Julie Day is one of Northern Virginia's top divorce lawyers - she is experienced, independent,…read morecapable and down-to-earth. What's more, she is generous of her time, and she was willing to provide important information and guidance on fairly short notice. Though she appears to have a busy practice, she makes you feel as though you are her only client - definitely worth reaching out to her if you are looking for someone solid to represent you in a divorce proceeding.

Her background in business and business law contributes to her particular ability to assess and resolve divorce related issues arising for business owners and their spouses. Her attention to detail combined with this business background yields effective representation for clients with complicated assets. Although she is a skilled litigator, Julie also appreciates the art of creative problem solving and is as effective in negotiation and mediation as she is in litigation.

hired Howard Birmiel for a civil case and paid approximately $30,000 in legal fees…read more We won the case, but the judgment was never collected because the papers were not properly served. As a result, the case later had to be reopened, and I was left having spent $30,000 with no recovery. This was extremely frustrating and financially damaging. Winning a case means very little if the procedural steps are handled incorrectly. I would not hire this attorney again.

"Likely to go out of business soon..." That part of John's 2021 review kind of got to me. Sure,…read moreMr. Howard Birmiel's office is not glamorous and his coffee is bad (he needs a new coffee pot). However, if you have thorny legal and/or tough title problems with your real estate settlement, Howard Birmiel is the attorney to trust. With over 40 years of law experience, real estate buyers and sellers are well served by Mr. Howard Birmiel. I met Howard over 20 years at a settlement with ridiculously tough title issues. The seller hugged Mr. Birmiel at the conclusion of settlement as she was so happy that all title issues were resolved. I have never seen a buyer or seller hug a real estate attorney since then. I think that says it all.

So a year and a half after my original review....Kondori finally responds to me via private…read moremessage, and yet his response is completely condescending (which is probably why he didn't respond publicly). He takes no responsibility for the bad experience I had and told me the lady I spoke with - Ms. Moorad was not even an attorney. So basically she lied to me when I thought I was speaking with an attorney. He further tried to poke holes in my review without even getting the facts right. Hey buddy - instead of getting defensive and trying to imply I'm lying, why don't you show some customer service by finding out what happened and then seeking to address it instead of trying to deny everything. Terrible customer service yet again from this firm.

I would 100% not recommend this firm, everyone from the attorney to the paralegals are insanely…read moreunprofessional. They took over $14,000 from us and literally did nothing then dropped us when we sent them a check in the mail and it was lost. They are more worried about money than they are about actually helping the client. Not to mention they are not transparent I paid $500 just to have a consultation with their main attorney Moghul and he assured me that this would be an easy process but it has been anything but that. They threaten to drop our case about a handful of times before they finally parted ways with us. They are predatory with their practices and suggest you look elsewhere for honest representation, I believe most of their reviews are fake. Update 10/08/2025 After posting this review I have both been texted and emailed with threats from them for taking down a legitimate review. We will not be bullied by this predatory firm. I will also be filing a claim with Virginia's Bar Association and filing a formal complaint with the BBB. Attached to my review is photos showing them threatening me via email and text. You make your decision, but is this really someone who you would want to represent you. These people are vultures. Update 10/10/2025 Not only have they emailed me with letter to sue us thru Fairfax County Circuit Court for writing a legitimate review but they have also left a fake review on our business page pretending to be a customer and we have no one by this name on our data base. Our IT person was able to track down their ip address and came back to them. I ask you as the consumer would you really want someone or a team who carries themselves in this way. They bully you with lawsuits and even will write an actual fake review just to get back at you for making a legitimate review.

10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! I was extremely satisfied with the level of service and professionalism…read morefrom the team at Bolger Law Firm! They are INCREDIBLY responsive, helpful, organized, detailed, professional and efficient - I have only good things to say! I used the Bolger Law Firm for a short-notice signing for paperwork for a real estate transaction, to be signed in-person by my mother in Virginia. To make it more interesting, I was coordinating for my mom remotely from another state. The team made the entire process SO SMOOTH & EXTREMELY EFFICIENT. Before the signing, the team sent a very detailed email outlining the signing procedure and the safety procedures, so we knew exactly what to expect. It was so detailed, even down to the nitty-gritty detail of "you will enter the office and go up the stairs to the 2nd floor" - which was really helpful for me to share with my mom since she was going to an office that she had never been before. The signing was done completely remotely, and the team went above and beyond the safety guidelines, making my mom feel very safe and comfortable throughout the process. The team then scanned and mailed the physical documents to me and I was pleasantly surprised that the documents were split into neat "bundles" and each bundle was labeled with what needed to be signed next, what bundle needed to be notarized, etc. After the signing was over, I had an ad-hoc question about the paperwork and I called the team. They were more than happy to help provide a professional, expert point of view, which was incredibly helpful. Thank you again to the Bolger Law Firm team for your organization, efficiency and professionalism. I would highly recommend the team and would use their service again.

Mr. Bolger handled a very unusual case for me regarding a property dispute. After consulting other…read morelawyers previously I knew I had found the one when it was apparent he was extremely familiar with property law and what options to the court had. Despite being a very stressful time for me, Mr. Bolger kept me calm throughout the process, and saw my case through to a win. Interestingly enough, while I was waiting in court on the day of my trial one of the court reporters for another case who could tell I was extremely nervous had very kind things to say about Mr. Bolger on cases she had seen him handle before. I highly recommend Mr. Bolger!

The professionalism, patience and tolerance Mr. Ebert demonstrated transitioning a husband & wife, multi-specialty practice was remarkable (trust me, it's tricky business!). His commitment to our professional future well-being was unmatched. Also, Brian's sense of humor kept us at ease throughout the entire process. The amount of knowledge and experience with dental practice transitions and the business aspect of dentistry Mr. Ebert exhibited was impressive, add to that reasonable fees, Mr. Ebert's services are in a league of their own. If you need an Attorney for anything Dental, do yourself a favor and don't waste your time somewhere else. The value Mr. Ebert has to offer is almost too good to be true. We are genuinely forever grateful.
