Strentz Greene & Coleman, PLC

If kelly greene is your court appointed attorney you are SCREWED! Unprofessional secretary who will take your information when you call and respond with "k cool ill have her call you" she will have documents notarized in your absence without you having ever even met the notary.She will tell you not to show up to court dates that clearly you were supposed to go to. She will not even show up for all of your scheduled court dates or even bother to contact you to tell you she isn't showing up. She will not look out for your best interest nor will she explain fully the papers she has you sign under duress but will then claim she fully explained during meetings that never happened. It will be nearly impossible to get in contact with her unless you literally back to back call her office even after promised weekly updates that never happened and if you file a complaint against her...she will break her code of ethics while attacking your character with information that should be covered by lawyer client confidentiality. If you are court appointed this attorney you would be better off representing yourself.

I used this firm for a child custody case. The custody case went well, however I didnt get a lot of coaching on the interrogatory questions. My only complaint was getting $1500.00 a month child support payment. I am a paramedic who makes 60,000 dollars a year if Im lucky. I pay more in child support than some one who makes $200,000 a year. I believe this to be the fault of the lawyers and the Judge who heard the case. It is an absolute crippling payment and I had no option to appeal. This error was critical and has put me in extreme financial struggles requiring me two work two full time jobs. I would use another firm who spends more time with the client try to protect their them. For a man find someone who will focus specifically on Mens rights in divorce. Virginia is very hard on men in custody cases.

This firm is terrible! I was trying to settle an unwed separation. The attorney (Brenda) I retained made zero effort to keep me informed of my email contact with her until I sent one insisting that the circumstances of the contact immediately be changed. They say they will give you a regular statement of your balance regarding services charged, but it was three months between statements I received, even thought the paralegal told me they send them out every two weeks. I had to call after two months to find out there was a charge to my account. On top of that, I sent two emails to my attorney regarding my situation, the second being a change to circumstances. When she finally sent me a draft of my settlement, it was based off of the first email, and had nothing included from the revised email. She didnt pay attention or adhere to my information sent to her, nor were there answers to my questions. It was carelessly put together, and the paralegals never sent my statements as they said they would. Find another firm.

Brenda Greenes knowledge and understanding of family law and the care she took with my situation has been unsurpassable.
