H. VAN SMITH - SMITH STRONG, PLC REVIEWS
Smith Strong, PLC has been with me and guided me through some difficult situations, both personally and professionally. They are always attentive to my needs, respond in a timely manner to phone calls and questions, they are always courteous and professional; I will always turn to Van Smith for counsel on legal matters. I have not had a negative experience with this firm; the support staff are wonderful people too. I highly recommend you interview them for your next legal move, it is doubtful you will be disappointed.
Van Smiths has been my legal team for over two years through a difficult divorce and child custody. The lawyers and the legal team did an outstanding job ensuring all my concerns were addressed. Probably the most important thing you need first is information to understand the legal processes. Van provides great information and feedback to allow you to make the right decisions at the right time. In the end I got a much better settlement then I could have hoped for at the start. Mostly due to Vans' team providing insight into the legal processes and developing a winning strategy. I highly recommend them.
Van Smith has been by far the best attorney you will every come across. Both he and his staff have been there for me every step of the way through a very tough litigation process. Van made me feel at ease throughout this process, and always made it a point to be both responsive; and had such superb knowledge of the law; that I was not left in a position where I felt that I was not in good hands. His skills in the court room far exceeded that of opposing counsel. Van took my life throughout my custody/divorce process into his own hands and placed very close attention to details that, in my experience, far exceeded that of other attorneys. This is by far the best attorney in the state of Virginia, and would highly recommend him to anyone going through a difficult divorce/custody battle

BARNES & DIEHL, P.C. REVIEWS
Ron Evans and his staff did an excellent job in handling my challenging divorce. He guided me through the entire process and always kept me informed. Ron took the time to explain to me all of my options moving forward, including options that involved the court system. Ron's mindset of "firm, yet fair" also proved to be very successful during tense negotiations. Lastly, I found Ron Evans via a verbal recommendation and I would gladly recommend Ron Evans to the next person that needs assistance in the arena of Family Law.
I was referred to Harris Leiner by a friend. When you're going through a difficult time, you want an attorney that will make the process as easy and seamless as possible, and Harris did just that. He and his staff were responsive and knowledgeable and made my experience as stress-free as it could be. I highly recommend Harris and his team. They're wonderful!
Anne did a phenomenal job representing me. She was professional and compassionate about my case. I highly recommend her and cannot express how immense my gratitude is for her stellar work.

CHRIS MACTURK - EVOLUTION DIVORCE & FAMILY LAW, PLLC REVIEWS
I contacted Chris to handle my divorce case after doing a simple internet search looking for an attorney. Testimonials for Chris's company seemed to be sincere, so I reached out. Chris contacted me himself. His confidence and experience were immediately noticeable, so I hired him. Chris and his team were diligent, immediate, and kept me informed every step of the way. They answered my questions and did not sugarcoat things. They kept me at ease in their abilities during the entire process. Pre-agreed pricing was certainly convenient, and Chris honors all his time. The biggest unique challenge to my case was the fact that I live in New York, but the divorce was handled in Virginia. Chris and his team made that a non-issue. Chris got me exactly the outcome I was looking for. My other friends around Virginia were surprised, and a little jealous of my results. Not only did he get the results I was looking for, he did it quickly. He's very professional and very decisive, a true master of his trade.
Chris was there to listen to my needs from day one. Although I knew he had other clients, he always got back to me in a timely manner. He was responsive, thorough, and was willing to talk things through (a lot). He asked me great questions that made me think my decisions through, although he never tried to persuade me one way or another. I wasn’t sure about the pre-agreed pricing approach at first, but after seeing how tiny things can add up, I’m so glad I did it this way. In the end, my result was exactly what I wanted and needed, and it was thanks to Chris and his great work.
