UPDATE: I got what I…read morewanted and what I KNEW was in the best interest of my children. I thought it was settled, nope. My Ex filed again for the exact same thing, EXACT same thing. I sent it over to Mike (this time, more irritated than worried). I KNOW I'm in good hands, I stressed alot less after having him. We finally appeared for the judge to decide if we need to go to trial again, Mike shut it down immediately. He was slick and smooth and knew exactly what to use. It was literally magic.No shit. I had to literally jump for joy once the court room's doors closed. Mike was happy that I was happy and I saw it right then and there, he gave a shit. Not only cause WE won but because he made his client happy. I've heard horror stories about Lawyers costing people an arm & a leg and still not being happy with results. That wasn't the case- Mike was very reasonable and honest. I appreciate that. He was very upfront about the costs of things and didn't bs around it. I'm VERY happy with what I received and it was worth every penny. He truly does provide quality service. All BS aside, Mike knows what he's doing. Stop stressing, make your life easier and just hire him. You WON'T regret it. I promise! Now understand this is in the courts hands and all depends on the mood the judge wakes up in but Mike is your best fucking chance. He will ALWAYS be my go to. ALWAYS. Thanks again Mike, for everything! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you

Forget any negative reviews concerning Mr. Daugherty. He handled 18 months legal work for me in a…read morechild custody/divorce case. First, Donald genuinely cares about his clients and focuses on getting the best results. Secondly, Donald is experienced. He's in that courtroom everyday and has a great predictability in how the judges think. Donald is very wise. While polite to his judicial adversaries, Donald does not cringe in tough situations. We're talking about a U.S. Army Lt. Colonel who survived the jungles of Vietnam. In a word, Donald wins. And his legal fees are reasonable. Donald doesn't not nickel and dime like many other lawyers. He'll give you a fee and all the courtroom appearances, phone calls, letters written, photo copies, etc. are under that umbrella. If you have a moment of pause on the legal fees, look at this way -what would be cost of judgements that don't go your way. Donald successfully thwarted opposing lawyer attempts for me to pay their client's legal fees. That alone save me tens of thousands of dollars. He won monetary judgements for me that I had not asked. What you're getting with Mr. Daugherty is client honesty, solid legal knowledge, and decades of daily courtroom experience. Donald cares about his clients and he wins. Donald is a rare, affordable super lawyer and you want this man representing you.

This can be a good thing, yet how do you narrow down your search, to find the right one? There is the net, sources offline to find lawyers, and even word of mouth. Rarely do I give anyone or anything five stars here. Yet I'm proud of what Dan has done for me, in a rather unusual family case, and am glad to give him a complete recommendation. He covers all areas of the law, but is knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and is also extremely bright. Dan found information that other attorneys didn't, and he is the best guide for you with the Virginia court system. That alone is a jungle. Not sure if it's because of commonwealth laws or what, but Dan is able to wade through the minutiae quickly. This sharpness is guaranteed to help you, as you want top notch legal support for important matters in the ride of life. I would say hire him, but if you do visit lawyers to decide which one, please add him to your list. He is very responsible, as well as being responsive. I like his demeanor in and out of court. He's a family man, and this comes in handy too, as the way he handles information and witnesses is comprehensive. If you need a lawyer, this is the one you should have in your corner. He has impeccable communication skills, and also is incredible calming clients down. Court is a stressful place. I cannot lie, as having been through other challenges, this case has been up there with overall concerns. Dan has moved mountains, even in covid, to make sure that one person was going to be in the best situation possible. That alone is peace of mind, and things are better due to Dans efforts. Definitely in your search whether criminal or civil cases, this is one attorney you'll want to consider in your and this is meant, vital search for your or others best interests being represented. I've worked with other attorneys, and Dan got results, which is very impressive. Thank you to Dan, as he makes sure your interests are represented fully, and he's no empty suit when it's court time.

Very knowledgeable and professional service. I highly recommend this business for your legal needs.read more

She didn't use scare tactics or extremism like other consultations. And she seemed to really understand my circumstance. 3) The retainer cost was also the most competitive by far! Throughout the process (pre court), her team was responsive by text and email, including remainders on court date and traffic school recommendation, which I greatly appreciated. They seemed really on top of it and available. Most importantly, the day of my traffic hearing she was really proactive and aggressive in handling the process. She negotiated with all parties and then represented me to the judge as well. She made sure the terms worked for me. I didn't have to face the judge, prosecutor or witness. She handled everything. The entire process literally took about 20 minutes and I was on my way with the most favorable outcome. Super efficient and stress free process, after months of worrying about the outcome. I wished I had hired her earlier on. Overall I would rate the experience 10/10 and could not recommend them more!!! So very grateful and eternally thankful!!! I couldn't be happier with the services offered. Highly highly recommend.

I paid for a consultation with this firm seeking strategic legal advice regarding an intense…read moreworkplace dispute involving documented manager misconduct and severe retaliation. Unfortunately, the counsel I received from Nicholas Woodfield was incredibly shallow, and his conduct was entirely unprofessional. When discussing an escalation strategy regarding corporate misconduct, the attorney gave me narrow, bare-minimum technical advice regarding harassment definitions, even incorrectly referencing a non-existent "Employment Rights Act of 1964" instead of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. When I tried to interject to let him know I was already fully aware of these basic concepts, he cut me off and said, "Just let me finish." He completely failed to address the broader context of retaliation law, temporal proximity, or the legal leverage a documented paper trail creates against wrongful termination. Furthermore, his analysis completely missed the critical distinction between a narrow statutory lawsuit and corporate governance liability. He failed to see how a meticulously documented paper trail of executive misconduct--such as a CEO manufacturing a fraudulent performance record, prioritizing manual volume over operational utility, and abusing corporate channels to interrogate an employee--creates massive, direct liability for a Board of Directors. Instead of recognizing that a broken internal HR chain and an erratic executive constitute a severe fiduciary and operational risk to an organization, he focused entirely on a retail courtroom vacuum. When discussing presenting my documentation to the Board, he gave a lazy, fear-based warning that the Board could simply turn around and fire me. Yet he completely failed to analyze the other side of that equation: what legal and corporate-governance consequences could arise once the Board was formally placed on notice of documented executive misconduct and then failed to adequately address it. He never walked me through the potential significance of Board knowledge, subsequent retaliation, corporate ratification, negligent retention or supervision, or potential fiduciary-duty implications. Those were precisely the kinds of legal risks and leverage I was paying an employment attorney to identify. What makes this lack of analysis even more appalling is the attorney's own published professional record. His firm highlights his representation of Donna Jackson in a major retaliation case resulting in a restored $650,000 jury verdict, involving adverse employment actions after an employee reported discrimination. His firm also highlights his representation of Matthew Drake in an appellate whistleblower case establishing, under the federal Whistleblower Protection Act, that a whistleblower did not need to prove an actual violation of law where the applicable reasonable-belief standard was satisfied. This attorney had substantial professional experience with both retaliation following internal reporting and the important distinction between proving an underlying legal violation and determining whether a disclosure can nevertheless receive legal protection. Yet he emphasized that the Board could fire me and that the underlying conduct I described was not illegal, without meaningfully analyzing whether my existing or contemplated disclosures could qualify for protection under the laws applicable to my situation. The sophistication reflected in his own published case history was completely absent from the consultation I paid for. To make matters worse, he interrogated me with completely uncalled-for questions like "Why do you think he is acting like this?" and "Why are you working there?"--subtly shifting the burden onto me rather than analyzing the documented facts. He even trivialized documented executive misconduct by reducing it to a personal claim - saying that it seems that my dad and I simply "don't get along." He capped it off saying that I "don't have to work there." I did not pay for a legal consultation to be psychoanalyzed and given excuses for executive misconduct. During our call, I directly told the attorney that he hurt me and was out of line. Instead of taking accountability, he completely dismissed my pain and followed it up with a fake apology. I paid for professional, comprehensive analysis of employee rights and corporate liability, but instead received a complete lack of thoroughness and a total absence of professional empathy. The consultation I had with Mr. Woodfield was a complete waste of time and money. If you are looking for an advocate who will thoroughly analyze your situation and treat you with basic professional respect, look elsewhere.
