Strentz Greene & Coleman, PLC

Brenda Greene was appointed as my attorney for a protection order, and I couldn’t have asked for better representation. As someone with a chronic illness that affects my cognitive abilities, I was grateful for her kindness, patience, and support. She made my first court experience much easier than I expected. Brenda was not only knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly personable and approachable. I unfortunately missed her after a brief step away from court, so I didn’t get to thank her in person—so here’s my heartfelt thank you!

If you are searching for a defense attorney I would strongly advise that you do not hire Tara Beth Coleman. She was appointed to my case by the circuit court. She does not return calls review evidence or even show up on time. She may have had some luck in a few cases that are considered high profile as for integrity and passion she lacks. Beware and find competent counsel to defend your reputation and freedom.

Was put in a really bad situation with no one to turn to, but luckily one of my best friends recommended Stacey to me. We just got started on this journey, but she is s fast paced, intelligent lawyer that gets stuff done!

If kelly greene is your court appointed attorney you are SCREWED! Unprofessional secretary who will take your information when you call and respond with "k cool ill have her call you" she will have documents notarized in your absence without you having ever even met the notary.She will tell you not to show up to court dates that clearly you were supposed to go to. She will not even show up for all of your scheduled court dates or even bother to contact you to tell you she isn't showing up. She will not look out for your best interest nor will she explain fully the papers she has you sign under duress but will then claim she fully explained during meetings that never happened. It will be nearly impossible to get in contact with her unless you literally back to back call her office even after promised weekly updates that never happened and if you file a complaint against her...she will break her code of ethics while attacking your character with information that should be covered by lawyer client confidentiality. If you are court appointed this attorney you would be better off representing yourself.

I used this firm for a child custody case. The custody case went well, however I didn’t get a lot of coaching on the interrogatory questions. My only complaint was getting $1500.00 a month child support payment. I am a paramedic who makes 60,000 dollars a year if I’m lucky. I pay more in child support than some one who makes $200,000 a year. I believe this to be the fault of the lawyers and the Judge who heard the case. It is an absolute crippling payment and I had no option to appeal. This error was critical and has put me in extreme financial struggles requiring me two work two full time jobs. I would use another firm who spends more time with the client try to protect their them. For a man find someone who will focus specifically on Men’s rights in divorce. Virginia is very hard on men in custody cases.
