I got a ticket as I was traveling through VA. I searched for lawyers and talked to a few different ones before I settled on August. He worked so hard to keep me out of jail, get a felony charge completely dismissed, and only pay a fine on a misdemeanor. It could have been very bad for me, but he was well worth the money I paid him. He knows the law. He definitely prepared me for trial, although he worked hard to not go to trial, but that was on the DA, not August. I’m so grateful for my results. I hope to never need another lawyer, but if I do need one in VA again I’m contacting August!!!!

I've had the opportunity to work with many lawyers over the last 35 yrs and Mr. McCarthy is quite simply the best I have seen. With Mr. McCarthy you get a highly knowledgeable, insightful, intelligent and hard working advocate. The man never stops thinking or working. Mr. McCarthy is not going to focus on every quarter hour billed for an email while providing formulaic representation that is too often executed by support staff. Your going to get insightful and focused representation that reflects the specifics of your particular situation. You will be getting an attorney that can craft clear, well thought out, articulate arguments both in the courtroom and in any documents he produces. Mr. McCarthy will provide you with a winning strategy and tactical execution. Lastly, the man is one of the most ethical people I have known professionally.

I consulted with August. Great attorney would recommend him to anyone that has a case

Bert is a fantastic lawyer .. personable, knowledgeable and understandable.

Drags his feet increasing the time and billing. Doesn’t keep to his deadlines and tries to cover up his own untruths.

Kind, Compassionate, Caring & Empathetic… That describes Bert van Gils. Having no previous experience in the legal field, and finding myself in desperate need of an estate attorney, Bert was recommended. He quietly listened to my family dilemma and said "I think you came to me at the right time." That statement couldn't have comforted me more. He has a comprehensive knowledge of the estate planning process and was able to assist in amending a trust and will at a critical time. He provided professional counsel and encouragement to me over the past several years in some painful family estate issues. He was always very accessible and personal and makes you feel like you are his only client. I personally want to "thank you" Bert, for the professional and exemplary service you have and still are providing. I highly recommend Bert for estate planning needs.

Got a call back within an hour and was very friendly & helpful

August did an amazing job for me multiple times in a custody case. Also have used him for a criminal case (DUI) couldn't of been more pleased with his services.

Bert, has been critical in helping our company navigate several legal issues that StartUps face. He has drafted Articles of Organization, Non-disclosure Agreements, and reviewed multiple documents as we interface with clients. Bert, has been key to our success and we look forward to a continued professional relationship.
