Going through a divorce is one of the toughest, life altering experiences anyone can face. With the unique complications I was facing, I needed an attorney who had the experience, temperament, strategic thinking skills, who also genuinely cared about the well-being of their client, to represent me. Steve was referred to me and at every turn, he either met or exceeded my expectations. He made sure that every contact had a purpose and worked to cut legal costs throughout the process. If something was an email matter, then it was resolved over email. If it required a conversation, it was up to me to decide, and when I opted for a conversation, with Steve or the team, it was efficient and provided the clarity I needed at the time. There are no winners in a divorce. But I believe you can achieve fairness, and an amicable split, which leads to a resolution that brings about a sense of closure. What could have been a nightmare of process in the hands of the wrong attorney, was a relatively easy and amicable process that avoided litigation, because of Steven Goldman, Jenna Hayba and paralegal Julia Nelson. I am deeply grateful to them for the peace I am now experiencing post-marriage. I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend family law attorneys Steven Goldman & Jenna Hayba.

Carl Schoenherr was my attorney for my custody, visitation and divorce. He is a hard worker and very dedicated. He did an excellent job throughout the entire process. He is very knowledgeable, professional and kind. He always explained everything in a way that I understood. He has always been quick to answer my emails and he is very prompt. He did an exceptional job at trial! Myself and my family were highly impressed. He was very attentive and on point the entire time. He was able to adjust and adapt to anything that came his way or anything that changed. His closing argument was exceptional! I am happy with the outcome and I'm so thankful I had Carl Schoenherr for my representation. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs representation. He is excellent!

Mr. Steve Goldman is an exceptional lawyer. I would hands down recommend Mr. Goldman. He handled my case and represented me in a most professional manner. Every step of the way Mr. Goldman explained all issues at hand and provided a recommendation that would best suit not only myself but my child. I always followed his recommendation which always culminated in a successful outcome. His extensive knowledge of law, wealth of experience on child custody matters, and his ability to strategize each scenario of the case always meant Mr. Goldman was several steps ahead of the opposing lawyer. Furthermore, Mr. Goldman was able to settle out of court with all of our demands agreed upon and then some! Not only did this save money but it saved the additional stress and emotional toll court would have brought. This was a testament to his legal prowess. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. If you want someone on your side representing you Mr. Steve Goldman is who you need.

Steven Goldman is an excellent Attorney who truly serves in the best interest of his clients. He is extremely well mannered and transparent in his performance of providing excellent legal representation. Steven represented me in a lengthy custody case that was very complex to say the least. He was straightforward on what my focus needed to be, the steps I had to take and the considerations that needed to be weighed in order to ensure an optimal outcome of the case. I took his advisement and applied it accordingly which resulted in a favorable end result. I recommend anyone who is looking for a hardworking, poised, experienced, effective and most importantly "play no games" Attorney to consider Steven Goldman. If he was able to make a difference in my situation then he can definitely do the same in yours.

I was googling the area and found this place through a referral and they are amazing here. I spoke to Director of Operations, Mike, briefly about my separation and what the process is that is to follow and he answered a lot of my questions. Mike saved all my questions down, which was a lot, and he called me later at night past 7pm to see if I can schedule a time to talk to their attorney, Joe Pietro, and I was thrilled! I had a chance to consult with Joe the day after and again, another great person to talk to! He took his time, very understanding and made me feel secure and confident, and gave me sound advice! Overall, I felt really confident with the team here and I felt empowered with the information they’ve given me. I would highly recommend this team here!

As is often the case with those going through a divorce, this was perhaps the worst time in my life. John and Sakeena helped me so much with their extreme patience and kindness as I asked a ridiculous number of questions. I always had the impression that "they had my back" and that I was part of a team. Let me close by saying that not only were they compassionate, but also extremely competent and professional in handling my many inquiries. I could not give DiPietro Law Group a higher recommendation,

Navigating my divorce was challenging experience to say the least but i was supported and guided every step by my lawyer Camellia and staff. Camellia managed to get both parties to a settlement in less than six month in my complex situation. Her main focus was always the best interest of my children and that I was also taken care of in a fair way. Camellia was always responsive and timely in answering my questions and concern. I would recommend her and her law firm to anyone who want a highly qualified attorney, who will watch out for your interests and those of your children, who can be tough when necessary, who has knowledge and understanding of law.

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.

I found Chris through online reviews and found him to be accessible, considerate, and measured in his advice. Chris composed an agreement that met my needs and the outcome was ideal. His agreed-upon pricing was also highly preferable for me. It was a very uncertain time and I felt that knowing the pricing ahead of time was a reprieve. Pricing was quite fair.

I contacted Chris to understand the process of a non-contested divorce. He met with me twice at no charge to gather information and help me understand the process, which he did expertly. He explained technical legal jargon clearly and answered all of my questions patiently. I felt confident and comfortable moving forward with the divorce through Evolution because of how well I was treated and how much I felt valued. I also interacted with several other members of Chris' team throughout this process and everyone was friendly, communicative, punctual with responses and paperwork, and extremely helpful overall. They really helped alleviate a lot of the stress and anxiety that can come with going through something like this. Now, for his Pre-Agreed Pricing: All my life, I've heard horror stories of exorbitant legal fees creating financial crises in people's lives. Knowing I wouldn't be nickel-and-dimed was appealing because I could budget and predict my finances around this process instead of being hit with unexpected expenses and fees. Also, I was astounded just how much time and work was covered under one pre-agreed price. I honest and truly felt that I got much more than my money's worth. Evolution achieved the results I wanted, and even when the courts played their bureaucratic games with us and delayed the process several times (outside of Evolution's control), I unwaveringly felt that Chris and his team were dedicated to making sure that they saw this process through in as timely a manner as possible. They communicated clearly and consistently every time a legal challenge would present itself.

Some notes about Alex Xanttopoulos which set him apart from prior experience... He makes you feel like his only client. His feathers are never ruffled. He steps over drama and gets the job done. He redirected me on many occasions without being condescending. He showed respect for all parties and it was clear that they respected him (don't mistake that for being a push over - he wins on every point). He is a master of detail and numbers, is measured, strategic and has spot-on instincts. He was a trusted steward of the money in my retainer. He managed most of a complicated case under the initial retainer amount while still doing an incredibly thorough job. Best life-business decision I ever made.

Great team to work with. Had a family matter that required legal representation and after speaking with two or three other firms, I selected Chris Malinowski and his team. During the first interview, he was one of the only lawyers that provided concrete and practical advice on my situation and proposed next steps to move the issue forward. From starting working with his firm to the end, I could not have been happier with the level of service and support provided throughout the process. Kept me in the loop with opposing counsel correspondence throughout, responsive team whenever I had a question or follow up needed, and conducted business in an efficient and cost effective manner. I will be using Malinowski Hubbard for any of my representation needs on family issues in the future. Highly recommended!

I whole-heartedly recommend Malinowski Hubbard, PLLC for divorce and custody in Virginia. I was fortunate to have such highly professional, sharp and realistic attorney as Christopher Malinowski. He is outstanding in court, firm in talking to opposing counsel, and attentive in day-to-day issues that undoubtedly come up in high-contentious divorce. He is the best family attorney in Virginia, and Jennifer Gregg on his team is a rising star in family law practice. I faced challenging times, and their no-nonsense guidance, experience and wisdom were my beacon of hope.

I retained Christopher Malinowski to represent me in a contested divorce upon a recommendation from a friend who also used Mr. Malinowski in a divorce situation similar to mine. By that point, I had worked with two other lawyers but was not satisfied with the progress on my case. Meanwhile, my spouse retained a very expensive and aggressive lawyer who advocated vigorously on his behalf from the beginning. I could tell the difference between my other two lawyers and Mr. Malinowski after my first meeting with Mr. Malinowski. Unlike with my other two lawyers, I did not have to convince Mr. Malinowski to advocate on my behalf. After hearing the details of my case during our first meeting, I could tell that Mr. Malinowski was sympathetic to my circumstances, was ready to advocate on my behalf, and knew what he was doing. I knew I was in good hands and felt that I finally had a lawyer who could think strategy and was not intimidated by the opposing council. Thanks to Mr. Malinowski’s skills and guidance, we were able to avoid litigation while securing a favorable separation agreement. Mr. Malinowski always listened to my wants and needs while providing a voice of reason and logic when needed. He was flexible and always honored my preferences. He was available via email late at night and on the weekends and responded to my questions and concerns in a timely manner. He was always courteous yet firm with the opposing council – an important skill a lawyer must have. He has a fantastic team who do a great job supporting clients. I would highly recommend Mr. Malinowski to anyone who needs a serious, experienced, and no-nonsense professional to advocate on their behalf.

I am not one who needs hand holding, I came to Chris for his professional qualities and I couldn't be happier. One of the things I appreciated most is that Chris doesn't promote conflict or let it linger, he has a pro active approach to resolving issues. I am grateful for my experience with this firm and I only wish I hired them sooner.

Nicole Burns came recommended to me by the attorney I had (and trusted). When my attorney decided to leave law to raise a family, she told me that Nicole was a lot like her -- she takes the high road and doesn't get into dirty fighting with other attorneys. Exactly right. Nicole is a class act and works hard for you. She's a tough negotiator. And she really listened and fought for me and my child. This was a custodial agreement that needed to be modified and she worked hard to do what was best for my child. Best of all, she brought perspective and kept me on track. Her paralegal was also super helpful -- she did more to help me with the interrogatories and discovery than I had experienced with other law offices. I highly recommend Nicole and her team.

Homophobes!! I wish I had another set of hands so I could give them four thumbs down. They Took thousands of dollars for me. They did nothing but procrastinate. Contracts shouldn’t have taken more than a week. It took them nearly 10 months to do very little but edit my spouses lawyers work And fired me without so much as a phone call and then alerted my wife’s counsel immediately and left me in a very vulnerable position. They worked against me in the end! Ignored all communication from me. I wound up having to sign the original contract my wife’s counsel had drawn up over 10 months ago. I am infuriated to think how much money I spent and they essentially did nothing for me except take my money They did not care to hear my side of the story - that my wife had an affair with a man in her group therapy. They did nothing for me but tell me to wait and in the meantime they did very little work but we’re happy to take my money. If you are looking for a law firm that does very little work and treats you like a number, look no further - you have found the lawyer for you! That last response shows how gutless they are. They were against me from the beginning due to my sexual orientation. They are a bunch of homophobes. Do not trust these people. They just want your money.

It's not easy to choose an attorney and some things you don't find out until you've already paid the retainer. I'm leaving this review in the hopes it will help you make a decision. I found Nicole through the luck of the draw years ago. Nicole Burns has represented my husband and I for over three years on a high conflict post-divorce custody issue and it was a great decision. We'd had an attorney from a big name firm in the area to start with ten years ago. We thought big names meant better services because we had never hired an attorney before. While his hourly rate was lower since he was new, he ultimately cost us more by giving us incorrect tax advice and making an agreement that the IRS would not honor as well as telling us to give the other party whatever they wanted because she was "crazy" and would bankrupt us. Fast forward 10 months to the next conflict and finding Nicole Burns. First off, Nicole is a quality person. She takes the high road but won't be pushed around. She doesn't shy from conflict but tries to work things out first. She has integrity and you can't buy that. It comes from inside. She will tell you what your most likely outcome in court is but you should know that it ultimately is up to the judge and you don't always get what you want. In family law, nobody gets what they want all the time. Be prepared for that. Nicole has deftly handled everything that came up over the years. That includes working with another party that doesn't keep attorneys and rotates between representing herself and hiring new attorneys for a few months before firing them. Nicole was essential when Virginia DYFS was involved and working with them. She has helped us through getting protective orders to protect the abused child and working with the district attorney's office regarding the same. She is compassionate and cares about what she does. And she knows her stuff. Our post-divorce case involved abuse, DYFS, criminal charges, emergency motions, support modifications and garnishments, medical issues, a special needs child who could not speak for himself and working across state lines. When our funding for litigation ran low, she kept costs down and advised us on the best course. When it needed to be done, she told us so we could plan accordingly. The last thing you need to know which you probably don't know is that you want an attorney who is known in the court system. Your attorney's reputation means alot if you have to go to court. Nicole has worked in the courts and has a great reputation among those in the profession. On top of that, she's a parent and knows the work of doing the best for your child. Hire her now. I know I will when I need her again in two years.

I can't say enough incredible things about Sarah Knapp at ShounBach. When so much is at stake, there's no greater comfort than knowing you are in amazing legal hands.

Moreover, she is a good human being that cared about me and my daughter. This was a personal fight and I felt like she took it personally right along with me. She took the time to get to know us and believed in our family. Facts, figures, dates...she knew our unique situation like the back of her hand. Sarah came up with creative solutions and arguments I had never even considered and it gave me incredible confidence in her as my advocate. She was strong when we couldn't be - it was a huge comfort to us to have that level of protection. Sarah fought every step of the way for what was right and we are forever grateful!
