This was one of the longest custody trials that our judge has ever seen. Throughout my experience, from the initial phone call to the final day of court, I felt well taken care of and I was confident the best interest of my child was always at the forefront of the case. Mr. Jeffries was straightforward throughout the entire process, steadfast, and provided me with the confidence I needed to make it through this trial. Michelle, his assistant, always greeted me in a warm and friendly manner and was a pleasure to work with as well. Mr. Jeffries is not your average attorney. He is constantly committing his time to researching the most up-to-date legal practices, laws, and relevant information available to provide you with a reliable and competitive advantage in the courtroom. He pays incredible attention to detail and was always prompt to respond when I needed to speak with him. I didn't think I would find an attorney who would care about my case as much as me, but I feel Mr. Jeffries was just as committed and passionate about my case. It is incredibly rare to find an attorney with the experience, knowledge, professionalism, commitment, passion, and care he offers. If you're looking for an attorney, Mr. Jeffries is a wise investment. I highly recommend him!

Mark Smith represented me and he was on top of everything from day one. He gave me sound advice, always returned my calls (he even gave me his cell phone number for weekends), and always kept a good handle on the mounds of paperwork and communication involved. While he was always professional, he was also compassionate given the emotional situation. I've heard so many horror stories from people who went through a divorce never getting called back from their lawyers, or worse, their lawyer not even telling them when to show up for court. Divorce is stressful, and it's rarely straight forward. Having a good lawyer you can depend on makes a huge difference in getting through it with your mind still intact. That's the best way to move on with your life and never look back!

When you have the loss of a friend and or a family member, you will have an awakening. You will find out quickly that you aren't truly prepared for that person's passing. You should think about having those not-so-fun conversations with your elders or spouse about their wishes if something were to happen to them. Think about everything that involves gathering one's personal property and assets. If you don't have a Will, General Power of attorney, Special Needs, Guardianship, Advance Medical Directive, Joint financial/monetary accounts, and or co-ownership of any assets. You may seriously want to think about having a Living Trust established. Don't be afraid to hire someone who specializes in family planning. The Dickerson & Smith Law Group located in Virginia Beach, VA. is a law firm you can depend on. The expense of having them draw up a Trust is minimal, compared to what it could cost by having to go through probate. The Dickerson & Smith Law Group is dedicated to assisting you with your estate planning. When my wife and I had our Trust drawn up, their associate team were all consummate professionals. Thank You, Dickerson & Smith Law Group, and I like to give Mr. D. Dickerson Jr. Esq. a special thank you for his counsel and for establishing our family's living trust. It gave us a piece of mind knowing we can sleep well at night, without worrying about how our assets are distributed in the event of our passing.

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

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.

We have worked with Meghan Heisterman-Wills at this law firm handling (what has turned into) a very…read morecomplicated adoption of two girls. The courts have made our process difficult and Meghan has been by our side to listen, advise, revise, update, request, and file EVERY step of the way. We started this process in early 2017. All of us expected it to be relatively seamless due to the overarching circumstances of the situation. As can be with any law case, however, there were many unexpected twists and turns. We were originally going to attempt to file this adoption in the Virginia Beach courts on our own (without a lawyer). It seemed relatively simple, every attorney that we had spoken with said that it was a maximum of a 90 day process, most of which was a waiting period. Since we had all of the corroborating paperwork we needed, it should have been easy. In retrospect, I am so glad we did not go at this alone... without Meghan, I would literally be bald from tearing my hair out. Not only has she been an amazing attorney, she has been a supportive source of sanity in an emotional and taxing process. It has been worth every battle and every penny that we have spent hiring this law firm to help us. None of the difficulties were the fault of our attorney... she has been timely, accurate, and informed every step of the way. Lord willing, we are nearly there... We have filed our final order of adoption and have met all of the requests that the court has made. Don't get me wrong; this could've been more difficult. We could've had to go to trial to fight for this, and we did not. Meghan was able to prevent that by submitting all the paperwork and helping us follow all of the request of the court. If I ever need a family attorney again, I will seek out Meghan Heisterman-Wills. If I need an attorney for another type of law, I will still seek her out for a referral on whom she would trust.
