James Short was not only a great lawyer that really wants what is best for his clients but he really listens to you. I had a complicated case, and we really thought it was going to go a certain way, but James Short never let that get in the way. He fought for me his client and in the end we ended up with the best results and I was so happy to have had him and have my case end the way we hoped for.

I first met Mr. Short in 2009 when I was going through a very complicated divorce. Since that time, Mr. Short has assisted me with numerous legal events in life. I would highly recommend Mr. Short to anyone seeking a fair, knowledgeable and highly qualified attorney.

Mr. Short was a great help to my family resolving a custody issue at a time when our options were limited. He resolved our issue, while his professionalism and caring demeanor gave us confidence throughout the process that our case was always given the attention it needs to obtain the best possible outcome. I’m grateful for the superb help we received, therefore I give Mr Short my strongest possible recommendation without reservation that you contact him if you need to hire one of the best attorneys in Virginia .”

I have used Mr. Short twice - once for custody and once for divorce. He is personable, professional, and will guide you through the process. He makes sure you are comfortable and allows you to ask any questions. His office is small yet home-like, which will put you at ease as well.

Mr. Short was communicative and highly efficient in meeting my legal needs. He maintained an air of professionalism at all times and his previous legal experience as a prosecutor provides insight not always found elsewhere. I would absolutely recommend him if you are looking to retain counsel.

James Short was not only a great lawyer that really wants what is best for his clients but he really listens to you. I had a complicated case, and we really thought it was going to go a certain way, but James Short never let that get in the way. He fought for me his client and in the end we ended up with the best results and I was so happy to have had him and have my case end the way we hoped for.

I have used Mr. Short twice - once for custody and once for divorce. He is personable, professional, and will guide you through the process. He makes sure you are comfortable and allows you to ask any questions. His office is small yet home-like, which will put you at ease as well.

Mr. Short was communicative and highly efficient in meeting my legal needs. He maintained an air of professionalism at all times and his previous legal experience as a prosecutor provides insight not always found elsewhere. I would absolutely recommend him if you are looking to retain counsel.

I first met Mr. Short in 2009 when I was going through a very complicated divorce. Since that time, Mr. Short has assisted me with numerous legal events in life. I would highly recommend Mr. Short to anyone seeking a fair, knowledgeable and highly qualified attorney.

Mr. Short was a great help to my family resolving a custody issue at a time when our options were limited. He resolved our issue, while his professionalism and caring demeanor gave us confidence throughout the process that our case was always given the attention it needs to obtain the best possible outcome. I’m grateful for the superb help we received, therefore I give Mr Short my strongest possible recommendation without reservation that you contact him if you need to hire one of the best attorneys in Virginia .”

James Short advised and represented our family during a very difficult time. He and his staff were always available with honest, frank and insightful answers to many issues during a yearlong custody battle. We feel blessed to have had Jim Short in our corner.

I have used Mr. Short twice - once for custody and once for divorce. He is personable, professional, and will guide you through the process. He makes sure you are comfortable and allows you to ask any questions. His office is small yet home-like, which will put you at ease as well.

Mr. Short was communicative and highly efficient in meeting my legal needs. He maintained an air of professionalism at all times and his previous legal experience as a prosecutor provides insight not always found elsewhere. I would absolutely recommend him if you are looking to retain counsel.

James Short was not only a great lawyer that really wants what is best for his clients but he really listens to you. I had a complicated case, and we really thought it was going to go a certain way, but James Short never let that get in the way. He fought for me his client and in the end we ended up with the best results and I was so happy to have had him and have my case end the way we hoped for.
