Estate planning
I was referred by a friend to attorney Aubrey Sizer to assist me with preparing a will. I contacted the office and set up consultation. Once I talked to attorney Sizer I felt very comfortable into going forward with her firm to assist me. She was very knowledgeable, explained the benefits of estate planning. Gathered all the information she needed from me, and did an excellent job preparing my estate plan. I would highly recommend her services. GW

EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE!
I have had the distinct pleasure to be represented by Aubrey Carew Sizer over the past 4 years in a very stressful family matter involving an elder parent. This situation could have been a lot more stressful and messier if not for Aubrey. Her counsel was always sound and services were always professional. Aubrey, without question, is the best lawyer in Northern Virginia with respect to estate planning, elder law and estate administration, in my humble opinion. I strongly recommend her services.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY
Attorney Aubrey Carew Sizer was referred to me for my estate planning needs. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable, but she was so caring and helped educate me through the entire process. She assisted me with making my own informed decisions in regards to my estate plans. She has such a warm, friendly and welcoming personality, that it made this process so much easier for me. She also provided me with clarification on needed on certain topics, and provided me literature and letters to assist with finalizing my estate plans. In addition, she worked with me to help me save money and ensured that I had a sound estate plan in the end, and made adjustments were needed. I am extremely satisfied, and HIGHLY reccommended her services.

Tentant/Landlord Legal Knowledge
My husband and I hired Aubrey to help us navigate the legal aspect of ending our town home lease early (due to rodent infestation) Her knowledge of tenant/landlord law and her prompt, and informative consultation was invaluable when it came to ending our lease quickly and without incurring unreasonable fees or charges from our landlord. Aubrey was professional, thorough in her research and full of integrity. I would highly recommend her services and definitely look forward to working with her in the future!

Client
I told Aubrey that I wanted to disinherit a family member and she told me that it was possible to do so. After I paid a very expensive engagement fee she said it was not possible to disinherit the family member. I believe Aubrey intentionally misled me out of thousands of dollars and showed no concern that she told me something that turned out to be untrue.

Response from Aubrey Sizer April 7, 2021
I am disappointed and surprised by this review. However, a lawyer’s duty to keep client confidences has few exceptions and in an abundance of caution, I do not feel at liberty to respond in a point-by-point fashion in this forum. Suffice it to say that I do not believe that this post presents a fair and accurate picture of the events. My reputation and integrity are of the utmost importance to me and I have not and would not intentionally mislead anyone. In all of my engagements, I work hard to provide competent, compassionate, caring, and efficient representation. Part of doing that is providing frank counseling regarding not only what is permissible in any given matter but also what outcomes are likely given the facts presented. I believe that my prior cases and client feedback show that I am fully dedicated to providing all of my clients with excellent and effective representation.
