It was just like getting advice from a family member, except Mr. Berkhimer really knew what he was talking about. I gotta admit that I was terrified to meet with an attorney but he just has a special way of explaining things - I know that I'm only a single client to them but I honestly came away knowing they did care. I can't put my finger on it but this guy is different, not pushy, just down to earth and there to help. Can't believe I just said that about an attorney. He tells you right up front that his goal is not to get mine and my husbands business but to help us out of a tough jam and if we wind up retaining them then great, if not, then give them a call if they can ever help out.

When you have the loss of a friend and or a family member, you will have an awakening. You will find out quickly that you aren't truly prepared for that person's passing. You should think about having those not-so-fun conversations with your elders or spouse about their wishes if something were to happen to them. Think about everything that involves gathering one's personal property and assets. If you don't have a Will, General Power of attorney, Special Needs, Guardianship, Advance Medical Directive, Joint financial/monetary accounts, and or co-ownership of any assets. You may seriously want to think about having a Living Trust established. Don't be afraid to hire someone who specializes in family planning. The Dickerson & Smith Law Group located in Virginia Beach, VA. is a law firm you can depend on. The expense of having them draw up a Trust is minimal, compared to what it could cost by having to go through probate. The Dickerson & Smith Law Group is dedicated to assisting you with your estate planning. When my wife and I had our Trust drawn up, their associate team were all consummate professionals. Thank You, Dickerson & Smith Law Group, and I like to give Mr. D. Dickerson Jr. Esq. a special thank you for his counsel and for establishing our family's living trust. It gave us a piece of mind knowing we can sleep well at night, without worrying about how our assets are distributed in the event of our passing.

Mark Smith represented me and he was on top of everything from day one. He gave me sound advice, always returned my calls (he even gave me his cell phone number for weekends), and always kept a good handle on the mounds of paperwork and communication involved. While he was always professional, he was also compassionate given the emotional situation. I've heard so many horror stories from people who went through a divorce never getting called back from their lawyers, or worse, their lawyer not even telling them when to show up for court. Divorce is stressful, and it's rarely straight forward. Having a good lawyer you can depend on makes a huge difference in getting through it with your mind still intact. That's the best way to move on with your life and never look back!

Mary Commander and her entire legal team are what you need on your side for any family law matter…read more Hands down, Mary Commander knows the Virginia family law, and practices civility and integrity from start to finish. Mary is tougher than nails and handles any high-conflict and nasty opposing counsel with ease. Mary is reasonable and the entire legal team will have you and your children's best interest as a priority. Regardless, if you have mediation or need to go to court or trial, Mary is a strong litigator and will have your back. From the beginning, Emily (Mary's receptionist) was prompt, patient with my numerous emails, and very responsive. Most of all, when things seemed bleak and overwhelming, Emily was considerate, patient, and kind with every one of my visits to their office. My first visit with Mary was a preemptive and strategic move as my ex had not filed a motion with the local court yet. Mary did not want to take a retainer fee unless needed. This was different than the 7 other attorneys I'd met with in the local area. Mary is 100% the epitome of integrity and is up front with you about your case and will NEVER charge you unnecessarily. For any other reviews that dislike what Mary might say, it is only because she will be honest and never sugarcoat any situation. This is what you need in an attorney and a legal team. Good or bad, you need an attorney and team that won't run up the bill or be fake with you. A little bit after I met with Mary, the ex eventually filed numerous motions. I had approximately 60+ pages worth of discovery and questions to respond to. As chaotic as it might seem, Abby(Mary's paralegal) made sure the process was seamless. Abby's prompt communication and "hand-holding" made the prep for the court hearing much easier. In fact, Abby had even more experience and knowledge than my ex's own attorney! The entire team kept me in the loop and made sure all my questions and concerns were promptly addressed even with Mary's schedule. Mary is the attorney you need. Granted you never know what a judge might say or decide, but the team at Commander Law will do everything they can to ensure your things go in your favor. There is nothing more reassuring and uplifting than seeing Mary in action in a courtroom. It's a great feeling when Mary and her team are fully prepared and state your case eloquently while opposing counsel continue to stumble in their responses to the points Mary brings up. I know that my ex will continue ongoing/future frivolous litigation, but as long as I have Mary on my side, I know it will be okay!

She did not recognize me because she had no intentions of helping me. Could it be that I am African -American? She never sit down and tried to understand , heck, I never meet her! I felt bullied and cheated. Please see the red flags! I had a lawyer who did not care, and could give a hen's egg about my child or us having a home to live in.
