VERY BAD LAWYER

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!

Rude, lacks compassion, and only trying to make a quick buck. Takes on cases he has no business working on and isn’t forthcoming on his experience; doesn’t even follow up with the correct parties for supporting documents. Gives good lawyers a bad name.

Experienced Attorney

Mr. DeVita represented me in traffic court and did an outstanding job. He provided great counsel and negotiated a favorable settlement. He is an experienced attorney and would recommend him.

JIM DEVITA'S REPRESENTATION ON TWO DOMESTIC CASES
