Caitlyn Stubbs Excellent; Beyond Expectations Divorce Atty!

YOU want this AMAZING atty. In 2017, she represented my son in a divorce case with a narcissist…difficult to deal with, but Ms.Stubbs listened to the issues, answered all my son’s concerns, thorough in her approach to helping him understand all his options, returned calls in a timely manner, kept him... updated with all aspects of court procedures. She showed her expertise in her strategy with her line of questioning, showing inconsistencies with his wife’s testimony, thus, proving the false statements she made to the court. Ms.Stubbs won my son’s case and, as well, no Alimony. We are now referring her to one of our best friends because Ms. Stubbs is THAT GREAT.

Run… incompetence runneth over…

If I could rate a lesser rating, I would. What an absolute loser…. This woman has absolutely zero clue which way is up or down. Her office repeatedly ignores customers calls and talks down to clients. She makes up her own facts, yet never researches the law, or checks even a/her loser moral compass. ...The epitome of a scum bag…. Bottom of her law class for sure. What a turd. I guess there is a reason why she/it chose divorce law. The makings of a true scum bag...

Choked during trial

I hired her to represent me although I believe she is a good person I wouldn’t recommend her. During trial she became choked up and unable to gather thoughts regarding questioning while I her client was on the stand. She kept apologizing and it was highly unusual situation and somewhat uncomfortable ...and embarrassing. I’m unsure if she was having a bad day or didn’t prep appropriately. Both I and the Judge seemed annoyed by this. Although she was stern with lies while examining opposing she didn’t push.

Knowledgeable, Experienced, & Attentive

Navigating the complexities of divorce, particularly when children are involved, can be very challenging. Having a knowledgeable, experienced, and attentive attorney is absolutely essential. After working with Caitlyn Stubbs for over a year on several different matters, I can say with absolute certai...nty that she exemplifies all of these qualities. Ms. Stubbs is the fourth attorney that I have worked with since my marital separation in 2010 and subsequent divorce. While the other lawyers were knowledgeable, experienced, and varying degrees of what I would consider “effective”, I found them all to be lacking in terms of their attentiveness. Each of them delivered on the legal mechanics of the issue at hand but did not give me confidence that they truly understood, or cared to understand, the situation. My interactions with them often left me feeling as though I had to re-explain and re-articulate details or otherwise coach them toward what I considered to be the right outcome. Ms. Stubbs was laser-focused on the legal issues as well as my specific concerns. In contrast to my prior attorneys, she took the time to fully understand the nuances and intricacies of the situation. I first hired her in early 2017 for help with a support-related matter. I was impressed by her approach and happy with the result, so when I was faced with an unexpected emergency custody matter a few months later, she was the obvious choice for legal representation. The custody situation, which at the time I am writing this review is drawing to a favorable close, has been very complex and personally very challenging. At every turn and with every obstacle, Ms. Stubbs provided critical guidance, responded quickly and comprehensively to my questions, and demonstrated a sincere commitment to a positive outcome for me and my children. My experience with Ms. Stubbs, and the Livesay & Myers team overall, has been fantastic. If you are in need of a family law attorney in the Fredericksburg, VA area, I would highly recommend Caitlyn Stubbs.
