Nick helped me won my divorce case. He is such a wonderful trial attorney. He is charismatic and articulates his points very well at trial. Going through a contest divorce is very hard, Nick and his team provided me strong support. He is intelligent, professional, personal, reasonable, ethical and passionate.

I hired Mr. Solan for a visitation case and he answered all questions that I had throughout the entire process. This turned into a change of custody case due to Mr. Solan's efforts. Mr. Solan was very eloquent in his delivery in the court room and I am very pleased at what Mr. Solan was able to have granted for my family and I. I would highly recommend Mr. Solan for any case in regards to custody and visitation.

Helped with reviewing my prenup. Very straightforward during consult; once hired, provided insightful and substantive inputs and considerations for the prenup. Used "plain language" in document reviews and convos with me to keep it understandable. Looked out for my interests, but didn't Great support office staff as well - very responsive. Highly recommended. In fact, my wife has already recommended him to one of her co-workers.

It is unusual to find an attorney who understands the difficulty in divorcing a narcissist. Mr. Solan understood what I was dealing with and cut through the mess of an uncooperative spouse. He was the second lawyer I hired because the cost of my first attorney keep increasing with no solution. Mr. Solan was very professional, knowledgeable, and just down right smart with a lot of charisma. He is definitely the best attorney in VA (yes the entire state!). He was prompt, professional and clear in his recommendations. Always treated me with respect and helped me understand my options. He made a difficult legal experience, manageable. I highly recommend him if you are ever in need of legal services in the future, you won't go wrong with Mr. Solan. Thank you!

Attorney Solan was perfect for my custody modification case. As a man, it is very intimidating to even think of challenging a woman in a custody modification case. Before Attorney Solan's involvement, my son's mother believed that the custody agreement was hers to control and not an order in the best interest of our son. Attorney Solan's strategy exposed how my son's mother was violating the custody agreement and doing things that were not in the best interest of our son; as such, she put herself in jeopardy of potentially losing her 50/50 shared custody and having me be the sole custodian for our son. Since Attorney Solan got involved in my custody case, my son's mother has changed the tone of her emails, shown more willingness to co-parent on academic and other issues, and is doing things keep our son out of co-parenting discussions. He was firm with opposing counsel when I needed to show we meant business but strategic enough to know when to compromise. When it comes to fees, I was always surprised to see a bill with no "fluff." He and his team billed only for real worked performed. They were reasonable with fees at every turn. Attorney Solan helped me stay focused on what was important, helping opposing counsel agree to a settlement of a custody modification that kept us out of court and provided a framework for my son's mother and I to potentially do additional adjustments without the court’s intervention. Glad I had him on my team!

Anyone who is going through divorce or other legal issues surrounding family knows how crucial it is to find the right attorney who will give you honest, sincere advice and steer your case in the right direction. There is a lot that can go wrong in Family Court and having a good attorney is the single most important factor that can make or break your seemingly simple case. I have nothing but praises for Nick and his team. I found Nick to be an extremely smart litigator, a trustworthy professional, and above all a genuinely good person. Furthermore, he has a top-notch team who worked with me every step of the way during my divorce and custody litigation and kept me well-informed at all times. I would highly recommend Nick and his team to anyone in need of legal representation.

Nick helped me with a child support and custody case and he did a great job. What is important for me is responsiveness, responding to my emails/questions in a timely manner, and Nick did that and more. I have a multiple attorneys before, and I know that a good attorney is not always easy to find. I can recommend Nick without hesitation. One of the other Attorneys in his office named Andrew Hoffman handled the later phase of the case, and he also did a super good job! Extremely reliable, friendly and a very smart attorney. Best of all, they do not overcharge for their service. Both of these guys are highly recommended!

Nicholas Solan represented my family in a visitation hearing on Dec 18, 2019. The case involved my Grandson’ s mother requesting court ordered visitation with him after 5 years. My husband, son, and I share full physical and legal custody of my grandson since 2014 after the mother failed to appear in court on 3 separate occasions. This was one of the most difficult experiences to go through because you do not have control and cannot foretell the outcome. Nicholas’ prowess before and during the hearing was noteworthy. His efforts in court resulted in us getting the most optimal results possible. He is professional, composed, and organized and did an outstanding job. More importantly, his confidence and attention to detail had a calming affect for me. My grandson will now have an opportunity to have the best possible life with a complete “Village” supporting him. I would absolutely partner and retain Nicholas again were we to have a need. He is an excellent attorney. I highly recommend him.

After a long separation, custody issues, and multiple attorneys, I was grateful to find and work with Nick Solan to finalize my divorce. The entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and patient through "my" process and negotiated to resolve the issues well, avoiding litigation. Both Nick and Cora were kind, compassionate, patient, knowledgeable, responsive and made me feel like a person and not a number in the divorce mill. I recommend this team if you want a more personal experience through a difficult process.

Mr. Solan was my first lawyer. Mixing with the law is not something I enjoy, and I know I've got the right man and team to support my best interests, if the need should surface again. He was prompt, professional and clear in his recommendations. Always treated me with respect and helped me understand my options. He made a difficult legal experience, manageable and though at times I had worries, Mr. Solan was my guard every step of the way. I highly recommend him and know I've got an Ace if I'm ever in need of legal services in the future. Thank you!
