Looking for a good divorce lawyer in the FFX area. Please don't refer someone that charges me for stupid shit like emailing me their address and that actually has the balls to fight out what their client wants instead of giving me the schpeal about what they think the judge would do.

Already spend a boat load on a useless POS lawyer and looking to get quality service for work thats actually done.

Thank you

I can only offer one piece of advice and it's what a lawyer told me once:

"You can't get brain surgery for a dollar and a quarter". Simple, you get what you pay for.

If you have no kids and your divorce settlement wouldn't be too complicated, Kales and Kales have flat fee divorces to where you never even have to go to court. My divorce was $700 plus $86 court costs/filing. I think it's $599 if there are no kids or property.

My ex and I are on good terms so it was an easy process. Totally worth it to avoid court.

The other side of the divorce case wanted Kate to be the mediator. We accepted, and Kate moved the case from a complete impasse to a complete settlement quickly. The last part took the involvement of counsel as well, but that part was done quickly and efficiently, with a definitive result. I'd do it again.

I was very satisfied with the level of involvement, knowledge, communication and aggressiveness.

I was very satisfied with Catherine Reese's level of involvement, knowledge, communication and aggressiveness. You pay for what you get. If you want the best, be willing to pay for it.

I have just found out that my spouse is divorcing me. After leaving us in October 2014 and to follow, SO MUCH manipulation, false hope, other spying tactics… I've discovered I was a fool with false hope and they have strategically been setting me up this entire time. The attorney is Jay Meyerson and I just discovered that he is quite the pitbull, well-connected, and a previous president of the Bar Association. Is also very well-connected with the democratic party. Does anyone have a suggestion for an attorney that is equally as aggressive and connected and can go head to head?

AVOID MIKE DAUGHERTY!

I had him and what a disaster, the positive reviews on Yelp, etc I found out to be fake. What a lazy attorney that is soft as butter and only cares about getting his money. He didn't do anything for me and I had to switch attorneys.

There are no good divorce attorneys.

I hired 2 in Fairfax and all they did was deplete assets. One was a "good lawyer" on the thread.There was zero benefit from hiring them. I'm bankrupt now.

They also make huge mistakes. Miscalculation of assets. Not listening. It's amazing. Shit dragged out and tens of thousands of dollars wasted. Divorce lawyers are just like a payday loan shop. Shitty service, exorbitant prices.

I'd recommend not listening to your friends who fucked their ex and find a mediator. It might cost you substantially less money and agitation.

Life is too short. If you hire a pit bull lawyer make sure you read about the negative consequences that can come from it. Suicide, homicide, kids with mental illness are sadly common in a litigated divorce. Also the pit bulls can make huge mistakes and cost you tons.

Good luck. Choose mediation.

I agree with the people who say there are no good family law lawyers. They lack a moral compass and look only to line their own pockets. Stay away from Steven Stone, Brian Hirsch and John Whitbeck. I believe they have no integrity and are earning a place in purgatory (if not worse), with the things they do, if not worse. How they can sleep at night is beyond me.

I married my wife in an Eastern European country. Does anyone know if I can get the divorce there to my advantage? We aren't/weren't living there - it was a destination wedding.

Colleen Haddow. She tries to settle cases out of court, but understands that going to Court is sometimes the best option. Very responsive as well.

To the dads in this group: what’s a reasonable fee range for achieving a settlement agreement in Fairfax assuming few draft rounds between attorneys. I am at 18K Out of pocket. Assume one minor child support (not an issue) and alimony amount for seven years.

Any ballparks from real casss appreciated!

You are leaving out too many variables. How much property is involved and what is it. How much debt is there. Have the parties agreed to what is marital property and what is not. Are there any hard to value items. Are you fighting about who gets which pieces of property or just about the amount of the payment to equalize the division. Is there an agreement that the spousal support will last seven years or is that just your estimate or desire. Is the amount of support also agreed to, and what about modification of the spousal support. Is child support not an issue because you are OK with guidelines or it is not an issue because it has already been agreed to. Then there is the biggest issue of all. Are both sides reasonable, rational and informed and willing to set aside the emotional issues that are probably responsible for them getting a divorce in the first place.

I used Nick Solan. He's young and super busy, but he's $300/hr. He didn't take bullshit from my ex's lawyer, and everything was split equitably. He kept us out of court and made things happen fast. You just have to email him constantly or else you'll fall off his radar. Small price to pay for a divorce under $10k.

Early morning lawyer: you sound like a lawyer. and it ain't a compliment. an answering question with a question and no actual facts isn't an answer. I asked for ballparks. But true to your training, you answered with 'it depends'. Maybe that's why you are 'early am'...try night court...

My ex left me for someone else and left me without health insurance for months. Our great health care system didn't allow me to get a new plan because we weren't officially divorced. I had to wait weeks to get treated for cancer because that monster wouldn't keep me on her plan or a few months.

I know you don't mean it as a compliment, but I take it as one. It means I am not willing to pander to your unrealistic requirements, but instead insist on answering the question correctly, and in an informed manner.
