I am very dissatisfied with this lawyer who handled my divorce and child custody. I felt he was…read moreunresponsive to my concerns, often leaving me uninformed about crucial developments. I do not feel this attorney seemed committed to fighting for my interests, especially not challenging erroneous/misleading statements by my ex-wife, for which I had hard evidence to refute. I believe he failed to present crucial evidence in court, and failed to cross examine the Guardian ad Litem, who had information that was critical and would have affected the outcome. Ultimately, I did not secure a fair custody arrangement for my children. Throughout the entire divorce process drawn out over 2 years, I felt frustrated and disregarded despite paying truly exorbitant legal fees.

I retained Mr. Dance two years into my divorce. After two scheduled mediations, there was little…read moremovement in my case and I was still not receiving child support payments. Being at my wits end, I found Mr. Dance through Superlawyers.com. Mr. Dance is rated a "Rising Star" by his peers and that meant something to me. Within a week (my pendente lite case was already scheduled) Mr. Dance successfully negotiated child support for me way over the guidelines. Within two weeks of retaining Mr. Dance, an additional mediation was scheduled. I was skeptical and hesitant to attempt an additional mediation, but trusted Mr. Dance's advice and I'm so glad I did. With Mr. Dance at the helm, this round went much different than the last. Mr. Dance has a straight forward approach of dealing with his clients that is so refreshing. He doesn't mince words but does it in a way that lets you know you are being heard and taken care of. He is a great communicator letting you know what is happening with your case all along the way. When I retained Mr. Dance, I was looking for a finisher. A strong confident attorney that could push back and stay strong against my spouse's northern Virginia attorney. Mr. Dance played that role masterfully and I was so thankful to have him on my side. If you are facing a divorce, do yourself a favor and retain Mr. Dance. He is by far the best value for your money in the Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania area. Coming to him first would have saved me a tremendous amount of money.

Unfortunately Ms. Simmons was recommended by another law office in a different locality. Family…read moremember paid for a consultation, but instead got 15 minutes of humiliation for her hard earned money. This family member had finally worked up the courage to leave a 10+ year abusive relationship, and is continually working toward getting her life and mental health back on track. Ms. Simmons blamed her for sticking around as long as she did and "allowing" the things that happened to take place. I pray Ms. Simmons never falls off of her high horse and finds herself in a similar situation. Women don't choose abuse, be it verbal or physical. Sometimes when you finally realize what's actually happening, there may be children, mortgages, a lack of funds, or numerous other things to consider. It's not as easy as Ms. Simmons seems to believe. If you're stuck in an abusive relationship or marriage, I pray you find the strength that you need to leave or seek help. If you're thinking about allowing Simmons & Hodge the opportunity to fight for you, please reconsider.. from our family's experience, they wont. It's not worth making an already tough time even tougher.

I have been working with Jennifer Simmons for about 2 years on my child custody case. Our case was…read morequite complex, but I can say that through the process I always felt like Jennifer had my and my childs best interest in mind. I came to her lost and confused. What we appreciate the most is her honesty and how straightforward she was - Jennifer Simmons not sugarcoat situations and give us a false hope. If we were mistaking - she would say it. She was committed, involved and professional. She gave us advices on how to handle difficult situations and did more than just assist us legally. She guided us to grow as people and to learn how to handle stressful situations better - which does not have have a price tag. Jennifer Simmons is not the cheapest attorney out there, but we truly believe she is the best.

During one of the most painful and challenging seasons of my life -- a long and exhausting custody battle that ultimately went all the way to the Virginia Court of Appeals -- Mary Elizabeth stood beside me with strength, wisdom, and unwavering dedication. From the very beginning, she believed in my case and fought tirelessly to make sure my voice was heard. Family court can be incredibly overwhelming, especially when emotions are high and the stakes involve the well-being of your child. Mary Elizabeth handled every challenge with professionalism, intelligence, and confidence. What meant the most to me was not only her legal expertise but also her compassion. She understood that behind every case is a family and a person trying to hold their life together. During moments when I felt discouraged or afraid, she remained steady and determined, and her advocacy made all the difference. Because of her hard work and commitment, we prevailed in a case that helped protect my daughter's stability and future. I will always be grateful for the role she played during such an important chapter of my life. Mary Elizabeth White is not only an exceptional attorney but also a person of integrity who truly fights for her clients. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, dedicated, and compassionate advocate. See Mastoras v. Mastoras, Virginia Court of Appeals (June 10, 2008) With sincere gratitude, Rebecca Michael ~ Formally Rebecca Mastoras

Worst decision I ever made…read more If you want a divorce lawyer that doesn't know the law, that doesn't have time for your case, that doesn't understand the impacts of divorce on veteran's benefits (despite "specializing" in military divorce), that cannot make a coherent argument, that won't even answer your emails when the court loses your divorce decree for a month...Then you should hire Jamel Rowe at Livesay & Myers. She is, in short, completely incompetent and her response to being overwhelmed by her job is to ignore her client. She gave me terrible advice from the beginning, mishandled the actual trial, was hoodwinked by opposing counsel either for lack of attention or incompetence or both. I finally had to make demands of her superiors to get a basic response when the court lost my divorce and no one knew what the judge's final decision was. Hiring Jamel Rowe of Livesay & Myers was probably the the most catastrophically bad decision I have ever made; one I will be paying for quite literally for the rest of my life.

Communication was regular and friendly from either Andrew or his administrative team. He has a good rapport with area judges, which helps to determine how he will argue your case. He even gives a repeat customer discount (though I wish I didn't have knowledge of that...). Don't forget to do your homework and follow through with any driving school programs he recommends.
