Well I'm in the Automotive business of customer service, and have been for over 17 years. I was…read moreinvolved in a three car accident that broke 4 ribs, caused a concussion, and punctured my lung. When I departed Virginia Beach General Hospital, the Doctor referred me to VA Spine Care, and to a Lawyer in Downtown Norfolk. By this time, my family in showing their care recommended Attorney Sherman C. Smith. After talking with the Norfolk Lawyer, and setting an appointment, I called Attorney Sherman C. Smith. My family had forwarded the accident pictures to him. After talking with Attorney Sherman C. Smith I realized through his demeanor that he was very attentive, and showed through his words that he really wanted to help me. I called the Norfolk lawyer back and cancelled my appointment. I agreed to allow Attorney Sherman C. Smith to represent me. After telling him that I was injured with 4 broken ribs, and without transportation, he arranged to come from Hampton, to my home in Norfolk to visit me, and to get my deposition. That right there was convincing enough for me to let me know that this person has great customer service skills, and made me feel valued throughout my injury. I felt like he cared to assist me, and that I was not just another client number. This is how Attorney Sherman C. Smith made me feel. After having our case postponed in January 2016 by the first Judge, Attorney Sherman C. Smith made several keen observations about the State Trooper. He noticed a pattern that showed a lack of integrity. This was vital in us returning back to court February 2016. He used that wisdom to navigate his way through to a successful decision. It was though he was floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee. Even the Judge commended him for "great lawyering". Attorney Sherman C. Smith was able to get the Judge to move to strike my case, and to dismiss the charge, which now has opened the door for my full compensation from having been T-boned by the third driver. Masterful! Upon the decision by the Judge, the entire Court marveled at the skill by which Attorney Sherman C. Smith operated his lawyering in the Court. I was very impressed, and glad that Attorney Sherman C. Smith was recommended by my family. With the skill he has shown, I have complete confidence that my financial compensation from his aggressive pursuit of the Insurance companies will garner my complete compensation from this tragic accident. Stay tuned, for the rest of this story. Attorney Sherman C. Smith has proven to be worthy of his recommendation. Sincerely Carl Dyson

I retained Raphael Connor at the Law Offices of John W. Lee PC for help with my divorce process…read more 1. Mr. Connor went to a pendente lite hearing to represent me after I asked him to reschedule, telling him I was afflicted with a very severe bout of kidney stones and was under the influence of narcotics, resulting in a pendente lite order and, thus, didn't request the conditions I'd like to have been attached to the order, that allowed my wife to take actions which harmed my interests in my business. 2. Mr. Connor didn't inform me of the pendente lite hearing before it happened and I had to hear about it with only a few days notice from my wife. 3. Mr. Connor didn't inform me of a letter from my wife's attorney, which had a deadline that led to their request of a show cause hearing. Instead, he said that he never received the letter from my wife's attorney, even though the invoice he sent me indicates that the same day he should have received the letter, he did something concerning it. Thankfully, the show cause was averted when I was able to convince my wife's attorney that I didn't breach the pendente lite order. 4. Mr. Connor rarely replied to my emails and calls in a timely manner, if he replied at all. 5. Despite being told, on numerous occasions, to CC me in all correspondence with my wife's attorney, Mr. Connor failed to do this. 6. Upon requesting advice, Mr. Connor often didn't give advice. 7. When my wife breached the pendente lite order numerous times, ordering her not to engage in harassing behavior, I asked Mr. Connor to file show cause hearings, which he did not do. On more than one occasion I directed Mr. Connor to file a show cause for my wife's breaches, and he ignored me, despite being very clearly directed to do this. After a terrible judicial settlement conference, he told me he didn't file the show cause hearings because he thought he could resolve everything at the judicial settlement conference. Mr. Connor's refusal to file show causes for these breaches made it more costly for me in the end as there was nothing to deter my wife from committing other breaches that caused significant harm. 8. During our Judicial Settlement Conference, Mr. Connor told me that the judge would give my wife our business if I didn't come to an agreement with her that was disadvantageous to me. A business that he knew my name was on most of the documents for. He seemed most interested in closing the case rather than getting the best result for me, his client. 9. During our Judicial Settlement Conference, Mr. Connor just accepted my wife's claims as fact and, without my consent at all, offered her and her attorney something like "how about each party walk away with this, without paying each other anything, and (my wife) gets to keep the business?" His doing so put me in a significant position of weakness in negotiations. 10. Mr. Connor didn't request any interrogatories or discovery from my wife, whilst I was burdened immensely by a large amount of discovery, until after the Judicial Settlement Conference, leaving me in a position of disadvantage when it came time to negotiate at the judicial settlement conference. 11. Mr. Connor's actions cost me significantly more money in the end as I was forced to fire him. His firm offered me a refund and I implored his lawfirm, John W. Lee, to help salvage the case and fix the problems he caused but they didn't do so.

In 1996, Dan Carrell, having withdrawn from the partnership of the international law firm of Hunton & Williams, formed with a former colleague a small suburban firm at what is now the location of the Richmond office of Carrell Blanton Ferris. Over the years the firm grew modestly and changed both its name and form. Then, in July 2009, Dan reformed the Firm with Jim Garrett and Jim Van Horn under the name Carrell Rice Garrett & Van Horn, P.C. Eldridge Blanton joined them the following year, when the Firm became Carrell Blanton Garrett and Van Horn, PLC. In September 2011 the Firm combined with Ferris & Associates, PC, a highly respected esteemed Williamsburg law firm focused on estate planning and administration. The Ferris firm had been founded in 1993 by Dick Ferris. In August 2013, the name of the expanded Firm was changed to its present form - Carrell Blanton Ferris & Associates, PLC. The Firm has experienced steady growth since the 2011 acquisition. It opened its Fredericksburg office in 2011 and its Virginia Beach office in 2012. Despite its growth, throughout its history the Firm has prided itself on its professionalism - rendering excellent legal services to clients, for reasonable fees, while maintaining an inviting camaraderie across the entire Firm - among both the lawyers and those in support of their legal practice.
