Because of his reputation, Mr. Len Heath was recommended to me after an accident a couple of years…read moreago; he was a consummate professional. Almost immediately, his empathetic and compassionate nature put me at ease so open and honest communication was easy for me.

I would recommend him highly to anyone.

The company is very welcoming and friendly. no one wants to have their case Lengeling but don't settle again do some research yourself. don't be in a rush just settle. my suggestion to this law firm listen closely to your client. and have some compassion for what he or she has gone through. Do all you can to bring them justice. it's not always about the money but justice compensating those have been hurt. especially when it's not their fault. do all you can for your client and think about lowering your percentage to the standard or even lower it , you would get more clients... Just a suggestion.

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

The first time she didn't listen to me or my children and it seemed like she was my ex husband's attorney. The second time around, she was so unprofessional. She set an appointment to meet with my children and I at our home. We waited for her, she never showed up, I called and left messages , she never responded. An entire month passed and she's in court. Giving her opinion but didn't do her job At ALL. She made things up because she hasn't met with my children in 2 years. I know because they told me. She was very disrespectful in court and had all the questions in the world for me , but when it came to my ex husband she all of a sudden had a lost for words. This woman let him pass judgement on me with literally 0 evidence and even advised him to call CPS, but hello he didn't go to CPS because he knew he was lying. She's a crap attorney and a crap human being. The thought of her having families lives in her hands makes me want to vomit. Worst type of individual. I hope she wasn't the Bigsby's GAL

I'm not sure how to start this review. There is nothing I can write that would convey how impressed…read moreI am with Ms. Sherwood. While living in Richmond, I had a well known lawyer as representation for my divorce. It cost $$$$ and I never really understood what was happening. Recently my ex took me back to court. Since I now live in Yorktown, I started looking around for an attorney in the area that would represent me in Richmond. I wanted somebody that wouldn't fall for my ex's charm and manipulation, somebody tough but not aggressive in the courtroom, preferred someone that was a parent ( since children were involved), and a lawyer that would always tell me my options, good & bad! I received Ms. Sherwood's name from an acquaintance and called her. She responded quickly and advised me on several points before I even agreed to hire her. That's right! Free legal advice - yes, it was on small items but still impressive! Do NOT be nervous when you pull up at her office that first time. I was accustomed to the $$$$ Richmond lawyer's luxury office so her office wasn't what I expected. It is modest & neat but not fancy. Do NOT let the decor make you hesitate! I walked in....had a little trouble figuring out where in the building she was located and was greeted by her assistant. Ms. Sherwood saw me at our scheduled time & I will NEVER go to another lawyer again. There were several obstacles & slick maneuvers by my ex but Ms. Sherwood kept me strong. My case was very subjective & I felt like Ms. Sherwood was able to take my information and really plead my case in a professional & persuasive manner. I felt truly heard - for the first time! Whether we won or lost, Ms. Sherwood has earned my endless appreciation & loyalty. She is a remarkable person & a very savvy & intelligent attorney. Put your mind at ease & call her! It took me 5 years to find THE BEST attorney and I'm leaving this review so you won't have to suffer like I did. AND her fees are VERY reasonable! Yes, we won!

She represented my interest in a very professional manner and always took the high road even when my ex-wife's attorney (Ken Murov) stooped to name calling and unfounded mud slinging of untruths. In the end, we got everything we wanted after an uphill battle...no alimony (forced my ex back to work), kept the children in state (I'm military and the ex was trying to move 3 states away!) and got I have 50% custody of the kids! If you're a dad going through a divorce, you need Sara! Virginia law is stacked against dads from the start of the divorce, you need Sara as an equalizer and she will protect your rights as a father!
