Sara Leiner Schuler

The divorce process in Virginia can be complex and frustrating. That's why I'm glad I found Ms. Schuler. She is well-informed, thoughtful and bright, She quickly responded to my inquiries by email or phone and kept me informed throughout the process. Although my divorce was amicable, Ms. Schuler made... sure I understood the relevant laws and how they might affect my choices in the proceedings. She is not someone who is easily intimidated -- she is a true advocate for her client

I reside in California and filed divorce case in Virginia where other party resides. Handled efficiently and kept me informed regarding other parties issues. Knowledgeable and provided information to assist in my decision making. Responded to questions in timely fashion, personable and easy to tal...k to.

Mrs. Schuler is an excellent attorney who wins her cases. She has a deep knowledge of the Arlington County court system and helped me through and successfully ended and won my extremely difficult divorce case. After winning numerous legal complaints 100% from the opposition, Mrs. Schuler was able to... push through the divorce in a creative and swift way after much contention. The Judge was literally happy to sign my decree for divorce at the end thanks to Mrs. Schuler's efforts. I recommend her absolutely for anyone considering separation or divorce in Arlington County, VA. You can't go wrong!

Besides lacking courtesy, her advice is questionable at best and her responsiveness is non-existence. For example, she failed to inform me of the outcome of a significant hearing in my case for several months , and then only after I persisted. I was never able to establish any rapport and did not lik...e her manner at all. She often made unilateral decisions without consulting or informing me. I did not get the feeling she was very interested in my case or in law in general for that matter but was simply going through the motions until she could pawn me off on the new guy in the firm. I had the impression she didn't spend much time on my case, or that she had a solid understanding of the issues and a firm grounding in the field. She then pawned me off on another guy who I also reviewed on here (probably to harshly considering he did very little of the work on my case). Maybe it was a bad fit with him, a high powered corporate litigator doing family law stuff, which would be as much his current firm's fault as his. In any case, if you are looking for a responsive, collaborative, and 'empathetic' attorney with any follow through; beware, This attorney is not the attorney for you.
