Misha and team were great! Estate planning can be a delicate topic and working with Misha was a far…read moremore pleasant experience than I've had in the past with other firms. We met three times remotely (initial consult, intake, and document review) and once in person (document signing). Misha was pleasant, knowledgeable, quick to respond, offered ready solutions for our specific needs, and was patient with our questions. At the signing, all of the paperwork was well organized and we were able to knock it out quickly even with 5 of us (me, my husband, two witnesses, and the notary) working through all the pages. Highly recommended!

His expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the process. Michael (Misha) took the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I understood the implications of each section in my trust. The personalized service and professionalism made a potentially overwhelming task feel manageable. I highly recommend Misha to anyone in need of trust services! WELL WORTH the reasonable rate. My sister is utilizing his services to revise her trust. Our son will be creating a trust with Misha soon as well. Misha is a man of integrity. Five stars!!!!! Peggy D.

I was referred to attorney Ryan Brown for a consultation about an employment contract. Ryan, who is…read morelicensed to practice law in both Virginia and DC, had his colleague Kyle Epting sit in on the phone call. I appreciated that I got to speak with two attorneys, so that I could be helped in the best way possible. The consultation lasted about 20 minutes, which is not much time for them to read all of the documents that I had emailed to them, but Ryan and Kyle gave me accurate advice that helped me. I did not have to hire them, but if I did have to hire someone, I would have hired them. I am grateful for their assistance, and I would recommend their services to other people.

First, the document review was competently done. The reason for the low rating is the lack of…read morecommunication. In the document review, Ms. Sizer indicated that I should file a specific document related to a trust. My brother would need to sign this document. Since he was coming into the area from out of town, I emailed Ms. Sizer to ask her to send me the document for his signature. I finally got a response from Ms. Sizer after three emails and three phone discussions with her staff over about two weeks. This was part of her response, "As a solo practitioner, I am not able to prepare and provide documents on demand. I give each matter the due diligence it requires and address matters in turn so that every client receives careful and timely attention. Because this approach does not always align with timelines a client may wish to set, I believe it is best to conclude my representation so that you may continue with other counsel who can meet your needs going forward." If Ms. Sizer had responded promptly, this could have been avoided. If she needed more time, she could have let me know. Instead, she chose to remain silent. I have been a practicing attorney for thirty-five years. I hope that she learns that client communication is important.

If you want a detail oriented lawyer I would go elsewhere. He represented me in my divorce…read more During the case I had to prove he agreed to complete aspects of the case when he tried to charge for them as additional to our flat rate agreement. His poor organizational timeline caused unnecessary delays and on multiple occasions he got details of my case wrong and documents had to be redrafted; at least twice confusing my wife's and my information. This was most notable when he thought (well into the case and with a signed property agreement in hand, mind you) that I was paying her in the settlement rather than the reality that I was receiving funds from her. In the end the case went as expected and other than a few weeks worth of unnecessary delays I was not harmed. When looking for a lawyer though, is this really the standard you want to use?
