He set up an appointment with her and I am so happy he did. He was also happy when she agreed to represent him in court. We were impressed by her knowledge and professionalism and how she kept us informed every step of the way. She is very personable and you can tell she cares as well. I feel there is no other attorney that could have done a better job than she did. We cannot thank Ms. Reiner enough for getting our son another chance to "get it right!" She is the BEST!!!

Two years ago my family found itself in desperate need of legal services. This was the first time…read moreever for us. This legal matter was too important to just trust anyone and the stakes were truly high. Not knowing what to do or where to turn, four different attorneys were highly recommended to us. The names were in no particular order but the name Jacqueline M. Reiner, PLLC stood out to me immediately. After making a few phone, reading her extensive and impressive credentials and bio and most importantly prayer, we decided she was the one person that could help us and would fight for us. In the middle of COVID, she agreed to meet with us. It was the best decision we could have ever made! From day one, she was genuine, trustworthy, professional, personable and extremely concerned about what my family was up against and went to work for us immediately! Mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays and sometimes in the middle of the night. She kept us in the loop and provided us with sound advice and counsel the entire two-year court battle and fought for us! Due to her hard work and dedication to my family, we are now on the positive side of things and are moving forward as family which she is now part of. We love her and will be ever grateful to her in more ways than we can say! When your future is on the line, you want the Honorable Jacqueline M. Reiner in your corner!

Absolutely the worst Lawyer or GAL you could hire or have dealing with any custody or family law…read morecase. If you need a lawyer in Richmond, Va you should go elsewhere. If Mrs. Newman is appointed by the court ask for a different lawyer. You will receive a questionnaire in the mail with a letter attached asking you to fill it in and contact her office. Do this at your own risk, she really doesn't want you to do this. If you do meet you will immediately get the sense that you're taking up her valuable time. I guess it's because it is set by the court how much that her firm can bill you for her services. Mrs.Newman's questions were aggressive, and she had a "Why are you here ?" expression written all over her face. When I informed her that it was the letter from her asking me to call her office to arrange an appointment to see her she showed me the door.i was glad to leave and almost felt like getting sick. This woman has no place in Family Law.

Divorce is never easy, but she helped me get through a very difficult season with clear guidance, steady communication, and real knowledge of the process. What stood out to me most was her personality. She is delightful, charmingly funny, and has a way of making a stressful situation feel lighter while still remaining completely professional. She loves to smile and laugh, and her conversations feel like turning lemons into lemonade. She was also honest about the price and upfront costs. There were no hidden fees, no surprises, and everything was explained clearly. I appreciated that she was direct, respectful, and made sure I understood what was happening at each step. I am truly thankful for Attorney Eure's help and would recommend Dorothy M. Eure to anyone who needs a knowledgeable, dependable, and compassionate divorce attorney.

We knew this was going to be a tough case and our chances of winning was not good at all. Parents have more rights than aunts, grandparents etc.. Just because you are a grandmother or aunt is not good enough in the eye's of the court. You have to prove a lot in court and it is not easy at all. We started at ground zero and we were devastated. We searched for a law firm that could represent this special type of case that we were up against. We researched and contacted Barnes & Diehl in Chesterfield VA. We were represented by Mr. John Karanian who put together a magnificent case. He worked diligently and as a result...We won!!! Mr. Karanian is outstanding as an individual. Mr. Karanian is very professional, works very hard for his clients, keeps clients updated, and he never disappointed us. We now have visitation and it would not have been possible without Mr. Karanian. If you feel like you are up against the odds, we can assure you that there is hope at Barnes & Diehl with John Karanian.

We each had less than an hour that was good for them because Charles was ready to mop the floor with him. Charles did his homework before the case he actually caught another lie while in court and went back up to question him about it. I am so so happy with the results. Put his name in Chatgpt lol. If you are looking for an attorney who is intelligent, organized, strategic, and truly prepared to fight for you in court, I would absolutely recommend Charles Shumaker.

I made the mistake of trusting Paul to represent me during a legal case that occurred at the height of the pandemic. He showed up **minutes** before my trial started, completely unprepared, and had the audacity to ask *me* to remind him about the details of my case. I'm sorry, aren't *you* supposed to be the one who knows my case inside and out? It was painfully obvious he hadn't done his homework, and I was left feeling like I was defending myself. After the trial, instead of a debrief or any real guidance about the outcome and how it would affect me moving forward, Paul just vanished into thin air. He didn't explain the implications of the court's decision, didn't offer any help for future issues, and left me completely in the dark. Years later, when complications arose from the case (which I could have been prepared for if he had actually done his job), I tried to contact him repeatedly--via email, phone calls, and voicemails. You'd think a lawyer with *any* sense of duty would respond, but no. Paul Galanides straight-up ghosted me, leaving me to deal with the fallout on my own. Save yourself the stress, the frustration, and the disappointment--**do not hire Paul Galanides**. He's not just a bad lawyer; he's a lawyer who actively makes your life harder by ignoring you when you need him most. Absolutely unprofessional and a total waste of time and money.
