The Law Office of Joan K. Fine, PLC

We highly recommend Joan as our attorney. Joan has been by our side for 22 years through thick and thin with our Businesses and our Family. Joan is an attorney to be proud of and has helped our Businesses grow in many successful ways, including drafting and reviewing documents and representing us in court. As we continue Joan will always be there for us.

Joan was so helpful when I was unsure how to handle a tenant issue last fall. While I didn't need to engage her services, I would absolutely hire her for future needs, and refer her to others. She is extremely knowledgeable, highly professional and confidential, and yet approachable and caring. You do NOT want to be on the opposite side of a courtroom from her--she's that good.

Our business has retained Mrs. Fine on several occasions in the past and is our go to for legal counsel and real estate closings. She has worked with us on litigation and contractual cases and been a knowledgeable resource regarding general business concerns. In every instance she has been thorough, honest and diligent. Mrs. Fine works to efficiently research case law and opinions, covering all possible angles so as to make well informed and calculated recommendations to move the case or issue forward resulting in a favorable outcome for her client. She is without hesitation our first and only choice for legal representation.

Joan Fine has been our family attorney for years, starting with my parents, and now handling all legal matters for my husband and me. She has helped us with wills, leases, and all manner of general legal advice, and her communication with us has never been anything but completely thorough, clear, and effective. Of particular note was her representation of us when we had to evict and then pursue litigation against an irresponsible tenant of our family property who had done more than $80,000 in damage. She counseled us carefully through the entire process, explaining each step, what we needed to do, what we should expect, how much of her time would be involved, what the likely costs would be, etc. She was spot-on, as always. Although Virginia is not a state known for being friendly to landlords, we won our case, and were awarded the full amount of damages we were seeking. Joan led us every step of the way, and we could not have done it without her. She is smart, tenacious, detailed, and consummately professional. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

For a full year Joan Fine was the attorney for a large 501( c)(3) corporation of over 800 members. The corporation was under constant threat of legal action by one disgruntled member, nearly bankrupt, and under suspension by our parent organization. With Joan's guidance and counsel we avoided additional legal problems, restored the corporation to solvency, and regained recognition as a member in good standing of the national organization. As the newly elected president and chairman of the Board of Directors, I relied heavily on Joan's advice and on five occasions her performance in court. In every case her counsel was sound and beneficial to the corporation.nOn the strength of her performance as corporate counsel I retained Joan as my estate planning attorney and was entirely satisfied with her services. I have recommended Joan Fine to several friends and colleagues, with positive feedback from all.nI have no hesitation recommending Joan Fine as a superbly competent attorney.
