Hello, Please read as this may save you and your family. No Stars!…read more I hired Mrs. Nelson for my uncontested divorce case in September 2023. Mrs. Nelson made mistakes including putting the incorrect plaintiff's name on the uncontested form, and sent it to my ex-husband and his lawyer. When my ex husband's lawyer sent the report back stating that they wanted to Contest the divorce in Dec 2023, Mrs. Nelson did not update me accordingly. I had to call the court house directly for the status. She advised that she did not have time to review what the Plaintiff's response was and she was going on vacation until after the New Year. After being displeased with her work ethic/ performance, and nonchalant attitude I hired a new attorney for the Contested part of my divorce. I was no longer within a legal contract with Mrs. Nelson. We only had a contract for the Uncontested portion which was paid up front with a receipt, and I was provided a copy of the contractual agreement. When I hired another attorney for the Contested divorce Mrs. Nelson advised that I owed her money for work that I did not authorize her to do in regards to the Contested divorce. I did not sign a contract with her, nor did I put any money in the retainer for the contested divorce. When I did some research on my end and found out that she billed me incorrectly, I emailed Mrs. Nelson and advised her of the discrepancy in billing. I also advised her that I stopped payment on the check, and advised if she thought I did this in error to please let me know and send me a copy of the signed contract. I did not defraud Mrs. Nelson, and had no ill intentions. I gave her a courtesy update because I do not cheat people. I gave her an opportunity to provide evidence, and she did not. Fast forward to July 2024- I had to go to court because Mrs. Nelson filed CRIMINAL Charges against me saying that I wrote a bad check. I had money in my account and did not owe Mrs. Nelson. I am a law abiding citizen and have a cleared record. I had to get a criminal defense lawyer to support my case. Presently not only am I dealing with a divorce, I am also dealing with false accusations towards me that could have landed me up to 1 year in jail. I have two kids that are dependent on me, a replicable reputation, and I am a cleared professional. I am so disappointed in how she handled things. Clearly she could see how much the divorce hurt me, and now these incorrect allegations and charges. ***God heard my prayers and the District Attorney (DA) through the case out due to lack of evidence on her part, and not having a contractual agreement *** Here's the kicker... Mrs. Nelson was even arguing with the DA that was supporting her case, in court, after the trial because she was upset with the verdict. Please do your research!

I filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy this year in Feb or March and it was over in June. Atty Nelson made sure all paperwork was correct and in order and she checked assets as well as other things the courts would look for to make sure all would go well. I was approved for my bankruptcy and released of all my debt that I listed. I can finally say I feel free of worries and stress. on how I would pay this bill and that bill. All credit cards now gone, a private student loans ( gone), medical bills (gone), credit union loans (gone). Thank you Atty Nelson for being the attorney you are. I will recommend you to whomever needs a well qualified attorney. You are the greatest!!!!!!

I found Theseus Schulze to be an arrogant, know it all type, who unfortunately didn't know much. He lined up a trust for my father (because that is what we thought he needed) when in fact he needed a will and not a trust. He talks down to you, failed to sit down, talked over my head and caused me to walk out. Tread with caution. It has been a long time since I have dealt with a bunch of folks this unpolished.

A difficult & abused feeling experience with this firm…read more I needed legal help to process the estate of my deceased mother. I ended up wasting six months and about $4K, paid in fees, with no outcome with Geller Law. I was first requested to have a mandatory paid initial consultation session to go over my legal help needed. I was introduced to Julie S. during this session. After describing my specific case & needs, she informed me that Geller Law can handle my case. What followed was months of emotional stress & redundant conversations with the staff of this firm that yielded no results. It became clear to me that they didn't know how to legally handle my case. Some staff members were argumentative & appeared trying to take advantage of this emotional situation for me. There were redundant conversations that I was later billed for. I concluded that this firm is not the choice that can handle my case professionally. I terminated my work with them. The new law firm I selected to handle my case turned out to be more knowledgeable for my case. And, more compassionate with me. The process was handled smoothly & professionally to completion.

My custody situation was not the usual because to the eye it is something that should be easily mediated but unfortunately it was not so it required court.

I am so happy I found her and I'm glad I was able to have someone like her in my corner throughout this process.

Carolyn is a wonderful attorney and a supportive, understanding human being. I am truly grateful…read morethat I had the opportunity to work with her. I spoke with several attorneys before making my decision, and from our very first phone call I could tell she was different. She did not rush the conversation or treat it like just another case, she listened carefully, understood the details of my situation, and provided thoughtful, practical advice right away. That first call lasted more than half an hour, and after it, I knew I wanted her to represent me. My divorce case was long and challenging, and Carolyn was exceptional throughout the entire process. She handled many responsibilities beyond what was expected and always remained solution-focused. At times, the mediator and the opposing attorney were difficult to work with, and there were even moments when it felt like she was doing more than her share just to keep the process moving forward. She was always accessible, I could reach her quickly whenever needed, we spent hours discussing important details, and she consistently responded to my emails in minutes. I was going through an extremely difficult time financially and emotionally, and Carolyn was incredibly supportive. Even during periods when I struggled to make payments, she continued to work hard and never pressured me. In fact, there were times when she first asked whether I was financially okay before even mentioning her fees. That says a lot about her character, she is not money-centered; she genuinely cares about her clients as people. There were moments when I shared my sadness and emotional struggles, and she was supportive like a friend and, at times, almost like a therapist. She guided me with honesty and professionalism, sometimes telling me things that were difficult to hear, but that honesty is exactly what makes her such an exceptional attorney. She does not sugarcoat reality; she is direct, logical, and always focused on achieving the best possible outcome. In the end, we were able to reach an agreement, and my divorce is now finalized. I truly owe this result in large part to Carolyn's dedication, intelligence, and steady guidance. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs not only a highly skilled and successful attorney, but also a genuinely kind and compassionate human being.

I found that she has an extremely level-headed, intellectual approach to pretty much everything she does; but her "bedside" manner is not for everyone. As with any brilliant intellectual, sometimes she communicates in a way that is different from your mainstream, aggressive attorney; but the payoff is well worth it. We have always been more than satisfied with her ability to solve even our most difficult legal issues, including a very nasty, heated divorce. Not only does she have the experience necessary to tackle anything relating to her specialties, but her brilliance surpasses most other lawyers I have hired -- regardless of price or years in practice. Among her other credentials, she holds a PhD in tax law. I refer her to everyone I know who needs an attorney. She is caring and steadfast in her service.

My case was a mess and involved my kids, custody, and a lot of stuff that really mattered to my family. Sharie and her team were always prepared and I felt like they actually had a plan, not just billing me for every little thing. My ex paid nearly double what I paid, but I won, and got a decision that was good for my kids and my family, and my ex was even ordered to pay toward my attorney fees. Sharie is tough. She knows family law and she knows how to actually litigate a case. She didn't stuff their billing to drive up the price like my ex's attorneys did. She knew when to fight and when to negotiate and even talked me down when I thought the only path forward was fighting. If you're looking for a family law attorney, especially for custody or a contested divorce, I would definitely recommend Virginia Family Law Center. Hopefully I never need a family lawyer again, but if I do I'm calling Sharie and her team.
