Looking for a great lawyer my recommendation. Robert W…read more Ackerman, P.C. Attorney at law. 904 Princess Anne Street, Suite 406. Fredericksburg, V.A. 22401 Phone (540) 373-5469 Fax (540) 371-5940 His updated info is listed above. This is why I recommend him. I learned more about my situation in two weeks from him then I did in eighteen months from the person handling my fathers will. Now he did take a little more time then I wanted him to. This only because I have been dealing with a boso before I contacted Mr. Ackerman. However, the outcome is well worth the wait. He was very professional taking over my case. Nice not just because I was a client I mean he is a really nice person that cares about people that are getting screwed over. Mr. Ackerman stayed on top of everything and we only contacted each other when needed. Trust me you don't have to keep calling him. When something new or important comes up he will contact you. The meetings and calls were kept to under an hour. Now that doesn't seem like much but trust me he is all about the work and getting everything wrapped up as fast as he can. With that being said from before he goes the extra mile to make sure if you ever do end up in court the outcome will be in your favor. So if show up with all the papers you have and tell him everything. He will be right on top of it that day if not the next. I dealt with Mr. Ackerman for around two to three months and it was well worth that time indeed. I finally had things back on track to get closed up in the next three months. Something that should have been done about a year ago from the other party. So with a little bit of time, you won't be disappointed when you choose Mr. Ackerman to represent you. So many things were wrong with my situation and i just felt like all I got were the run around from the other party. Even after I told them I had been in talks with a lawyer three months later they didn't care. Then had the nerve to try and give him the runarounds and he was not having it one bit. He started pulling all the paperwork dealing with my situation and even he was in shock the way I was being treated. With a little time, he got things back on track by force but in a nice way. We have finished our end for now. He told me to give him a call in three months if everything is not wrapped up and trust me I will. He was aggressive and profession in a polite way. He gave the other party plenty of chances to do the right thing. We would have gone to court and with everything he gathered, we would have won guaranteed. But like I said he gives the other party fair enough warning and chances before if he has to take action that way. Ok now for the part on how I found Mr. Ackerman. I called nine different lawyers and four different firms. Mr. Ackerman's name was who they all thought of as the first person to call as he specialized in my situation. I also called four different accountant groups. Thus to make sure how bad I was getting screwed over before I decided to go forward. I am and was 100 percent very satisfied With Mr. Ackerman. I strongly recommend looking him up and giving him a call to see what he thinks if you need to be represented. His current info is listed above as of 04/23/2019 From a very happy client Gregg.

The question was about filling out the form correctly and not have to pay $395 for a consultation if I made a mistake on a form. Apparently, email questions answered by assistants cost them too much time and money. I mailed a copy of the ridiculous email I received to the lawyer, thinking surely this was a very bad employee, not reflecting the true response of the lawyer herself. But no answer. I had spoken with the lawyer previously when she was new, and she said to call her any time, I guess money changes everything. Now there is no true concern for women who need a lawyer, unless you have endless finances. Heartless. There is no trust here. Run as fast as you can! I should post the email, it is unbelievably rude. Very unprofessional, and I was cut off unless I could pay $395 to answer one question to fill out the form correctly.

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.

Mr. Mayoras is a rock solid attorney. If you want representation in a Northern Virginia criminal…read morecase, trust me, you will have no regrets if you select Mr. Mayoras as your Defense Attorney. In August 2015, my daughter was a victim of assault and pressed charges against her aggressor. The aggressor counter-charged my daughter. Mr. Mayoras was selected as her public defender. Prior to the hearing, Mr. Mayoras engaged with the prosecutor and maintained contact with us. On the day of the trial I observed other cases prior to ours being heard, I saw weak defense attorneys lose repeatedly to the tough prosecutor. As my daughter was called forward I started to worry. Mr. Mayoras was a rock solid attorney as he cross-examined the defendant who counter-charged my daughter capitalizing on every weakness and inconsistency. He not only had my daughter's counter-charge dismissed but his piercing argument ensured that the aggressor received a conviction. I was absolutely impressed. A year later my son broke up with his girlfriend. In her anger, in March 2016, she chose to file charges of strangulation, assault, and battery saying that my son tried to kill her. A felony warrant was issued for the strangulation and a misdemeanor warrant was issued for the assault and battery. At that moment our lives changed forever. If convicted, my son, a United States Marine, was facing a five-year prison sentence and discharge from the military with no hope of ever finding decent employment in the United States. Life as he knew it would be over for the rest of his life. I called Mr. Mayoras to take the case even though I knew he only practiced in Northern Virginia. Although he warned me that he had no insight into the Norfolk courts, based on my previous observations, I believed that if anyone could save my son, it would be Mr. Mayoras. Upon taking the case, he did extensive research and kept us informed of his strategy to win. With months of preparation we went to trial in October 2016. Like my previous encounter in court a year earlier I observed multiple weak defense attorneys lose to the tough prosecutors leading to multiple convictions. At the end of the day, the last case to be heard, my son was called to trial. I started to get concerned as the prosecutor started to build a case against my son. However, as every prosecuting witness was brought forward, Mr. Mayoras processed every word that was stated exploiting every weakness and inconsistency in their testimony through cross-examination. He even challenged the relevance of certain witnesses who as a result did not even get to testify. Then it was the time for the defense to take action. Short, straight, and to the point he built a bullet-proof defense with only two witnesses and the defendant. Sharp, smart, and one step ahead of the game, he even recalled one of the prosecuting witnesses and manipulated the individual to testify in favor of my son. The strength in the prosecutor's case had dwindled by the end of the trial through the skill and mental agility of Mr. Mayoras. The judge dismissed both charges and my son was a free man with a life ahead of him. Think about it, Mr. Mayoras won this case despite having never entered the Norfolk courthouse previous to this. I challenge you not just to take my word for it. You have one chance to win or lose a case. Call him and find out when he is next in court. It will cost you nothing to see him first hand in action as he handles his case. I promise that you will be absolutely impressed. You don't have to choose him, but please make your selection only after seeing him handle a case in court. I am in the military and am due to rotate to Florida next year. My only regret is that Mr. Mayoras is not bar certified in Florida! Good luck to you. Choose your defense attorney wisely.
