Brian Mitchell Hirsch

Brian is very experienced and knowledgeable about property and custody agreements and has great "desk side" manner. I found him to be compassionate to my situation involving a very difficult ex and that he worked always to appropriately emphasize the well-being of my children. He was friendly yet f...irm with opposing counsel in terms of standing up for my and my kids' rights. The whole process took longer and more money than I wanted, but that was far more because of my ex than anything under Brian's control. Brian was in fact good at advising me when expending energy and money to take legal actions would or would not be "worth it."

Mr Hirsch was one a several lawyers I interviewed when I was getting divorced. I chose him because of his talent and ability to do "deep listening" quickly and efficiently. He knew what was and what was not going to be important and he was honest and forthright about expectations and outcome. Wh...en I was unexpectedly pulled back into court last year, he and his staff were kind enough to accommodate an unexpected visit to his office of a van full of kids. Being an Emergency Medicine physician, I appreciated his ability to keep me informed, to keep me calm and to show me my blind spots in strategy. My ex-husband hid my son who was scheduled to testify the day of the trial. Brian anticipated this and the day of trial, he kept everything moving, sent someone to find my son and had the judge force my ex-husband to allow my child to be transported to court. We won and were given closure thanks to Brian's experience and knowledge of not just the law but of the tactics and personalities of the many different judges and attorneys he has interacted with during his career. In addition to his excellent service, his bill was more than reasonable and he was generously patient with my repayment plan. Unlike other lawyers, he did not exploit my moment of crisis and vulnerability and I am so grateful to him for that.

I highly recommend Mr. Brian Hirsch. He handled my divorce and recent subsequent update activity. After I'd gone rounds with my ex who'd hired one of the most unprofessional attorney's in the area and was running up the tab for no reason, I hired Mr. Hirsch and he put a stop to it. I quickly reali...zed his reputation in NOVA is first rate. My ex's attorney took a much more professional tone from that point forward and most of the nonsense stopped. We eventually settled prior to wasting senseless amounts of money in court. Mr. Hirsch will give you the facts straight even though you may not like to hear it. If you listen to him, he won't allow you to waste money chasing a outcome that is unrealistic. He was so professional that when my ex and I had to update our custody agreement 5 yrs later, she trusted him to do the updates for us (as I was his client) and we worked everything through him. I will definitely go back to him for any subsequent family related civil matter.

Spent 11K with these people and ended up negotiating most of the separation agreement and visitation on my own. They recommended so much litigation that never led to any results. At the end they delayed filing my divorce for nearly a months, after waiting over a year, because I owed them $700 that ha...d not been paid yet, when over ten thousand had been paid. TERRIBLE people.
