in all she represents and gives her clients no less than 110%.. I will continue using her as my attorney and will continue to refer her to friends and family. I have had friends and family use her for child custody, bankruptcy, and traffic law and every time she was tops!

Tammy was very helpful throughout the divorce process and later another child support dispute which ended up back in court. She always made sure I knew all my options and let me decide which path I wanted to pursue. At all meetings and court appearances she was very prepared and re-assured me not to worry. Without Tammy, I can't imagine what would've happened. I highly recommend Tammy Sossei.

Tammy quit my case just a week before a critical hearing. She provided no "crossover" support to help me figure out where I stood after she left the case. For the one hearing in which she appeared and represented me, she did zero preparation with me. I asked her numerous times what to expect at the hearing, and her reply omitted many important factors. I told her I hated surprises, especially in court, and all I got was a big surprise. When confronted with the Plaintiff's aggressive and unethical lawyer, she was unwilling to be aggressive in return. With no law training at all, I felt that I could have represented myself better, armed only with Google searches.
