A difficult & abused feeling experience with this firm…read more I needed legal help to process the estate of my deceased mother. I ended up wasting six months and about $4K, paid in fees, with no outcome with Geller Law. I was first requested to have a mandatory paid initial consultation session to go over my legal help needed. I was introduced to Julie S. during this session. After describing my specific case & needs, she informed me that Geller Law can handle my case. What followed was months of emotional stress & redundant conversations with the staff of this firm that yielded no results. It became clear to me that they didn't know how to legally handle my case. Some staff members were argumentative & appeared trying to take advantage of this emotional situation for me. There were redundant conversations that I was later billed for. I concluded that this firm is not the choice that can handle my case professionally. I terminated my work with them. The new law firm I selected to handle my case turned out to be more knowledgeable for my case. And, more compassionate with me. The process was handled smoothly & professionally to completion.

Ashwell & Ashwell turned my divorce into a nightmare. My attorney never scheduled a meeting to…read moreprepare, ignored my emails asking when we could review my case, and walked into court unshaven, messy-haired, and wearing a wrinkled two-day-old suit. He knew so little that I had to feed him facts at the table in real time. I didn't win because of him -- I won in spite of him, because my case was strong enough to survive without representation. The billing was worse. I was double billed on multiple invoices, multiple times. When I asked for answers, I got silence. When I finally fired them after nine months of unfinished work, they "found" extra charges, doubled my invoices, and erased the refund I was owed. To this day, they still haven't returned my full client file, holding it hostage like a ransom note. Bottom line: If you want courtroom humiliation, do-it-yourself lawyering, and billing scams to top it off, Ashwell & Ashwell is the firm for you. If you value your money, your sanity, and your dignity -- hire literally anyone else.

I had a consultation with Lee Berlik to discuss a threat I received for a completely frivolous…read morelawsuit. I wanted to explain the situation, bring all documentation, and get an honest assessment as to whether or not I should be concerned about this meritless suit -- could this potentially become a serious headache and attempt to just get me to spend a lot of money for a case that would, no doubt, be dismissed? Lee listened to me; he asked the right questions; and confirmed my assumptions that the other attorney threatening a lawsuit had no legal bearing to do so. I felt so much better after our consultation, at least knowing that 1) What I assumed was validated; and 2) If I receive further threats against this attorney, I know who to call and who will be able to help me put a stop to the nonsense and abuse to our legal system. The consultation with Lee was worth every penny!

Very rarely does any judge sustain a demurrer. A demurrer says a complaint is not grounded in law…read moreand should be dismissed outright. In this case, unable to handle getting dumped by his ex, Plaintiff - Mr. Atchuthan Sriskandarajah (an attorney himself) - filed a defamation complaint against his ex & two other parties. The complaint was rather stupid and had very little substance. Mr. Lee Berlik represented the Defendants and absolutely crushed the Plaintiff. In fact, during discovery, when the Plaintiff realized that the case was backfiring on him, it was hilarious to see the Plaintiff cave in so quickly from his original request of $2.5 million down to 10,000 dollars. In the end, Plaintiff did not get even a penny & his case didn't make it past the demurrer. Plaintiff even tried going to the supreme court but the supreme court did not even want to listen to such a stupid complaint. I know enough about defamation law to tell a good attorney from a bad one. Lee is the best defamation attorney & knows the law inside out. I would highly recommend Lee!

This can be a good thing, yet how do you narrow down your search, to find the right one? There is the net, sources offline to find lawyers, and even word of mouth. Rarely do I give anyone or anything five stars here. Yet I'm proud of what Dan has done for me, in a rather unusual family case, and am glad to give him a complete recommendation. He covers all areas of the law, but is knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and is also extremely bright. Dan found information that other attorneys didn't, and he is the best guide for you with the Virginia court system. That alone is a jungle. Not sure if it's because of commonwealth laws or what, but Dan is able to wade through the minutiae quickly. This sharpness is guaranteed to help you, as you want top notch legal support for important matters in the ride of life. I would say hire him, but if you do visit lawyers to decide which one, please add him to your list. He is very responsible, as well as being responsive. I like his demeanor in and out of court. He's a family man, and this comes in handy too, as the way he handles information and witnesses is comprehensive. If you need a lawyer, this is the one you should have in your corner. He has impeccable communication skills, and also is incredible calming clients down. Court is a stressful place. I cannot lie, as having been through other challenges, this case has been up there with overall concerns. Dan has moved mountains, even in covid, to make sure that one person was going to be in the best situation possible. That alone is peace of mind, and things are better due to Dans efforts. Definitely in your search whether criminal or civil cases, this is one attorney you'll want to consider in your and this is meant, vital search for your or others best interests being represented. I've worked with other attorneys, and Dan got results, which is very impressive. Thank you to Dan, as he makes sure your interests are represented fully, and he's no empty suit when it's court time.

My soon to be ex-husband is using this firm to handle our divorce, and up until this point the…read moredivorce was going as smoothly as possible. I post this as a person deeply concerned about how this office serves divorce notices. The paperwork from my divorce separation agreement/address/phone number were taped to my door, not in an envelope, for my entire apartment building to see. I say this also on behalf of my soon to be ex-husband because sensitive information about him was in the document as well. When I went to alert the firm that this had happened and that they should put such notices in an envelope, the receptionist or paralegal was incredibly rude, and said "let me cut you off there and ask you to put your concerns in an email to....." This is vile, unprofessional, and unethical. If you want your information left on someone's door for neighbors to be able to see, go with this firm. I would rather hire someone with some discretion and decorum that would be expected of an attorney's office.

Within 5 minutes of our initial meeting, I knew that she would be the best attorney to represent me moving forward and I immediately changed my representation. Lindsay was my absolute saving grace during a very difficult and extremely complex divorce and continues to provide stellar legal guidance. She is incredible. She is always responsive and attentive and always makes me feel like I am her only client when I know that she is extremely busy managing multiple clients and her own busy personal life. She is a strong, intelligent, and confident woman. She is professional, compassionate, and hardworking. My kids and I would not be where we are today without her guidance and expertise. I am truly grateful for her. I highly recommend Lindsay Hendrix as a loyal, honorable, and amazing attorney. I will forever be grateful to her for all she has done, and continues to do, for my kids and I. She is the best.
