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!

The Friedman firm has been phenomenal to me, and I've worked with many attorneys. Thumbs up big time! Thanks guys!! :)

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.

The attorney, Kevin, called on time and was very kind. He listened to what I had to say, asked questions about the contract and explained to me my options, which pretty much weren't any. 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.

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.

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.

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.

We each had less than an hour that was good for them because Charles was ready to mop the floor with him. Charles did his homework before the case he actually caught another lie while in court and went back up to question him about it. I am so so happy with the results. Put his name in Chatgpt lol.
