George Webb Dodge

I've had some experiences with George that are downright scary. Before making accusations about someone's motives or character, he should really first know what he's talking about. He comes across as a person who assumes the worst of people who are already in tough situations. Additionally he comes a...cross as being mentally burned out and thus abusive. Very often when given authority, people like him mistreat innocent people because he knows no one who is 'important' will find out.

Our family lives in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. A dear friend of mine whom lives in Stafford recommended that I contact George Dodge because we live hours away. We have been very grateful for that advice. Our dear son lived in Reston and did not survive his persistent, determined, and brave ...battle against his abrupt bout of cancer. He was only 29, he was a terrific role model for his siblings, and all of his hard work was paying off. It was upon his death that I received a call from a friend giving me George's number, telling me that he had respected George for decades and thought hiring a good lawyer in northern Virginia may help life be a little more managable. I called and met with George, he was not only professional, but very compassionate. At the worst of times I was able to put my trust in George Dodge and I must say he handled our son Terence's estate better than I ever could of expected, from accompanying me to the safety deposit at our son's bank, to the sale of his house at market value in a very short, reasonable amount of time. I have been kept very informed, asked my opinions from a very kind and competent attorney. I generally don't recommend people, however I highly recommend George Dodge.

In the context of a consultation regarding the estate of a family friend, Mr. Dodge gave me excellent, accurate and timely advice. Specifically, I had acquired a videotape will from this friend, and needed to introduce it to the legal system so that it could be enacted. I sent the original tape to M...r. Dodge, whom I knew to be an expert in matters of Probate, Wills, and the like. Mr. Dodge reviewed the tape and then provided me with prompt and helpful advice about the impact of Virginia State Laws regarding videotaped wills. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone, anywhere, anytime about any matter related to Wills, Probate, Elder Law, and related matters. He is a superb attorney, as honest and reliable and decent as any person I've had the pleasure to know.

We found George to be oblivious to our case even though he kept asking for information which he never used. The case went to trial and he took 3 days what should have taken a few hours. In court he kept stalling and wasn't able to come up with questions as the judge kept pushing him to spit them ou...t. It was painful to watch. Wish we had changed lawyers.
