My 1st choice for a real estate attorney is Mr. Dominic Lascara…read more I have referred him to my clients since 2007 and he has never disappointed my clients or myself. His knowledge of real estate law is deep and vast. His comprehension of the contract is thorough. He is creative when resolving issues and he is excellent at looking out for the best interest of our clients and making sure they don't get taken advantage of. His demeanor is exactly that of an attorney you want representing you (and exactly the kind you don't want to be going up against). He and his team are attentive, proactive, prompt, and courteous. He also helped me incorporate my business. Donnie and team, thank you for all the years of helping me take such great care of our clients!

I first discovered them back in September of 2018 and their service and efficiency was the best I had ever experienced. After my first experience with, Jessica Rossi and the rest of the Shaheen Law team, I gave them all my other deals. I was so glad I did on my latest deal! I was buying 7 duplexes. They had to all close at the same time or the deal would not close. The lender I chose for these 7 deals, provided the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Jessica Rossi provided the best customer service I have ever experienced. It was like a battle of good and evil. The Lender dragged it out for 6 months! They kept finding ways not to fund. meanwhile; Jessica looked for ways to reduce my cost by getting me a better price from within and from other vendors in appreciation of my business. Jessica assisted the lender where ever she could. The second she needed anything from me, she would ask for it. The second I asked for a document or an explanation from her, she would email it to me. When finally, the lender was ready to "Clear to Close" the loan, Jessica worked non stop for 2 days helping the lender get the figures correct. The first day, right after Jessica assisted the lender to get all 7 of the figures correct, the lender delayed for another day causing the figures to change. The second day Jessica took the lender by the hand once again and helped them get the figures correct once again. They were both full days and Jessica was on it! It was typical for the lender to delay and it was typical for Jessica to fight for me, Her customer. I was so nervous because the lender was so awful and I had worked for 6 months trying to close this deal. I was so relieved when Jessica was in complete control of my closing and the lender's hands were finally off my files. Once she was, my 7 deals closed like clockwork. She arranged the notary that I wanted and the time and place. She got me all the copies I needed and asked for. She emailed me copies and offered to send hard copies of all the documents right to my front door. She arranged for me to get all 14 keys from the Selling side. She made sure I got the list of contact info for all 14 tenants at these 7 duplexes. Jessica left no stone unturned and delivered the absolute BEST service possible. If you want pleasant, friendly, and highly efficient professional service for all your real estate needs, Chose Shaheen Law firm, P.C. I know I will! Doug Keefe

We knew this was going to be a tough case and our chances of winning was not good at all. Parents have more rights than aunts, grandparents etc.. Just because you are a grandmother or aunt is not good enough in the eye's of the court. You have to prove a lot in court and it is not easy at all. We started at ground zero and we were devastated. We searched for a law firm that could represent this special type of case that we were up against. We researched and contacted Barnes & Diehl in Chesterfield VA. We were represented by Mr. John Karanian who put together a magnificent case. He worked diligently and as a result...We won!!! Mr. Karanian is outstanding as an individual. Mr. Karanian is very professional, works very hard for his clients, keeps clients updated, and he never disappointed us. We now have visitation and it would not have been possible without Mr. Karanian. If you feel like you are up against the odds, we can assure you that there is hope at Barnes & Diehl with John Karanian.

I was never asked for money nor did I feel like that's all they cared about. I genuinely felt like they cared and were interested in my best interests. I would highly recommend them.

Review by Danea Yawn, North chesterfield VA Tori Zicker was…read moremy attorney April 23,2023. My other attorney I used the same day for another incident, talked to my spouses attorney who agreed that my spouse would drop her protective order against me if I dropped my protective order against my spouse so that we can have an amicable divorce. This attorney walked over to Tori and I and stated this to us. So I dropped my protective order, believing my spouse had dropped hers. Within seconds, Tori was escorting me into the courtroom for a protective order trial against me, by my spouse. My spouses attorney had lied to my other attorney, and yes this other attorney has recently confirmed this to me. Tori should not have let me enter the courtroom. I didn't understand what was going on. Tori let my star witness come into the courtroom so she couldn't testify on my behalf. A two year protective order was placed on me. I was put out of my home made homeless with my son and 2 dogs. I'm still not divorced due to the noncompiance of my spouses attorney not responding to or delivering requested documents upon my attorneys request. Tori Zicker has destroyed my life, financially and emotionally. I fired her right after the trial. I questioned, on that day, if she truly is an attorney! I don't know if she is with Friedmans Law Firm now, But she was when I had hired her. If she isn't still at Friedmans Law Firm, beware if you come across her name at any other law firms. She's most incompetent and should have her license revolked. Having just realized what really happened that day, I am in the process of taking legal action against Tori Zicker for legal malpractice.

Met with 2 local firms that have excellent repetitions. After all this we finally met with Trey Parker and Victoria Bowling at Carrell Blanton Ferris & Associates. My husband (who practiced law until he retired) and I finally found our law firm and lawyers we felt would represent us in every way we needed. They instructed us through the process. Every question and concern we had was met with clear and helpful responses. They guided us through what we needed to know about creating a Trust, what we needed to consider about our estate, discussed our future and our family needs. We learned to follow and trust their suggestions. We hired them. There was an agreed upon cost and it was clear what we would receive in return. We occasionally have questions regarding how to handle certain things, we always receiving a response to our emails. Most recently we were considering hiring a financial adviser firm which we didn't feel quite comfortable about using. We received information that gave us options to consider. With the most recent stock market decline we are again pleased we had their recommendations. I know Trey and Victoria are always there for us now and as we age. Their age, professional knowledge and honesty brings comfort to my husband and me. I was disappointed to see a one star review and felt I needed to share my thoughts about our experience.

She offered to "go to" his assisted living to have the final documents signed. A courtesy, you might think? When my father's bill arrived, he discovered he was charged over $500 for this visit. How could this be ethical? This was not a kind overture, but a crafty way to eek more money from my father, who was quite upset. M.R. Litman didn't disclose this ahead of time nor did she tell him he needed 2 witnesses. All of this, as well as "how long it took" my father to arrive at the conference room, just added to the bill. Ms. Litman also cited, "unexpected bad traffic." (These quoted excerpts were taken from a defensive email I received from Ms. Litman.) The bottom line is that Ms. M.R. Litman should have acted IN GOOD FAITH and disclosed these exorbitant fees to my 95 year old father. P. Atkins, M.Ed.

If we were't sure how to proceed, the team found out the necessary information/ documentation and report back in a very timely manner.

If I ever did need a other legal representation, Lee and Piracci, PLC, would be my first call.
