Brian Mitchell Hirsch

Brian Hirsch represented me in the matter of a Spousal Support Modification case. After retiring from the military and then retiring a second time, my former spouse claimed he could no longer afford to make payments. Having had three sessions with a Mediator, we were regrettably unable to reach a set...tlement that was beneficial to us both. At this point, I needed to seek the services of an attorney. Within the first 10 minutes of my consultation with Brian, he asked me why I had decided to acquire his service, because his fees were higher than the attorney I initially consulted. At that point I simply stated, “I WANT SOMEONE TO FIGHT FOR ME.” Brian did just that. He captured the essence of my case immediately and that gave me a sense of relief and confidence in him. I was very impressed that Brian began to work on my case so quickly. There were voluminous amounts of questions and paperwork almost weekly leading up to the deposition. At one point I became truly frustrated with the type and amount of documents I was required to provide to opposing counsel since it was unknown to me if he would be requesting similar documents from them. One call to the office and I was reassured with these words “WE HAVE OUR CASE, THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE THEIRS’’ The results of the trial: Motion to Terminate was denied and no modification to support was granted. Plus, attorney’s fees were awarded to me. This indeed was a truly amazing win. I believe that he, being from a military family himself, had a greater understanding and appreciation of the nuances surrounding my case and lifestyle. And finally, if I were to describe Brian Hirsch using three attributes, I would say that he is brilliant, trustworthy and HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU.

My case involved my ex stopping spousal support suddenly without going through the court and suing me to stop it altogether. Brian immediately took actions. He is calm and low-key and i am nervous and high strung. i wanted more face time, but things worked out well and Brian actually kept my costs do...wn. He refused to lower himself to the dirty tricks the other side tried. He was honest with me about the pros and cons for each side and he was supportive. He made me fell like I was in good hands. He did a great job of letting the ex hang himself. Things worked out well for me.

Mr. Hirsch’s recognition as one of the top divorce attorneys in Virginia is well-deserved. He skillfully and patiently guided me from separation, through negotiated property and support agreements, to an eventual cessation of support upon retirement. He and his able staff are efficient, his fee...s are reasonable, and he provides advice and counsel with wisdom, a calming demeanor and a pleasant sense of humor. Brian’s familiarity with the courts, opposing counsel and current developments in family law contributed to his ability to effectively and efficiently help me navigate an unfamiliar and unpleasant landscape. These skills enabled us to avoid active litigation (and associated fees and costs) as he skillfully negotiated each issue to a mutually agreeable resolution. I am confident, however, that he would have been equally effective in the courtroom had it become necessary. As a fellow attorney, I am not an “easy grader” on such matters. Brian Hirsch earned an A+.
