Metody A Tilev

I am surprised to see so many positive reviews for this lawyer. I consulted him on what should have been a simple custody agreement, and decided to hire him only after he pushed me to go forward with legal proceedings based on his ignorance/misrepresentation of DC law. When I discovered this he told ...me he was not an expert on the laws in question and I should have consulted with someone else to verify his claims. (Mind you, he had repeatedly told me that I was "in trouble" with the case based on the legal non-issue in question.) His abrupt approach to my ex alienated and frightened her (though again, he denied any responsibility) and resulted in costly mediation which resolved nothing. I honestly feel like I was taken to the cleaners.

My divorce case was complicated by a volatile ex and her nasty lawyer. Metody was a great strategist throughout the case, keeping us focused on the important issue (the children) and not stooping to their nasty level of dirty tricks. He was savvy, experienced, and calming. His advice was very good, h...is demeanor was consistently professional, and the outcome was great for my case.

I went through a custody evaluation and trial for contested custody. While this was difficult, it was invaluable to have good representation during the eight month process. Metody advised me during the time, sought to understand my concerns, advocated on my behalf, and explained my options to me to a...llow me to make well informed decisions. Metody is honest, has integrity, and decades of experience. The court awarded exactly what I requested.

My divorce was complicated because my former spouse is in another state and did not participate in any of the proceeding. I had many questions (especially around custody and child support). Metody was extremely helpful in answering my questions, often explaining several scenarios/options that I could... pursue and the benefit or risk of each option. The process took quite a but longer than I had anticipated, but Metody worked through some of the difficulties that arose with determination and what I believe were with my best interests in mind.

I had a very difficult child custody case/separation where the other parent fought EVERYTHING. Metody quickly understood my personality and worked well with me. He was blunt and to the point, which I found to be a good thing. I also appreciated the fact that he understood my dire financial situation ...and did not waste my money on extraneous unnecessary things. Overall, Metody was an honorable man who helped me gain full legal and physical custody of my child .
