NORTHERN VIRGINIA’S Family
Law Firm

I was going through a separation when I obtained Matthew Smith, at Livesay & Myers, as my legal representative. It was truly a difficult time for me. Matt was patient, understanding, and helpful with my case. I am proud and thankful that he was on my side. I had never seen so much dedication, great rapport, impeccable work, and professionalism. Also, his paralegal assistant, Kim, was always there with kindness and a helping hand whenever I needed it during my case. I can’t thank Matt and Kim at Livesay & Myers enough. I would definitely recommend Matthew Smith and Livesay & Myers to anyone in need of legal assistance in a divorce.

It is difficult to explain how it feels having to go through the legal process to fight to see your kids. My husband and I were dealing with his high conflict ex who made every single day challenging and hard for us. You will never know how an attorney can impact your life. Every stressful step of the way Jamel Rowe led and guided us with our best interest at heart with such kindness and patience, never judging us. She maintained professionalism and though she did not judge anyone, you still knew for sure she was on our side. She was always available and that played such a huge part in making sure we went about everything the right way. Jamel went above and beyond what we ever expected the outcome would look like and we will be thanking her for a very long time. Our lives have changed drastically because of the successful outcome Jamel achieved for us. Jamel and her team will always be in our happy thoughts.

Livesay & Myers is an excellent law firm. Professional, respectful, communicative from start to finish. My attorney, Ariel Baniowski, supported me and aggressively fought on my behalf, while also advising me and helping me stay grounded and realistic about what to expect. Her kindness and great listening skills made me feel cared for and heard at a very emotional and challenging time. I am very pleased with how my matter was resolved, and felt complete confidence in my attorney every step of the way. If I need legal services again in the future, I will certainly reach out to Ariel and Livesay & Myers.

I cannot praise Livesay and Myers, P.C. enough. I engaged the firm to handle my separation and divorce. (This was after parting ways with another law firm because I did not feel satisfied with their service.) Jamel Rowe and her paralegal, both of whom I worked with for several months, are the consummate professionals. Drafts of documents and filings were flawless. Communication was always not only timely, but also very pleasant, even in tense situations with tight timeframes. I could tell that Ms. Rowe put a major effort into reviewing a mountain of case data because she had immediate recall of specific facts and their relevance. Most impressive was Ms. Rowe’s handling of the case during the trial: she had command of the facts and used them effectively; she presented a clear case, emphasizing precisely what I had suggested; and the judge openly praised her ‘accurate and appropriate’ use of the property distribution forms. My recommendation: definitely talk to them about your needs.

I have been so pleased with the services provided by my attorney Sarah Haight and my paralegal Tatyana Spurgeon during a difficult time. Working together they made my experience clean and effective. Meeting Tatyana was always a pleasure, she has the right spirit for her job, helps you to feel special and important during a time when you need it most. Sarah made sure my process kept moving without unnecessary delays. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!
