My experience with Melone Hatley law firm has been absolutely depressing . On October 2022, I hired Mr. James Whitus of Hatley, to handle my divorce proceedings . However, after a year of repeated information about my case , and no movement forward, and a bill that ran into several thousands of dollars , I decided to switch to another firm .Upon speaking with Erik, a supervisor at Hatley, I was recommended to work with Julia Stitley as an alternative.I decided to work with her since I did not want to start from scratch.

I just finished paying off legal fees that began in May 2022. From May 2022 to October 2022, I was handed off to six different lawyers, each one billing me for them to get up to speed on my case. Turnover in this firm is high. The original attorney handling my case quit the firm, and then the firm sued him so he could not continue to represent me. At that point I was in it for several thousands of dollars, i.e. "sunk costs." I couldn't afford the retainer for another attorney. The final attorney who represented me didn... read more
If I could rate Melone Hatley law firm with negative stars, I would do so without hesitation. My experience with them has been an absolute nightmare, and I strongly advise against entrusting them with any legal matters. Initially, I had a lawyer whom I trusted and valued highly. However, after she left the firm unexpectedly, I was handed off to Eric Schell, and that's when everything spiraled into chaos. From the outset, Eric displayed a shocking lack of interest in my case. During our initial meeting, he barely bothered t... read more
My experience Melone Hately has been a nightmare, and I strongly caution against using them for any legal matters. Melone Hatley law firm's negligence, incompetence, and disregard for their clients' concerns have resulted in excessive bills and a lack of progress. I strongly advise against using this firm for any legal matters.
This is the worst experience ever. I am on my 3rd lawyer with the firm and now I found out the paralegal has left. I filed Jan 2023 still don't have a pre-trial date. I'm paying all of this money to keep repeating myself to the next lawyer that charges me even more For the same information that I gave the previous attorneys! I will be going to the Va bar. I emailed for an update on Valentine's Day the paralegal was supposed to get back and still no response! I called to speak with the concierge I believe and she was supposed... read more
This was a very bad move the complete process was bad. I thought this was a good firm had good reviews. I needed an Attorney for my Divorce case Motion for Temporary and Permanent Possession of Martial Property. RICHMOND, VA HENRICO! I contact by text message on phone received a reply. My first interaction was with Robert King Client Services Coordinator very professional and explained to me about applying for loan through AFFIRM because i did not have 2500.00 upfront fixed income disable veteran. This was in July 28, 2023.... read more
hired this firm (Reston office) to help me get a quick, amicable divorce. I had my consultation with Mr. Vazquez, (4 yrs practicing) paid my fee, then he wanted the separation agreement my last lawyer typed up. (Last lawyer had to refund my money because he opened his own firm under a new name.) I was reluctant to provide another attorneys work to them but they said it would save me money rather than them starting from scratch. They literally took 7 days to cut and paste some new text into the document and return it to me.... read more
Eric Schell was my divorce attorney and I have had such s bad experience. First, i'm still not divorced and my case has been ongoing since February. There is absolutely no communication and I have to send an email for an update. Eric does not put a pressure on my husband's attorney to get the paperwork back. I also did not feel confident in going to trial because, one, the paperwork he submitted had many grammatical errors and I was not confident in Eric. So I decided to settle for less. Also Eric has accused me of dodging c... read more
My case for legal custody when on for 8 months due to an associate with health problems handled my case. Received a few emails, even though I had sent the lawyer dozens of emails. No communication, no follow up. I primarily received responses from the legal assistants even when I addressed the lawyer directly. Appointments were scheduled and rescheduled over and over. Over the duration of 8 months I received only two email responses. I was charged for very ambiguous things such as "read email." Please, please do not trust t... read more
