Incompetence & Delays Ruined My Case

I hired Attorney Baker to represent me in my high-conflict divorce, expecting a competent and proactive attorney. Instead, I was met with delays, poor communication, and a lack of urgency that had serious consequences for me and my child. Due to Attorney Baker’s failure to file time-sensitive moti...ons, my child was allowed to relocate out of state before proper custody arrangements were in place, making an already difficult situation even worse. Additionally, his delays and lack of preparation led to my request for temporary support being denied, leaving me financially strained during a crucial time. Despite my ex-husband’s clear attempts to evade financial responsibility, my attorney failed to push back or fight for what was legally mine. Divorce is hard enough without having to battle your own lawyer’s incompetence. I ultimately had to seek better representation, but the damage had already been done. If you are in a high-conflict divorce and need a lawyer who will fight for you, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

Best Lawyer for my Military Divorce

I am so pleased with the service offered by Joseph and the Virga Law team for my military divorce. I was so stressed about what to expect in the process, but Joseph and his team did a great job of keeping me informed of what to expect and did well in streamlining the process. Joseph was kind, compass...ionate, direct and was literally the kind of lawyer I wanted and needed to get me through this process. Thank you for your service, Joseph!

Professional & Affordable

Ok. Soooo I stumbled upon this law firm by googling "Best Law Firms" and Oh, am I glad I did! Mr. Baker was very thorough, patient and super professional. He was able to answer ANY and all questions that I threw at him. I started the process of an annulment on the 13th of April and it was finalize...d on the 26th of May! You're talking about Happy? That was me that day! I was expecting delays (because of the situation) but God did it and The Virga Law Firm put it to play! I HIGHLY recommended this firm 100%!!!

Divorce and separation lawyer | May 04

Relationship: Co-worker

"Having worked with Joseph in the Virga Law Firm's Orlando office from the Summer of 2018 until January of 2020, I can wholeheartedly endorse this attorney. Joseph is knowledgeable, experienced, and fights zealously for his clients - often working late, accepting calls after hours, or working on the weekend. He cares about his clients and their cases, and has invaluable court room experience in front of a large number of judges in the Orange and surrounding county areas. He is a valued member of our team, and constantly impresses us with his knowledge and information."
