Not focused and attentive to clients best interests

This lawyer always seemed distracted with other matters. Do not expect empathy. Child custody and divorce matters were already decided before I entered the court room. One phrase I would love to have heard from her- “ material change in circumstance” “ We need to get this right, now” I’m living co ...parent hell after the case was closed, In Virginia you don’t go back to court because you’re a good father and simply ask to be in a child’s life more. MATERIAL CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCE. Look it up, she won’t mention it in her scripted intake meeting. She gets paid, father live with it for years. If there was an option for zero stars, that would be my rating. If I could redo, I would hire someone else.

Did not care at all

Sitzler had already made up her mind about my case before meeting me or talking to my children. She sided with my ex husband and talked to me like I was stupid. She was unkind, rude, and dismissive. She knew nothing about mental health problems in children and didn't care to learn.

Best attorney in Bedford

Rowe and Sitzler is a great law office to work with! Emily has helped me on several different issues, including a very difficult divorce, and she has always done an outstanding job. I have referred several people to both Emily and Don and have always had positive feedback from anyone I have sent thei...r way.
