Rachel Lewis Virk

During our initial consultation , Rachel took the time to listen and review, and while I wasnt at all prepared for what she would reveal to me, had i not, I may have still been in a marriage with my abuser. Having been a Divorce attorney for many years, Rachel has seen and heard it all! She was pati...ent, and understanding of my readiness to pull the trigger! She walked me thru the steps I needed to win and ultimately put this chapter behind me. She is blunt, yet professional and knowledgeable of the laws and system. Rachel's paralegal Anita, is also extremely helpful. There were multiple times where I would contact them in the evenings or weekends , yet always received a timely response. Divorce can be a long and painful process, yet these two made it smooth and stress free. I am forever grateful for all of their support! Hopefully I wont need them in the future, but would definitely refer them to someone who does :)

I have been struggling for over a half a decade to obtain expanded parental rights and visitation with my child as the non-custodial parent. In that time I’ve spoken to almost a dozen lawyers and worked with two. Sadly, to no avail. Then I found Rachel! In one consultation with her I knew immedia...tely that she was the one. I did a little more research and discovered she was rated #1 attorney in Loudoun (and one of the top lawyers in the state of Virginia) and now I know why. Rachel is outstanding! I’ve been working with her for 6 months on my case and I have so many positive things to say about my experience but I’ll keep it short for this review. As a subject matter expert Rachel helped me navigate through the complex legal process of child custody and visitation. She went above and beyond in helping me prepare for this trial and when the day finally came and we had to go to court she commanded that court room like it was hers. I was absolutely blown away by her execution. We made a compelling case and not only did the judge approve pretty much everything I was asking for in the proposed custody & visitation order but even threw in some additional rights/provisions. I am 100% satisfied with Rachel and would highly recommend her to others. She is by far one of the smartest, most articulate, assertive, and knowledgeable attorneys you will find and I should also add that Rachel actually cares too and is passionate about helping her clients fight for their cause.

I came to Rachel via Legal Shield. And from day one, her office has been not only helpful but encouraging through this sensitive and potentially painful process. Fortunately for me, it was minimal pain and stress. I have already recommended a friend to her. Thanks, Rachel and Anita for your assistan...ce with my divorce.
