I am very dissatisfied with this lawyer who handled my divorce and child custody. I felt he was…read moreunresponsive to my concerns, often leaving me uninformed about crucial developments. I do not feel this attorney seemed committed to fighting for my interests, especially not challenging erroneous/misleading statements by my ex-wife, for which I had hard evidence to refute. I believe he failed to present crucial evidence in court, and failed to cross examine the Guardian ad Litem, who had information that was critical and would have affected the outcome. Ultimately, I did not secure a fair custody arrangement for my children. Throughout the entire divorce process drawn out over 2 years, I felt frustrated and disregarded despite paying truly exorbitant legal fees.

UPDATE: I got what I…read morewanted and what I KNEW was in the best interest of my children. I thought it was settled, nope. My Ex filed again for the exact same thing, EXACT same thing. I sent it over to Mike (this time, more irritated than worried). I KNOW I'm in good hands, I stressed alot less after having him. We finally appeared for the judge to decide if we need to go to trial again, Mike shut it down immediately. He was slick and smooth and knew exactly what to use. It was literally magic.No shit. I had to literally jump for joy once the court room's doors closed. Mike was happy that I was happy and I saw it right then and there, he gave a shit. Not only cause WE won but because he made his client happy. I've heard horror stories about Lawyers costing people an arm & a leg and still not being happy with results. That wasn't the case- Mike was very reasonable and honest. I appreciate that. He was very upfront about the costs of things and didn't bs around it. I'm VERY happy with what I received and it was worth every penny. He truly does provide quality service. All BS aside, Mike knows what he's doing. Stop stressing, make your life easier and just hire him. You WON'T regret it. I promise! Now understand this is in the courts hands and all depends on the mood the judge wakes up in but Mike is your best fucking chance. He will ALWAYS be my go to. ALWAYS. Thanks again Mike, for everything! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you

Forget any negative reviews concerning Mr. Daugherty. He handled 18 months legal work for me in a…read morechild custody/divorce case. First, Donald genuinely cares about his clients and focuses on getting the best results. Secondly, Donald is experienced. He's in that courtroom everyday and has a great predictability in how the judges think. Donald is very wise. While polite to his judicial adversaries, Donald does not cringe in tough situations. We're talking about a U.S. Army Lt. Colonel who survived the jungles of Vietnam. In a word, Donald wins. And his legal fees are reasonable. Donald doesn't not nickel and dime like many other lawyers. He'll give you a fee and all the courtroom appearances, phone calls, letters written, photo copies, etc. are under that umbrella. If you have a moment of pause on the legal fees, look at this way -what would be cost of judgements that don't go your way. Donald successfully thwarted opposing lawyer attempts for me to pay their client's legal fees. That alone save me tens of thousands of dollars. He won monetary judgements for me that I had not asked. What you're getting with Mr. Daugherty is client honesty, solid legal knowledge, and decades of daily courtroom experience. Donald cares about his clients and he wins. Donald is a rare, affordable super lawyer and you want this man representing you.

Unfortunately Ms. Simmons was recommended by another law office in a different locality. Family…read moremember paid for a consultation, but instead got 15 minutes of humiliation for her hard earned money. This family member had finally worked up the courage to leave a 10+ year abusive relationship, and is continually working toward getting her life and mental health back on track. Ms. Simmons blamed her for sticking around as long as she did and "allowing" the things that happened to take place. I pray Ms. Simmons never falls off of her high horse and finds herself in a similar situation. Women don't choose abuse, be it verbal or physical. Sometimes when you finally realize what's actually happening, there may be children, mortgages, a lack of funds, or numerous other things to consider. It's not as easy as Ms. Simmons seems to believe. If you're stuck in an abusive relationship or marriage, I pray you find the strength that you need to leave or seek help. If you're thinking about allowing Simmons & Hodge the opportunity to fight for you, please reconsider.. from our family's experience, they wont. It's not worth making an already tough time even tougher.

I have been working with Jennifer Simmons for about 2 years on my child custody case. Our case was…read morequite complex, but I can say that through the process I always felt like Jennifer had my and my childs best interest in mind. I came to her lost and confused. What we appreciate the most is her honesty and how straightforward she was - Jennifer Simmons not sugarcoat situations and give us a false hope. If we were mistaking - she would say it. She was committed, involved and professional. She gave us advices on how to handle difficult situations and did more than just assist us legally. She guided us to grow as people and to learn how to handle stressful situations better - which does not have have a price tag. Jennifer Simmons is not the cheapest attorney out there, but we truly believe she is the best.

Worst decision I ever made…read more If you want a divorce lawyer that doesn't know the law, that doesn't have time for your case, that doesn't understand the impacts of divorce on veteran's benefits (despite "specializing" in military divorce), that cannot make a coherent argument, that won't even answer your emails when the court loses your divorce decree for a month...Then you should hire Jamel Rowe at Livesay & Myers. She is, in short, completely incompetent and her response to being overwhelmed by her job is to ignore her client. She gave me terrible advice from the beginning, mishandled the actual trial, was hoodwinked by opposing counsel either for lack of attention or incompetence or both. I finally had to make demands of her superiors to get a basic response when the court lost my divorce and no one knew what the judge's final decision was. Hiring Jamel Rowe of Livesay & Myers was probably the the most catastrophically bad decision I have ever made; one I will be paying for quite literally for the rest of my life.

Being at my wits end, I found Mr. Dance through Superlawyers.com. Mr. Dance is rated a "Rising Star" by his peers and that meant something to me. Within a week (my pendente lite case was already scheduled) Mr. Dance successfully negotiated child support for me way over the guidelines. Within two weeks of retaining Mr. Dance, an additional mediation was scheduled. I was skeptical and hesitant to attempt an additional mediation, but trusted Mr. Dance's advice and I'm so glad I did. With Mr. Dance at the helm, this round went much different than the last. Mr. Dance has a straight forward approach of dealing with his clients that is so refreshing. He doesn't mince words but does it in a way that lets you know you are being heard and taken care of. He is a great communicator letting you know what is happening with your case all along the way. When I retained Mr. Dance, I was looking for a finisher. A strong confident attorney that could push back and stay strong against my spouse's northern Virginia attorney. Mr. Dance played that role masterfully and I was so thankful to have him on my side. If you are facing a divorce, do yourself a favor and retain Mr. Dance. He is by far the best value for your money in the Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania area. Coming to him first would have saved me a tremendous amount of money.
