I met with Ms. Harkins and decided to hire her because she was very patient and took her time to answer all my questions. She did a very good job in my case and I will definitely use her, again if I have any other legal matters.

I have the pinnacle of a deadbeat ex-husband. Many think they have it, but mine can take the cake against anything you have faced. He's talented that way. One day he seems to have woken up and decided to sue me for full custody. I had a lawyer previously who was too nice. He felt I was being unreasonable, and I think Mary did too before she met him. He had not paid child support in, well... ever. He had not seen our child in years, and lost his legal rights about 3 years before this case. Mary and I only had a few brief conversations before the court date, and as I said I think she thought I was being unreasonable before she met my ex. The reason we only talked briefly was because I fired my former lawyer and their was a short amount of time we has once we were in touch with each other, and it was what I wanted. I am sure she would have made time if we had it to talk before the court appearance. Mary met with him before the case, and he agreed to pay more than he owed in back child support! I was thrilled, they amended the support to a higher amount than he was previously ordered to pay, and he agreed to garnishment. This was nothing short of a miracle. Mary again asked me if I was willing to give him some visitation, or allow my child to travel to his place. I told Mary I would not let my ex have visitation, and I wanted it legally removed so that he did not think he had any rights. She told me she was not sure that would happen, but she would do what I asked. In the end he lost his physical custody too, but they allowed for a very limited visitation; to make it so he still had to pay child support! I had been asking for years to remove his rights, and the court felt sorry for him and my old council did not fight for me. I love this woman, and have sent LOTS of people her way! I referrer to her as "Sick Em". Ex acting like a butt get Sick Em! Oh and on top of the fact she did in one court appearance what I tried to accomplish with my past lawyer for years and $56K+, the retainer I paid was not even half used! So I got a refund! That has never happened to me with a lawyer before! (I use lawyers ALL the time)

I retained Ms. Harkins to represent me on a case in Fairfax County and I was very happy with her. She was very patient with me. She returned all my calls and emails quickly. She is very competent and was kind to me and my family throughout the case.

I have the pinnacle of a deadbeat ex-husband. Many think they have it, but mine can take the cake against anything you have faced. He's talented that way. One day he seems to have woken up and decided to sue me for full custody. I had a lawyer previously who was too nice. He felt I was being unreasonable, and I think Mary did too before she met him. He had not paid child support in, well... ever. He had not seen our child in years, and lost his legal rights about 3 years before this case. Mary and I only had a few brief conversations before the court date, and as I said I think she thought I was being unreasonable before she met my ex. The reason we only talked briefly was because I fired my former lawyer and their was a short amount of time we has once we were in touch with each other, and it was what I wanted. I am sure she would have made time if we had it to talk before the court appearance. Mary met with him before the case, and he agreed to pay more than he owed in back child support! I was thrilled, they amended the support to a higher amount than he was previously ordered to pay, and he agreed to garnishment. This was nothing short of a miracle. Mary again asked me if I was willing to give him some visitation, or allow my child to travel to his place. I told Mary I would not let my ex have visitation, and I wanted it legally removed so that he did not think he had any rights. She told me she was not sure that would happen, but she would do what I asked. In the end he lost his physical custody too, but they allowed for a very limited visitation; to make it so he still had to pay child support! I had been asking for years to remove his rights, and the court felt sorry for him and my old council did not fight for me. I love this woman, and have sent LOTS of people her way! I referrer to her as "Sick Em". Ex acting like a butt get Sick Em! Oh and on top of the fact she did in one court appearance what I tried to accomplish with my past lawyer for years and $56K+, the retainer I paid was not even half used! So I got a refund! That has never happened to me with a lawyer before! (I use lawyers ALL the time)

I retained Ms. Harkins to represent me on a case in Fairfax County and I was very happy with her. She was very patient with me. She returned all my calls and emails quickly. She is very competent and was kind to me and my family throughout the case.

I met with Ms. Harkins and decided to hire her because she was very patient and took her time to answer all my questions. She did a very good job in my case and I will definitely use her, again if I have any other legal matters.
