Her professionalism and attention to detail gave me confidence during a very difficult time. If you are looking for an attorney who is intelligent, dedicated, and genuinely committed to her clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Jasmine Alvarez. I am sincerely grateful for her guidance, persistence, and exceptional legal representation. She turned a very stressful situation into a positive outcome, and I would not hesitate to hire her again or recommend her to family and friends.

What I really appreciated was how easy he was to reach, he'd actually answer my calls and emails, which isn't always the case with lawyers. He made the whole process smooth and got me a settlement I was really happy with. If you ever need help after an accident, I highly recommend Sylvano. He really cares and has your back. Thank you Sylvano!!!

I don't know what the industry average rate is for this kind of service, but we were able to negotiate lower than his standard rate...although we had to press him a little. I wanted to save money and just do it myself, but the penalty for doing it wrong just seemed too high. Since he is an expert, he was able to give us valuable tips here and there that we would have NEVER thought of, that could certainly mark failure otherwise. We finished the several month long process and we are quite happy with his services. Only thing I didn't like was the receptionist who at times seemed like she had an attitude...and poor phone manners. Other than that, I highly recommend this firm.

My father was eventually released from jail moments after. I wish I could remember most of what happened, however, this was 11 years ago, and I was 8 years old. My father later passed away in 2020 by our sides, due to stage 4 liver cancer. He was not sent back to Argentina, and I was able to grow up with a father by my side until I turned 15. Everyday I thank Paoli for his services whenever I think of my father. We weren't wealthy, but my mom appointed Paoli as our attorney. This was a while ago, but this heavily impacted my decision to study law in college.

In the document review, Ms. Sizer indicated that I should file a specific document related to a trust. My brother would need to sign this document. Since he was coming into the area from out of town, I emailed Ms. Sizer to ask her to send me the document for his signature. I finally got a response from Ms. Sizer after three emails and three phone discussions with her staff over about two weeks. This was part of her response, "As a solo practitioner, I am not able to prepare and provide documents on demand. I give each matter the due diligence it requires and address matters in turn so that every client receives careful and timely attention. Because this approach does not always align with timelines a client may wish to set, I believe it is best to conclude my representation so that you may continue with other counsel who can meet your needs going forward." If Ms. Sizer had responded promptly, this could have been avoided. If she needed more time, she could have let me know. Instead, she chose to remain silent. I have been a practicing attorney for thirty-five years. I hope that she learns that client communication is important.

Updating my review as Yelp did not allow the edit and instead of saying I would give a 1-star…read morereview, I meant I would give 0 stars. In light of my experience at this firm, I am hoping my review will help others who need an attorney. When I first found this firm, I saw all the positive reviews and thought that the service would match but I was wrong. At first, Brandon comes across as very knowledgeable and seemingly prides himself on communication but this quickly changed. After I signed the docs to hire him, my case immediately was given to a case manager. There were issues with services promised that were never completed such as letters of protection, consistent administrative errors on settlement documentation, errors in requesting duplicate records of medical records costing me duplicative, and unnecessary fees to name a few. Even after multiple attempts to get Brandon to address it, the issues continued. The most recent example is on my settlement documentation them listing out medical bills to be paid to providers that had no medical liens, why are you requiring them to be paid out of my settlement if they have no lien on it? And why aren't you communicating with me to discuss this first? There were just constant issues with communication and the more you challenge Brandon, the nastier he got. In one particularly egregious example, they claimed they did not get any of my medical bills reduced. I found this odd and called the places myself and was told that no one from the law firm ever reached out to discuss any medical bill negotiations. One place sent me an email that they never heard from Brandon or anyone from his firm, which I forwarded to Brandon and he completely denied it and tried to make it seem like I made it up. Both he and his paralegal contradict each other in emails and Brandon just keeps saying what a great job they are doing. If you look at their google reviews and even other reviews here on Yelp, it's obvious that I am not the only one with these issues. The most recent act by Brandon was after multiple attempts to get him to address my concerns that went unanswered, I made him aware I would be reaching out to the Virginia Bar for help with mediation. Knowing that I was doing that and knowing that he never responded to any of my emails regarding my concerns, he filed a lawsuit against me. To make matters worse, once I responded to the lawsuit and said that he needed to ensure that the document was correct before I would sign. He wrote me a nasty email back stating how big of a headache I was to his firm (so wanting the bare minimum of customer service and addressing my concerns makes me a headache..got it), he would give me two options. He would remove the legal fees of the lawsuit he filed against me if I would remove what he claimed were false reviews about him and his firm. He also added that if I even so much as THOUGHT about posting another negative review that it would become actionable OR I could sign the document with the legal fees attached. I said I'd sign the document with the legal fees attached because I was not removing my review or my right to think about a review in the future. He responds that he will give me two options for a date for court and will be pursuing attorney fees. So he gave me two options and didn't like the option I chose and so he is continuing with his retaliatory behavior. I have copies of all the documentation from the start until the end to prove everything I am stating. All I can do is give the facts of my experience with firm and let others know how I felt in my dealings with them. To me, there is nothing special about winning a slam dunk case with low policy limits. Customer service matters, integrity matters. If your client is saying there are concerns and missteps, address them. There is zero accountability with Brandon and you are labeled a problem if you expect and demand more than the absolute bare minimum from him. There are so many better personal injury attorneys in Virginia in my opinion, I can recommend a few that I met in this journey that I wish I had hired over this firm. If you would like their names, feel free to reach out!

Hiring Carmichael Ellis & Brock (Yancey Ellis) was one of the best decisions I've ever made for my…read morefamily's legal issue. He is by far the most passionate lawyer I've ever encountered -- zealous, aggressive when needed, and fully dedicated to giving us the strongest defense possible. From start to finish, it was clear that he cared deeply about his craft, his profession, and providing us with the absolute best representation. His representation remains one of the greatest investments and value received to this day! What stood out just as much was the respect he commanded in the courtroom. Even bail bondsmen and court clerks recognized him and noted how he consistently makes prosecutors work hard. That gave me incredible confidence in knowing we had the right person on our side. To this day, I remain blown away by his skill, humility, and thoughtfulness. I only hope he'll still be available if we ever need his services again -- though I wouldn't be surprised to see him rise to even higher levels in his career, which would be well deserved. I highly recommend Yancey Ellis without hesitation.

The best lawyers I have ever worked with! Hiring Jessica…read moreCarmichael was the best decision my family and I could ever make. My brother was accused and eventually charged with marriage fraud, a federal crime, and even though he was and is innocent, the prosecution was dead set on convicting him. When my brother was arrested Jessica was my first phone call and not only had she remembered my brother from a brief consult a year before, but was extremely empathetic to his situation and was ready to help right away. She brought her partner Yancey Ellis to the case and the two of them made a dream team. For the first time in months (and years) I felt I could take a breath and let them take over my fight for my brother. I've had several bad experiences with lawyers and letting go of the reigns and letting the two of them take control was a huge deal and a huge relief because they were kicking ass. Since day one of hiring Jessica and Yancey, they've given it their all and there wasn't a day, email or phone call that went unanswered. They both are very professional, prompt, knowledgeable and heavily involved in their cases. Not only did they give me peace of mind that my brother's life and future are in good hands but accomplished the ultimate results in a record time. With their amazing work they managed to get the case dismissed by prosecution and release my brother sparing him and our whole family humiliation of the trail. Myself, my brother and our whole family is eternally thankful to Jessica and Yancey!! They rock!
