Robert Theodore Butler

Ted and his asssistant attorney Amanda P. Blair were amazing on a very challenging custody case. They consistently were approachable, wise and conscientious in their application of decisions for the case and we succeed greatly. Better than I could have imagined. We ended up moving and unfortunately have have had to go back to court and we have had other attorneys which has made me realize even more how great these two were and appreciated.

My divorce took almost 3 years and included such fun items as a retired National Guard officer who refused to work, sued for spousal support, refused to pay child support, had a significant problem with alcoholism, voluntarily unemployed himself to reduce child support payments, and who hired incompetent lawyers. Throughout it all, Mr. Butler was the epitome of calm, cool and collected. He held my hand when it was needed, was a shark in the court room, and got me what I needed in the divorce to ensure my children were taken care of and that I wasn’t taken advantage of. In a time of uncertainty and chaos that was my life after my ex-husband and I separated, Ted was the one stable person I had working on my side to make sure I didn't make any costly errors in judgment based on emotion instead of logic. His staff is top notch and worked together so that my costs were minimized…even when my ex-husband tried to do everything in his power to run up my legal bills. Ted has my undying gratitude for making a thoroughly awful time in my life bearable. If you need a divorce attorney who shows his (very, very sharp) teeth when required, and is extremely knowledgeable about the Stafford, VA court system and the divorce process – Ted Butler is definitely your man. If you would like to talk to me for a reference, I would be more than happy to do so. You can contact Ted's office and he can give you my contact information.

I have come to know several attorneys, but never met one more diligent and responsive to clients. Ted has a great reputation among all the local judges as well as among the lawyers who practice in and around Fredericksburg. If you have a family law issue or criminal matter and need representation, you could do no better than hiring Mr. Butler.
