Without a doubt, my experience with Livesay & Myers in handling my divorce was exceptional. My lawyer, Amanda Stone-Swart, and her paralegal, Danielle Humiston, were professional, courteous and compassionate from beginning to end.

You didn't want to be here, reading divorce lawyer reviews. You're stressed and hurt. You know that picking the right lawyer could be the difference between getting on with your life sooner or dealing with years of expense and frustration. Lucky for you, you found Livesay & Myers. Brianna Salerno and Dollie Tran were for me the flawlessly competent and sympathetic legal team I needed. I recommend them and the folks at Livesay & Myers in the highest possible terms. They helped me get through my unwelcome divorce in less time and for less money that I imagined possible. Definitely talk to several firms (I did), but in the end I am confident that if you select Livesay & Myers you will have made the right choice.

Lindsay & Myers did a fantastic job representing me in my divorce. While the situation was not pleasant, my lawyer and her team made it less painful. I would highly recommend them, especially my lawyer, Ms. Brianna Salerno.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Livesay & Myers. I had the privilege of working with Lindsay Connolly and her paralegal Matthew Hall and words cannot describe how thankful I am for them and all of their dedication and hard work. I hired Lindsay for a difficult custody case. She was always upfront, professional, organized, punctual, and determined to do everything in her power to make sure I received custody of my children. Truthfully, it’s disappointing to know our time has come to an end (as thankful as I am that it is). However, I can confidently say I would trust and recommend Lindsay to take on any case involving child custody and/or child support. I can’t thank her and Matt enough for giving me the peace of mind I was so desperately searching and praying for. If you’re looking for an attorney that is willing to go above and beyond and genuinely cares for their client, this is your woman!

Livesay & Myers has been there to answer any and all of my questions, directly from day one. I had gotten countless amounts of advice and heard so many "stories" about other peoples experiences and outcomes of their situations. I was always told even by my peers how my divorce situation would look in the end. They were all wrong. Jon McHugh, a very well aware divorce attorney at Livesay & Myers was there to provide me with accurate and current up to date information and laws pertaining directly to my situation. He pointed me in the right direction to get me what I wanted, how to properly do it and in good faith. Responsiveness from the firm was also a huge plus. Anytime I would call or send an email, the phone was answered right away, or I was directed to Jon's paralegal due to him being in court. He would always follow up with me when he was available. I had an altercation with my ex wife in the house where we were both residing at the time. I had sent him an email out of desperation at around 10:00PM. He answered me back and told me exactly what to do in that situation to keep me protected and out of trouble. The responsiveness of this law firm goes above and beyond. Understanding is a double edged sword. Some firms will specialize in making the other parties lives extremely difficult. When it comes to Livesay & Myers, they are understanding on both parties and want the best possible outcome for both parties involved which is only going to help you get even further ahead than you ever expected. Going through a divorce is a difficult and very frustrating time. I have been outright furious with the other party involved in my case. Jon was there to do exactly what I had paid him to do which was point me in the right direction and keep my head on straight. They are not therapists, they are top dollar lawyers, which ties into the cost effectiveness of everything as well as civility. These aren't your typical "jail house lawyers" or "your aunts friend who is a divorce attorney". Livesay & Myers ARE divorce attorneys who know the rules in and out as well as how to properly decipher your angry words and thoughts into civil and respectable terms which will make everything go a lot smoother than anticipated. They are stern, and are not afraid to take up the "NO B.S." attitude. When it comes to legal battles with this firm, they will leave you feeling nothing but confident and reassured that you are getting what is fair and right for you, as well as what is fair and right for your children if they are involved. To this day, I refer anyone who asks about divorce information to Livesay & Myers. They are the best in the business.

I've had an exceptional experience with military divorce. My lawyer, Matthew Smith of Livesay & Myers, was extremely knowledgeable of the complicated language required for a military divorce. He did an excellent job informing me of my rights as we went through our separation and helped me finalize my divorce. He was able to explain everything to me and guide me through this difficult process. I was very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend this law office to anyone who is struggling through a difficult divorce, especially military spouses.

Matthew Smith and his team at Livesay & Myers were at their very best at a time when I was feeling my very worst as a result of a contentious and personal legal matter. As a practicing attorney, I understand that we don't always make the best of clients; however, Matt was a consummate professional, ever-patient, and immediately responsive to my manifold questions and concerns. The result? Spectacular! With the benefit of one year's hindsight, I appreciate and am grateful that Matt and Livesay & Myers secured an early and airtight legal advantage in our case and allowed me to move forward from the unpleasant situation and realize a return to a life of peace and happiness. Matt and Livesay & Myers are MOST deserving of recognition as Best Lawyer and Best Law Firm.

John Reese

Family Law

We worked with an Attorney-Paralegal Team led by Matt Smith of Livesay & Myers. He and his paralegal went above and beyond the call of duty in supporting a client who was going through the most difficult period of his life. Other than Matt's sharp legal acumen and effective legal representation, he was kind and compassionate toward his client. Matt treated his client as a whole person. His legal support to the client was godsend.

Jenny Lin

I can’t begin to express what a wonderful experience I had working with Livesay & Myers, particularly Matthew Smith. They were professional, thorough, knowledgeable and most of all, kind and understanding during a difficult and painful process. Divorce is a scary time, and there’s no greater comfort than feeling you have the best on your side—and hiring Matthew Smith is hiring the best. He consistently worked to balance what was best for my case.

Jonathan McHugh and his staff at Livesay & Myers were extremely helpful and professional. I am an out-of-state client, and he went above and beyond in my custody hearing. My previous experience with a different firm had left me uneasy. He eased my worries and frustrations, as he ommunicated and addressed all my questions timely and professionally. Affordable and understanding, he is my first choice for any future needs.

Working with Matthew Smith and the team at Livesay & Myers made an unfortunate family situation the best possible experience. Everyone I talked to took extreme care to understand the nuisances of my legal matter and the intricacies of the family dynamics. They gave me solid advice and recommendations, while still giving me options at every critical decision point. Ultimately, Matthew Smith was able to place me in an advantageous position through negotiation without having to go court.

Livesay & Myers is an extraordinary law firm that I would recommend to anyone seeking a Family Law attorney in Northern Virginia. Their lawyers were knowledgeable and professional in their handling of my case. I always felt I could call or email them with any questions or concerns and would receive their full attention. As a person with no prior experience of the court system, their lawyers made everything easier and I am pleased with the results of our case.

Connell Cunningham

Livesay & Myers was amazing in handling my divorce and custody dispute. Amanda Stone Swart was diligent and thorough in handling the unusual issues that came up in my child custody dispute. From my experience, she advocates for her clients and truly advocates for what is in the best interest of the children. Amanda was out on maternity leave and I worked with a couple of attorneys from the same firm. All attorneys were very professional and thorough as well. I would highly recommend!

I could have asked for no more and I am completely satisfied with the results.
