UPDATE: I got what I…read morewanted and what I KNEW was in the best interest of my children. I thought it was settled, nope. My Ex filed again for the exact same thing, EXACT same thing. I sent it over to Mike (this time, more irritated than worried). I KNOW I'm in good hands, I stressed alot less after having him. We finally appeared for the judge to decide if we need to go to trial again, Mike shut it down immediately. He was slick and smooth and knew exactly what to use. It was literally magic.No shit. I had to literally jump for joy once the court room's doors closed. Mike was happy that I was happy and I saw it right then and there, he gave a shit. Not only cause WE won but because he made his client happy. I've heard horror stories about Lawyers costing people an arm & a leg and still not being happy with results. That wasn't the case- Mike was very reasonable and honest. I appreciate that. He was very upfront about the costs of things and didn't bs around it. I'm VERY happy with what I received and it was worth every penny. He truly does provide quality service. All BS aside, Mike knows what he's doing. Stop stressing, make your life easier and just hire him. You WON'T regret it. I promise! Now understand this is in the courts hands and all depends on the mood the judge wakes up in but Mike is your best fucking chance. He will ALWAYS be my go to. ALWAYS. Thanks again Mike, for everything! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you

Forget any negative reviews concerning Mr. Daugherty. He handled 18 months legal work for me in a…read morechild custody/divorce case. First, Donald genuinely cares about his clients and focuses on getting the best results. Secondly, Donald is experienced. He's in that courtroom everyday and has a great predictability in how the judges think. Donald is very wise. While polite to his judicial adversaries, Donald does not cringe in tough situations. We're talking about a U.S. Army Lt. Colonel who survived the jungles of Vietnam. In a word, Donald wins. And his legal fees are reasonable. Donald doesn't not nickel and dime like many other lawyers. He'll give you a fee and all the courtroom appearances, phone calls, letters written, photo copies, etc. are under that umbrella. If you have a moment of pause on the legal fees, look at this way -what would be cost of judgements that don't go your way. Donald successfully thwarted opposing lawyer attempts for me to pay their client's legal fees. That alone save me tens of thousands of dollars. He won monetary judgements for me that I had not asked. What you're getting with Mr. Daugherty is client honesty, solid legal knowledge, and decades of daily courtroom experience. Donald cares about his clients and he wins. Donald is a rare, affordable super lawyer and you want this man representing you.

I recently found myself in need of a lawyer for traffic court. Andrew was one of many that I…read moretalked to understand what I was up against. As I have never gotten a ticket in VA before, there were many things new to me as far as the process here. For one thing any speeding over 20mph is a reckless driving charge. Andrew was very thorough in building an action plan to help reduce the impact of my ticket. He was able to explain his approach and this really set my mind at ease. He was one of the few lawyers that wanted me to be present during the court date and to be fully engaged in the process. We arrived early at court and we were able to secure a conference room to discuss the plan that morning. He was able to execute the plan perfectly. In the end we got a reckless charge reduced to a no points infraction. I could not have asked for a better outcome or better representation. Also, I could see in his interactions with the judge, prosecutor and law enforcement that he has built good working relationships with all of them. Additionally, he took the time to get to know my background and was able to use this during negotiations.

Kallie Crawford of Krum Gergely represented me. I choose to go with her because:…read more 1) Krum Gergely was the best reviewed firm of the traffic lawyers that reached out to me 2) When doing a phone consultation with Kallie - she had the most practical strategy and best advice by far. She didn't use scare tactics or extremism like other consultations. And she seemed to really understand my circumstance. 3) The retainer cost was also the most competitive by far! Throughout the process (pre court), her team was responsive by text and email, including remainders on court date and traffic school recommendation, which I greatly appreciated. They seemed really on top of it and available. Most importantly, the day of my traffic hearing she was really proactive and aggressive in handling the process. She negotiated with all parties and then represented me to the judge as well. She made sure the terms worked for me. I didn't have to face the judge, prosecutor or witness. She handled everything. The entire process literally took about 20 minutes and I was on my way with the most favorable outcome. Super efficient and stress free process, after months of worrying about the outcome. I wished I had hired her earlier on. Overall I would rate the experience 10/10 and could not recommend them more!!! So very grateful and eternally thankful!!! I couldn't be happier with the services offered. Highly highly recommend.

I wish I could leave a rating of -5!…read more In April of 2022, I hired Mr. Florian Tabaku esq, an attorney at James Crawford law firm in Linthicum Heights, Maryland, to represent me in my divorce case. My experience with Mr. Tabaku and this firm was absolutely terrible! I had to schedule regular meetings with Mr. Tabaku to make sure things were being completed in the time frame he told me they would. Either Mr. Tabaku and James Crawford law firm are way too busy or there was simply a lack of interest in my case. Mr. Tabaku frequently promised to file motions, request subpoenas and other work would be completed by certain dates and would not be delivered. I would give an additional 3-day grace period and it still would not be done so I was compelled to begin scheduling weekly meetings to make sure he is doing the things he is promising he would do by the dates he promised them. These weekly meetings added up my costs. Additionally, my father, uncle, and I had to have more than 7 meetings with Mr. Tabaku and/or Zachary Groves (Partner at James Crawford Law Firm) to address Mr. Tabaku's lack of responsiveness (disappearing for weeks at a time), late motions, and other grievances. Ironically, I was billed for these meetings as well. I would not have had to request these meetings regularly if Mr. Tabaku had simply met the expectations he set. Divorce is a very stressful event as it is. For your attorney to not meet deadlines that were promised to me and with no communication only further adds to the anxiety. My grievances with this law firm include: * Intentionally setting false expectations about my case to run up my costs * An inability or unwillingness to give me a straight answer about what kind of outcome to expect in my case * Terrible responsiveness- Phone calls or emails not being returned for up to 4 weeks at a time * Numerous mistakes made on my case then lying to cover it up * Billing me for time taken to fix his mistakes * Other unethical billing practices * Disinterest and lack of any compassion during my entire case * Continual disorganization or confusion concerning my case * An inability to remember key facts about my case despite billing many hours for "review" * Lack of trust due to numerous untruths * Completely ignoring important deadlines which cost me additional legal fees * Documents or information I have been promised that never appear then billing me for follow up * Disagreement about my bottom-line goals in the case * Deviation from what we have agreed to ask for or do without an explanation * Engaging in unnecessary actions that run up attorney fees * Repeatedly doing what he wanted instead of doing what I asked * Rude and disrespectful communication * Negligence: typos and errors in multiple documents filed As it stands, I have accumulated over $50,000 in legal fees when my case did not even make it to trial. My life has been a complete hell since this order was entered and a large part of this is due to Mr. Tabaku's overpromises, miscommunication, unjust billing practices, and pure outright negligence. Even a 100% refund would not make up for the stress and pain I have endured. Hire Florian Tabaku at James Crawford Law firm if you want your life ruined!

I had physical custody of my three young children, when my ex-wife filed for a custody…read moremodification. She was represented by two well-seasoned divorce and child custody trial lawyers with experience in national high-profile cases. After almost two years of paying my attorney, I could not afford to pay her to represent me at my child custody, child support and divorce trials. I was referred to Mr. Tabaku by my ex-lawyer after my ex-wife and her attorneys bankrupted me. Mr. Tabaku understood my trouble and agreed to represent me. The first time I met Mr. Tabaku, I immediately noticed his calm demeanor. He listened and was genuinely sympathetic. There was a quiet confidence about him that brought me peace. I was so use to complete chaos. My ex-attorney and my ex-wife's attorneys yelling and arguing every conversation. All the lies and ill feelings. Life was stressful! Mr. Tabaku changed all of that immediately. Mr. Tabaku took over my case shortly before my child support and child custody trial. I was a nervous wreck! Almost two years of paperwork behind my children and I. How on God's green earth was he going to know everything before trial? The day of the trial, Mr. Tabaku knew the LAW and we won our trial. Mr. Tabaku later got me what I wanted in the divorce too. My wife appealed the decision but Mr. Tabaku was flawless in handling the appeal as well. Never giving into the opposition's shenanigans or intimidation tactics. I thank God, I crossed paths with Mr. Tabaku. He is truly a genuine person and is committed to fight for fathers' rights! Although I would not expect anything less for mothers' rights. He is passionate about his work and clients. My children and I Thank him!

This can be a good thing, yet how do you narrow down your search, to find the right one? There is the net, sources offline to find lawyers, and even word of mouth. Rarely do I give anyone or anything five stars here. Yet I'm proud of what Dan has done for me, in a rather unusual family case, and am glad to give him a complete recommendation. He covers all areas of the law, but is knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and is also extremely bright. Dan found information that other attorneys didn't, and he is the best guide for you with the Virginia court system. That alone is a jungle. Not sure if it's because of commonwealth laws or what, but Dan is able to wade through the minutiae quickly. This sharpness is guaranteed to help you, as you want top notch legal support for important matters in the ride of life. I would say hire him, but if you do visit lawyers to decide which one, please add him to your list. He is very responsible, as well as being responsive. I like his demeanor in and out of court. He's a family man, and this comes in handy too, as the way he handles information and witnesses is comprehensive. If you need a lawyer, this is the one you should have in your corner. He has impeccable communication skills, and also is incredible calming clients down. Court is a stressful place. I cannot lie, as having been through other challenges, this case has been up there with overall concerns. Dan has moved mountains, even in covid, to make sure that one person was going to be in the best situation possible. That alone is peace of mind, and things are better due to Dans efforts. Definitely in your search whether criminal or civil cases, this is one attorney you'll want to consider in your and this is meant, vital search for your or others best interests being represented. I've worked with other attorneys, and Dan got results, which is very impressive. Thank you to Dan, as he makes sure your interests are represented fully, and he's no empty suit when it's court time.
