I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks for all the support, hard work, and…read moreunwavering dedication throughout the course of my divorce that the Law Office of Lorena R Smalls took in my case. From the very beginning, it was never going to be a simple or smooth process, and I truly don't know how I would have made it through without Lorena's guidance and persistence. The opposing side made things unnecessarily difficult at nearly every turn--whether it was the constant delays, the lack of cooperation, the unreasonable demands, or the emotional tactics they employed. Despite all of that, Lorena Smalls remained focused, professional, and strategic, never once letting their behavior dictate how we moved forward. She consistently put my best interests first and handled each twist and turn with the kind of composure and knowledge that gave me confidence when I needed it most. There were moments when the stress of it all felt overwhelming, but she was always there to explain the process clearly, provide perspective, and help me keep my head up. She didn't just represent me legally--she gave me strength and reassurance during a very painful and personal time in my life. Thank you for being accessible when I needed answers, for being a steady hand when emotions were high, and for fighting for what was fair when things felt unjust. Lorena Smalls was everything I could have hoped for in an attorney, and more. I'm so grateful for how she navigated everything with integrity, patience, and skill. Please know that your work made a real difference, and I'll always be thankful for the care and attention you gave my case.

Brenda Waugh (Waugh Law & Mediation) mediated our divorce in 2019, which was contentious and…read moredifficult on many levels, to include dealing with the legal custody of my then 13-year-old son. Relations between my wife (at the time) and me were poor at best. Brenda offered a comforting, professional demeanor and environment that ensured both of us maintained our composure and allowed us to get through the challenging emotional issues associated with dividing physical and financial assets and, more important, determining how to raise my son in a post-divorce world. I was pleased and impressed with everything Brenda did to prepare the required documents to present to the judge for review, consideration, and final decision. I have great respect for Brenda and recommend her without reservation for legal mediation services.

They were very formal, and not people with whom I felt comfortable. I spoke to Ari Summers, who…read morewas extremely long winded and seemed to want everyone to know he was the smartest person in the room. I later went back and re-read his on-line bio. I was not surprised to see him preening over a trip to South Africa as a novice attorney "helping" refugees obtain citizenship. It's difficult to believe someone straight out of law school would do much more than fetch coffee for the real lawyers who actually knew South African law. It's also difficult to take his "white savior" complex seriously when he charges $500 an hour. We passed and chose other representation.

My family had the privilege of working with Ari Sommer of Harrison & Johnston for elder care…read morematters. When you work with Ari Sommer, you will find that he is who you would consider above and beyond any expectations of a lawyer. We hired Ari Sommer to help my parents when my dad had dementia and he needed long term nursing care; my mom did not need that type of care. Essentially, they had to split while still being married. This happens so many times with the elderly. From the moment we met Ari Sommer he became a guardian angel to my parents and my sisters and me. You expect someone to do what is typical in creating a will etc., but Ari Sommer did so much more. He presented meticulous information to allow supporting agencies such as Medicaid to make quick and concise decisions to secure my parents living conditions as well as financially. I know I may sound repetitive, but I watched Ari as not only did he dot his "i's" and cross his "t's" but he created a road map with precise information and directions to allow agencies to quickly make decisions in my parents favor without having these agencies to ask for further information which would have delaying the outcome for my parents. Time is essential in these matters. He is highly intelligent, compassionate, and caring, and he also went way, way past that. He looked at their situation along with other laws in place and felt that somethings needed to change. After his detailed analysis, he sought after remedies that would protect my parents and their assets. He actually developed a new way to apply a law that can benefit people in Virginia and in doing so, allowed my mother and father to financially be secure and safe. Again, I am repeating myself, but I have never seen someone like him and the way his mind worked. He theorized and meticulously presented information to judges and developed a new application of the law to help not only my parents but others who may be in similar situations in the future. So, do I recommend Ari Sommer you better believe it. I only wish there were more people out there like him and yes, I wish I was more like Ari Sommer and I am a business owner of 20 years. To say he is my hero is not stated without fact, he defines heroism. He took care of my parents when my sisters and I did not know how to. He took that weight off my sisters and I and my parents as we trusted him to protect and serve my parents For that Ari Sommer you are my hero and I cannot thank you so much for the way you compassionately took care of my parents and treated them with the fight and determination with love, gentleness, and reassurance you gave to my parents during this time.

I have a long history working with attorneys having been in law enforcement for years and the representation I received from Mr. Guntharp was impressive! The case involved a workman's compensation claim that I was told by the employer was impossible for me to win. Well that was soon disputed and dismissed by Mr. Guntharp. The amount of work he put into this case was incredible and the last brief he filed with the court was some of the best legal work I've ever read. Well my employer who said that there was no way I was going to win decided that they may have spoken too soon and settled. I can't thank The Ritchie Law Firm enough and Mr. Guntharp for his talent in litigating this case for me. There was no case law evolving my type of claim. THERE IS NOW! If you're involved with any type of injury or workplace related disease or injury I would recommend that you take the time to have a consultation with Mr. Guntharp of the Ritchie Law Firm before making any decisions on your own. Quite frankly I was not optimistic at the beginning of this case and was given the hard facts that it would be an uphill struggle prevailing but after reading the last brief Mr. Guntharp filed on my behalf I was relieved of any pessimism I had. Now if someone has a like claim in the future there is case law for them to lean on. I recommend the Ritchie Law Firm and will be happy to answer any questions anyone might have about how they took care of me without revealing names or anything connected to the settlement agreement. Thank you Mr. Guntharp!!!!
