I hired him immediately. His skill in negotiating on my behalf along with keeping me informed through the entire process led to an outcome that was better than I expected. His right hand, Christina, kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes and she was always quick to address my questions every time I reached out. I don't anticipate ever having to hire him again, but should I require an attorney, he's my first call.

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.

She did what she said she would do. She never left me hanging. On the final court date Attorney Alleman stepped in and he was well aware of the status of the case.

This was one of the longest custody trials that our judge has ever seen. Throughout my experience, from the initial phone call to the final day of court, I felt well taken care of and I was confident the best interest of my child was always at the forefront of the case. Mr. Jeffries was straightforward throughout the entire process, steadfast, and provided me with the confidence I needed to make it through this trial. Michelle, his assistant, always greeted me in a warm and friendly manner and was a pleasure to work with as well. Mr. Jeffries is not your average attorney. He is constantly committing his time to researching the most up-to-date legal practices, laws, and relevant information available to provide you with a reliable and competitive advantage in the courtroom. He pays incredible attention to detail and was always prompt to respond when I needed to speak with him. I didn't think I would find an attorney who would care about my case as much as me, but I feel Mr. Jeffries was just as committed and passionate about my case. It is incredibly rare to find an attorney with the experience, knowledge, professionalism, commitment, passion, and care he offers. If you're looking for an attorney, Mr. Jeffries is a wise investment. I highly recommend him!

Please if you only take one thing from my review I would hope it would be that this lawyer and company does not have any interest in protecting women and it has now been proven multiple times. I hired attorney Fred Taylor during one of the most difficult and frightening periods of my life. I was not only fighting for my own safety and future but also for the safety and well-being of my children as we tried to leave a deeply abusive situation. I sought his guidance, advocacy, and protection at a time when I urgently needed all three. Instead, I encountered a level of indifference and unprofessionalism that left me feeling alone when support mattered most. At a point when every decision carried serious consequences for my family, I did not feel heard, nor did I feel that my children's best interests were being meaningfully considered. The legal process was already overwhelming and never bring in tbis type of a situation very naïve, but having an attorney who seemed disengaged and unwilling to advocate for us made an already painful situation even more difficult. I often felt as though I was navigating the process on my own, despite having retained legal representation. My children and I have lived with the consequences of that outcome for years. Through our own resilience, perseverance, and healing, we have built a better life. We are doing well today, but that is the result of our own efforts, not the support we received during that time. An attorney has a responsibility to stand with their clients during the moments that matter most. When someone's safety, future, and family are at stake, they deserve committed, attentive advocacy. That was not my experience. I cannot recommend this attorney to anyone facing a high-conflict divorce or custody case where strong advocacy, professionalism, and genuine concern for a family's well-being are essential.

He was super easygoing and friendly and we bonded over having both gone to JMU! Go Dukes! Fast forward - 10 years later I came back to sell my custom built home to move into a new home and I chose them for my closing agents. They made it super easy - they're now in a snazzy new contemporary building at the Oceanfront with plenty of parking and a crisp, clean feel. I received a friendly confirmation email and some documents to easily sign via docusign when I hired them. Then, my paralegal, Debra, emailed and kept in touch with me in the month leading up to my closing. When the big day finally came, we scheduled a time for me to come in and sign the paperwork. The gals at the front desk greeted me immediately and showed me into a small conference room. My closing lawyer, Lindsey, came in right on time and had all the paperwork ready to go. She easily and quickly walked me through every document and made it super easy for me to sign away my baby (sad face). All in all - as a seller - I was there for about 10 minutes! Documents are always easier when you are selling. I'll continue to use this firm for my real estate needs and highly recommend them.

When I needed to file legal motions against a builder of a personal construction venture, they were my go to without question. This cased spanned a couple years ending in a recent settlement agreement. Legally, I feel confident that the proper motions were followed and done correctly. However, questionable billing, mediocre communication at best in hindsight when it came to personal interaction, and complete disregard of client requests made this experience very difficult, especially as this came at a personal cost to address without trusted resolution. My concerns were escalated to the partners, however, in combination of my direct representation and overall firm response, my concerns were either dismissed and/or not resolved, or in reciept of what I felt to be a patronizing CYA email that only added additional frustration to the underlying issues. As a long-standing client of Hanger Law, not that I felt I needed special treatment/etc..., however, I did expect a suitable level of professionalism to understand the issues taking place to collectively work together to resolve, and it simply did not materialize. Please do your due diligence with this this firm to ensure they will be the right fit for your real estate needs. 5 years is a long time to be aligned with an entity like this, and although it has not been a waste, it's more disappointing than anything else. I am now seeking a new firm that will provide a level of professionalism to address both positive and negative circumstances when tabled, and a sense of appreciation and care when handling all of my referral business. ​​​
