I spent at least 45 minutes with an attorney talking to me about my specific situation in language I could understand and in a way that helped me sort things out. I honestly believe that if they did not think it was a good idea that they would of told me so. It was just like getting advice from a family member, except Mr. Berkhimer really knew what he was talking about. I gotta admit that I was terrified to meet with an attorney but he just has a special way of explaining things - I know that I'm only a single client to them but I honestly came away knowing they did care. I can't put my finger on it but this guy is different, not pushy, just down to earth and there to help. Can't believe I just said that about an attorney. He tells you right up front that his goal is not to get mine and my husbands business but to help us out of a tough jam and if we wind up retaining them then great, if not, then give them a call if they can ever help out. WOW! The lost art of being human. The Jones Family

Mary Commander and her entire legal team are what you need on your side for any family law matter…read more Hands down, Mary Commander knows the Virginia family law, and practices civility and integrity from start to finish. Mary is tougher than nails and handles any high-conflict and nasty opposing counsel with ease. Mary is reasonable and the entire legal team will have you and your children's best interest as a priority. Regardless, if you have mediation or need to go to court or trial, Mary is a strong litigator and will have your back. From the beginning, Emily (Mary's receptionist) was prompt, patient with my numerous emails, and very responsive. Most of all, when things seemed bleak and overwhelming, Emily was considerate, patient, and kind with every one of my visits to their office. My first visit with Mary was a preemptive and strategic move as my ex had not filed a motion with the local court yet. Mary did not want to take a retainer fee unless needed. This was different than the 7 other attorneys I'd met with in the local area. Mary is 100% the epitome of integrity and is up front with you about your case and will NEVER charge you unnecessarily. For any other reviews that dislike what Mary might say, it is only because she will be honest and never sugarcoat any situation. This is what you need in an attorney and a legal team. Good or bad, you need an attorney and team that won't run up the bill or be fake with you. A little bit after I met with Mary, the ex eventually filed numerous motions. I had approximately 60+ pages worth of discovery and questions to respond to. As chaotic as it might seem, Abby(Mary's paralegal) made sure the process was seamless. Abby's prompt communication and "hand-holding" made the prep for the court hearing much easier. In fact, Abby had even more experience and knowledge than my ex's own attorney! The entire team kept me in the loop and made sure all my questions and concerns were promptly addressed even with Mary's schedule. Mary is the attorney you need. Granted you never know what a judge might say or decide, but the team at Commander Law will do everything they can to ensure your things go in your favor. There is nothing more reassuring and uplifting than seeing Mary in action in a courtroom. It's a great feeling when Mary and her team are fully prepared and state your case eloquently while opposing counsel continue to stumble in their responses to the points Mary brings up. I know that my ex will continue ongoing/future frivolous litigation, but as long as I have Mary on my side, I know it will be okay!

Today I served for jury duty and I saw Ms. Commander in the circuit court building. We road the elevator together. Funny she doesn't even recognize her own clients. I own my property and she allowed my ex to get 50,000 while he never contributed to the welfare of he home, he is not even own he deed. I paid 9,000 estimated to her and still paying! She did not recognize me because she had no intentions of helping me. Could it be that I am African -American? She never sit down and tried to understand , heck, I never meet her! I felt bullied and cheated. Please see the red flags! I had a lawyer who did not care, and could give a hen's egg about my child or us having a home to live in. My ex was abusive, narcissistic and down right hateful. Please pick a lawyer who gives a dam!

Retained this attorney for a custody matter in October 2026, and he was a no-show in court. He…read moreallowed the GAL to set the date, and went several days and did not reach out to me about the new court date. Despite my emailing, texting, and calling. His wife sent a text of the new court date after I had already gotten it from the clerk at the court. Next, he never made the discovery and lied and said he would all the way to a few weeks before the court date. He does not have a real office space. So you have nowhere to see him unless he reserves a space. Every real attorney should have a real office to meet clients in case of emergencies and to review paperwork. He had no real para legal other than his wife, who was attending to a baby, and you could even hear the baby and dog barking in the background. Next, he did not show for my custody hearing and did not call me to tell me it was cancelled. All he did was make broken promises that he could not deliver. Mr. "Let me win the case. Legal malpractice is the bottom line. He lied and said he would subpoena my son as a witness for an in-camera interview. Then his paralegal flips it two days before trial and says they will not because he is too young, they knew his age when they lied and said they would do it. He never got the GAL report before the trial. He sent it in an email and didn't even rebut it to the GAL, nor did he review or explain any of it to me. I might as well have just been pro se all over again. He didn't even get the settlement agreement done from the GAL. He went on vacation and left me to deal with the GAL on my own. I had to hear from the GAL that opposing counsel wasn't accepting the offer. This is a highly contested custody matter. I paid him everything he asked for and still NO RESULTS. His paralegal, Tina Allen, was very rude and put us on a wild goose chase on the day of the trial. She works out of her home, too. When I asked her after sitting in court for 3 hours on May 4th to see if anyone would show up, she snapped at my father and me for holding them accountable. I had to go to the clerk to find out why my case name was no longer on the docket. My case was allowed to be continued to February 2027 by this attorney, and my son's grades and emotional concerns are only getting worse when he is with the other parent. No child should have to suffer at the expense of attorneys getting rich off of people who are desperate to get their child back. If he had drawn up the discovery as quickly as he did the motion to withdraw, maybe he would have done something to get all that money he has charged just for answering emails when he wasn't on vacation for spring break. Nothing was even settled, and he just up and went on spring break. He swapped out paralegals 3 times from October to May 2026 and still NO RESULTS. THIS HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE!! All this man gave me was a false hope of getting my son back. REBUTTAL****************** You did not have a physical office on October 29, 2025, because I was told to drop the check near Prosperity near the battlefield bridge. You came and picked up the check after I called your wife and told her I was there and did not want to leave my check with the receptionist. She is the one who told me that you don't have an office there. She said that you rent out a conference room. We met at the Riverview Center (757-410-3293). They rent a conference room there. I waited for you to arrive, and you met me in the hallway and took the $5,000 certified check. The website is www.riverviewva.com. It clearly shows that they do podcasting and hold events at this place. This attorney just blew a case that you could have possibly won if you were honest and did not play head games with your client? I took a chance on you, and you have only been out of school for 11 years. I have been a social worker for over 26 years. I never went to George Washington Highway. He still has it on his website. My father went with me to that rented conference room. It was so tight in that little room that if they opened the door, they could hit the back of the chair I sat in. For the record, the supervised visitation was retaliation because I exposed the last GAL for lying when I was prose. Judge Banks said I was not an unfit mother, but still made an example of me by sending me to have supervised visitation anyway. You definitely gave false hope because even after the court date, you said you were going to Richmond. You claim there was a motion being filed by the current GAL, and it wasn't. My son's teacher was there as a witness at my hearing, and she just wasted her time being there. This attorney subpoenaed her to be there, Again the paralegal did not tell me not to go to court on Monday; she said, "she didn't know whether the GAL would be there or not. I have a witness to what was said because I had her on speaker. My father was listening to exactly what she said. My son's Godmother heard it too. *************************
