Fredericksburg-Stafford Family Lawyers

I recently had the opportunity to work with Ms. Lindsay Connolly (ESQ), Ms. Maggie Byers (ESQ) and Ms. Jennifer Ward (Paralegal) during a challenging time in my life, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their expertise and support. From our initial consultation, it was clear that the team was not only knowledgeable about family law but also genuinely cared about my well-being. Ms. Connolly’s experience with military divorces and the nuances embedded in the process reassured me that her team was the right choice for my divorce and gaining custody of my son. Throughout the process, Ms. Connolly’s team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and understanding of what I was going through. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answered all my questions, and provided clear guidance on what to expect. Their strategic approach and attention to detail made a significant difference in my case, leading to a favorable outcome that exceeded my expectations. What truly stood out was Ms. Connolly’s ability to navigate the emotional aspects of divorce with compassion, but readiness to fight for me when the time came. In fact, her entire team exhibited those same attributes and each one of them knew my case as if I had known them for years. Their advice helped me stay focused on the bigger picture. I felt supported, heard and expertly advised every step of the way. If I could offer any advice to someone considering a divorce, first, I highly recommend consulting with and choosing Livesay & Myers, P.C. and more specifically Ms. Lindsay Connolly and her team to represent you. Their expertise, dedication, and empathetic approach make them an invaluable ally during a difficult time. Second, your job doesn’t end after selecting representation; be ready to support them with timely responses and organized personal documentation. It’s a lot of work on our side to get the job done right. Thank you Lindsay, Maggie and Jennifer for your hard work and support!

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude to the incredible team of attorney Sarah Patras and paralegal Sunny Reneau for their exceptional support throughout my divorce case. Facing the complexities of this situation was particularly challenging for me, considering my commitment to working and traveling for the military. From the onset in October, Sarah and Sunny demonstrated an unparalleled level of dedication. Despite my frequent unavailability due to my demanding schedule and travel obligations, they consistently went above and beyond the call of duty. Their commitment to helping me navigate the divorce process, along with handling the necessary paperwork, has been nothing short of remarkable. What truly sets Sarah and Sunny apart is their willingness to extend their working hours far beyond the conventional 9-5. Despite the challenges of different time zones, they even took late-night calls, guiding me through crucial aspects of the case. Without their tireless efforts, I am confident that completing the case, let alone avoiding a trial, would have been an insurmountable task with any other team. Their ability to keep me focused and their unwavering support played a pivotal role in successfully concluding the case in an astonishingly brief period and before the end of the year. This outcome is a testament to their expertise, dedication, and commitment to their clients. I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah and Sunny to anyone seeking legal representation. Beyond their professional prowess, they bring a level of personal care that makes you feel supported, akin to having a friend and family member by your side during one of life’s most stressful periods. I want to express my sincere thanks to Sarah and Sunny for their outstanding work. Livesay and Myers are fortunate to have such a remarkable team. As a client for life, I extend my deepest appreciation. Thank you once again.

Went to Livesay and Myers Fredericksburg for an uncontested divorce. Ellie Pittman and Ashley Constant were amazing. They walked me through every step, were kind, listened to my concerns and made sure I understood and was comfortable with the entire process. Could not be more satisfied with the team and their handling of my situation.

​If you are going through a divorce or/and child custody, please hire a SKILLED lawyer and please don’t take anything lightly or for granted. I retained Lindsay Connolly after losing custody of my kids and at a time when my ex-spouse (7 years of marriage) was on the offensive and going after everything I worked for during the last 22 years. From the day I retained Lindsay to our court ordered settlement conference day, her posture proved that she FULLY understood what I was seeking in my divorce, knew the best and most cost-effective strategy to help me obtain my goals, genuinely cares, and worked on my behalf to achieve those goals, even in the face of my ex and her lawyers’ adversity. At the finish, I was able to get a fair visitation, kept ALL my assets and most importantly I could focus on my kids, my work and sleep at night. I am truly grateful to Lindsay and her highly competent legal assistants (Josephine Zimmer and Jennifer Ward). Please don’t hesitate!! Livesay & Myers is the law firm where you will get the BEST lawyer(s) for your divorce, child support, and/or custody. For my part, Lindsay is a LEGEND!!!

This law firm never stops working for you. Sarah Patras was our attorney in a Family case where a lot of paperwork was involved and a lot of serious issues and inaccurate information needed to be addressed. Ms. Patras was optimistic from the beginning and gave us the confidence to move forward even when some other issues came up. Their paralegal Ashley Constant was always available even when Ms. Patras was tied up and they both stayed in constant communication throughout the entire ordeal. I could not be happier with the representation of Ms. Patras or the assistance of Ms. Constant. If you have a family law case you could not ask for a better fighter to stand up for you in court or with DSS. Livesay and Myers will truly fight to win your case and keep in contact every step of the way. This is a law firm you can trust. Thank you Sarah and Ashley and thank you Livesay and Myers.

Very quick process to get my divorce. Ellie Pittman and her paralegal Ashley Constant were efficient and kept me informed every step of the way. When I would get worried about something, they were very responsive to my fears and assured me everything was moving along as it should. Less than ten months total for my divorce to be final. I would recommend this law firm to anyone seeking assistance!

Lindsay Connolly and the team at Livesay & Myers have been AMAZING.​ ​They all listened to my concerns and made sure I was comfortable with everything before we started anything. I used their offices for child support, custody & visitation, and finally divorce.​ ​Lindsay is a bulldog in court and doesn’t let anything slide! Really made me comfortable and had explained everything prior to us being in front of the judge so I knew what to expect.​ ​The rates are a bit high, but 100% worth it if you can afford it.​ ​I highly recommend this team!

I hired Sarah Patras in regards to a Property Settlement and Custody Agreement, as well as my divorce. Sarah, as well as paralegal Ashley Constant did a fantastic job! They were both very easy to get in contact with, whether by phone or email, always answered my questions thoroughly, and assisted greatly in getting my divorce finalized in a timely manner. I highly recommend both of them!
