    I can't speak on the other lawyers at his firm but Alex Levay was my personal lawyer for almost 20…read moreyears. since I was 18. I have hired every few years it seemed. he has personally saved my life on numerous occasions. here is not a better trial lawyer in the state or country. He has always maintained his integrity. He is feared and respected in the court room. if you want to go to trial hire him. come out your pocket because quality costs but how much is your life worth? how much is your freedom worth? will fight any CURRUPT officer they have in Loudoun. he is well rounded being a Fairfax prosecutor for years and thank god is on the right side now. I have been to trial on three occasions on three separate cases and he won each one for me. to all the snitches, keep your mouth shut and lawyer up. best believe these cops make mistakes and he will find it and tear it up in court. US ATTORNEYS REPRESENTED BY HE UNITED STATES said quote "might be the best trial lawyer in the country" and I believe it.

    Alex Levay was referred to me, I thought he would have been a good lawyer for my case but…read moreunfortunately I was wrong. Not only did he lie to me but he was unjust and deceiving. He spent at the most 30 minutes on my case and charged me $2k nonrefundable retainer. The worst part is he didn't do what I paid him to do. As a female I felt like he was very arrogant with me and didn't listen to what the end goal was In my case. Not only did this cost me a family member but now i am very emotional each day since the event. I would never recommend Alex to anyone. Alex is not honest and only cares about his financial outcomes when he has clients. He doesn't care about the his clients or the end goal, he takes short cuts and doesn't consider the client's overall goals. He takes your money and fails to execute the goals agreed to.

    I was not impressed with Mr. Kershner, a partner at Simms, Showers, LLC in Leesburg…read more I hired him to fight charges against Loudoun Co Animal Control for being in violation of Federal ADA 28 CFR 35.138, Service animals, I am both mentally and physically disabled, covered under the ADA as well as my service dog. Mr. Kershner wasn't prepared at all, he waited until the day of the trial to "prep" my witness an hour before the hearing, however, he showed up 45 minutes late and did not prep any of my witnesses and it turned into a mess. Since I am Disabled, he assured me that my doctors statement and state medical reports were enough to prove to the courts my disabilities, with the DA offering a continuance to have my doctor there, I asked if my doctor was needed, he replied no, which was another big mistake, He went in front of a judge with a legal document for injunctive relief, that had a MAJOR omission in it, I sent him an email stating that is wasn't true, but he submitted it to the courts without correcting it, thus making me look guilty. After reading over the transcripts of the Court hearing, it appeared that he was helping the DA with their case instead of defending me. I ended up being tried as a non-disabled person and therefore, my service dog was considered a pet and was taken from me by the courts. All because of Mr. Kershner's inadequate preparation, it cost me a small fortune. I am now in Federal Court forcing Loudoun Co to comply with Federal ADA Law.

    Caleb Kershner.. not effective counsel if you need an attorney as green card holder or under any…read moreother immigration status (don't judge as nobody is perfect and we all mistakes in life). Dude, literally told me I would be fine pleading guilty to a lower charge with a sentence he said would not bring me trouble down the road.. so I did as he told me.. Few years later his ineffective counsel almost got me shipped back to a war zone (again, don't judge I'm sure you are not perfect). I tried to get the conviction vacated through a habeas and instead of admitting his ineffectiveness this man completely goes against me allowing the prosecution to dismiss my claim. LIAR.

    The best attorneys around. Excellent communicators, empathetic, efficient, and effective. Though a…read moresmall firm, they cover various practice areas. For the people!

    I am an officer for a non-profit and we hired Jim Campbell of Campbell-Flannery for two tasks:…read more1) Represent us in the sale of assets and develop an agreement for such a sale 2) Represent us in a law suit against our Treasurer who mis-appropriated funds For the asset sale, we expected Jim to use his legal knowledge to keep us out of trouble when selling or otherwise disposing of assets. He wrote up an agreement to sell all of our assets and when the IRS saw it after the sale, they said it was an illegal sale of assets. The agreement Jim wrote was illegal in its basic makeup. He even had a paragraph in the agreement that spelled out the illegal part of the transaction. We hired him to keep us legal and he did just the opposite. He clearly did not know what he was doing. In court he did even worse. He said he would request certain documentation from the defendant and never followed-through with that. He filed documents with the court that had the wrong name for the organization on them, as if he was using some type of boilerplate document and failed to change the names. He did not familiarize himself with the case, even though I personally provided him with a great deal of material. When opposing counsel started to tear him apart, he was not able to think on his feet and came up with a pathetic approach that made no sense at all. I could see the judge and everyone else (including me) perplexed at his line of questioning that only reinforced the case being presented by the defendant's competent attorney. It was embarrassing. He failed to call any of our witnesses to the stand, even though several had been subpoenaed. He was late for trial, missing a pre-trial meeting, and it seems that all he wanted to do was to get it over and move on to something else. The judge had no problem tossing the case out. In my experience, Jim Campbell has limited knowledge of the law; no instincts to help in unfamiliar situations in court, and no real desire to do much of anything besides collect his fees. He clearly is NOT an attorney who I would hire again for ANYTHING.

    This is the kind of person who signs a lease under bad faith to rent a home from someone and then…read morestops paying rent 3 months into a 1 year contract. It would seem he may have done it multiple times too: just check his Loudon County court activity. He will give you one sob story after another. After we tried to evict him, he tried to fight it in court and live in our home rent-free while the process played out. His actions show an antipathy for the law; he enjoys life under its comfortable blanket, using his knowledge as a lawyer to take advantage of those of us who just want to rent our home out to honest, hard-working people. Maybe he assumed he could just take advantage of us and we wouldn't be able to do anything about it. We were lucky that we had the means to hire an attorney to have him evicted. We now have a $24k+ judgement to collect; I don't expect we'll ever see any of that money. If you're comfortable hiring someone who does this kind of thing to other people, then please proceed. Otherwise, I'd recommend hiring a different attorney.

    I just wanted to say I have had a horrible time trying to get in contact with Tom. After my husband…read morepaid him $ 2500.00, he hasn't followed though with the case we have left MSG daily.He hasn't bothered to call us back. I left him a letter put it under his door and he still hasn't called. Now I guess I need to follow though by myself. why do we pay so much for lawyers? They rip us off just like the system. I have lost a lot of money because Tom Didn't follow though on another case for me. I had a head injury. He tried to blame it on me. Said I told him I had a claim number. I did have a claim number. Then I hired him he sat on it. Then the stature of limitation per Colorado law expired. Way to go Tom ! May God Bless You And Your Family. Yvonne M
