As a Type A personality, I know I can be demanding with my questions, but Seth was endlessly patient and took the time to make sure I understood every step of the process. His depth of knowledge is remarkable; not only when it comes to the law, but also in understanding the nuances and "lay of the land" in Loudoun County. Thanks to his guidance, I was more than satisfied with the outcome. Most importantly, he safeguarded my security clearance in the process, which was critical for me. Seth is a rare professional; calm under pressure, exceptionally skilled, and genuinely dedicated to his clients. I would recommend him without hesitation, in a heartbeat.

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.

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.

I recently went through the arduous and emotionally painful process of getting divorced after a…read moremarriage of 24 years came to an end. I interviewed several lawyers before I met with Ms. Kuhns. I felt a connection with her after our first conversation and I decided to retain her as my attorney. I am very glad that I did. Ms. Kuhns is an excellent divorce and family law attorney. She is knowledgeable about the legal and financial aspects of obtaining a divorce. She has exceptional negotiation skills, and was able to help me navigate through some complicated financial matters pertaining to retirement assets and division of property. Ms. Kuhns was able to help me settle my case out of court, but she was prepared to go to court if it became necessary. Fortunately, due to her strong ability to negotiate, we were able to avoid going to court, which saved me a lot of time, money, and turmoil. Ms. Kuhns is diligent and thorough in all that she does for her clients. She advocated on my behalf from the beginning to the end of the process. Ms. Kuhns is also very efficient, and she carefully attended to all of the various details in my case. She took the time to explain the legal aspects, and the ins and outs of the divorce proceedings to me. Ms. Kuhns provides excellent legal representation, and her rates are reasonable when compared to other attorneys in the area. Her legal expertise was well-worth every penny that I paid, and she provided me with peace-of-mind. I knew that I could trust her. On a personal level, Ms. Kuhns was very kind to me, and was very patient throughout the entire process. She answered all of my many, many, many questions in a timely manner, and responded to my emails within one day. Ms. Kuhns really, truly listened to what I had to say, and helped me through a difficult time in my life. Ms. Kuhns is truly a top-notch attorney. If you need a lawyer, and you want someone who will really listen to you, and who will help you navigate through the difficult process of getting divorced, I highly recommend Ms. Sarah Kuhns.

Sarah Kuhns is a family attorney, is licensed to practice law in Virginia (not in DC or Maryland,…read moreat least now), and is located in Fairfax. I called Sarah for a 30-minute consultation about a legal problem that I was having. During our consultation, Sarah was very polite and listened attentively to my answers to her questions. She was very thorough with reading all of the documents that I had emailed to her, and she even went several minutes over our scheduled time for free. She wanted to make sure that she understood the entire situation and that she gave me the best advice possible. She was able to give me advice about my problem. I agreed with her advice, and I confirmed the accuracy of her advice with two other attorneys. I ended up not hiring Sarah or any other attorney, because I had done nothing wrong in my situation, and the other party decided to not bother me anymore. Nonetheless, I felt relieved about the situation after talking to Sarah. I am thankful for Sarah's assistance, and I recommend her to other people.

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.

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.
