Sat down with Mr Harding for a consultation (20 minutes after our scheduled appointment time) and…read morewent over paperwork. He seemed frazzled and hurried, did offer a little information regarding options, but mostly told us what he would not do... when he seemed to get annoyed with our lack of knowledge (the reason we were hiring a lawyer, I thought), he swiftly informed us of his $300/hour rate and of the $3,000 we would have to put down to cover the first 10 hours (an expense we have anticipated and are prepared to pay once we find an attorney we like) and cut our meeting short. We won't be hiring him due to 1) his unapologetic tardiness - I've had bad experiences with lawyers being late and no-showing, 2) his distinct lack of interest in the human aspect of our needs, and 3) I did NOT like the "good ol' boys club" vibe I got from him at all (if that even makes sense to others - haha).

Darrell Harding took on our very complex case that had been ongoing for years. He is absolutely…read moreamazing and knows the law very well. He is also very knowledgeable in military laws and regulations. You cannot put a price on the joy that he brought to my wife's and I lives with the work that he did for us. He is absolutely with every dollar that was invested. If you're military and have any questions or concerns about adoption, custody and/or divorce I highly recommend speaking with Darrell Harding.

I have used Erik on several occasions from house closings to traffic infractions and have always…read morefound him to be a very fair, honest and an extremely knowledgeable person. Erik seems very humble, has a good sense of humor and asks you the right questions to put you down the correct road you need to be going down. He takes the time to talk to you thus putting you at ease and makes sure you understand alternatives and of course the situation...what could happen good or bad. From what I have observed he has a good relationship with officers and judges which can't hurt your case, either! He's a nice guy, very helpful and can help you navigate the legal system which is hard enough for the average person. I can recommend his services and his rates seem reasonable compared to other attorney's I used, prior.

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

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

And as horrifying as the divorce process can be, I couldn't be happier and more pleased to have…read moreworked with LaCretia and Cherish from Hadley Law. 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.
