I had to plead my case before going to court and while in court, he was not attentive, he would ask me if I had questions during the trial, and when I came up with the questions myself; he never asked them. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTING!

If you want a detail oriented lawyer I would go elsewhere. He represented me in my divorce…read more During the case I had to prove he agreed to complete aspects of the case when he tried to charge for them as additional to our flat rate agreement. His poor organizational timeline caused unnecessary delays and on multiple occasions he got details of my case wrong and documents had to be redrafted; at least twice confusing my wife's and my information. This was most notable when he thought (well into the case and with a signed property agreement in hand, mind you) that I was paying her in the settlement rather than the reality that I was receiving funds from her. In the end the case went as expected and other than a few weeks worth of unnecessary delays I was not harmed. When looking for a lawyer though, is this really the standard you want to use?

Schmergel & Mersberger, PLC is an outstanding law firm. After several disappointing experiences…read morewith other attorneys, I'm so grateful to have found them. Sean and Zach are exceptional in family law and divorce matters--professional, empathetic, and efficient. They've also brought on Samantha Hargis, who is fantastic. I first interacted with her when she was an intern and again recently during my custody trial--she's incredibly capable and compassionate. If you're looking for a team that genuinely prioritizes the best interests of your children, these are the attorneys to hire. I've also had brief interactions with Dennis Mersberger, who was equally excellent. This firm doesn't waste your time--they listen, they care, and they deliver. I highly recommend Schmergel & Mersberger, PLC to anyone seeking trustworthy and effective legal representation.

Same experience as ZH.B With Schmergel as my lawyer. I was ignored. I had evidence, but it became…read moreevident he preferred to befriend the other lawyer rather than fight for his client. Thank goodness I had resources because I had to fend for myself in my divorce case. After a decade of trauma I had to manage an " I don't believe you" attitude even when I had legally obtained evidence that was clear as day. I had to fend and fight for myself with Sean Smergel as my lawyer. if you need someone who can look at evidence, facts and the law to fight for their clients, don't hire Sean Smergel.

I never post reviews, but if this helps even one person from hiring Mr. Weiss, then it's worth it…read more He doesn't even deserve 1 star. This guy is not about helping his clients. To him, you will be an invoice number. My advice to you is to find a lawyer who doesn't give glib answers to your questions (when you can get a hold of him) and doesn't come up with excuses for his long absences. I was so tired of being in the dark, that I actually had to sign up for a PACER account (https://pacer.psc.uscourts.gov/pscof/login.xhtml) to get answers on the status of my case. I learned more about our case from the public court records then I did from this lawyer. I also found out that he caused a big delay by not filling out a motion correctly. The judge denied our motion to lift the automatic stay because Mr. Weiss missed an important step and we had to let our slimy tenant stay in our property for a few more weeks. He never indicated that the delay was his fault and he still had the nerve to send us another bill. Don't believe the Google reviews like we did.

I have hired every few years it seemed. he has personally saved my life on numerous occasions. here is not a better trial lawyer in the state or country. He has always maintained his integrity. He is feared and respected in the court room. if you want to go to trial hire him. come out your pocket because quality costs but how much is your life worth? how much is your freedom worth? will fight any CURRUPT officer they have in Loudoun. he is well rounded being a Fairfax prosecutor for years and thank god is on the right side now. I have been to trial on three occasions on three separate cases and he won each one for me. to all the snitches, keep your mouth shut and lawyer up. best believe these cops make mistakes and he will find it and tear it up in court. US ATTORNEYS REPRESENTED BY HE UNITED STATES said quote "might be the best trial lawyer in the country" and I believe it.

Alex Levay was referred to me, I thought he would have been a good lawyer for my case but…read moreunfortunately I was wrong. Not only did he lie to me but he was unjust and deceiving. He spent at the most 30 minutes on my case and charged me $2k nonrefundable retainer. The worst part is he didn't do what I paid him to do. As a female I felt like he was very arrogant with me and didn't listen to what the end goal was In my case. Not only did this cost me a family member but now i am very emotional each day since the event. I would never recommend Alex to anyone. Alex is not honest and only cares about his financial outcomes when he has clients. He doesn't care about the his clients or the end goal, he takes short cuts and doesn't consider the client's overall goals. He takes your money and fails to execute the goals agreed to.

Baby mama uses private school as daycare which I objected to from the beginning. I can see him paying for daycare IF she was working FT, at the going rate. But, she works PT with an intent to work FT. He still has not seen his son in 3 months. While I admit it's not entirely their fault, I think they could've done better.
