I was lucky to have Laila Raheen represent me during my separation and divorce. Mrs. Raheen and her paralegal, Taryn Arp, were professional, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. Having never been through anything like this before, I had a lot of questions and concerns as the process unfolded. Laila was patient and listened as she diligently worked towards the best resolution for me and my children. She was easily accessible and thoughtful with my time. I am very thankful for the solid counsel and sound advice I received.
Laila Raheen represented me during my divorce, and did a fantastic job of it. I started with another lawyer at the same firm, and when she departed I was lucky enough to have my case transferred to Ms. Raheen. She took great care to understand my situation and my desire to work out a reasonable settlement without being adversarial. She was always available when I needed to communicate with her, and explained things in detail when I needed to understand them clearly. She negotiated skillfully with my wife's lawyer, who attempted to bully and bluff on too many occasions, and by her hard work we were able to settle without going to court, resulting in an agreement that was to my advantage, without being harsh or unfair to my now ex-wife. At all times, I felt like she was working for my best interests, in comparison to my wife's lawyer, who often seemed to be steering his client in such a way as to maximize his billable hours. In addition to doing a great job, Ms. Raheen was very pleasant, personable, and easy to work with. In all this, she was ably assisted by her associate Jenny Huchler, and her paralegal Taryn Arp, both of whom were dedicated, skilled, and always on top of things. In fact, I was very impressed by the culture of the firm (Livesay & Myers), since all the attorneys I met there seemed to support each other in their work and take the responsibility of mentoring junior associates very seriously. I would wholeheartedly recommend Laila and her firm for any work that needs doing.
I hired Laila to represent me in my divorce after twenty-seven years of marriage. I feel that, with Laila as my attorney, I received excellent legal representation. Her expertise in divorce law and professionalism are top notch. She iss very knowledgeable and helped me through many difficult situations that arose during my divorce case. She and her skilled team were very prompt with their correspondence and kept me updated throughout the entirety of my case. I strongly recommend Laila to anyone seeking a highly competent divorce attorney!
I hired attorney Laila Raheen, to represent me in my recent divorce and I am pleased with my selection of Ms. Raheen and Livesay & Myers. My first meeting with Ms. Raheen was in the office and it put my mind at ease, and confirmed that I was making the right decision by proceeding with the divorce. She is extremely professional and explained the process to me in a very straightforward way. Most of the paperwork required was sent and received via email and communication was responsive, intelligent, and helpful. I also worked with paralegal, Ms. Taryn Arp, who was very organized and kept the process moving forward. Once all paperwork was in, the process moved extremely quickly. I was expecting to receive a court date months after submitting paperwork, but instead I received an email very soon after stating my divorce had been finalized. I was quite pleasantly surprised at how simple and fast it was completed. Now, it could be that because we are in a pandemic, and my case was simple (childfree and assets already separated) that it was accelerated, I am not sure. Another benefit was that the costs were reasonable, and invoices were itemized in 10-minute increments, so the process was open and transparent (you will not be overcharged). In all, I would highly recommend Laila Raheen to anyone looking for a fair, professional, responsive, and efficient attorney with expert guidance.
I retained Ms. Raheen in 2019 to assist me with my separation and divorce. Ms. Raheen was extremely professional in every way. Her advice and advocacy were exceptional. I always felt that she and her staff kept me up-to-date and well informed. In a meeting with opposing counsel and my soon-to-be ex-husband, Ms. Raheen was a fierce defender of my rights and tirelessly worked on my behalf to negotiate a fair and just settlement. I would highly recommend her services to anyone needing a knowledgeable attorney.
I hired Ms. Raheen to help me with my divorce and custody issues. She was very honest, straightforward, and knowledgeable. She was very responsive, and helped me understand what my rights were, what was reasonable/ unreasonable, and gave me sound legal advice. She was very proactive, respectful, and professional. I can say the same for the rest of her team (Ms. Alp and Ms. Huchler).
I hired Laila Raheen as my attorney to represent me in a custody visitation with my grandson. Both Laila Raheen and Taryn Arp, her paralegal, were not only courteous, friendly, punctual and caring for me as a client, they are both extremely knowledgeable and provided me with their professional expertise to gain me visitation rights, as I was unsuccessful in this matter using another attorney. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my case. They are indeed true Professionals and a job well done.
Look no further if you’re searching for the best in a divorce attorney! I found Laila Raheen at Livesay & Myers via previous reviews. Ms. Raheen, and paralegal Taryn Arp, made the best team in dealing with a prolonged and difficult divorce. Every aspect of my case was handled professionally and efficiently. For over a year, Ms. Raheen and Ms. Arp always made me feel they understood my case, had an absolute grasp on Virginia law, and worked hard to focus on my best interest in the outcome… always with a sense of fairness and reality in mind. Rachel and Cindy were also great to deal with on routine invoicing. The best of all is the peace of mind I had being represented by such a competent group!
Ms. Raheen was very professional, knowledgeable and responsive. She took the time to listen to my concerns, and provide relevant and timely advice, helping me resolve my situation to its best possible conclusion. Working with Ms. Raheen was a pleasure, and will absolutely consider her in the future should the need arise. I would absolutely recommend her.
Laila Raheen was the lawyer who handled my divorce case at Livesay & Myers. My first meeting with her was my initial consultation regarding my case. She explained what the divorce process in Virginia involved, as well as allowed me to ask questions regarding my case. I came out of that first meeting having a very good feeling about her and decided to hire her that day. I liked that she was professional, very smart and not easily shaken by events or circumstances, just the lawyer I wanted! She clearly explained the divorce process and was very patient with me, as well as all of my questions. Laila explained things to me in terms that I could understand, as a person without a legal background. She was also very responsive to my emails/calls, always responding within a day or two. She also did a great job communicating with opposing counsel and worked through all of the nonsense to focus on the end goal, my divorce. Another important factor about my experience with Livesay & Myers was the billing. I felt like the expenses for my case were fair and reasonable. When I received my monthly bills it was clear what had been worked on and how much I was charged, that really put my mind at ease. To sum up my review, I have nothing but positive things to say about Laila Raheen, as well as the entire staff at Livesay & Myers. If you find yourself facing a divorce I highly recommend hiring this firm and Laila Raheen in particular, she is the best of the best!
