I purchased a property in February 2025 and was referred to this law firm by my real estate agent…read moreto handle the closing. By the end of February 2026 -- a full year later -- I still never received any physical closing documents from this firm.Looking at the tax card on the county website it still shows the builder as the owner. After closing, they only sent me a perfunctory set of digital documents via email, which contained serious issues: 1. The electronic signatures were not my actual signatures and did not match my real signature at all.I wanted to be at the law firm in person to sign the documents; after all, real estate transactions are not small matters, and I really didn't feel safe if I didn't even know where their office was located. 2. In the documents, each page requires both the buyer's signature and the seller's signature. However, signatures from both parties are missing on every page--either the seller's signature is missing, or the buyer's signature is missing., making the documents incomplete. Over the past year, I repeatedly followed up through my agent, but the issues were never resolved. Worse still, this law firm failed to record the deed and ownership with the county government in a timely manner. As a result, the property is still legally under the previous owner's name today. I have never received a tax bill for this property, and the county tax office confirmed there is no tax record under my name for this address. The firm's excuse was that Pasquotank County government is too slow. However, facts prove this is not true. I purchased a second property in the exact same neighborhood, same county, and processed by the exact same government office just one month later in same year. That closing was handled by Thomas Law Firm, who was professional, responsive, and responsible. They provided me with a complete, organized physical folder with all closing documents, properly recorded the deed promptly Approximately 50 -60 pages of documents, and I received my tax bill on time and paid it without issue. If the county was truly the cause of the year-long delay, the second property should have been delayed as well. The huge difference in service proves the problem was the law firm's failure to perform its basic duties, not the county. I am deeply concerned about potential late fees, penalties, or legal issues caused by this ongoing negligence. I have formally stated in writing that any fines or liabilities resulting from the firm's inaction and failure to fulfill its responsibilities as closing attorneys must be borne by the law firm, not me.

Cristina James, where do I start? I left a review about her before and I'm writing another to let…read moreyou all know that you can't go wrong by hiring Ms. James. Ms. James s a phenomenal GAL for our community kids who are seeking, love, safety, stability , and structure in the home for children that have two families who love them. I met with Ms. James in 2018 when she became my godson's Guardian ad Litem (GAL). Ms. James came to my home to visit my godson on one of our visitation days. She talked and played football with him, oh and he loved that. Ms. James represented my godson's case for four long years and she saw fit that we should stay in his life every time we went to court, while the other parties were fighting to remove us. Ms. James is a hard-working GAL that doesn't take being a GAL lightly. I say that because I have witnessed her in the courtroom shedding a tear about her client. That's how passionate she is about saving our youth. Family cases can be draining, overwhelming cases and the GAL can get burnt out with both parties. If you decide to hire Ms. James as a GAL remember she works for the child and not for you. If you comply with the court order she will make sure you will have some type of visitation with the child. She doesn't believe in taking a child out of a household that they are already in, but if it's signs that the child is failing in society she will. Hire Ms., James you won't regret it. #WeWon

Review for Attorney David Scott Dildy:…read more On December 17th, 2025, in court room 5B, at 0900, both parties were waiting in their respective places in the court room, with the bailiff present. The judge had not yet come into the court room. Mr. Dildy and the GAL (***) were talking across the room to each other about traveling to France and speaking French. Mr. Dildy said out loud, across the court room (Ms. *** was seated in the jury box), "Do you know why the French plant trees on both sides of the road"? Everyone in the room stopped and looked at Mr. Dildy. He proceeded to say, "so the Germans can march in the shade". Attorney *** and Dildy exchanged laughter at the punch line of the statement. This comment is extremely offensive to us since we are of German heritage. My family immigrated from Germany right before the war- I have an uncle who was made to fight for the Americans against his own family in Germany. He came back to the US after the war to commit suicide over the atrocities of war. Our ties to our German Heritage and Jewish family and friends will never find this type of oppressive language acceptable and for the court to allow an officer of the court to do so is NOT ACCEPTABLE. The loss of millions of lives is NOTHING to laugh about. There is absolutely NO humor in the loss of millions of lives. Our last name is an obvious German name. Why is this acceptable? Do you have an anti-Semitic officer of the court? Mr. David Dildy needs to be held accountable for his actions and the commonwealth of Virginia needs to ensure he attend and have documented unconscious bias counseling. I could not speak against this inappropriate language as I felt it would harm our son and generate repercussions against his case. There were multiple witnesses to the exchange. I'm sure the cameras in the court room recorded the exchange as well. We did not feel safe in that court room. If this officer of the court has this bias, is the rest of the Norfolk Va, judicial system like this? Our liberty was taken from us- we didn't feel free to speak against such inappropriate language. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ATTORNEY!

Do all you can to bring them justice. it's not always about the money but justice compensating those have been hurt. especially when it's not their fault. do all you can for your client and think about lowering your percentage to the standard or even lower it , you would get more clients...
