Complicated Divorce

John offered great council while dealing with my divorce. The emotions from all sides can sway your thinking and approach. John was brilliant in knowing when to be aggressive but also when to show compassion. Realizing that all sides have a point of view and acknowledging that during the heat of n...egotiations was extremely valuable. My divorce was complicated with the other party using multiple opposing councils during the process to muddy the facts and to extend the cost. With every new attorney on the opposing side John was able to provide the detail and rational for the decisions that were made during mediation and finally in the court. John is extremely well versed in the law governing divorce while applying the practically to achieve positive outcomes. This approach saved thousands in fees while achieving a balanced outcome. One of the most difficult times of my life John was able to bring order to chaos and allow me to move on to a far better place. I was truly blessed in having John represent me along with his team.

Solid advocate

John cuts through the fog of what for many people can be a tragic time in their life. Not only representing his clients as a true advocate with solid legal counsel, but fighting for them.

FIVE STAR ATTORNEY

When life handed me the unexpected, I can honestly say I never realized initially how crucial selecting the right attorney would be. I would not be where I am today without an attorney like John Moss. His knowledge, expertise, and experience in practicing Virginia family law landed me the results my... kids and I deserved. I trusted John’s guidance. He managed my expectations above and beyond every step of the way and did so despite the emotional toll of the situation. I not only recommend attorney John Moss, but I guarantee once you have used his services you too will look no further. There is no other attorney that will work as hard for you. And most importantly, John Moss wins cases!

Horrible And Unproffesional

He would often forget key components of the case and need to reminded. On many occasions his strategy or knowledge of the law was the polar opposite of what he relayed to me in previous conversations. I would be told he was working on certain documents or points regarding my case that never came to... fruition or were finished. Many things that are standard protocol in VA divorce cases were not taken care of when Mr. Moss handled my case.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"John and I have been opposing counsel in a contentious divorce case. During this process, I have had the opportunity to observe John in court, at mediation, and during depositions. At each turn, he has represented his client’s best interest while maintaining a professional and cordial relationship, been responsive and efficient with his time, has shown incredible knowledgable about the Court, judges, and attorneys practicing in Stafford County, Virginia, and has helped craft creative solutions to his clients’ problems. I am happy to recommend him, and especially so in Stafford County."
