Custody and Visitation: I went from having my child full time, to now having to move across the…read morecountry and share 50/50 custody with my child's father. I feel like I lost every trial that was attended and was forced to take a settlement I didn't want due to the lack of faith/confidence I had in my lawyer and court system (and not wanting to return to the court room for the reasons previously stated). I was told "not to worry" more often than not and felt that my questions and concerns were dismissed. Everything was done very last minute and it seemed like no one was ever on the same page. When negative outcomes happened I was told, "well it's not my fault" and "I couldn't have seen that coming". Truly hoping my child support hearing goes better than my custody and visitation trial.

Mark Smith represented me and he was on top of everything from day one. He gave me sound advice, always returned my calls (he even gave me his cell phone number for weekends), and always kept a good handle on the mounds of paperwork and communication involved. While he was always professional, he was also compassionate given the emotional situation. I've heard so many horror stories from people who went through a divorce never getting called back from their lawyers, or worse, their lawyer not even telling them when to show up for court. Divorce is stressful, and it's rarely straight forward. Having a good lawyer you can depend on makes a huge difference in getting through it with your mind still intact. That's the best way to move on with your life and never look back!

The attorney missed my discovery deadline, costing me thousands of dollars in child support payments, despite that I asked him about it 4 times in a month and half. The attorney ignored my emails! I brought this to Kristi Wooten's attention. I asked her multiple times why this happened. She refused to answer me! Then my attorney quit and Wooten gave me only three days notice to decide if I wanted to stay with their firm or not. I was told by my attorney that if my temporary Custody Order wasn't working out I could take my case to trial. It wasn't, as my children were still being abused. When I told Mr. Fanney to take a stand, he laughed in my face! It took Kristi Wooten 3 weeks to respond to my concerns and then she promptly advised that if I wanted to take this to trial, they would quit. She only gave me a day and a half to decide despite that she took weeks to respond to me! They would not honor their word! In Kristi Wooten's "justification" for not honoring their word, she cited "facts" of my case as her reasoning. She got the facts wrong! She was citing things that never even happened in my case! Then they failed to give me my entire file upon request. I emailed the paralegal to point out that a letter I paid thousands of dollars for the attorney to write to the GAL, with exhibits, was missing. She then emailed me the letter with only 6 of the exhibits! There were 21! The paralegal then seemed confused when I asked for the rest of the file. Finally, after a back-and-forth, I received all of the exhibits I paid for. They made sure they took their money for "representing" me at the child support hearing that they were completely unprepared for though. Kristi Wooten will charge for every last minute thing she does on the file, even if it is incorrect. They are all about the money. Then they blame their clients when their clients get fed up with their incompetence. Go somewhere else that actually cares. Please.

From the very beginning, Mr. Pfeiffer was patient, kind, and compassionate as he listened to our situation. He made us feel like our case was being handled with the utmost care and importance. His assistant, Beverly, was equally wonderful. She was incredibly attentive when it came to handling the necessary documentation and keeping us informed throughout the entire process. Both she and Mr. Pfeiffer took the time to explain everything thoroughly, making sure we understood what was happening with the case and what we could expect moving forward. When it came time to determine how we would approach court, Mr. Pfeiffer was transparent and honest about what he believed was the best course of action, as well as the possible outcomes. Because of his communication and preparation, my wife and I walked into the courthouse feeling informed, prepared, and confident that we were in good hands. Upon our arrival, Mr. Pfeiffer informed us that he had been able to get both the refusal and obstruction charges dropped. He also let us know that my wife would serve no jail time and would receive only a minimal fine. Given the seriousness of the charges she had initially been facing, the relief we felt in that moment was indescribable. I can say with complete confidence that I highly recommend Mr. Pfeiffer to anyone facing a similar situation. Choosing him to represent my wife was one of the best decisions we could have made, and we could not have been more grateful for the outcome. Thank you, Mr. Pfeiffer. You helped take one of the most difficult and frightening situations of our lives and turn it into something we can learn and grow from, rather than something that could have gone in a complete opposite direction if we did not have you. We appreciate you, Beverly, and your entire team more than you will ever know. Your help truly changed the course of our lives, and we will always be grateful.

They won the case, and the whole process was a great experience. From the very beginning, they were prompt in their responses. Whenever we had a question or concern, we heard back quickly, which meant a lot during such a stressful time. Their communication was clear throughout. They explained each step in plain language, so we always knew where things stood and what to expect. Legal issues can be overwhelming, and Mark Andrews and Stephen Pfeiffer did a great job of calming our nerves and keeping us grounded. They met our expectations and then some, handling everything with professionalism and care. We would absolutely use their services again and would recommend them to anyone who needs a dedicated, responsive attorney.

If you want to be having very short period of time to find attorney to represent you for the right of your kids. So hire him. He went to the juvenile court with me twice. First time the judge said the paperwork was filed wrong. Second time he came late we were in December and when he came late the judge was done so he continued to first week of. This office had me in thier calender since then. The surprise is that his assistant called me before the court by five days telling me that he will not come to the court to represent me because he has to go to chesapeake. The court does not want to continue cause it is the third time. He is putting me in very bad situation after he had is the one who continued till may. So from December till May he could not tell me earlier that he does not want to go to the court. First, no responsibility to handle people matters. Second, he put the claint in bad position because who will be able to find another attorney in a few days. Third, being told to go represent myself in the court alone is not appropriate. If you want to go through this so this will be a right choice for you
