My son had a reckless driving ticket. He was clocked at 98 MPH. A misdemeanor charge and/or…read morepossible jail time could have resulted in his loss of his apprenticeship, job and other serious consequences. We got a bunch of mailings from attorneys. Talked to a couple of them but I knew, once we were in contact with Andrew and his staff, that he was the right attorney to work with. We were very fortunate to get his charges reduced. We felt like we were in great hands. He was honest, straightforward and on court day we could tell he was respected and liked by the court staff and sheriffs. My husband wishes we could give him 10 stars!

Andrew has helped us with two speeding tickets in the past 10 years. We felt is was more…read moreadvantageous to pay Andrew's (reasonable) fees rather than to see how my insurance would be affected. While my tickets were basic speeding tickets, Andrew was more than effective in getting the tickets dismissed and my driving record cleared. I imagine his services are that much more valuable for more serious offenses. He fully represented me and I never had to travel to court. Communication was regular and friendly from either Andrew or his administrative team. He has a good rapport with area judges, which helps to determine how he will argue your case. He even gives a repeat customer discount (though I wish I didn't have knowledge of that...). Don't forget to do your homework and follow through with any driving school programs he recommends. If you don't, Dawn will remind you! Disclaimer: Just drive safely...hopefully you'll never need Andrew at all!

Offer no advice on what legal options or protection for parent violating the custody agreement useable. Was told court custody document once approved by court can't be modified after 10 days. Not true. Associate seem to have minimal knowledge of parent custody state laws or process. Not very helpful at all did not seem interest in providing legal assistance. Very disappointed and unexpected outcome for seeking advice and legal recourse for child custody.

Worst decision I ever made…read more If you want a divorce lawyer that doesn't know the law, that doesn't have time for your case, that doesn't understand the impacts of divorce on veteran's benefits (despite "specializing" in military divorce), that cannot make a coherent argument, that won't even answer your emails when the court loses your divorce decree for a month...Then you should hire Jamel Rowe at Livesay & Myers. She is, in short, completely incompetent and her response to being overwhelmed by her job is to ignore her client. She gave me terrible advice from the beginning, mishandled the actual trial, was hoodwinked by opposing counsel either for lack of attention or incompetence or both. I finally had to make demands of her superiors to get a basic response when the court lost my divorce and no one knew what the judge's final decision was. Hiring Jamel Rowe of Livesay & Myers was probably the the most catastrophically bad decision I have ever made; one I will be paying for quite literally for the rest of my life.

It is difficult to put into words how grateful I am for Mary Elizabeth White and the work she did…read moreon my behalf. During one of the most painful and challenging seasons of my life -- a long and exhausting custody battle that ultimately went all the way to the Virginia Court of Appeals -- Mary Elizabeth stood beside me with strength, wisdom, and unwavering dedication. From the very beginning, she believed in my case and fought tirelessly to make sure my voice was heard. Family court can be incredibly overwhelming, especially when emotions are high and the stakes involve the well-being of your child. Mary Elizabeth handled every challenge with professionalism, intelligence, and confidence. What meant the most to me was not only her legal expertise but also her compassion. She understood that behind every case is a family and a person trying to hold their life together. During moments when I felt discouraged or afraid, she remained steady and determined, and her advocacy made all the difference. Because of her hard work and commitment, we prevailed in a case that helped protect my daughter's stability and future. I will always be grateful for the role she played during such an important chapter of my life. Mary Elizabeth White is not only an exceptional attorney but also a person of integrity who truly fights for her clients. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, dedicated, and compassionate advocate. See Mastoras v. Mastoras, Virginia Court of Appeals (June 10, 2008) With sincere gratitude, Rebecca Michael ~ Formally Rebecca Mastoras

I retained Mr. Dance two years into my divorce. After two scheduled mediations, there was little…read moremovement in my case and I was still not receiving child support payments. Being at my wits end, I found Mr. Dance through Superlawyers.com. Mr. Dance is rated a "Rising Star" by his peers and that meant something to me. Within a week (my pendente lite case was already scheduled) Mr. Dance successfully negotiated child support for me way over the guidelines. Within two weeks of retaining Mr. Dance, an additional mediation was scheduled. I was skeptical and hesitant to attempt an additional mediation, but trusted Mr. Dance's advice and I'm so glad I did. With Mr. Dance at the helm, this round went much different than the last. Mr. Dance has a straight forward approach of dealing with his clients that is so refreshing. He doesn't mince words but does it in a way that lets you know you are being heard and taken care of. He is a great communicator letting you know what is happening with your case all along the way. When I retained Mr. Dance, I was looking for a finisher. A strong confident attorney that could push back and stay strong against my spouse's northern Virginia attorney. Mr. Dance played that role masterfully and I was so thankful to have him on my side. If you are facing a divorce, do yourself a favor and retain Mr. Dance. He is by far the best value for your money in the Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania area. Coming to him first would have saved me a tremendous amount of money.
