Highly skilled and great at communicating

I seeked out her services years ago for a custody case with my ex. She not only won but she was an incredible advocate for my children! I was beyond happy with her knowledge, skills and compassion. I was so happy with her skills, that I recommend her to my wife for her custody issues as well. Low a...nd behold she won that also! Hands down one of best experiences with an attorney that I have ever had. I truly would recommend her to anyone!

Great job on my highly unusual and complicated case....

Ms. Wessel took on my very unusual and complicated domestic case when my previous council bowed out as they said it was outside of their expertise and would end up being too expensive to continue. Ms. Wessel always kept me informed and explained things thoroughly. She knows the ins and outs of the... courthouse and definitely kept me at ease throughout the entire process. Not only were the other attorney's in the courtroom impressed with how Ms. Wessel handled the court proceedings and argued my case but both my father and brother, who practice family law in Virginia, were pleased with the outcome and how well she had a handle on everything. I am very grateful for the work Ms. Wessel did for me and would absolutely use her again should the need arise.
