If I had only one word to describe our experience with this law firm, I would have to say sorry I…read moreneed more words...something like cheated, disappointed, failed, let down. Yep, that sums it up. Going through this situation I did have to put my humility on check. I put my trust in an attorneys office. Wow, what a mistake. In the first meeting with the legal assistant she proceeded to tell us about another client, an elderly lady that called her with annoying questions about her case. She went on to say that the elderly lady was crying and scared she could not buy her adult diapers with the budget she was under. Not only did this legal assistant smile she laughed. I felt nocuous at the inhumanity she was displaying. I should have know right then it wasn't a good fit if the firm allowed that behavior. Well I wont bore you with all the other details, but on my own I found a way to get it all paid off and settled early. During that process I had questions and I was told by the office that I wasn't there only client and I would have to just wait and they would get back in touch with me. I called the trustee directly an got the necessary information literally in 2 minutes, then basically forced the attorneys office to file the necessary paperwork they had not done yet. They cost be over 4 extra weeks of this nightmare. That is a fact. Please know you can spend your money anywhere, you should spend it with people who care and will help make positive difference in your situation.

I recently hired Bert Van Gils of The Van Gils Law Firm to put together some legal documents for…read moreme. I thought it was about time I made sure I had all of my ducks in a row with regard to a Will and other legal documents. Bert was professional and explained my options and the hows and whys. He was very thorough and I enjoyed my visit with him. He is a nice, personable, and caring individual! In any case, the paperwork is all done and I don't have to worry about getting it done! Highly recommended!

Where do I start, I wouldn't recommend Alyssa Phillips. I had a PSA for divorce. I never got…read moreanything I wanted and was told If I ask for more time with my kids it looks like I'm only doing it doing to lower child support. She never ONCE defended me and seemed like she was on the other side of things. Maybe Because the other lawyer she was sending "have a great weekend with the kids" and all these nice emails back she attached me on(Buddy buddy- Fauquier lawyers). If you want someone to defend what you want and the things you want , I wouldn't recommend any males to use her during Divorce cases. She works the email system as it's $85 per email as well. She Only response to 1 question per email instead of answering all in one. Males please STAY AWAY!! Would give 0 stars If I could.

My soon to be ex-husband is using this firm to handle our divorce, and up until this point the…read moredivorce was going as smoothly as possible. I post this as a person deeply concerned about how this office serves divorce notices. The paperwork from my divorce separation agreement/address/phone number were taped to my door, not in an envelope, for my entire apartment building to see. I say this also on behalf of my soon to be ex-husband because sensitive information about him was in the document as well. When I went to alert the firm that this had happened and that they should put such notices in an envelope, the receptionist or paralegal was incredibly rude, and said "let me cut you off there and ask you to put your concerns in an email to....." This is vile, unprofessional, and unethical. If you want your information left on someone's door for neighbors to be able to see, go with this firm. I would rather hire someone with some discretion and decorum that would be expected of an attorney's office.

Encouraged by the positive reviews, I contacted this attorney about an urgent legal matter. He…read moreexpressed interest in helping and said he would call back later or the next morning to advise if he could assist me. Then, I heard nothing from him. I called, texted, and left several messages. Five days passed and still not a word. Highly unprofessional. When facing illegal situation when you need a lawyer you can rely on to be communicative, August McCarthy would not be my choice based on this experience.

August McCarthy represented me in several cases ( DV protective orders, custody, spousal and child…read moresupport, divorce and others). He was always very considerate, concerned, helpful and professional. Consistently he was there for my questions , concerns and fears going above and beyond what I thought he needed to do. Answering and explaining each concern completely so I understood. Additionally he alleviated any anxiety I had about going into the courtroom. He helped me attain great results. Without his expertise I cannot say where I would be today. He is an exceptional attorney. I highly recommend August McCarthy for your legal needs.

I had a consultation with Lee Berlik to discuss a threat I received for a completely frivolous…read morelawsuit. I wanted to explain the situation, bring all documentation, and get an honest assessment as to whether or not I should be concerned about this meritless suit -- could this potentially become a serious headache and attempt to just get me to spend a lot of money for a case that would, no doubt, be dismissed? Lee listened to me; he asked the right questions; and confirmed my assumptions that the other attorney threatening a lawsuit had no legal bearing to do so. I felt so much better after our consultation, at least knowing that 1) What I assumed was validated; and 2) If I receive further threats against this attorney, I know who to call and who will be able to help me put a stop to the nonsense and abuse to our legal system. The consultation with Lee was worth every penny!

Very rarely does any judge sustain a demurrer. A demurrer says a complaint is not grounded in law…read moreand should be dismissed outright. In this case, unable to handle getting dumped by his ex, Plaintiff - Mr. Atchuthan Sriskandarajah (an attorney himself) - filed a defamation complaint against his ex & two other parties. The complaint was rather stupid and had very little substance. Mr. Lee Berlik represented the Defendants and absolutely crushed the Plaintiff. In fact, during discovery, when the Plaintiff realized that the case was backfiring on him, it was hilarious to see the Plaintiff cave in so quickly from his original request of $2.5 million down to 10,000 dollars. In the end, Plaintiff did not get even a penny & his case didn't make it past the demurrer. Plaintiff even tried going to the supreme court but the supreme court did not even want to listen to such a stupid complaint. I know enough about defamation law to tell a good attorney from a bad one. Lee is the best defamation attorney & knows the law inside out. I would highly recommend Lee!

UPDATE: I got what I…read morewanted and what I KNEW was in the best interest of my children. I thought it was settled, nope. My Ex filed again for the exact same thing, EXACT same thing. I sent it over to Mike (this time, more irritated than worried). I KNOW I'm in good hands, I stressed alot less after having him. We finally appeared for the judge to decide if we need to go to trial again, Mike shut it down immediately. He was slick and smooth and knew exactly what to use. It was literally magic.No shit. I had to literally jump for joy once the court room's doors closed. Mike was happy that I was happy and I saw it right then and there, he gave a shit. Not only cause WE won but because he made his client happy. I've heard horror stories about Lawyers costing people an arm & a leg and still not being happy with results. That wasn't the case- Mike was very reasonable and honest. I appreciate that. He was very upfront about the costs of things and didn't bs around it. I'm VERY happy with what I received and it was worth every penny. He truly does provide quality service. All BS aside, Mike knows what he's doing. Stop stressing, make your life easier and just hire him. You WON'T regret it. I promise! Now understand this is in the courts hands and all depends on the mood the judge wakes up in but Mike is your best fucking chance. He will ALWAYS be my go to. ALWAYS. Thanks again Mike, for everything! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you
