I worked with Kamran when I was first starting out in the patent law profession in 2004. We worked together at a private law firm for both domestic/foreign clients, where we were responsible for preparing new application drafts as well as domestic/foreign prosecution for technologies including semiconductor / memory fabrication and telecommunications. Kamran is a hard-working and flexible attorney that can handle projects of all sizes, from establishing basic IP strategy for small companies / solo inventors, as well as servicing larger and more structured clients which require more focused patent prosecution tactics for specific cases. Kamran is both a personal friend and colleague, and I would not hesitate to direct prospective clients his way.

First of all praise God in Jesus mighty name for Laura Hamilton my Attorney.
As a man of God, a Loving Father, a Daddy, and a Combat Veteran I thank you Laura Hamilton for everything you have done so far in putting the piece's back together in my life. Through legal action you have corrected so many wrongs, from previous attorney's.
To all good people I give Laura Hamilton the highest recommendation. Don't go to just any Attorney start here.
In family law the discretion of the court is sometimes just wrong and unjust and it takes a skilled, compassionate, honest Attorney to navigate a specific strategy to see the you through, Laura Hamilton is that Attorney
Thank you Laura Hamilton
Very Respectfully
Best Regards

When I needed help with custody and visitation I sought advise from fellow attorneys who litigate in family courts across Northern Virginia. They all recommended Laura Hamilton to handle my complex and heart rending appeal. She has accomplished more with her resolve and tenacity than any of the so called prestigious pedigree firms whom I had hired in the past. I have witnessed her intense preparation, professional demeanor, and courtroom brilliance sway previously skeptical judges. Her reputation impressed my fellow lawyers, and now, I am over awed by her dedication. I am grateful to have Laura Hamilton on my side.

Laura is the type of attorney that you see on television shows like "Law and Order." She's a formidable opponent, and extremely logical and rational. One thing that I loved about having Laura as my counsel is that even if she asserted that we should take a certain action-----she would still be weighing the strategy associated with taking that action up until the very last minute.
Laura is very STEALTHY. Her mind SHREDS information, down to the finest detail.
In addition to her legal prowess, Laura is extremely nurturing. There were many instances in her time spent with me where she gave me practical advice for my specific situation that had nothing to do with practicing law. She remained accessible via phone and text, even at night and on the weekends.
If you need an attorney who is going to go the extra mile to not only provide you with representation but support then Laura is your person. She's argued cases in front of the Supreme Court and more.
What touched me the most about Laura, was her willingness to work with me financially. She's certainly seasoned enough, to not have to do that. She did that because she believed it was the right thing to do and there were many instances in which she would say "Look, that will work itself out. Lets focus on the case." Her character as a human being is what shines even brighter than her legal prowess.
Another thing I want to mention is that when Laura drafted motions on my behalf, they were completely solid. She filled her motions with tons of case law, shutting down the emotion based arguments of the opposing counsel. HIRE LAURA!

From the moment I met (online) Ms. Vaillancourt, I knew I was in good hands. She started by introducing herself and explaining that she would be my lawyer for the day in court. She made sure I had been given my questions of what the trustee would ask of me so I would be relaxed at knowing exactly what to expect. When I arrived at the courthouse, she began explaining everything that would happen in the courtroom. I came in somewhat scared and worried, but she calmed any fears or concerns by answering all of my questions before we went into the courtroom, even the ones about the smallest details. Once in the courtroom, and before we started, she explained again, step-by-step what the procedure would be, where I would sit, where the trustee and his aides would sit, what they would do, and I felt myself beginning to relax. I watched other lawyers go up with their clients and was amazed that they were no where near as prepared as we were. I had all of my information ready, and so when I saw that one person ahead of us still had not filed certain paperwork, I knew again I was in good hands. When my turn came to go before the trustee, Ms. Vaillancourt sat beside me in front of him when he asked questions, and gave me assistance when I did not understand a question, and helped me through the whole process. When the trustee asked me questions, I answered in yes, no, etc, and I was done in only about 5 minutes, unlike the persons who had lawyers from a different office. It had taken 15 minutes to half an hour for them to go through the questions. She is smart, professional in manners- knowledge- and appearance, and answers all of the questions you have. She is very knowledgeable in the law, in how the court works, and what is expected of her clients. She is very kind and considerate, and understands how hard this process is for people. When she spoke with me outside the courtroom, she spoke quietly so as to not let others in the room hear my information and that showed me I could trust her. I had never gone through any kind of process like this before, so I was grateful that I had Kaitlin with me the whole way. And, she was concerned enough about me to do a follow-up to see how I was doing. Total care, kindness, knowledge, and responsibility for her clients.

Kaitlin(Katie) is an amazing attorney. She responds promptly to emails and telephone calls. She is extremely thorough and makes you feel safe and that your financial situation is secure in her legal hands. She had to work quickly with some matters and did so. I would highly recommend her. When I reflect on her assistance I would say two words come to mind, "reliable and thorough" yet she always has a smile and a supportive word to help you feel more at ease and less stressful

Kaitlin was assigned by Robert Weed to handle my bankruptcy. She did a great job
She responded to all emails including one from my parents and answered questions
Concerning my bankruptcy and the garnishment case. When I went to the hearing for
The garnished wages I was very nervous and she eased my nerves by telling
Me that it would be ok. We ended up losing that case but I really felt comfortable
With her. This is the second time I have used the law offices of Robert Weed and
Kaitlin is a great lawyer..

I'm a Virginia lawyer and I'm a client of Shayan Noor, why? Because he is an excellent lawyer, he's personable, highly intelligent, knows the law and has experience with the courts, which makes him a killer lawyer. I confidently tell my clients to reach out to him and see if he is a good fit for them and when they retain him, he fights for them tooth and nail and has achieved many astonishing outcomes for his clients. When a surgeon goes to another surgeon to have the same type of surgery he does, done on himself, you as a patient can also trust the surgeon who is doing surgery on the surgeon. When a lawyer has Shayan Noor represent them in court, you too can have Shayan represent you with confidence.

I have hired Mr. Noor twice in the past 15 months for two separate incidents. From the beginning Mr. Noor aggressively defended me and was able to get both of my cases dismissed! Mr. Noor is simply an amazing attorney. He works with you and he is very affordable. He also responds to any questions or concerns promptly and keeps you updated on your case. I’m referring him to all my friends and family. Give him a chance and you’ll be a lifetime member with him. Amazing personality and professional ethics.

Shayan is what you are looking for. He is really professional and knowledgeable; trustworthy and communicative, but beside all that, he actually cares about you and yours, not money hungry machine. In my case, Shayan could just take an initial “easy money” deal but he advised me not to do it, even knowing that the case was going to take longer for him and us, at the end was worthy, because he gain our trust and is now our family lawyer. He is a real legal advisor, believe me; “he is the man”

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Sterling, Virginia?

Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state. -

If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:- Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.

International Representation:
For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.
It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.
