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.

I had a consultation with Lee Berlik to discuss a threat I received for a completely frivolous…read morelawsuit. I wanted to explain the situation, bring all documentation, and get an honest assessment as to whether or not I should be concerned about this meritless suit -- could this potentially become a serious headache and attempt to just get me to spend a lot of money for a case that would, no doubt, be dismissed? Lee listened to me; he asked the right questions; and confirmed my assumptions that the other attorney threatening a lawsuit had no legal bearing to do so. I felt so much better after our consultation, at least knowing that 1) What I assumed was validated; and 2) If I receive further threats against this attorney, I know who to call and who will be able to help me put a stop to the nonsense and abuse to our legal system. The consultation with Lee was worth every penny!

Very rarely does any judge sustain a demurrer. A demurrer says a complaint is not grounded in law…read moreand should be dismissed outright. In this case, unable to handle getting dumped by his ex, Plaintiff - Mr. Atchuthan Sriskandarajah (an attorney himself) - filed a defamation complaint against his ex & two other parties. The complaint was rather stupid and had very little substance. Mr. Lee Berlik represented the Defendants and absolutely crushed the Plaintiff. In fact, during discovery, when the Plaintiff realized that the case was backfiring on him, it was hilarious to see the Plaintiff cave in so quickly from his original request of $2.5 million down to 10,000 dollars. In the end, Plaintiff did not get even a penny & his case didn't make it past the demurrer. Plaintiff even tried going to the supreme court but the supreme court did not even want to listen to such a stupid complaint. I know enough about defamation law to tell a good attorney from a bad one. Lee is the best defamation attorney & knows the law inside out. I would highly recommend Lee!

Highly recommend Chris Malinowski and his firm. I sought their help on a family matter and was…read moreprovided with sound and honest advice right from the initial consult.

My soon to be ex-husband is using this firm to handle our divorce, and up until this point the…read moredivorce was going as smoothly as possible. I post this as a person deeply concerned about how this office serves divorce notices. The paperwork from my divorce separation agreement/address/phone number were taped to my door, not in an envelope, for my entire apartment building to see. I say this also on behalf of my soon to be ex-husband because sensitive information about him was in the document as well. When I went to alert the firm that this had happened and that they should put such notices in an envelope, the receptionist or paralegal was incredibly rude, and said "let me cut you off there and ask you to put your concerns in an email to....." This is vile, unprofessional, and unethical. If you want your information left on someone's door for neighbors to be able to see, go with this firm. I would rather hire someone with some discretion and decorum that would be expected of an attorney's office.

I thought it was about time I made sure I had all of my ducks in a row with regard to a Will and other legal documents. Bert was professional and explained my options and the hows and whys. He was very thorough and I enjoyed my visit with him. He is a nice, personable, and caring individual! In any case, the paperwork is all done and I don't have to worry about getting it done! Highly recommended!

Encouraged by the positive reviews, I contacted this attorney about an urgent legal matter. He…read moreexpressed interest in helping and said he would call back later or the next morning to advise if he could assist me. Then, I heard nothing from him. I called, texted, and left several messages. Five days passed and still not a word. Highly unprofessional. When facing illegal situation when you need a lawyer you can rely on to be communicative, August McCarthy would not be my choice based on this experience.

August McCarthy represented me in several cases ( DV protective orders, custody, spousal and child…read moresupport, divorce and others). 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.

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.

A difficult & abused feeling experience with this firm…read more I needed legal help to process the estate of my deceased mother. I ended up wasting six months and about $4K, paid in fees, with no outcome with Geller Law. I was first requested to have a mandatory paid initial consultation session to go over my legal help needed. I was introduced to Julie S. during this session. After describing my specific case & needs, she informed me that Geller Law can handle my case. What followed was months of emotional stress & redundant conversations with the staff of this firm that yielded no results. It became clear to me that they didn't know how to legally handle my case. Some staff members were argumentative & appeared trying to take advantage of this emotional situation for me. There were redundant conversations that I was later billed for. I concluded that this firm is not the choice that can handle my case professionally. I terminated my work with them. The new law firm I selected to handle my case turned out to be more knowledgeable for my case. And, more compassionate with me. The process was handled smoothly & professionally to completion.
