Rutter Mills is one of the top personal injury attorney firms in Coastal Virginia. I didn't contact…read morethem when I had my traumatic & life changing car injury in 2014. I wish I had. I wanted a firm that had an attorney I knew. After retaining that firm I learned that the attorney I knew had retired and was referring his cases to a new associate, who also eventually left. Handling my case then was a partner. I've since learned that the father of one of my son's children's theatre friends was an attorney at Rutter Mills. I feel certain he would have given my case the attention it deserved. And I'm also sure he would have known how to handle my emotions during depositions when I would cry because of the part of my life that was forever changed and the fact that the accident killed my beloved dog. The firm I hired recommended I settle for less than I deserved & had lost because the process was so upsetting for me. Rutter Mills handled the case of a former theater kid after his wife was killed in an automobile accident. I feel certain his case must have been gone so well because of the attorney we had both known so long. Should I ever have the need for a personal injury attorney firm again, I would certain retain Rutter Mills despite the fact that my friend has recently retired.

This experience has been incredibly disappointing and emotionally exhausting for my family. When…read moreyou hire a lawyer, you're trusting them to fight for you and protect your best interests during one of the most difficult times in your life. Unfortunately, that's not how we felt throughout our case. Instead of feeling supported, I felt like I constantly had to ask questions, follow up, and even uncover problems on my own. Finding out that certain things hadn't been done after being told they had was heartbreaking and made it very difficult to trust the process. I understand that law firms handle many clients, and I never expected constant updates. What I did expect was honesty. If there were delays or setbacks, I would have appreciated being told the truth instead of feeling like I was being misled. More than anything, I felt like my family's best interests came second. We deserved someone who would genuinely fight for us and treat our case with the care and attention it deserved. This experience added unnecessary stress to an already painful situation, and I hope no other family has to feel the same disappointment that we did.

If there zero star I will choose it. Ms. Hadley good in sending you invoice but not a good fighter…read more She charged me 61,000 in 8 months. Lost all my cases with her. The ironic thing that my ex sign a prenuptial contract to pay all the legal fees. When the judge saw the way she charges me he ordered that my ex pay 25000 only cause she changed me in ridiculous way my ex attorney send someone to retake a document from Hadley office she charged me 200 dollars. After all of this the judge give her one week to finish the divorce decree she is behind 4 weeks now. I had physical custody from the beginning then the ex file to have the custody 50/50 she could not keep the full custody for me and he wins. I have been I full time mother since my kids born my son is 10 years now. She could not help me to have full spouse support and the judge imputed my spouse support 17.50 per hour. I am asking her to give a hard copy from my orders her office refuses to help me and prepare this for me to pick up. After the judge ordered to close the case after one week from the trial she is behind 4 weeks and I called several times to set deadline with her to close the case and she does not want to give a deadline and he does not want to close the case. Every month she was charging me from 7 to 10 thousand dollars. I do not know how to say that but when she talks in the court judge does not consider her talk. Not strong fighter. Something also I did not like she charged me all this money and in the court she does not talk too much infront of the judge. Every time she was talking to the judge she talks about 5 minutes. The ex attorney was talking and reading from papers. The performance so weak, the invoices huge. Update: now they decree is not entered yet, so Ms Hadley had 25000 to be paid by the ex. So, what they do Ms. Hadley and the other attorney of the ex black mail me that if I do not sign the deeds of the houses they will not enter the decree in the court and when I said I am not going to sign the deed till he refinance the house under my name they said ok we will enter the decree tomorrow. Consulting other attorney, they said it is black mail. Gathering with my ex against me so he pays her the balance. After I called her and I said to her you are black mail me you and the ex attorney, answer was you do not have to sign now the deeds. Really, I have been told if I do not sign the deeds they will not send the decree to the court and they will take me to the court. Too much money and poor service. Update: the receptionist is the most disrespectful person you will meet in the Virginia beach law offices. She is discriminator. Second, after all of this experience and charges Ms. Hadley saying that she worked for free. Also, the decree that has been sent to the court to be signed was rejected by the the office of the judge cause it has a list of corrections that she has to correct so the judge has to sign it. This decree has to be finished in beginning of my now we are 30th of june. Update: here is the result she does not want to finish the case and the divorce decree. The ex does not want to Pay the child support and spouse support and she does not do any thing for that. She does not care about me or my kids and I do not know why she wants to stay in my life. She just send invoices. I am telling ms. Hadley the ex did not pay the support, she answered back ( go find a job). Wow Update: now we are about to be in August and Ms. Hadley does not want to finish up my divorce decree and she said that she will keep sending me invoices as long as the case opened and I want to close the case and have my decree. I think she keeps the case opened to keep charging me. I am asking here when she will finish the divorce decree her answer is she does not know!!!!!!!! Update: the judge ruled that the ex pays Ms. Hadley 25000$. Of course she made sure to write it in my divorce decree. Now, she wants to collect the money twice one from the ex according to the judge rules, and once again from me she wants 33000 $ from me. She caused alot of problems and lost

They were able to get my case to the finish line and with highly favorable outcomes with lower costs than expected. 1. Understanding the options and legal process: I had no background in law or experience with involved divorce cases prior to experiencing my own. Cherish and LaCretia were able to easily explain and put in simple terms my options and different approaches to the case that I could understand. I feel this gave me a better idea of the decisions I would make to determine the future. They were outstanding at this. 2. Taking onboard Client input: After helping me understand the status of the case, Cherish and LaCretia were very open and receptive on my input. They made it feel like a team effort and I feel this resulted in more favorable results for my case. 3. Ease of communications: For a good majority of my case process, I lived out of state moving multiple times through the process. I always felt I could call or email and would receive a timely response with useful information. 4. Understanding the costs of decisions: Cherish and LaCretia did an outstanding job of not only taking into account my desired outcome but also helping me understand the general costs of each option. 5. Rapidly up to speed: My original case started in Northern VA. Cherish and LaCretia were easily brought up to speed in my case and immediately stepped into some contested issues early on and they made excellent recommendations. If you are unhappy with your lawyer and thinking of a switch, they can easily take over your case. Overall, I couldn't be more happy with my experience at Hadley Law.

Only reason I'm giving this place even 1 star is because Shawn Clines other attorney in his office,…read moretook over my case and got it dismissed. I would never recommend Cline to anyone. I don't even know where to start. We went to his office to talk to him about my case, he seemed like he knew what he was doing so we decided to hire him. I was told that I would need to take a paper to the court to continue my case because Cline was out of town. Fine. The court date was continued. There was a period of 2 months between that court date and the next one. I never heard from him. I called, emailed, left messages, nothing. The case was important to my husband and I. Seemed like it wasn't at all to him. Two days before the court date, he called me back and we briefly discussed my case. When we got to court it was a disaster. He had no clue what was going on and when the judge asked him questions he was lost. Embarrassing. The court date was continued again. When leaving he pretty much told me good luck I'll see you next court date. No help or anything. Mind you my husband and I have had to go through a lot of hoops which our particular situation. In between the court dates same thing...nothing. Until finally Clines law partner reaches out. He was the only one who actually communicated with us and helped us. Which is the only reason like I said this place gets a star at all. All and all Cline was not a good choice for us.

They took on a case that every other firm had turned down, with very little to gain, yet they stood unwaveringly for what was right and gave a voice to someone who had none. The care, compassion, and commitment they showed throughout our case far surpassed our family's expectations. I'll admit that before this experience, I didn't fully appreciate the legal profession -- I had the stereotypical "ambulance-chaser" image in mind. But my perspective has completely changed. Good attorneys bring accountability, protect people, and help prevent future harm, and this team embodied all of that. They handled our case with such genuine care that, by the end, it felt like they were part of our family. Their focus was always on honoring our wishes, respecting our privacy, and seeking justice. God bless all who dedicate themselves to protecting the innocent and preventing future harm. Matthew 25:40 -- "And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'"
