Smooth Divorce Process

From our initial consultation, Rachel provided clear and detailed information of the whole divorce process. Rachel is extremely knowledgeable , competent and answered all my questions. I felt confident to pursue what seemed to be a painful and challenging step. I was impressed with the quick turnarou...nd of the whole process. Rachel and her Paralegal Assistant, Leona were very supportive and understanding all the way. I highly recommend Rachel's Law Firm.

Thorough, Seasoned Expert!! Great experience!

I consulted with Rachel twice through my Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and retained her services, knowing that she would cover all aspects of my divorce proceedings. She provided education, adjunct resources, support, and transparency throughout. I truly could not have done this on my own and Rac...hel quickly responded to any questions/concerns I’ve had. Divorce is not an easy process but Rachel’s knowledge and expertise made this a seamless transition. I would definitely recommend Rachel Virk if you’re seeking a thorough, direct, and results-driven attorney. Great experience!

Amazing!

This is my second time writing a review for Ms. Virk, the first of which was under the name FDB. After retaining Ms. Virk, she delivered the most favorable outcome that I could imagine. She even directly helped both of my children, writing them letters for school on multiple occasions. She is a very ...caring lawyer, but more importantly a very caring person. She truly is invested in every one of her clients, and that attitude transcends any work she could do. Not to mention, she does amazing work. There is not a lawyer I could imagine that would positively affect me more than Mrs. Virk has. She is wonderful and I unequivocally recommend her to anyone in need of a compassionate divorce lawyer. Like I said in my first review, she is a warrior.

Wonderful and Efficient support

I would recommend Rachel Virk’s firm in a heartbeat! She and Anita Ault are a power team! Not only are they efficient and straight to the matters, they are also excellent listeners, emphatic and proactive. They made the divorce process so simple. They led me each step of the way and always provided ...proactive updates. Amazing! SJ

Family lawyer | Mar 18

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"My colleague Rachel Virk is my go-to referral for Family Mediation, and litigation if I cannot take the case due to a conflict or other issue. She has the right balance of negotiation skills to “Work it Out,” and aggressive and detailed litigation skills to “Fight it Out.” She has a way of treating each of her clients as if they are her only client. Rachel has also authored a book on divorce that is a very helpful resource. I highly recommend Rachel Virk for her work since 1989 throughout Northern Virginia in Family Law."
