Misha was patient and very informative and helped us hash through a several issues on how to structure our trust. It has been a few years since we set up all of this and have had some wonderful life changes. Both our kids are married and both have had babies, so we plan to set up a follow-up appointment with Misha to see what we need to change. I sent my closest friend to him and she had a great experience, too.

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.

Manning & Murray listen to you and guide you through the process. It is easy to reach them through the phone or email. They usually responded within an hour, and never did a question go unanswered for longer than one business day. When the worst happens, and you have to use the estate documents that you have so carefully drawn up, you'll want to be able to reach out to a professional, proficient estate law law with excellent customer service - where someone is readily available to help you. Manning and Murray was first recommended to me by an attorney working for a Maryland estate law firm that regularly provides estate planning basics to retiring government workers. Then a friend also mentioned that they had used them - and encouraged me to use them too. Finally, someone employed in the trust department of a bank stated that Manning & Murray had done all of the estate planning for their family. Another friend recommended using an online estate law software package, but the estate had complex needs, and we decided that approach wasn't a good fit. I'm looking forward to sleeping better at night, knowing that the important estate matters are settled. I recommend Manning & Murray wholeheartedly for all who need estate planning work done.

It is with great pleasure that my wife and I wholeheartedly recommend the skilled estate planning…read morelegal services of our attorney Jonathan Cox, Esq., at NOVA Estate Planning. Having carefully considered a wide variety of qualified estate planning professionals in Northern Virginia, the outstanding client references for Jonathan Cox, Esq. made him our "#1 Choice." From our initial meeting and onward, Jonathan never failed to maintain a courteous and relaxed demeanor. He patiently listened to all of our preconceived estate planning objectives and concerns. With those insights, Jonathan proceeded to explore for us the pros and cons of a wide variety of practical options and approaches, tailored for our personally articulated joint objectives and priorities. Jonathan explained to us each potential path of asset protection, while weighing the tax considerations, asset protection strengths and shortcomings of each option. He would patiently lay out the unique administrative aspects of every approach, while pondering the day-to-day and long term asset/cash management characteristics of each. Once our estate planning objective and preferences were extensively explored and conceptualized, Jonathan began diagramming a proposed "best structure" of our customized estate plan, all on a large white board in his private conference room. And there before our appreciative eyes, the entire structure of our estate plan did unfold. With scholarly skill, Jonathan would carefully explain each and every aspect of the proposed plan, weighing the relative tax impact, secure ownership and retained control of each progressive step. Shortly thereafter, appropriate legal documents were generated (in draft form), incorporating our exact priorities; ranging from living trusts; beneficiary trusts; powers of attorney; payment and transfer on death instructions; real property re-titling; advanced care directives; etc. After careful review and discussion, an orderly array of finalized legal documents were generated, presented, proofread, executed, notarized and filed (where required). Eventually, all originals were compiled in a neat pocketed binder and digitalized for our future reference, use and potential updating. Straightforward written instructions by Jonathan accompanied all our documents, designed for future reference by ourselves and by our heirs in the final administration and distribution of our estate. My wife and I remain fully satisfied with the extraordinary high quality of professional counsel, interim guidance and finalized work product provided by Jonathan Cox, Esq.; all at a very reasonable cost. Most importantly... Jonathan Cox has provided, both my wife and I, peace of mind. Thank you, Jonathan! by - Fred V. Vienna, VA

Negligence cost me years of my life This man's negligence…read moreresulted in me being trapped in a cycle of abuse that led to CPTSD for 3 years after my divorce. I was so trusting at my most vulnerable state in my life, and believed ethics and professionalism would result in a fair outcome. My ex husband got away with extreme fraud after me begging this man for help for years. I wasn't even aware of the extreme coercive control and abuse I had been living in because after sharing story after story he didn't even have the desire to recognize what any competent attorney would and protect me. He is manipulative and dismisses anything significant that you tell him. The fact he believed his presence was worth $400 an hour is a stain on the industry. He over bills and knows it. He only cares about making money for himself while giving this "I trust my clients" line when saying why he works off retainer when in reality that's his way of getting desperate clients in the door. I have no memories of my son the last several years due to this man's negligence, and because the two year window closed to reopen divorce more easily I am fighting upstream. This man allowed my ex husband to force me to sell our home, while leaving the state and me trapped in a small apparent they my ex husband controls with zero protection for me to legally require him to cosign. my ex is allowed to stay with me anytime he wants legally. The emotional abuse only escalated after my divorce because no one stopped my ex. That was this man's job, to stop it! I will share my story publically and in hopes of creative system reform. This human being doesn't deserve to practice law. I am still in a cycle of abuse and trying to claw my way out. He didn't even address the fact I told him my ex ruined my credit when I traumatically lost my job and then allowed my ex to assault my character and get away with narcisstic abuse. And because no one told my ex he did anything wrong, he continues to believe his delusions. I even emailed Dan months after my divorce to tell him I had proof my ex husband lied about his income by 400 thousand dollars and he completely ignored me Because now I owed him even more money. I then was controlled by my ex husband and couldnt get help and was left with zero money or credit to help myself with a child and without a job all while my mom was now dying. The trauma of this sent me into such a detached state I was a shell of the person I was. It's taken me three years to start to come out of this and The abuse from me ex with no housing security for me and my son continues. I'm not letting this go!

The circuit court of Virginia determined that my lawyer, Kevin Jaros' billing was unreasonable…read more My lemon law case was settled out of court in my favor, but the defendants refused to pay my legal bills, claiming they included unnecessary and excessive activities, block billing and administrative tasks charged at senior lawyer rates. The case for the legal fees went to a Circuit Court of Virginia hearing My lawyer decided not to attend and instead sent a junior partner, Bret Giaimo, whose hands were visibly shaking and voice kept breaking up with nerves. Judge Stoney was clearly not satisfied with the Giaimo's explanation for Jaros' billing practices and awarded me only 70% of my costs as reasonable, leaving me over $11,000 out of pocket. When I asked Jaros to amend his billing to better reflect what the judge determined as reasonable, he refused. Even when I asked him to split the difference he flatly refused. To add insult to inquiry, after the court hearing Jaros sent me a long email telling me that I should look at this as a victory because the defendants were not happy with the amount they had to pay out . He then billed me a further $113 for the 'pleasure' of his email. Overall, I was billed more than $40,000 and was awarded $29,000 by the court as reasonable fees. I reached out to their CEO, Paul Abraham, but he didn't bother to reply. USE THIS COMPANY AT YOUR PERIL!!! *Sort reviews by lowest and you'll get the true picture
