I don’t believe you can rate a law practice accurately. Having experienced more family law than I can stomach, I am incapable of honestly believing it is about justice. That said, with 4 law firms and a very uncouth and demanding criteria I have to say for now that this is probably the best on my radar. Take the time to do the research as your kids are worth it. That said, understand that it may not matter unless you are willing to pay to play.

Our appointed Guardian at litem was Elizabeth Ireland. She is a mother herself therefore sees all sides and very down-to-earth yet smart in the legal sense. I will retain her from now on for any and all various legal representation. The best unknown Hampton Roads attorney ever and ive used just about all the "best" lawyers before.

Ms. Ireland was my attorney for my child custody case. I found her through my work union website and I have to say I am glad she was listed. I had a horrible attorney the first time I went to court and Ms. Ireland came in after hearing my story and took me on as a client. If you want someone who is going to sugarcoat things and tell you what you want to hear, find a different person. Ms. Ireland gave it to me straight and I did not make it easy on her (or myself). She was able to help me out and she is worth it. I would recommend her to any one who needs an attorney. Ms. Ireland represents her

Peter Jankell is a very talented lawyer! I took the time to make a yelp account just to let you know how great he is. He has saved my naval career! Not getting into specifics, but he helped me when it was a very low point in my life. All the other lawyers talk big game and charge so much! He tells you exactly how it is and what your probabilities are. He was very aggressive and took my case seriously from beginning to end. He only charged me 1/8 of how much other lawyers would charge me for this case. He is very professional and I would definitely recommend him to anyone as an attourney. Thank

Horrible service!! I just went through a divorce with this firm and the service was unbelievably poor. I was not mailed documents that I said I would receive, I was not told my attorney would be taking a leave of absence during my case, the office paralegal that I worked with was very unprofessional and on some occasions short in her e-mails. I was not told that my attorney had no access to my account for almost 2 months during my case. I was told I would be billed an "uncontested" rate plus a few other incidentals at an hourly rate. All that should have totaled about $2500, but
