Child visitation

Attorney Stratton got the job done, and our case went the way we wanted it to go. This was a very clean, open-shut child visitation agreement case. He was easy to hire, had a pleasant attitude, and got the issue resolved. However, the reason I can't rate five stars is because trying to get in contact... with him in between court dates was almost impossible. At one point, it actually took him an entire month to return my phone calls, and by the time I spoke to him again, it was too close to the court date for the information to make a difference. I even tried to communicate through texts but that didn't effect the timeliness of our correspondence. He is a very difficult person to get ahold of. For our last court appearance in October, he was actually late. We had agreed to meet at the court house at 10:15AM, but he didn't show until almost 11:15AM. Thankfully the judge waited so we didn't have to reschedule, but the anxiety of my lawyer running late for court was overwhelming. Attorney Stratton seems to have too much on his plate at all times, so if you're a client who likes weekly updates or check-ins regarding the status of your case, or even just being able to get in touch with your lawyer without any issues, then he is not the lawyer for you. Our case ended two months ago and I'm still trying to get in contact with him and his office to receive a final bill so I know if I owe him more money or if there was money left from the retainer fee that he owes to me. I wish I could give him 5 stars but the lack of communication from the time I hired him in June until now in December has made what should have been a simple court issue into a long, drawn out process of anxiously waiting.

Reckless Driving Ticket

I was in an hydroplaning accident that totaled my vehicle. Was going below the speed limit due to the weather and hydroplaned into oncoming traffic. Montgomery county charged me with reckless driving. Alan worked the judge down to dismiss the charge with 6 months probation. He's the real deal and wil...l help you out. Thanks AJS Law.

Excellent service and outcome.

Mr. Stratton was not only supremely knowledgeable with respect to the law, he also was personally approachable and helpful in explaining the various nuances of the case. His ongoing professional relationships with Commonwealth's attorneys assisted in bringing the case to a speedy and just resolutio...n. When a not previously discussed situation arose, Mr. Stratton quickly strategized a new plan and successfully presented this to the Commonwealth which quickly accepted it. I was completely satisfied and very grateful for his representation and would recommend Mr. Stratton without reservation.

Scared me into signing paperthat I shouldn't have signed. So far i have no visitation because of him and a 2 year restraining

Wish i had never seen this man. And i really think he should be band from the courts.. When he seen the opposing lawer he was like a seal in a curious. I fired hin the next day and he still came to the next court case.

Has two offices, great law firm

I found out they have two office, one in Radford, and one in Wytheville, Va. There is more than one attorney working at the AJS Law. They handle many different cases, talk you through it, and get best results with reasonable prices. Highly recommend.
