Friedman, Grimes, Meinken & Leischner PLLC

One of the benefits of my job is a free hour with an attorney. After the passing of my wife in January and trying to figure out Virginia's estate laws, I gave up and was very lucky to get an appointment with Mr. Wade. His office was very easy to find, the office atmosphere was quiet but busy and the receptionist was very nice. I arrived a bit early and was actually seen before my scheduled time. Mr. Wade answered all of my questions along with explaining why the Virginia code worked the way it did. He gave me advice on what to look out for, as widows and widowers are often prime targets for fraud and such during this time. With the information I provided, his recommendation was not to go to probate (which matched the information from my own research too.) After an hour I knew what my next steps would be and felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I felt he was very honest and was straightforward about whether or not I needed to continue to see him. He could have easily racked up additional hours but didn't do anything of the sort. We finished up, he gave me his business card and let me know that if I had any questions to please contact him. Of course, this time it wouldn't be free, but I would definitely go back to Mr. Wade and strongly recommend that you check him out.

Ms. Wade, as represents this firm, is truly a blessing as an attorney. She and her staff proves the professional and serious support for client legal matters. Ms. Wade upholds her Oath as an Attorney, her honest and frank service to clients leaves room for no confusion. She gets to the point of matters and performs for swift resolution. Honorable to witness her sharp, and straight-shooter approach in the courtroom to get client and legal matters "Right". Ms. Wade brings a fair and ethical composure into the courtroom; carrying for clients honest representation. Her morals, ethics and values show in pursuit of ensuring, swift, fair and just results in legal resolution. Case and Client Focused. Fair and Reasonable Costs.

A number of years ago, Gretchyn Meinken helped me resolve my sister's estate--something that should have been a simple matter but for the interference of an out of state extended family member. To ensure everything was done right by the state of Virginia, I engaged Ms. Meinken who professionally dealt with the claims brought by the interfering party's counsel, who may have been less experienced in family and estate law than Gretchen, but with whom she worked patiently, but as efficiently as possible, to make sure all parties were confident in the lawful outcome. I will always be grateful to Gretchyn for the service she provided during a difficult time. And it is with no hesitation I can wholeheartedly recommend her!

I met with David Hagan for a consultation and he was incredibly helpful, genuine, informative, and honest! I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family. He looks out for the best interest of the client.

I have hired Mr. Wade as my attorney on several occasions. I rely on his sound legal advice and council for many years. The staff and supporting council offer the highest quality of service and integrity. I count my relationship with Mr. Wade as one of my greatest assets.

My wife and I realized we needed to update our wills/POAs/estate plan/etc after a career/life change (I retired from the military/fed govt and joined the private sector and my wife went back into elementary school teaching). Not only was Guy very organized and detailed, he was extremely patient and timely as he helped us navigate a process that can be overwhelming. I STRONGLY recommend Guy if/when the time is right for these type of legal services. We will definitely stay in touch with him over the foreseeable future as our 4 kids grow up and/or we have any other life changes.

I had the pleasure of retaining Attorney Rebecca Wade several times since 2016. She is awesome. I wouldn't seek the advice from any other attorney in Northern Virginia. Highly recommended.
