Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Jim Livesay is the BEST military divorce attorney in the area. His knowledge and expertise on crucial issues in a military divorce surpasses all others. His foresight in preparing my divorce documents protected my portion of retired pay from being reduced or lost in military laws regarding retired pay. Without his expertise, the outcome of my divorce settlement would have been disastrous. Whether you are the former spouse or military member, you want Jim Livesay on your side! He knows the law!
While living in Virginia, I required the legal counsel of Mr. Livesay, J.D. At a critical point in my life, when all the chips were down--- Mr. Livesay led me through an absolute minefield! I don't like to give up control when it comes to business decisions; however, I'm VERY satisfied that I handed over an assortment of legal woes to the counsel of Mr. Livesay. Thank you!
James Livesay is an outstanding attorney. I received personal attention, prompt responses, and an overall positive experience from beginning to end. His expertise in military law pushed my case forward with a result better than I could have imagined. In addition, I was able to keep my legal fees at a minimum. If I am ever in need of an attorney again, I will be absolutely contact James Livesay.
I have dealt with this firm for over ten years, very professional, do what they say they are going to do and excellent advisors. I can't recommend this firm more highly.
We embarked on a sad but friendly end of our 23-year marriage. We were in complete agreement on all aspects of the divorce and wanted one firm who could handle the process with respect and professionalism even though we knew the firm could only represent one of us. Livesay & Myers did an incredible job throughout and concluded the process smoothly, efficiently, and with the professionalism that helped protect a friendship. We have and will continue to recommend them to others.
My divorce was the hardest thing I have had to go through. It was an emotionally trying time, Mr. Livesay wasn't just a lawyer he felt like a friend. And that's what I needed at that crucial time.
Mr. Livesay, along with the law firm of Livesay and Myers, has always been there to answer any of my legal questions/concerns. I value consistency of service, along with competence and comfort level with whom I have business dealings. Wanting versus needing legal advice, can put you in a precarious position. However, when needing legal advice, I would strongly suggest utilizing the services of Livesay and Myers, preferably before your "adversary" does.
