Stephen is the most genuine, honest and passionate criminal defense attorney that the legal world…read morehas to offer. He is supportive and dedicated through and through with his clients. He does not placate clients with fabrications; he remains positively realistic throughout the process. He is personable. Stephen has taken the time to get to know me and thus, he communicates in a particular manner that is most effective specifically to me and my thought process. He is very reliable and trustworthy, but is also a very busy guy. He tries to be available all the time for his clients; however, if a situation occurs and he is seemingly unavailable, rest assured that he is actively working on your case and is always fully prepared for court. From his joyous demeanor, to his sense of humor, charm and wit, to the way he presents himself, Stephen holds a very high personal standard and in turn, his clients get what they pay for.

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. I spent thousands of dollars for this guy to act like a public defender. Save your money and choose someone else! This guy was a joke for me.

Positive reviews include getting males off on abuse charges! This guy has no business being a GAL or representing children in any capacity!

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.

We dealt with this law firm for the closing of our home. While we did not meet with any of the…read moreattorneys listed, the guy that handled our closing process was easy to work with and was a pleasure to be around. I would give this place 5 stars, but in the times we are living in, I did not expected to meet in an office space with four others. Even though we were wearing masks, I felt a bit uncomfy. Nevertheless, the offices upstairs are a bit dated and could use some better ventilation. Parking was not an issue and the process was smooth. If you have a need for attorneys or consultations, I'd suggest you check out this place.

I have never in my 60 years (of life) had someone huff and puff because I asked them a question about my case with their office.

We had swapped from another attorney, also known in the area, to try a chance with Mr. Pugh after using the services of his partner, Mr. Karpov (who's equally impressive), and it was the best decision we could have made. Our previous lawyer was very hesitant and submissive in their advice to us each time an issue occurred which was frustrating. In contrary, Mr. Pugh was straight to the point and confident while seamlessly rolling with the punches in action. He advised us realistically and in a style that matched my husband's needs and made us feel secure walking into the court. Mr. Pugh won our case, allowing our family to move on from stressful times in a fair but satisfactory manner.

Crazy for a 'collections' firm…read more There's no number to call in and make a payment. There's no way to pay your bill online. The ONLY method of contact they offer is an email address--and I'm not sending them my credit card information in an unsecured email address. Total bull, as they're going to court to garnish me on Tuesday, and I literally can't pay them the money I owe because they've made it impossible to do so. Not everyone works M-F 9-5 and can call during 'office hours.' If they want to be paid as a collections firm, the LEAST they could do is have an automatic phone payment system, or a website that accepts payments, or literally any way to pay aside from... sending someone an email?

He wasted no time getting things done the right way. I am truly relieved and grateful that I chose him to represent me in court.

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!
