James Devita

Mr. DeVita did not spend time working on my case. He charged two hours for his commute from his Arlington address to the court in Fairfax county which is not at all legal service. He has not versed in my case situation. He charged me for the retaining fees then messed up with other party attorney ...causing more turns of the case and more unnecessary legal fees. In a month before the court day, he unilaterally withdraw from the case. It not only wasted my paid attorney fees and travel to his office for answering discovery questions but also left me without any other legal remedies. Please stay away from him!

I asked Mr. DeVita for assistance with a business problem I had in dealing with another individual who was misrepresenting my actions. He spent a long time talking with me and reviewing my situation, and then he was willing to pursue the matter to its completion. I was very pleased with the outcome. ...I would absolutely use him again and I have referred him to others. I talked with him about another legal problem I had that was outside of his area of expertise and he referred me to another competent attorney. So I was pleased in all ways each time I talked with him.

I hired and was officially retained by Mr. James Devita (www.devitalaw.com last year as a Family lawyer. He was extremely confident in my case at first and sent out a financial demand letter to the defendants in our case. However, once the defendants hired their own lawyer, I realize James Devita had... not done the appropriate research required for my case and when he decided that my case wasn't a 'done deal monetarily speaking', he dropped me immediately. In addition, he rarely returned my calls and sometimes when he did call my number, he was confused as to whom he was calling.... this was my expereince, but before hiring him as your personal lawyer, please do your research.
