Where do I start, I wouldn't recommend Alyssa Phillips. I had a PSA for divorce. I never got…read moreanything I wanted and was told If I ask for more time with my kids it looks like I'm only doing it doing to lower child support. She never ONCE defended me and seemed like she was on the other side of things. Maybe Because the other lawyer she was sending "have a great weekend with the kids" and all these nice emails back she attached me on(Buddy buddy- Fauquier lawyers). If you want someone to defend what you want and the things you want , I wouldn't recommend any males to use her during Divorce cases. She works the email system as it's $85 per email as well. She Only response to 1 question per email instead of answering all in one. Males please STAY AWAY!! Would give 0 stars If I could.

You get what you pay for! That is a fact with Paul. My Ex has taken me back to court two times since the Final Decree and it is actually embarrassing for the other attorney. The money I have spent with Paul far out weighs what the witch was trying to get. It actually has become quite amusing watching the witch and her boyfriend squirm when their attorney is being reprimanded by the judge. Highly recommend and will use the next time she tries to squeeze money out of me. Thank you Paul, I am eternally grateful.

He was always very considerate, concerned, helpful and professional. Consistently he was there for my questions , concerns and fears going above and beyond what I thought he needed to do. Answering and explaining each concern completely so I understood. Additionally he alleviated any anxiety I had about going into the courtroom. He helped me attain great results. Without his expertise I cannot say where I would be today. He is an exceptional attorney. I highly recommend August McCarthy for your legal needs.

August is quite simply one of the best people and best attorneys I have ever met and I have worked…read morewith lawyers for 25 years. August handled one of the most extreme divorce cases most people in Fauquier County have seen. In fact, the judge in the divorce said that my divorce was one of the three hardest cases he had ever dealt with in his time on the bench. It involved everything from adultery to protective orders to malicious prosecution and even cancer. August took over the case when my previous attorney had to withdraw due to a conflict. He picked it up when a protective order had been issued against me by my then wife. He saw me through getting that protective order overturned, two show cause motions my wife filed based on that protective order and an arrest for violating the protective order my wife filed with the magistrate. Not only did he WIN for me in each case but he managed to file and win a malicious prosecution suit against my wife for these actions. As to the divorce itself, August could not have done more or been more patient in dealing with my ex wife while she acted pro se after her lawyer quit. He managed multiple motions to compel and did as good a job as anyone could ask for in the pendente lite hearing. Throughout this process August was not only reasonable but personally supportive. When I got hit with a $2,000 a month temporary support payment and $8,000 in arrearage for a total payment of $3,000 month in temporary support, he was very flexible in allowing me to pay him what he knew I was able to each month. August is also very reasonable in how he bills. He is not going to hit you up for every 2 minute call or text message. He is not giving away his services but neither is he gouging as some lawyers do nor will he leave an honest client hanging. I've known few lawyers that will allow themselves to be as personally committed to a client as August was with me. In the end, I got a better result than I could have reasonably expected given my circumstance, and my daughter, after watching August in action and talking with him and getting to know him through the divorce process, decided that it was off to law school for her.

Please be careful when choosing to mediate your divorce in general but especially with Phil…read moreMulford. We spent more than a year in the mediation process with Mulford Mediation-not to mention thousands of dollars, only to come out of the process with NOTHING! Mr. Mulford should have respectfully dismissed us of his services when he saw that we were not moving forward with the mediation. There were countless red flags that should have alerted Mr. Mulford that our situation was not suited for the mediation process. For example, my ex blatantly reneged on a verbal agreement made in mediation and Mr. Mulford did nothing. Instead, he allowed the process to drag out causing emotional and financial set-backs. In addition, Mr. Mulford never filed any of our agreements, made along the way, with the court. In the end, we each had to hire a lawyer and start the process all over. Mediation is a great thing if you have the situation and mediator to facilitate it effectively. Unfortunately, Mr. Mulford's handling of our case was unethical at best.

I received poor customer service as a client and even worse as a former client. After Ann, I interviewed several lawyers before hiring my next attorney. Asked about service level agreements and response times, every single attorney said they would always respond within a day or two at worst, even if it was simply an acknowledgement of the request and a "I'll get back to you on (this) day". Yet Ann continues to be rude and make excuses for terrible customer relations.
