Hello. My name is Adrian Morales…read more My experience with Livesay & Myers had some positives, but also major setbacks. I started with a different lawyer who was rushed, inattentive, and whose overall planning wasn't beneficial to my case. When she retired, I was assigned to Alyssa, who had little experience with custody cases. Despite this, Alyssa was professional, approachable, and genuinely tried to support me, explaining legal issues clearly and making a stressful process more understandable. Brittany was a good assistant and helpful whenever she could. Unfortunately, a very crucial court date was missed by Alyssa, which I believe was the turning point in our case. After that, the judge sent our case to Fauquier County, and that's when things started to go downhill. To make matters worse, during my last case in Loudoun County, they sent a random attorney to support me who didn't know anything about my case, making both me and Livesay & Myers look unprepared in front of the judge. After spending $18,000, I literally got nothing from the ordeal--the only modification that came out of all this was a calling schedule with my kids. Livesay & Myers can be capable and supportive, but I strongly suggest clarifying who will handle your case and their experience with custody matters before committing.

Travis Tull is an amazing lawyer, and his paralegal, Ileana Quintero is amazing as well. I am glad to say that I was 100% able to put my trust into them and into Tate Bywater. I was always contacted before a decision was made and I was never left astray during the process of my case. Thanks to the help of Travis Tull and Ileana Quintero. Jamie Nolasco has been more than amazing as well. I was always greeted in a friendly manner, even when having conversations over the phone. Jamie Nolasco set an amazing, trusting atmosphere as soon as you walk into the door. I highly recommend Tate Bywater, Attorneys!

"Ibrayeva v Kublan"…read more I would encourage anyone considering retainment of Kublan to first search via Google "Ibrayeva v Kublan" and read the resulting document carefully and in full. It is the case summary of an appeal to a ruling for divorce filed by Kublan's former wife (and mother of their children). The document states Kublan represented himself in the matter. Kublan has adopted the approach and argumentation reflected in his own divorce proceding in subsequent client representations. Potential clients risk suboptimal outcomes as his approach may result in a negative reputation and/or poor credibility among some judges in Virginia. Again, I would urge careful consideration of the case summary noted above before contacting this lawyer. UPDATE 12/13/21 Kublan emailed the attached picture of text to my legal representative shortly after the above review appeared on Google. I have omitted the last name of my lawyer; otherwise, below I have posted Kublan's note with complete accuracy and in full.

I am so thankful for the support, time and effort that Mr. Kublan put in my case. He is focused, organized, efficient and very responsive. During the most stressful time of my life, his guidance, legal expertise and confident demeanor made me feel at ease. He developed a strategy and explained to me the step-by-step course of action. I felt safe trusting him with my case. Mr. Kublan was so impressive in the courtroom. His well articulated arguments were very convincing. He was really fighting for me. I felt safe going into this battle, having such a professional, knowledgeable, confident attorney by my side. I could not have been happier with the service I received. I highly recommend Mr. Kublan for any family related cases.

The best part of my experience, and the highlight of the entire experience was the initial…read moreconsultation with Soo. She gave excellent direction and fully explained all options available. After this, I was assigned to another attorney within the firm. The representation itself was fine, but I did feel that there was unneeded back-and-forth at times, with each message being billed at a rate of 6 minutes, it all adds up. The tipping point was when I emailed asking if we could reach out to the other party's representation and also asked if there were any strategies to move toward a resolution. I received a response stating "It is good to hear from you. It probably makes sense for you to reach out to [other party regarding my question] and the need to reach a resolution. If you are able to reach an agreement, then we can help you to memorialize its terms." I was surprised when I was charged for this, and when I asked if I was being charged, I was ignored. Finally, when I asked to end my relationship with the firm and requested a refund of my retainer, the amount billed for the aforementioned email response was deducted. While it was only ~$40, my question was not even answered. I was offered a 15 minute consultation at a later time, but since I'm no longer a client, asked if that was something I would even be able to use. A week later and I have not received a response. I would be cautious of this firm if your situation is not cut and dry and to whom you are assigned. In my experience, Soo Keithley is fantastic, but others may leave you wanting for more.

Let's just say I have experience now with other divorce attorneys in the area, and it's worth your time to keep looking because you can do much better. A lot of the other posters' negative experiences with Soo and her firm are very familiar and similar to my own. In my opinion, professionalism is a huge issue with this firm. Ultimately and I cannot emphasize this enough -- this firm became just as, if not more, stressful to deal with than the high conflict divorce I was embroiled in. And that is not a feeling you want with your attorney who is supposed to advocate for your interests.

He's been an advocate for me twice now (and my sister in law) in cases which were the most stressful times in our lives, calmly lowers the distraction with critical clarity and best outcomes for us both. I'm ever grateful for a professional relationship begun so many years ago continues to support me thoughtfully, professionally, with clear knowledge of the ever changing law, handled expeditiously with kindness, and generous comforting spirit. I wholeheartedly highly recommend Don Anderson of Kelly, Burnes Danker and Luu Sincerel, Ellen Brooks

I have had an ongoing open case with DCSE for arrearages in the tens of thousands. Rather than see the trial through she opted to settle for less than half of what is owed. She did not file what was asked in the amount of dollars owed and left it as 50% of all child related expenses. The father is now behind 8 months once again which always leads back to court. This is what they want, so you will continue to retain them and spend your life savings. Then a court hearing was scheduled in November of last year for August of this year giving this girm ample time to prepare. Once again I could not reach them for over a month asking how do we prepare. Discovery was due and instead of admitting to failure they decided to drop my case one month before the trial date. I was forced to retain a real attorney however the damage was done. Since no evidence was submitted to the courts, trial was postponed and removed from the docket. They didn't even have a file for my case. They sent over next to nothing when requested by my new firm. Now we have to re-submit filings and most likely wait another 8 months for a trial date available. Save your time and hard earned money for a firm who takes your childs best interest seriously!!
