Crap attorney! He did nothing for me. I called every week up to my court date. His secretary Raven…read morewould just say that they were waiting on the discovery. I finally got a call back from him (the only time he ever tried to contact me) the day before I was supposed to go to court with him telling me I should take the plea deal.

If you want to be alone at the last minute at the court. If…read moreyou want to be told go represent yourself and here is the form to calculate your your money and the ex money. If you want to be having very short period of time to find attorney to represent you for the right of your kids. So hire him. He went to the juvenile court with me twice. First time the judge said the paperwork was filed wrong. Second time he came late we were in December and when he came late the judge was done so he continued to first week of. This office had me in thier calender since then. The surprise is that his assistant called me before the court by five days telling me that he will not come to the court to represent me because he has to go to chesapeake. The court does not want to continue cause it is the third time. He is putting me in very bad situation after he had is the one who continued till may. So from December till May he could not tell me earlier that he does not want to go to the court. First, no responsibility to handle people matters. Second, he put the claint in bad position because who will be able to find another attorney in a few days. Third, being told to go represent myself in the court alone is not appropriate. If you want to go through this so this will be a right choice for you

Only reason I'm giving this place even 1 star is because Shawn Clines other attorney in his office,…read moretook over my case and got it dismissed. I would never recommend Cline to anyone. I don't even know where to start. We went to his office to talk to him about my case, he seemed like he knew what he was doing so we decided to hire him. I was told that I would need to take a paper to the court to continue my case because Cline was out of town. Fine. The court date was continued. There was a period of 2 months between that court date and the next one. I never heard from him. I called, emailed, left messages, nothing. The case was important to my husband and I. Seemed like it wasn't at all to him. Two days before the court date, he called me back and we briefly discussed my case. When we got to court it was a disaster. He had no clue what was going on and when the judge asked him questions he was lost. Embarrassing. The court date was continued again. When leaving he pretty much told me good luck I'll see you next court date. No help or anything. Mind you my husband and I have had to go through a lot of hoops which our particular situation. In between the court dates same thing...nothing. Until finally Clines law partner reaches out. He was the only one who actually communicated with us and helped us. Which is the only reason like I said this place gets a star at all. All and all Cline was not a good choice for us.

I've only ever needed an attorney twice-- once in 2016, which Shawn got dismissed and another…read moreyesterday (2019) which Shawn got dismissed! I really liked him from the first consultation 3 years ago and saw what he could do in a courtroom. I also liked that he's well-known in the area and may be considered one of the best. His staff is great, helpful, and prompt at returning my messages and relaying my messages to him when he's out of the office! He shows up to court on time each time, is very confident, and got excellent results for me (cases dismissed). I sure shouldn't need him often, but as long as I can afford his fees (which are worth his time, education, and experience) and he's practicing in the area, I will be a client of his.

Some 17 years ago I found myself in the first (and ultimately only) trouble of my life. I hired…read moreMr. Yates as my attorney to represent me on some serious charges in Virginia Beach. I'll be honest in saying that at the time I wasn't overly sure I had made the right decision. Mr. Yates is a straight shooter and may come off as less compassionate than you would hope for. With that said he has a great law mind and knew what direction to take my case. I am writing this review now because it took many years to realize how fortunate I was to have Mr. Yates handle my case. He gave me an opportunity to work my way out of the trouble I had gotten myself into. Yes, I had to plead guilty but in fairness I was guilty. The plea bargin that I accepted (from Mr. Yates work with the courts) offered me a chance to avoid jail time and ultimately have the charges dismissed. I rarely think about that chapter of my life anymore. It seems like another lifetime ago. I don't recall exactly what I paid for his services but I don't remember it being unreasonable and given the outcome it was well worth it. Thanks to Mr. Yates those charges are nowhere to be found on my record and I have been able to live my life without concern for the mistakes I made that year. Thank you Mr. Yates.

Went to Jarred McCormack on a case; he failed to construct a good argument with plenty of…read moresupporting material. He was judgmental and did not really listen. He spent my paid consultation hour telling story after story of Navy pilots and their cases. He is more about connections and judges. Less on facts and law. I should have switched lawyer but I stayed with him. 5 thousand dollars later, I got a very unfavorable ruling with a very weak argument from my lawyer. Afterwards he acted very disinterested to the loss but offered to appeal for 3-4k more. I saw no change in his approach or defense strategy. He was very keen on court shopping "which judge might be friendly" but not strong at building a defense. I truly believed that I have a strong case; so I did not want to waste my appeal on his representation. I went to another lawyer who used the material and won the case easily on the appeal. I invested about a year on the case; and saw how the two lawyers operated on the same case and the same facts. Not only the money, but the time and emotional investment was a lot to handle. For me, working with McCormack was totally not worth it. If I had used the second lawyer from the beginning, it would save time, money, and a lot of emotional burden.
