Jill Roseland Costen

I hired Jill to handle my divorce and custody case. That was over one year ago and she has done nothing to help my case. In fact, she has done quite the opposite by putting me in such a difficult financial position by racking up unnecessary fees despite my efforts to mitigate costs and seek resolutio...n with my husband. If it doesn't make her money, she isn't going to do it. I would NOT recommend her services at all. She never operates with a sense of urgency, doesn't attempt to control costs, moves at whatever pace is convenient for her and is difficult to get any direct answers from. Aside from that, she has very unprofessional debt collection tactics.

. Regretfully, Jill Harris Costen was my lawyer for 2 and a half years and could not finalize my divorce. The divorce was Not even a difficult divorce: no assets, children, or property. She will turn the file, bill you a fortune for nothing in return. Fired her and hired a new attorney and was divorc...ed in 3 weeks. She is exactly what gives lawyers a bad name. STAY AWAY!!!

Jill was my attorney for my divorce and custody case. While my ex’s attorney seemed to try and drag things out , Jill was eager to settle my case so I could move on with my life. Now that I am divorced and on somewhat good terms with my ex, I realized my ex paid her attorney more than double the fees... I paid . Jill was not only very knowledgeable in all aspects of the law, she was compassionate and caring . I have recommended Jill to several of my friends and business associates.

Ms. Harris is a top notch family lawyer and I highly recommend her. I hired Ms. Harris after working with another divorce lawyer in Virginia Beach who was happy to take my retainer and do as little work on my case as possible. In contrast, Ms. Harris was a top-notch communicator, keeping me in th...e loop on everything relevant to my case. Ms. Harris treated me as if I was her only client, always making herself available for whatever I needed. Ms. Harris's work impressed me on multiple levels. She had an uncanny sense of compassion and understanding towards my case. It was obviously an extremely stressful time in my life, but Ms. Harris was able to calmly and effectively help me make the best decisions for my future. She was supremely responsive via phone/email and I never felt out of the loop with regards to the legal processes that were occurring throughout the divorce. Ms. Harris possesses an excellent balance between professionalism and compassion and I would recommend her without hesitation. Her rates are extremely fair, especially given her expertise and knowledge. I would not hesitate to hire Ms. Harris again for any future legal needs in the family law realm. She's the best family lawyer in Virginia Beach.
