I provided detailed information and had a long consultation with Mr. Bonin for my divorce. Hope Rosen was representing my X-wife.
Hope Rosen joined ShounBach and therefore withdrew from the case but continued to privately counsel my X-wife and appear in court for post-divorce motions as witness!! Really?? Isn’t that called “Ghost Counseling” which is unprofessional, unethical and borderline illegal??
Wait it gets better, I saw Susan Butler sitting next to my X-wife and counseling her!!! Again how is that professional or ethical??
I have seen the reviews on Hope Rosen and ShounBack firm as a whole. It is quite obvious that Hope Rosen, Susan butler and the ShounBach firm as a whole have no respect for professional rules, professional conduct and professional ethics!!
Do you think they are going to respect your rights and your money?? I doubt it!!
Just look elsewhere!!
I hired Hayden Lee of this law firm. They charged me for things like "research". I spent close to $50,000 and all they did was tell me that being a father I had no chance in court. I got tired of arm twisting by my own lawyer. Not the right attorney if you have a contentious matter and want strong representation in court of your rights as a father. They are good at writing lengthy letters to opposing counsel (at client's expense).
I highly recommend Dan Schy. Dan was great in the courtroom and his knowledge during the proceedings were instrumental in securing the outcome I wanted. Dan and his team were professional, thoughtful and kind throughout the entire process and made a very difficult situation less painful.
Great family law attorneys! I've worked with several of the attorneys in this firm over the years as a private practice psychologist, and I've always been impressed by their knowledge base, maturity and client care. I highly recommend them!

I highly recommend Dan Schy to anyone in need of a compassionate and intelligent attorney. My divorce included many complicated issues and Dan capably navigated through each one. His calm demeanor, confidence, and sense of humor were a breath of fresh air during a very trying time. I'm so happy he was my attorney.
Molly Garrett is a shining example of what a family law attorney should be - knowledgeable, personable, responsive, and a steady hand during emotional circumstances. Molly became my attorney after the passing of Ed Walinsky. Ed guided me through a difficult divorce and ensuing child custody issues, and when Molly took over my case, it was as if she had been involved the entire time. She worked really hard to ensure that I experienced no break in receiving outstanding support. Molly provided exceptional legal advice and practical guidance as we dealt with a myriad of child support issues through the years. I agree with the many other client testimonials about ShounBach's professionalism and ethics, and want to complement them on having Molly Garrett as a part of the ShounBach team.
I hired Hayden Oliver Lee of this law firm who represented me very poorly. They are very good at running up the bill.
I retained ShounBach to prepare a property settlement agreement and to process my divorce documents through the appropriate County Circuit Court in Virginia. I am exceedingly satisfied and indebted to ShounBach for its handling of my family matter. My case was complicated because my ex-spouse is not a U.S. citizen and lives abroad. Nevertheless, Al Bonin was able to work out a property settlement and draft the final agreement within three weeks of my initial consultation. Kathleen Hassett and her support staff prepared my divorce documents and guided me through the process of having the documents signed and notarized. We were set back initially due to the reluctance of a U.S. Embassy abroad to notarize my ex-spouse’s waiver of service. Kathleen and her support staff addressed this issue within a matter of hours, and we were successful in obtaining the proper notarization. My Final Divorce Order was signed by a judge within one week of Kathleen submitting my package of documents to the appropriate County Circuit Court. The support staff at ShounBach—especially Jessica DeVaughn, Cindy Brown, Amanda Hutchison, and Patricia Palmer—were great to work with. My divorce was Final within the original projected dollar amount and time estimated by Al Bonin during the initial consultation. ShounBach is a professional, highly responsive, reputable, and ethical law firm. I unreservedly recommend them for handling family matters, whether those matters are domestic to the U.S. or International in nature.
Hayden Lee represented me for my recent divorce case and I was pleased with my overall experience. Having never gone through a legal exchange of this nature before, and trying to conduct it from out of state, I didn't really know what to expect. But, I was very happy with Lee's support and his responsiveness. I would recommend him as a basic divorce attorney to family and friends.
I am very pleased with the entire team that worked on my divorce case at ShounBach. Unfortunately, my case presented many unique and challenging issues, but they were addressed effectively and ethically by my very competent lawyers. Divani Nadaraja was lead attorney on my case and Hayden Lee became a critical part of the team as well. My confidence and trust in my lawyers grew throughout the long and difficult process. Uncontrollable factors made things unavoidably expensive, but I did feel that my lawyers did what they could to minimize cost when possible. ShounBach came highly recommended to me and I am very happy that I took the advice.
