Very disappointed. Poor communication. Bad advice. Expensive mistake.

Two years ago, I went to Livesay and Myers and met Amanda Stone-Swart. Without getting into all the details, Amanda assisted me with some very complex custody, visitation, and divorce matter. I would argue that you retain an attorney because you simply need help with a legal matter and family law is one of the most challenging issues to litigate. In my many years of experience with the legal system, I have never met a more competent, compassionate, procedurally correct lawyer. The issues that I needed litigated would have been put at risk if it wasn’t for Amanda’s experience and knowledge as an attorney. Amanda, Ms. Humiston, and their firm assisted me with the custody of my children, my divorce, and navigated some complex laws that were relevant to litigating my case. The result, sole legal and physical custody of my children. I don’t state this to brag, I state this because when the matter at stake involves children and significant property, retaining an attorney that follows procedural law is critical. Amanda understood the discretion of many matters and she proved to be an instrumental asset in my case. If you’re looking for representation to litigate family law matters, I highly recommend Amanda Stone-Swart, you will not be disappointed. Amanda’s effort, competence and knowledge as an family law attorney, her sensitivity and discretion, her ability to explain and communicate the truth and reality of the law to her client was essential to my sanity through this process. Additionally, my case required additional resources to navigate some complex issues regarding the opposing party and Livesay and Myers was equipped to support these needs. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome of my case as she always put my children first in this matter. Amanda Stone-Swart is a capable, skilled expert in family law.

I received such excellent service at Livesay and Meyers, specifically Jonathan McHugh, Esq. and his paralegal Tatyana Spurgeon in the Leesburg office, I felt compelled to share my experience in the hopes it will help other military spouses seeking a divorce attorney.

As a soon-to-be divorced 20/20/20 military spouse, I wasn't sure where to turn, as I had read stories about former spouses missing out on entitlements. You put a lot of faith in the attorney composing your Marriage Settlement Agreement (MSA). I interviewed two other attorneys before meeting with Jonathan and knew immediately that he was very knowledgeable about addressing my military-related concerns and looking out for "me."

Jonathan addressed the division of military retirement, "former" spouse Supplemental Benefit Plan (SBP) coverage, continued enrollment in TRICARE, and the associated contingencies. Although my former spouse was "mostly" cooperative throughout the process, even he commented, "Wow, that's pretty thorough!" after reading Jonathan's draft of the MSA. And, because the initial draft was so well done (citing relevant case law to back up items in the MSA), we didn't have to go back-and-forth ironing out specifics -- which ultimately saved me a significant amount of money.

I cannot thank Jonathan enough for his patience and professionalism during a most difficult time.

I am very pleased with Ms. Anne Prentice Lawyer, Ms. Margaret Stanley (Gigi) and Amanda Conard for their excellent support during my divorce case. They were incredibly kind, honest, patient and promptly notified and guided me through the entire process. I am so glad I paid a bit more but it was more than worth it. They are consummate professionals and I strongly recommend this firm to others.

Divorce is not easy on the individual or the family. Ariel and Tatyana helped me through a very difficult time with compassion, expertise, and thoroughness. The support and guidance I received from Ariel and Tatyana was instrumental and provided a lot of comfort knowing my interest were always well represented. I had a complex situation and they were able to navigate it for me with finesse and a resolution and outcome I was hoping for. Ariel and Tatyana were always prompt and very diligent, and never shied to give it to me straight, if I wanted to hear it or not. Ariel fought for my interests at all times and was a called a “pitull” by opposing counsel, a term I thought was one of flattery and highlighted the focus and unwillingness to not have my interests, and the interests of my 2 children, as her number one priority.

The best choice I made was selecting Livesay & Myers and thank you again to Ariel and Tatyana!

Divorce is certainly a difficult time and having the right attorney and team to represent your interests is critical. I am grateful for having Jonathan McHugh, and Tatyana Spurgeon, represent me on this matter. Jonathan and Tatyana did an outstanding job handling my case and exceeded my expectations. They provided excellent advice and were always available to answer any questions I had. Thank you very much for your responsiveness, and sound advice during this difficult time. I would highly recommend your services.

Thank you Anne Prentice and Margaret Stanley. The Hague Convention case was handled professionally and with urgency.

Ms. Prentice assisted us with a step parent adoption. We were unfamiliar with the process and slightly overwhelmed by the idea, but upon our first meeting we immediately felt confidant that the process would go smoothly. Ms. Prentice explained how the process works, our options, and even a cost estimate. She was extremely professional and yet very compassionate to our situation. From that point on everything went swiftly. The team that assisted, namely Ms Stanley and Ms Spurgeon were always responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend Ms Prentice and the practice to anyone in need of assistance in any area of Family Law.

I am very pleased with Ms. Anne Prentice Lawyer and Ms. Margaret Stanley (Gigi)paralegal. Both; helped me so much with my case. They were so kind, honest and patient through out the whole process. I have met lawyers and paralegals in the past but the service Ms. Prentice and Ms Stanley offer at this practice is outstanding!. From the moment I met Ms. Prentice and Ms. Stanley I knew I was in good hands!

Jonathan and Tatyana were great to work with and exceeded my expectations. They always were quick to respond to my questions and provided excellent advice.

After receiving a letter from an Attorney stating separation and divorce proceedings were forthcoming I clearly felt in need of legal representation. I went on line calling Livesay & Myers. This was a random choice as I acted impulsively, having no experience with and sought no referrals as to securing an attorney to stand with me. As it turned out I could not have made a better choice had I spent days researching numerous firms. Melannie Dino took me through the entire procedure with great professionalism, knowledge and compassion. I was especially appreciative with her prompt responses to my questions/concerns (there were many) which served to keep me grounded and moving forward to a successive conclusion. I am truly grateful to Melannie, assistants Coleen, Tatyana as well as Amanda's welcoming greetings when visiting the Leesburg office. Many thanks to all. - Ron

I had a very pleasant experience working with Melannie Dino on a custody, visitation, and child support case. She was professional all throughout and never failed to give me good advice nor to answer my question and address my concerns.

I liked the most that it always felt organic and that she was constantly on top of things.

Attorney Anne Prentice and Senior Paralegal Tatyana Spurgeon handled my Property Settlement Agreement and Uncontested Divorce in a professional and efficient manner. The lawfirm provided expert advice and the process went very smooth. Very pleased with the service. Fully recommend. Thank you much!

Our family was involved in a complex custody case. Amanda Stone-Swart handled the litigation for us with sensitivity and strength, diligence and competence. She was always forthright in her assessments but remained steadfast and optimistic along the way. She was patient with us and thoughtfully answered all of our questions throughout. I hold her in the highest regard and would recommend her enthusiastically.

Amanda Stone Swart and Donna Fernandez at the Leesburg office were very effective in handling my case. I had a simple divorce but I was treated with excellent service. No case ever goes 100% smoothly but they had great customer service and were very flexible in adjusting to my needs, often going above and beyond to make things work for my wife and myself during turbulent times. Their advice made our divorce 100% easier and way less stress than my friends who have used other divorce lawyers. I'd totally recommend them to anyone looking for help with any family law matters. Just a protip for great service: Even if you have a phone conversation, document everything through email, and make sure you are on top of your case. This reduces mistakes and makes both parties' (lawyer and client) lives easier.

Divorce is never easy, but Ms. Anne Prentice made it more than comfortable for me. She had my best interest at heart and always asked me questions in a manner which I felt safe. She warned me of items that didn't appear right, and went with my decision at the end. I would highly recommend her in any family law matters.

I worked with Melannie Dino and couldn’t be happier with how easy and fast everything was.

I have had the unfortunate experience of having to hire several attorneys over the past decade for family court and have seen all types of firms. Livesay & Myers, P.C. (Leesburg VA office) was the best experience I have had dealing with the unfortunate task of working through legal matters. I worked with attorney Jonathan McHugh and paralegal Tatyana Spurgeon.

I worked with Jonathan and the nature of my case was a slow start, and in this matter, what i perceive was a small case. Despite that, Jonathan was clear on expectations, steps in the case, risks, and was detailed oriented and based on considerable experience. Even though it was not a big case, he treated my case as if it was.

Tatyana (paralegal) was also timely, followed up as promised, answered questions with clarity, detail oriented, and generally was incredibly pleasant to work with. Even if the follow up with me was months away, she would reach out as promised.

Small case, but it was important to me and clearly important to Tatyana & Jonathan. I recommend you look at Livesay & Myers, P.C. first. Thank you for your help in my case!

Separation is very difficulty especially when sociality norms is to provide everything to the wife. Thank God I met Melannie Dino, Lawyer from Livesay & Myers who did not discriminate. She displayed a very high skill level and knowledge of law its statute and operation on that level of professionalism. I felt like someone was on my side displaying no biases, instead sticking to what the statutes indicated and giving appropriate advice with supported legal authority. I highly recommend Melannie Dino to all in great need of an attorney you will be well pleased with her work ethics, friendliness, attitude and quick turn around and response. Thanks Melannie Dino! From my Bother.

Jonathan (Jon) McHugh and Tatyana Spurgeon are very professional and highly skilled. They worked with me on a very difficult legal matter and provided expert advice and products throughout the process. I highly recommend Livesay & Myers for legal needs -- particularly Jon and Tatyana!

Affordable, helpful, and friendly, especially in difficult circumstances

Everybody knows how difficult a divorce can be. I had a previous lawyer at the beginning of mine that was not very considerate. I did not continue with that person. When I had to amend my separation agreement, I made an appointment with Jonathan. Jonathan was direct and had the ability to keep the conversation going in the direction it needed to go; after all, time is money, especially in a divorce lawyer situation. Due to being impressed by our first visit for the separation agreement, I decided to keep Jonathan as my divorce lawyer. The rates are competitive and the whole office is great. I would highly recommend!!

I am so thankful I have had the opportunity to work with both Amanda Stone Swart and Jenny Peshoff for my case. They are both incredibly professional, diligent, and were in constant contact with me throughout the course of my case to ensure I knew exactly where we were in the process. They promptly answered any questions I had and ensured I felt comfortable and confident throughout the process.

I cannot recommend Amanda and Jenny highly enough. Thank you!

The service I had received from Livesay & Myers was beyond any expectations. Ms. Anne Prentice and Ms. Tatyana Spurgeon didn't just do a good job, they did an outstanding job taking care of my case. They were knowledgeable, professional, understanding, and most importantly passionate about everything they did. I would highly recommend their legal services.

So thankful to have had Jonathan's and Tatyana's legal expertise during my legal case. Jonathan certainly went the extra mile to uncover all legal possibilities in my case, which ultimately turned in my favor. Thank you so much for the sound legal advice, responsiveness, and understanding. Would highly recommend.

Jonathan and Tatyana dove into my Pro-Se paperwork mess, sorted through piles of overwhelming facts, and extracted a plan to defend me in a custody modification suit, full of erroneous accusations, immediately following a life-threatening illness. Jonathan is firm yet empathetic; his command of the English language is powerful and delivered a sobering experience to the opposition. It wasn't a surprise that they insisted on settling out of court!

Throughout the process, their responses to my inquiries were immediate and personal. I would be proud to call them my friends, even though they are my counsel. Fortunately, my health has been restored; and, due to their unwavering dedication, my family and life have been restored as well. I can live the rest of my life with my children by side and this team in my back pocket. The outcome far exceeded my expectations and there's no chance I'll ever seek counsel elsewhere.

Thanks, Jon and Tatyana, for leading us through the most difficult time of our lives.

I strongly recommend Jonathan McHugh and the Livesay & Myers team. Clear and timely communication throughout the process. Connected with the team as an individual vs. just another case. 5 star service!

Jonathan McHugh and his team were very helpful, courteous, and patient throughout the process. They were able to help create a positive result out of a very difficult situation, and ensured a fair and equitable outcome for all parties. Thank you for representing me so well!

Amanda Stone Swart and her team were wonderful in handling my custody case. I had battled a very long time to have more time with my children, having retained other attorney's in the past along with even trying to represent myself. Dealing with a complicated situation and my increasing concern with my children's safety, I reached out to Livesay & Myers. The initial meeting was comforting and provided me an understanding of what I would be able to do in helping my children. Amanda addressed my concerns with compassion and an extremely high level of knowledge. Amanda truly cares for her clients and provides the education and gives of her time to help her client learn and then help themselves. I have felt truly represented in the outcome of my children's best interests. Amanda is not only reliable, knowledgeable and sincere she is responsive and conscious of my budget. Amanda was instrumental and supportive in winning sole physical custody of my children. I highly recommend Amanda, her expertise in family law is undeniable.

During my divorce proceedings, they successfully divided our marital assets but failed to address our martial debts. I expected more due to the firm's rating and for the amount of money that I paid to retain their services. This was the worse legal experience ever! Never again!

Ms Amanda Stone Swart, Esq of Livesay & Myers recently represented me in a complicated divorce action in Loudoun County involving abandonment. This was made more complex with my husband's relocation outside of the US.

Ms. Swart designed a strategy to accomplish a property settlement and divorce in a timely and cost effective manner. She and her paralegal Donna Fernandez kept in contact so I was never left wondering the status of my case or what the next action would be to achieve an equitable resolution.

Amanda Stone Swart and her legal team were a bright light in an otherwise uncomfortable situation that had to be dealt with. I can't thank them enough for their knowledge, professionalism, understanding and support. I highly recommend Amanda for anyone needed a family law attorney in Loudoun County, VA

Anne Prentice and the legal team at the Leesburg office did an excellent job ensuring that my separation contract, and ultimate divorce was fair and equitable. I highly recommend their services.

Amanda Stone Swart was amazing to work with. She helped me navigate through the entire divorce process - offering her expertise and professional opinions along the way, while advocating for me and what was best for my situation. I highly recommend her services!! She was thorough, thoughtful and efficient. Something that was such an overwhelming process to me, she made easier. I'm hopeful I don't need to use a lawyer again...but if I do - she'll be the one I call!

I recently finalized my divorce and hired Livesay & Myers to assist me through the process. Amanda Stone Swart was the attorney that worked with me through the whole process and I couldn't be happier. It was a long process between my ex and I, but Ms. Stone Swart took the time to explain everything to me and offered me the best advice for my particular case.

The staff at Livesay & Myers comes highly recommended and I would use them again for other legal matters!

Amanda Stone Swart and Donna Fernandez provided fantastic support for my family and I throughout a challenging matter of extended duration which was successfully resolved. Amanda's advice and experience shone through and made a difficult experience significantly easier for me and my family.

Typo after typo after typo. Filed with the courts with typos. They took forever to do the simplest things. The lawyers are always on vacation. I would never deal with them if I were you.

I was very pleased with my experience with Livesay & Myers and in particular my attorney Amanda Stone Swart and paralegal Donna Fernandez. Amanda always looked out for my best interests and had a great balance of assertiveness and cautious approach with my time (therefore $). My ex wife's Fairfax county attorney, made what should have been a very simple case an absolute nightmare. I got to see (as did my ex wife) first hand what damage $$$$ an overly aggressive attorney not looking out for their clients best interest can do. Amanda constantly attempted to talk sense into my wife's attorney as to sitting down and coming to a simply distribution of assets. Amanda is very knowledgeable and I felt like I was always given realistic expectations at every point in the process, even when things got very messy. I would highly recommend Amanda and the team there at Livesay and Myers! Thanks Amanda! - Chris

I cannot thank Anne Prentice and Margaret Stanley enough for their efforts in securing child support my children. Anne remained consummate in her support of my case through the entire yearlong effort. Her tenacious was absolute and non-relenting at the end of the case when opposing counsel was delinquent in our request for information. I cannot thank the entire Livesay & Myers team for helping to make a better life for my children. I highly recommend Anne and Margaret if you every have a family law issue.

I cannot say enough good things about Jonathan McHugh and Tatyana Spurgeon. They are professional, courteous, understanding, sympathetic, reasonable, and are both extremely good at what they do. They both respond to emails literally within minutes, which blew me away considering how many cases they are working on at once. They know the legal system inside and out, and they know how to approach things in a manner that will provide the best chance of a favorable outcome. Unfortunately, having to secure their services probably means you're going through a difficult time in your life, but having a team that is as good as John and Tatyana will provide comfort in an otherwise stressful time. John and Tatyana are phenomenal. Hands down.

Mrs. Prentice and Tatyana were an absolute dream to work with. They were extremely professional, responsive, and made my life much easier in regards to my legal matter. I highly recommend them!

Divorce sucks. It entails loss, pain, and grief. It also means you face uncertainty and unknowns, especially with respect to your rights and the legal process. No matter your situation, you need to know all the legal and financial aspects of the divorce. You need a lawyer, and a firm, you can trust and partner with throughout the process.

From my first meeting with Jonathan McHugh, I felt I could not only trust him, but that I wasn’t “just another divorce.” I felt the same when meeting Tatyana. Both were genuinely interested in the specifics of my case, and treated me with the utmost respect, humanity, patience, and professionalism throughout the duration of my case. As divorce negotiations proceeded, I felt confident that Jonathan and Tatyana always had my best interests in mind. The result was a fair settlement.

I highly recommend Jonathan and Tatyana, and Livesay & Myers as a firm.

Choosing Livesay & Myers was the best decision I made all 2017. Jonathan Relentlessly pursued justice on my behalf and the result was nothing less than exemplary!

If you're looking for a family court firm, stop. Call them now. You won't regret it.

I came across Livesay & Myers by fluke stemming from a negative experience with another attorney... and I am SO glad that I had that experience because it brought me to Jon & Tatyana. They are both prompt, honest, and thorough. I have like I truly mattered the entire time and taken care of. The need for an attorney is usually an unfortunate one, however, life happens and I couldn't have asked for better guidance and support. Every person I came in contact with from Livesay & Myers was pleasant, knowledgeable, and willing. I have only positives to say, and many of them. Highly recommend.

Retained Jonathan McHugh for my divorce and an very happy with the service provided. Great team, very professional and responsive and affordable.

Professional, prompt and polite. How's that for alliteration?
Look no further for legal council.
Retain and be rewarded.

Jonathan P. McHugh, Esq. and Tatyana Spurgeon provided excellent representation to me during my recent court case. Their communication was clear, they were very responsive and worked diligently to ensure that things went smoothly. I appreciate their professionalism!

I worked with Amanda Stone-Swart and Jenny Peshoff for most of my family law issues. They were extremely attentive, and definitely an advocate for their clients. There were some extremely odd circumstances in my case and Amanda was able to research and respond with options/recommendations, in an efficient manner. I would highly recommend. I also worked very shortly with Tatyana and Jonathan, they were extremely professional as well.

I retained Jonathan McHugh from the Leesburg office of Livesay & Myers, P.C. to help finalize and file my Separation Agreement, the final Divorce Decree and to handle the two related QDRO's that were required. I found both Jonathan and Paralegal Tatyana Spurgeon to be very professional, kind, and sensitive to my desire to keep the divorce amicable. My phone calls and e-mails were returned promptly, and they always made sure I understood all my options every step off the way. I highly recommend their services.

Honest review. I stumbled across this lawfirm from google searching "divorce lawyers that specialize with fathers". I sent them an email out of desperation on a friday night and got a call back the very next saturday at 1:30PM. I explained my current situation over the phone and they brought me in for a free consultation. This is where i sat and met with Jonathan, my divorce attorney. One thing to consider when picking out an attorney is that you are not shopping for a therapist. You are shopping for an attorney. That is exactly what Jon is. What made me respect him is the fact that he made that very clear to me and advised me with the most honest and up to date laws. His paralegal Tatyana was exceptional in communicating with me and sending me over documents as needed.

At 10:30PM on a thursday night i found myself in a nasty uneasy situation while locked in my room with my child. Out of desperation i emailed Jonathan and asked him "What do i do?". I don't know many lawyers but the fact that he was able to respond to my email with advice on how to properly handle that situation at 10:30PM on a thursday night says a lot about how he treats his clients.

He will give you the best legal counsel possible, and when it comes time to fight it out in court, you will feel as confident as i did when he told me "If their attorney chooses to go to court, we will come out on top. I'm not worried about him". The other party decided to sign the agreement that we had sent over to them. Which brings up another point. When coming to a seperation/settlement agreement with your spouse, he will make points and ideas that are fair and honest for both parties.

There are no cutting corners. He will give you the best legal advice possible so that if in the event you do go to court, you walk in there with confidence and the judge will see that you are doing right on your part such as paying child support before it is even court ordered, being civil with your spouse, and respectful when it comes to communication. In the world we live in, people are very quick to rush to google to find information on law and are quick to ask their friends. Stop wasting your time and have a chat with these people. You'll learn A LOT!

Huge thankyou to Tatyana & Jon! You both made my entire divorce process an absolute breeze.

Tatyana Spurgeon worked on my case, and I found her at all times to be highly professional, efficient, compassionate, and polite. All communications were prompt and thorough. My divorce was very complex and drawn-out, and she was always supportive of me and helpful in navigating a very difficult situation. If you are going to be seen at Livesay and Myers, I HIGHLY recommend requesting that Tatyana be a part of your legal team.

Amanda Stone-Swart and her team were amazing. If you have never needed a lawyer before and unsure of what questions to ask, Amanda is your lawyer. I had never needed a lawyer before, and she was able to explain to me what the process was, what my options were and how my decisions would affected the options provided to me. I was nervous, but she ensured me that everything would be okay and that she would guide me through the process step by step. Tatyana Spurgeon, Amanda's paralegal also amazing. If Amanda was at court and unable to respond to my email, Tatyana was on it, I always received a return email within the hour, most times sooner. Jessica White the accountant kept up with my trust fund, and again if I had any questions at all, she would respond almost immediately. If you are fearful of hiring a law firm, this firm has top notch professionals. They aren't in it just for the money, they care about your justice and your rights! Thank you Amanda and team for being such AMAZING people and for the support you provided to me. I almost forgot they had other cases to attend too, that's how attentive they are. Amanda and Tatyana make you feel like your the only case they're working on.

I felt like they not only represented me in writing but in demeanor as well.

Mr. McHugh and Ms. Spurgeon were incredibly knowledgable and helpful with my custody case. They always kept me up to date with what was going on and made sure I was aware of every detail.

I would highly recommend Mr. McHugh and Ms. Spurgeon if you are in need of legal assistance.

Excellent services and extremely knowledable. Livesay & Myers was referrred to me by a friend who was also going through family divorce, child custody/support.

Jenny Peshoff helped me so much in all the paperwork and walked me through everything in detail. I highly recommend their services in family law.

Additionally, Tatyana was always contacting me and providing me updates to my case. She is first rate! Thanks for your assistance in my time of need, Livesay and Myers! - Doug

Every meeting with the lawyers and associates at the Leesburg office of Livesay & Myers far exceeded my expectations. I expected to pay a huge retainer, but their fees were a small fraction of that. I expected my case would be complex and drag out for months, but they offered me a simple solution that resolved my issues in less than 30 days. At a time when I was in a very dim place, they were empathetic, supportive, efficient, and totally excellent! I recommend them to everyone I know who needs a really good family lawyer. I thank my lawyer Amanda Stone Swart and her associate Tatyana Spurgeon for their wonderful work and support. Julie B., Hamilton, VA

I worked directly with Amanda Stone Swart and her paralegal, Tatyana Spurgeon. Divorce can be a very stressful event, but working with Amanda and Tatyana made it as easy as it could have been. I would recommend them immediately to anyone thinking about divorce or going through a divorce.

I am extremely pleased with the entire firm of Livesay & Myers, P.C. and how they have handled my needs from the first consultation to the closure of my case. Throughout my legal situation, they handled my proceedings with the utmost professionalism. My needs and concerns were meet with a personal feel. Attorney Amanda S. was punctual in returning my emails, which put me at ease with my concerns. In addition, Senior Family Law Paralegal, Tatyana S. was very connected at communicating with me, and she provided great service, and let me know everything that was going on in the case. With living and working in Northern Virginia, customer service is hard to find, but I found it with Livesay and Myers. I would very highly recommend this firm and trust that they will meet your needs for proper representation.

Excellent service. I found Livesay and Myers online and would recommend their services to my friends and family if needed. They took care of my traffic case at a reasonable fee. Working with Jenny Peshoff was great as well, she followed through with all my questions and concerns in a very timely manner. I suggest using their services.

Just wanted to thank Ms. Amanda Stone Swart and her paralegal, Ms. Tatyana Spurgeon. Going thru a divorce is never an ideal situation but my experience working with them was painless and stress free.

I had excellent experience using Livesay & Myers for my divorce case. Both Jonathan and Tatyana were professional, thorough, and efficient in processing my case.

The whole divorce process seemed daunting and I had no idea where to start or what to expect. I worked with Jon and Tatyana and they made the whole process so easy, and were great to work with throughout. I loved that they have a flat-rate fee for uncontested divorces because my ex and I were in agreement about all aspects of our divorce and I really didn't want to have to pay thousands of dollars to have a lawyer on retainer. All documents were drawn up and filed quickly, and my ex and I were able to have our divorce finalized without even having to appear in court. I would definitely recommend Livesay & Myers to anyone looking for help with a divorce.

Amanda Stone Swart made a difficult situation much easier and smoother than I could have imagined. She and her staff (Tatyana Spurgeon) took care of everything and kept me informed completely.

I personally want to thank Mr. Jonathan McHugh and Ms. Tatyana Spurgeon for working with me throughout my divorce case. There were many times during my frustration that both Jonathan and Tatyana sympathized with me, but still did their jobs in a professional and always timely manner. I would highly recommend to anyone the services of Mr. McHugh and Ms. Spurgeon. Thanks again for all your work and support!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Jonathan McHugh and Tatyana Spurgeon for their excellent service in handling my divorce. It was the most pleasant experience I have ever had dealing with a lawyer from the first consultation to the final outcome. I was kept informed of every step of the process. I thought the fee was fair but the service and compassion was outstanding. Even though it was uncontested, I felt that Mr. McHugh provided me with excellent legal advice in looking out for my interests. I am 1000% satisfied and would highly recommend them if you ever need an attorney in his field. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Jonathan McHugh and Tatyana Spurgeon were extremely responsive throughout my divorce case. They showed compassion during a very difficult transition and circumstance in my life. Jonathan was extremely knowledgeable about my rights and the laws of Prince William County and VA. They helped me through some of the most difficult times of my life. I highly recommend their services. Thank you Jonathan and Tatyana!!

Thank you Livesay & Myers for the uncontested divorce service. I couldn't be more pleased with Tatyana and Amanda. I couldn't have been happier with price and service. They kept me apprised every step of the way. They made a difficult situation easier to understand and deal with.

I went through google for finding the lawyers in Manassas and other areas. There were bunch of reviews and I read each and every one, but I chose Livesay & Myers, for many good reasons. When I called, I had the best customer service on the phone, before even my consultation. I felt comfortable. So I went, and did a consultation with Mr. Johnathan Mchugh – my lawyer. I knew he was the one who will do his best to help me on my divorce case. I am very happy with my consultation and all the tips/suggeston provided. I chose Johnathan for my divorce case. Johnathan not only help me on the case, but in my personal life. He is one great lawyer, who really "Care" deep down for all of his clients. I appreciate his help, suggestion, and quick response to my divorce case. I had so many questions, and Mr. Mchugh answered all the questions patiently .
This Livesay & Myers firm is quick, and very customer friendly. Their dedication towards the case/clients is enormous, and I do highly recommend going to them. I will tell you one thing, and I think I have no words to explain because Johnathan as a lawyer is better than great! Tatyana L. Spurgeon, Senior Paralegal, who is Jonathan’s assistant is also very helpful, quick, and answers all the questions. I do highly recommend going to Johnathan Mchugh.

Divorce is horrible. It just is. There is no way to write a glowing review about going through that process. However, when you find yourself in such a situation you want representation that is 1) Honest, 2) Affordable, and 3) Completely aligned with getting you the outcome that you desire - and if you are lucky what both parties desire. I had a positive experience working with Jonathan P. McHugh, my attorney, and Tatyana L. Spurgeon, my senior paralegal. My first consultation was free and to-the-point, and we quickly communicated in a way that made me comfortable. I didn't feel as if I was nickel-and-dimed at any time of the process. Everything was up front, and I feel that a year later there were no surprises - everything went according to my initial consultation. I am very thankful that I was able to accomplish what needed to be accomplished for very little money, and all parties are satisfied and amicable. I would recommend Livesay & Myers and specifically Jonathan and Tatyana for anyone else who has to go through such a terrible ordeal.
