Hello. My name is Adrian Morales…read more My experience with Livesay & Myers had some positives, but also major setbacks. I started with a different lawyer who was rushed, inattentive, and whose overall planning wasn't beneficial to my case. When she retired, I was assigned to Alyssa, who had little experience with custody cases. Despite this, Alyssa was professional, approachable, and genuinely tried to support me, explaining legal issues clearly and making a stressful process more understandable. Brittany was a good assistant and helpful whenever she could. Unfortunately, a very crucial court date was missed by Alyssa, which I believe was the turning point in our case. After that, the judge sent our case to Fauquier County, and that's when things started to go downhill. To make matters worse, during my last case in Loudoun County, they sent a random attorney to support me who didn't know anything about my case, making both me and Livesay & Myers look unprepared in front of the judge. After spending $18,000, I literally got nothing from the ordeal--the only modification that came out of all this was a calling schedule with my kids. Livesay & Myers can be capable and supportive, but I strongly suggest clarifying who will handle your case and their experience with custody matters before committing.

His fellowship with these women seeded a lifelong ability of great human skills required to balance the goals of the client with the law, directed, focused and clarity of issues often not understood by the client. with both litigation (or mediation themes) balanced with kindness. His skill, a brilliant, no nonsense approach saved me time, money and most importantly, emotional waste. He's been an advocate for me twice now (and my sister in law) in cases which were the most stressful times in our lives, calmly lowers the distraction with critical clarity and best outcomes for us both. I'm ever grateful for a professional relationship begun so many years ago continues to support me thoughtfully, professionally, with clear knowledge of the ever changing law, handled expeditiously with kindness, and generous comforting spirit. I wholeheartedly highly recommend Don Anderson of Kelly, Burnes Danker and Luu Sincerel, Ellen Brooks

Do not waste your money on this firm. They are unqualified attorneys who have their own agenda and…read morenot you or your childs best interest. I retained this firm for custody and child support. I have had an ongoing open case with DCSE for arrearages in the tens of thousands. Rather than see the trial through she opted to settle for less than half of what is owed. She did not file what was asked in the amount of dollars owed and left it as 50% of all child related expenses. The father is now behind 8 months once again which always leads back to court. This is what they want, so you will continue to retain them and spend your life savings. Then a court hearing was scheduled in November of last year for August of this year giving this girm ample time to prepare. Once again I could not reach them for over a month asking how do we prepare. Discovery was due and instead of admitting to failure they decided to drop my case one month before the trial date. I was forced to retain a real attorney however the damage was done. Since no evidence was submitted to the courts, trial was postponed and removed from the docket. They didn't even have a file for my case. They sent over next to nothing when requested by my new firm. Now we have to re-submit filings and most likely wait another 8 months for a trial date available. Save your time and hard earned money for a firm who takes your childs best interest seriously!!

10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! I was extremely satisfied with the level of service and professionalism…read morefrom the team at Bolger Law Firm! They are INCREDIBLY responsive, helpful, organized, detailed, professional and efficient - I have only good things to say! I used the Bolger Law Firm for a short-notice signing for paperwork for a real estate transaction, to be signed in-person by my mother in Virginia. To make it more interesting, I was coordinating for my mom remotely from another state. The team made the entire process SO SMOOTH & EXTREMELY EFFICIENT. Before the signing, the team sent a very detailed email outlining the signing procedure and the safety procedures, so we knew exactly what to expect. It was so detailed, even down to the nitty-gritty detail of "you will enter the office and go up the stairs to the 2nd floor" - which was really helpful for me to share with my mom since she was going to an office that she had never been before. The signing was done completely remotely, and the team went above and beyond the safety guidelines, making my mom feel very safe and comfortable throughout the process. The team then scanned and mailed the physical documents to me and I was pleasantly surprised that the documents were split into neat "bundles" and each bundle was labeled with what needed to be signed next, what bundle needed to be notarized, etc. After the signing was over, I had an ad-hoc question about the paperwork and I called the team. They were more than happy to help provide a professional, expert point of view, which was incredibly helpful. Thank you again to the Bolger Law Firm team for your organization, efficiency and professionalism. I would highly recommend the team and would use their service again.

I highly recommend Mr. Bolger!

My ex hired one of the big law firms and I went with Virginia Family Law Center and Sharie Reyes…read moreAlbers. Best decision I could have made. Absolute gem of an attorney and team. My case was a mess and involved my kids, custody, and a lot of stuff that really mattered to my family. Sharie and her team were always prepared and I felt like they actually had a plan, not just billing me for every little thing. My ex spent almost $100,000 on attorneys. I spent less than half that. And in the end I won, got a decision that was good for my kids and my family, and my ex was even ordered to pay toward my attorney fees. Sharie is tough. She knows family law and she knows how to actually litigate a case. She didn't stuff their billing to drive up the price like my ex's attorneys did. She knew when to fight and when to negotiate and even talked me down when I thought the only path forward was fighting. If you're looking for a family law attorney, especially for custody or a contested divorce, I would definitely recommend Virginia Family Law Center. Hopefully I never need a family lawyer again, but if I do I'm calling Sharie and her team.

Going through a family law issue is…read moreoverwhelming, stressful, and deeply personal, but the team at VFLC made me feel supported, prepared, and protected from the very beginning. What stood out most was how clearly they explained the process. Whether we were discussing divorce, custody, support, or next steps in court, they helped me understand my options and made sure I never felt like I was facing it alone. The attorneys and staff were responsive, organized, and realistic, but also compassionate when I needed it most. If you are looking for a family law attorney in Fairfax or Northern Virginia, Virginia Family Law Center is exactly the kind of firm you want in your corner. They are professional, strategic, and genuinely care about the people they represent. I am very grateful for their guidance and would absolutely recommend them to anyone dealing with a divorce, custody dispute, child support issue, or any other Virginia family law matter.

She combines professionalism, compassion, and clear guidance in a way that is truly rare. From our very first meeting, she listened carefully, explained every step of the legal process in detail, and gave me a clear path forward. Her advice is precise, practical, and always focused on her client's best interests. Her office is small, warm, and welcoming, with pleasant and professional staff that immediately put me at ease -- nothing like the intimidating feel of larger law firms. Ms. Khan is generous with her time and made sure I fully understood my options. I walked in full of uncertainty but left with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. Without her kindness, wisdom, and steady support, I could not have navigated my divorce and reached this point in life -- true peace and happiness. I am deeply grateful to have found her and recommend her without hesitation.

Mehnaz Khan helped me with a very stressful personal legal matter. I trusted her from the first…read moremeeting, and she upheld that trust. At every step of the way she explained things related to my case clearly, calmly and kindly. She was not judgmental of my situation, and she or her legal aide Stephanie Hernandez (also wonderful!)  were always available for my questions and concerns. She is very professional, no-nonsense, and strong.  My case went smoothly because she is so organized and detail-oriented, but I have no doubt that if problems had come up, she would have handled them with style. On her bookshelf is a plaque which says, "You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have." I feel this says a lot about Mehnaz Kahn: she is compassionate and strong and if  she is your lawyer, you can trust all will be well. She has raised my opinion of the whole profession. I am very thankful to have found her and would recommend her to anyone, without reservation.

Many attorneys have told me that the ruling should have never happened and that I was poorly represented. Fortunatetly, I secured a much stronger knowledgeable attorney to carry the divorce and custody to fruition.

But he also let me know that it was OK to feel, whether that was bad, sad, or mad, it was OK to feel something. Throughout the process, he gave me excellent counsel, both professionally and personally, which lowered my stress overall. It was clear that he was paying attention during the collaborative meetings, jumping in several times to keep her attorney from walking all over me, and protecting my interests from my own desire to simply get it over with. He helped me with a referral to an estate planning attorney who worked out well too. I am grateful for his help and caring manner. I hope that I never need a divorce attorney again, or that any friends need to ask who I used, but if they do, I can whole-heartedly recommended Jonathan Kales.
