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!

After meeting with her and explaining my legal situation she did exactly what she said she would. She told me the pros and cons of what to expect the outcome may be. There were no surprises. She did what she said she would do. She never left me hanging. On the final court date Attorney Alleman stepped in and he was well aware of the status of the case.

This was one of the longest custody trials that our judge has ever seen. Throughout my experience, from the initial phone call to the final day of court, I felt well taken care of and I was confident the best interest of my child was always at the forefront of the case. Mr. Jeffries was straightforward throughout the entire process, steadfast, and provided me with the confidence I needed to make it through this trial. Michelle, his assistant, always greeted me in a warm and friendly manner and was a pleasure to work with as well. Mr. Jeffries is not your average attorney. He is constantly committing his time to researching the most up-to-date legal practices, laws, and relevant information available to provide you with a reliable and competitive advantage in the courtroom. He pays incredible attention to detail and was always prompt to respond when I needed to speak with him. I didn't think I would find an attorney who would care about my case as much as me, but I feel Mr. Jeffries was just as committed and passionate about my case. It is incredibly rare to find an attorney with the experience, knowledge, professionalism, commitment, passion, and care he offers. If you're looking for an attorney, Mr. Jeffries is a wise investment. I highly recommend him!

I'm not sure how to start this review. There is nothing I can write that would convey how impressed…read moreI am with Ms. Sherwood. While living in Richmond, I had a well known lawyer as representation for my divorce. It cost $$$$ and I never really understood what was happening. Recently my ex took me back to court. Since I now live in Yorktown, I started looking around for an attorney in the area that would represent me in Richmond. I wanted somebody that wouldn't fall for my ex's charm and manipulation, somebody tough but not aggressive in the courtroom, preferred someone that was a parent ( since children were involved), and a lawyer that would always tell me my options, good & bad! I received Ms. Sherwood's name from an acquaintance and called her. She responded quickly and advised me on several points before I even agreed to hire her. That's right! Free legal advice - yes, it was on small items but still impressive! Do NOT be nervous when you pull up at her office that first time. I was accustomed to the $$$$ Richmond lawyer's luxury office so her office wasn't what I expected. It is modest & neat but not fancy. Do NOT let the decor make you hesitate! I walked in....had a little trouble figuring out where in the building she was located and was greeted by her assistant. Ms. Sherwood saw me at our scheduled time & I will NEVER go to another lawyer again. There were several obstacles & slick maneuvers by my ex but Ms. Sherwood kept me strong. My case was very subjective & I felt like Ms. Sherwood was able to take my information and really plead my case in a professional & persuasive manner. I felt truly heard - for the first time! Whether we won or lost, Ms. Sherwood has earned my endless appreciation & loyalty. She is a remarkable person & a very savvy & intelligent attorney. Put your mind at ease & call her! It took me 5 years to find THE BEST attorney and I'm leaving this review so you won't have to suffer like I did. AND her fees are VERY reasonable! Yes, we won!

When you have the loss of a friend and or a family member, you will have an awakening. You will find out quickly that you aren't truly prepared for that person's passing. You should think about having those not-so-fun conversations with your elders or spouse about their wishes if something were to happen to them. Think about everything that involves gathering one's personal property and assets. If you don't have a Will, General Power of attorney, Special Needs, Guardianship, Advance Medical Directive, Joint financial/monetary accounts, and or co-ownership of any assets. You may seriously want to think about having a Living Trust established. Don't be afraid to hire someone who specializes in family planning. The Dickerson & Smith Law Group located in Virginia Beach, VA. is a law firm you can depend on. The expense of having them draw up a Trust is minimal, compared to what it could cost by having to go through probate. The Dickerson & Smith Law Group is dedicated to assisting you with your estate planning. When my wife and I had our Trust drawn up, their associate team were all consummate professionals. Thank You, Dickerson & Smith Law Group, and I like to give Mr. D. Dickerson Jr. Esq. a special thank you for his counsel and for establishing our family's living trust. It gave us a piece of mind knowing we can sleep well at night, without worrying about how our assets are distributed in the event of our passing.
