Besianne - The Best of the Best

Ms. Maiden was an absolute godsend during my divorce. After a really frustrating experience with my previous attorney, I was honestly overwhelmed and unsure who to trust. I met with many attorneys in the Hampton Roads area, and I knew right away she was THE ONE. She not only genuinely cares, she t...ruly knows what she’s doing. Her experience and confidence were obvious from day one, and she handled everything with clarity, strategy, and precision. I never felt like just another case. She took the time to understand me, made me feel supported, and stepped in to clean up a mess without missing a beat. She fought for me in a way I truly don’t think anyone else would have. I can’t imagine getting through this without her. Working with her was life changing. I’m so grateful for everything she did for me and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. She is the real deal… exceptional at what she does and someone you absolutely want in your corner!

AMAZING!!!

Working with Besianne was step above the normal with seeking legal counsel. Mrs. Maiden is professional, honest, determined and simply put amazing! From our first encounter she gave facts and conversed with me as a human and made me feel comfortable and secure in her determination to fight for me and... my family. Mrs. Maiden provided a level of respect and honesty that I've never encountered before. She not only informed me but educated me on my rights, options and her mastermind of a plan to win my case using the simple truth. I appreciate her desire, passion and respect for the law and mostly her will to win. Besianne is no longer considered just my legal counsel but a friend that will only continue to build on honesty and trust through every communication. Her office is organized and very tactful in keeping you updated with new information that may become available and will certainly welcome you with open arms. Besianne carries her passion on her shoulders and walks with confidence.

The Ten could only win

Thinking of Mrs. Maiden all that comes to me is "WHAT A POWERHOUSE". She has two sides to her one is this out of the world sense of humor and the other side is her professional lawyer side. She is a straight shooter and holds nothing back. Up front and make sure you understand what is going on with y...our case. She shows you that you are represented by her. I was blessed to have had Mrs. Maiden as the person to represent my family. It was a pleasure to see her use her profession and humor just at the right time. May GOD continue to BLESS YOU THE BLESSED 10

Amazing!!

Bes has been an amazing lawyer during my custody case. She has taken so much time to make sure I understand everything, help me through all my anxieties, and empower me. She truly cares about my case and seeing that I am not taken advantage of. She's very understanding, honest, and sensible. She is a... clear communicator and I have had no problems in reaching her when I need to talk to her. She has also been very fair in her pricing. I love Bes!!!

Dissatified to this day...

I hired Ms. Maiden to represent me in a bitter divorce and child custody case. Her services were not worth the over $7,500 in fees charged nor the constant stress I endure to this day. She was difficult to reach, painfully slow to respond, often demanded additional payments for what appeared to b...e little or no work by her and her staff, and miscommunicated a court appearance date that could have resulted in a warrant for my arrest (she knew I was out of town for work on that date). To this day, I owe an exorbitant spouse support amount, have no contact with my child, an my ex-spouse has sufficiently poisoned my relationship with my brothers. My ex-spouse claimed fraudulent arrears for expenses that Ms. Maiden never reviewed nor had an interest in reviewing and adjudicating. I was more than happy to throw away the free coffee cup with her law firm's logo that she gave to me.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Ms. Maiden on several matters where I was a Guardian Ad Litem. My experience with Ms. Maiden is she is always concerned for her client's best interest. Ms. Maiden is conscientious in her responsibilities to her clients and to the Court. I have also had Ms. Maiden on the opposite side of the case. She is easy to work with and always professional, but a formidable opponent. I have a great deal of respect for her and learn something from her each time I have a case with her."
