We had an excellent experience working with Blake Frieman on a real estate transaction. A partner at Latham & Watkins referred us to Blake, and he provided incredibly timely, helpful, and thoughtful support. He quickly understood our goals, developed documents, and then navigated us through the process. I also appreciated his transparency about pricing and his team's easy payment portal. Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of working with Philip M. Schwartz of Bean, Kinney & Korman, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Mr. Schwartz specializes in small businesses, with a deep expertise in dentistry and dental practices. He assisted me with the purchase of my dental office in Vienna, Virginia, and the experience exceeded all expectations.

Throughout the process, Phil was a true professional—kind, resourceful, and always quick to respond to my questions. His knowledge of the complexities of dental business transactions was impressive, and his guidance was invaluable. He made what could have been a daunting process feel smooth and straightforward.

On top of his expertise, his pricing was fair and transparent. I was shocked at how amazing it was to work with him. I highly recommend Phil to any dentist looking for legal services, and I will certainly be referring him to all my colleagues in the dental field.

I've used Jill Siefferth at Bean Kinney for help with my special needs son to take care of his needs and she was accurate, professional, kind and effective - I appreciate her and would recommend her to anyone looking for Family court needs in Arlington.

Lynn Hawkins acted as a mediator for us in a "simple" estate issue. Not only did Lynn review our issue ahead of time, but she was well-versed in our case so that she was very efficient with our time and capital. This is a welcome touch of class in what is often a feared event!!

My divorce was finalized in December 2022 and I cannot express enough gratitude for Theresa Mihalik’s advice and support through this very difficult process. At this point in time, my son is doing well in school, my ex-spouse and I are working well together in co-parenting, and I am able to move on with my life as a single person. Through this process, I came to understand that Theresa’s approach was to optimize the well-being of my family as it was being reconfigured through separation and divorce as well as obtain a fair division of marital property. This consideration of all the aspects of two people going through divorce (far beyond financial) allowed the healing and recovery process to start before the divorce was finalized. Theresa provided expert legal advice and counsel in a compassionate and pragmatic manner to eliminate or minimize drama and disputes with my former spouse. I am now in a much better place, much earlier, thanks to Theresa.

We are so pleased with the great work of Jill Seiferth and her assistant Fariha in our quest to legally adopt our daughter for whom we had been guardians since her birth. Their compassion and professionalism were first class. In our discussion, the price quoted was reasonable. Jill didn't charge us a nickel more than necessary and we received a refund when the engagement came in under the price quoted. We wholly recommend this firm!

I recently needed legal representation for a custody trial and was referred to Christian Lapham. After one conversation with Christian, I was confident that this was the attorney that I wanted to represent me. He is a brilliant attorney who focuses on the best interest of your child and handles family manners with unmatched empathy and professionalism. Christian is passionate about his work, and that became increasingly apparent to me as my trial date approached.

Although Christian is a proven litigator, he focuses on finding the best solution for you and your family. Christian suggested that while my ex and I prepared for trial, it would be beneficial to both parties to try to mediate in parallel. Christian was able to work with my ex's attorney to make this possible and referred us to a mediator. We were able to come to an agreement a few days before our court date that miraculously pleased both my child’s father and me. This would not have been possible without Christian’s heavy involvement in our communications during settlement negotiations. He is assertive and will be firm when necessary. I appreciated that Christian maintained his composure during emotional conversations with the opposition. I genuinely believe his demeanor and consistency is what drove us to the negotiated result.

As far as cost, yes, Christian is expensive. However, the process of negotiating for time with my child was scary and unnerving, and having the support of Christian throughout was invaluable. He is efficient with his time and is fair with his billing. I appreciated that he took the time to explain the billing process to me, avoiding surprises at the end of the month.

As the trial date approached and more involvement from Christian's colleagues became necessary, I was introduced to Michelle Beiber. I was impressed by Michelle's ability to jump in mid-case and support with impact. All of the colleagues I worked with were bright, passionate, and knowledgeable. I felt confident having the backing of a full and qualified legal team.

My experience with Bean, Kinney & Korman was above and beyond my expectations. Going through a difficult divorce, it was nice to feel the support from the staff at the office. From the receptionists, to the attorneys, this firm is organized and thorough. I always felt that my needs were immediately addressed, and financially, the hourly fees were affordable and well worth it.

Christian Lapham is an honest attorney that is extremely fair and knowledgeable. It is wonderful when an attorney is not only able to empathize, but also able to guide you in making the best decisions for your future and your life.

I strongly recommend this firm to anyone looking for a great attorney in the area.
