The attorney, Kevin, called on time and was very kind. He listened to what I had to say, asked questions about the contract and explained to me my options, which pretty much weren't any. I was never asked for money nor did I feel like that's all they cared about. I genuinely felt like they cared and were interested in my best interests. I would highly recommend them.

We cannot praise Sumner Immigration Law highly enough! Emily and her team shepherded us through the…read moreprocess of obtaining a family-based green card (I-130/I-485 adjustment of status). Highly knowledgeable, very kind and friendly, and super responsive, these folks are experts at what they do. From paperwork to interview prep to answering anxious emails and phone calls, we felt at ease during the entire process. For something as delicate and important as an immigration-related matter, you want a partner by your side who understands the intricacies of the process and can navigate them skillfully. Emily Sumner is that person. We were referred to her by two friends, and in turn we have recommended her to friends, and we plan to retain her again in the future.

He was confrontational, telling me my opinion was biased, only wanted to know one piece of information. I understand law firms need certain information to consider acceptance but, don't be an ass within the first 30 seconds of a call. They want a case in a nice package with a big bow on top so, they have little work to do for a fee. I get they only accept cases they can win but, the crap attitude gets you nowhere.

I decided to go with this firm because they not only took their time explaining, (as I know nothing about this), they were not after the green. Seriously guys, this is a trustworthy family establishment, who cares more about getting what you need, than their bottom line. Lawyers who actually care about you... I didn't think that existed anymore. We are getting the whole family outfitted here now. If you want honest, helpful and just what you need (not what you don't) try them!! You won't be sorry.

DO NOT USE THEM. RUN! It would appear the lawyer they retained for family law (Mrs. Barclay) should…read morenot be in practice or be retired. You can see the burnout or lack of caring (she self admitted that she no longer cared about complaints while at the same time, receiving many of them). In essence, the only thing they may have excelled at are uncontested matters, maybe a criminal one. Apparently, they only have one lawyer to work on family cases. When I determined that I was the recipient of ineffective counsel or ethical wrong by Mrs. Barclay, I tried working with the attorney directly in the course of the proceedings, and then ultimately addressed these concerns of ineffective counsel to the law firm owner. I expected that there would be a concern given, but there was not. I was advised by the law firm owner (Mrs. Ranney) that she could not help, considering her and her husband's background in family law was limited. Given that I tried to rehabilitate our relationship with clear expectations, I was further denied service by Mrs. Ranney due to my complaints or concerns that were credible enough to be reported to the Virginia Bar. I sought return of my retainer at the least (realizing they must be paid for some effort even if it were unscrupulous) However, this was never answered. Counsel in this matter was critical, due to a wife who absconded with my children over a decade ago and denied custodial or visitation. The issues I faced are not limited to: 1) Last minute discovery and poor communication. Whether about admissibility, facts or case direction and intentions. 2) No use of subpoena duces tecum to corroborate findings. 3) Allowing unsupervised interrogatories by GAL or court appointed staff. 4) Failure to make disclosures of evidence or submit interrogatories. No evidence was reported by judge! 5) Failure to proceed on the wishes of client during trial, threatening to leave the case and ultimately causing a show cause to be vacated. 6) Threatening abandonment numerous times over minor disagreements. 7) Fails to immediately recognize and object to inadmissible evidence. 8) Allows opposition to run all over the case. Rolling over at any concern raised by GAL or opposing party. Hesitant to make any push for justice, or seek recompense. During retainment, it was pitched about the enjoyment of such cases, determination to follow through, and aggressive stance. This could be further from the truth. We were treated as another manila folder in the stack. The only thing we expected were emails detailing what "couldn't be accomplished", and lowering the bar on the "aggressive" representation promised from the outset. When contacting other law firms to represent in the appeal, it was clear they were "known" as having difficulties in family related cases, particularly Mrs. Barclay's counsel. You cannot win a case when all you do is waste time putting out the fires... VSB case been opened based on this representation.
