First off, I can't Thank Ms Commander and her entire staff enough! She went above and beyond! She's God sent. Her Court presence is UNMATCHED! Shes worth way more than what she ask. I thank God for her and her staff! They're extremely professional and courteous! I LOVE THEM! If you want results and want the BEST of the BEST, COMMANDER LAW IS THAT!!! THANK YOU AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
I had two different attorneys prior to going to Ms. Commander for my son's custody case. The first one was what I call a "divorce mill" attorney. It was supposed to be quick, easy, and cheap. Two sayings come in mind, "You get what you pay for..." and "Pay now or pay later..." Little did I know at the time, that divorce decree would be by far the most expensive piece of paper I ever paid for. I did get the divorce finally using the separation agreement he helped write, but it had many problems that I wouldn't learn about until later, most immediately being the custody arrangement.nnI ended up hiring my second attorney seven months after the divorce to challenge the custody arrangement. He was an older attorney and might have been a good one at one time, but he was past those days. Not only was he literally laughed at by those in the courtroom (and not in a good way), but he allowed me (and himself) to be torn apart by my ex's attorney, who I will call "Mr. Weasel-Face" for confidentiality reasons, in front of the judge. In the end, as I would eventually find out, my second attorney was just as big of a con artist as my first attorney.nnAfter the debacle of my first custody hearing, I decided to do a consult with Ms. Commander to see if she could possibly turn my case around. Other than retaining Ms. Commander, this was the best decision I ever made. I know some people get turned off by paying for an initial consult, but like I said before, "Pay now or pay later." Generally speaking, free consults are what businesses and other professionals do when they are trying to increase their clientele. Ms. Commander doesn't have this problem, and it means that she isn't wasting time with "non-paying" clients. Time that she can use working on your case instead. She works long and hard on her cases. I oftentimes received emails from her that were timestamped in the middle of the night on weekends and holidays. That being said, she is fair and ethical in her billing practices. Unlike some attorneys, she isn't going to bill you at her rate when her paralegal is doing the work at that point in time, and she isn't going to bill you for two hours on a one hour job. (Also, her entire staff is awesome as well... Abigail, Emily, and Tatiana.) Her reputation speaks for itself and for good reason. She also doesn't cut corners. She wins cases the right way and ethically, and I get the feeling that a lot of the judges know that about her. If you are looking for a shady, lying attorney, go to Mr. Weasel-Face. If you want an attorney that is going to win your case, go to Ms. Mary Commander.nnAs an active-duty service member and seeking custody from a stay-at-home ex-spouse, I had a long, uphill battle. In the end, even after my ex tried reporting multiple bogus complaints to CPS and every law enforcement agency that would listen, I still got everything I asked for in my custody case and then some.nnMary, I can't thank you enough for what you've done for myself and my family!
Attorney Commander and her entire staff were outstanding. I went 10 years without any cooperation from my ex-spouse regarding her divorce decree responsibilities. Attorney Commander resolved my issue in less than 2 months. She and her legal staff are responsive and on point... As a retired military officer, it was very important to me to have someone represent my interests who understands my perspective and pays attention to detail. Attorney Commander is not only a superior advocate, she and her staff provided me with top advice when decisions had to be made... Finally, I would like to add that I live in another part of the U.S., but needed local representation in the Tidewater area. Attorney Commander and her staff were always accessible and responsive to my questions throughout the entire process, even though I literally live in another time zone. Five Stars are not enough to express the work they did for me. These folks are top-notch. As a military man, I would never go into a battle without the best. If you have to go into a legal fight, you have the best with Commander Law - period.
Couldn't ask for a better lawyer. After a long drawn out custody battle, Ms. Commander shined in the court room. We got everything we asked for, something that many people had told us was not going to happen. Guess they didn't know who our lawyer was.nShe also helped deal with the constant shenigans that my ex concocted that involved CPS and the police. Don't know what I was thinking when I married that one, but I finally made a worthwild decision when I retained Ms. Commander. I am very thankful for her and her staff. She is a formidable lawyer that wins ethically! Love her and staff!
Commander Law did an OUTSTANDING job of handling my criminal expungement case. Tatiana Mendez is who helped me out. She did great work. She kept me thoroughly informed and was extremely knowledgeable about the legal process in which I had to take. I couldn't be happier with them. They're a truly professional outfit and I give them my full endorsement.
