About

I enjoy working with clients to find solutions to their unique circumstances and assist them as they move through a different phases of life. I see my most important role as that of problem solver. Each case is different and calls for its own approach. I discuss a variety of options with each client to help them find the best approach to resolve their case.  I am originally from Upstate New York, where I attended Colgate University.  I moved to DC to attend The George Washington University Law School and have been here ever since.  During law school, I was a regulatory intern and also worked on large-scale litigation projects.  Since graduating from law school and taking the bar, I have focused on working with families and clients on a one-on-one basis.   I am very active in local bar associations, including the Virginia Women Attorneys Association, Collaborative Professionals of Northern Virginia, and the Fairfax Bar Association. Establishing relationships with my peers and judges enables me to do the best work for my clients.

Virginia has been handling my case over the years as situations change. She has been gone over and above what I had expected i would recommend her to anyone in need of a great attorney.

Virginia Haizlip came very highly referred to me by a friend who had worked with her in the past and was familiar with complexity of my custody case. After having worked with Virginia, I now know what makes her such an outstanding attorney. She is one of the most forthcoming, honest, highly skilled in her field, and incredibly detail oriented attorney I know. Above all, she cares about her client like no other I have met before. I wholeheartedly recommend Virginia to anyone in need of her services. Virginia Haizlip is clearly in a league of her own.

We can't thank Virginia enough for helping my family successfully navigate through the guardianship process for our incapacitated, elderly mother. Although the process was at times stressful, Virginia's calm, professional and compassionate demeanor helped put us at ease.

To anyone who is considering or looking for a fantastic, understanding and a calm navigator through estate law...you have found it in Ms Haizlip. My father passed unexpectedly and the will created a lot of family angst and Virginia guided me through it all. The final transactions went smoothly and calmly which I was afraid that it wouldn't. I was informed through out the whole process. I can't say enough good things about the process through something so emotionally charged.

Virginia and her team did a great job helping me settle part of my mom's estate after she passed away this winter. Her service was timely and efficient, and the rates for the service were reasonable. Thank you so much for your help during this difficult time.

I hired Virginia on a recommendation and I was not disappointed. She was attentive, responded to my questions quickly and thoroughly, and helped me fully understand the divorce process. She provided pragmatic and beneficial advise at all turns and executed my divorce expeditiously.

Virginia was a godsend during a very difficult time in my life. She was sympathetic to my situation, listening and understanding and helping me make solid decisions. At the same time she was savvy and tough dealing with my problems and achieving a settlement with which I am happy. I am very grateful to Virginia and would hire her again if needed.

Virginia helped me through a very painful divorce. She was kind and understanding. She was so patient with all my unending questions. There were so many times, I just wanted to give up all my rights and walk away but she kept me on course. She provided guidance, counsel and kept my needs front and center. I could not imagine going through this process with anyone else. Virginia came highly recommended from a mutual friend. If you want a lawyer who listens, offers terrific guidance and always has your best interest at heart, Virginia is the one. I interviewed several lawyers before I hired her and she was outstanding.

I can't say enough about how good this attorney was to me. She helped me from the start of the separation all the way through the divorce. I've had some really rough moments and I am sure I wasn't always pleasant to deal with but Virginia was calming and reassuring every step of the way. In the end, I got all that I wanted and even more. I am so grateful for all that she and her assists did for me!
