Excellent Lawyer

I hired Ms. Messman a few years ago for my divorce/custody after spending 5 years with another law firm & wasting thousands of dollars to get nowhere. Ms. Messman got my divorce finalized and sole custody of my children in less than a year & only charged me a couple of thousand dollars. The other law... firm drug their feet and charged me $60,000 grand over a 5 year period. I'm so glad I found Ms. Messman.

Excellent Attorney

Attorney Mykell Messman was recommended by two of my friends, that had been her client, and I am so thankful she is representing me in the divorce my husband filed. Ms. Messmans experience with divorce involving military spouses and her professional knowledge of the Virginia Beach courts has made me... appreciate how she has advised me and the results. I highly recommend Ms. Messman and her initial review phone call was complimentary. If you want the best divorce representation in Virginia Beach you should consider Ms. Mykell Messman.

Mykell Messman is amazing. I originally started with another lawyer and was getting nowhere. Messman was highly recommended to me by several sheriff deputies who had seen her in action. She is brutally honest which I respected. She didnt try to make me spend my hard earned money in areas that werent ...unnecessary. I was going through an extremely difficult divorce with a sociopath. Custody, child support and harassment were huge issues I had been dealing with. Messman resolved everything and was able to negotiate EVERYTHING I wanted in one single mediation. She does not play around and sees right through the B.S.. We were able to completely avoid going to court and paying tens of thousands because of her skills. Messman was a bit more expensive than my previous attorney but you get what you pay for. Don’t make the mistake of paying less because you will get less in return. Thank you Mykell for everything you did. I feel the weight of the world has been lifted off of me. Thank you for keeping me and my child’s best interest in mind.

Pathetic

By far the worst attorney I have ever worked with in my life! Have filed complaints to the bar. Lost all but 4 days of custody for two daughters combined! Have been waiting to receive final decree for over a month after being filed! Never returns calls or emails. Always too busy to meet.

DIVORCE - MADE SMOOTH AND SIMPLE

After 31 years in a marriage to the love of my life, I found myself on the door step of Messman Law seeking counsel, guidance and direction on how to proceed with a legal separation and ultimate divorce that my spouse desired. The Messman Law Firm (referred to by a co-worker) provided the initial cou...nsel to provide expectations going forward, and I hired them on the spot primarily. Ms. Mykell Messman not only made me feel comfortable with the road ahead, but I realized that I was in good hands. Ms. Messman is so patient and thoughtful I often felt like I was her only client. After hiring this firm to work my legal separation, it did not take long decided that after the State’s mandatory statute wait time; I hired them to take on the work to complete my divorce. Mykell is exceptional, and her team is highly proficient and extremely meticulous. The Law Firm provided responsive, courteous service during in person visits, phone calls, emails, and yes even text messages of my inquiry about the status of the process along the way. Mykell provided superb one-on-one counsel and guidance which ultimately made my unfortunate divorce process an experience that was an absolutely smooth and simple. Thank you Mykell and the Messman Law Firm Team for all of the help and assistance you provided during one of the most difficult and obscurest times of my life.
