Ms. Maiden was an absolute godsend during my divorce. After a really frustrating experience with my previous attorney, I was honestly overwhelmed and unsure who to trust. I met with many attorneys in the Hampton Roads area, and I knew right away she was THE ONE. She not only genuinely cares, she truly knows what she’s doing. Her experience and confidence were obvious from day one, and she handled everything with clarity, strategy, and precision. I never felt like just another case. She took the time to understand me, made me feel supported, and stepped in to clean up a mess without missing a beat. She fought for me in a way I truly don’t think anyone else would have. I can’t imagine getting through this without her. I’m so grateful for everything she did for me and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. She is the real deal… exceptional at what she does and someone you absolutely want in your corner!

Besianne is a lawyer that exudes the foundational nuggets of what it means to be a true crusader for justice. She removed the formality of what is considered norms for a legal relationship and met me where I stood—as a mother fighting for their child. Besianne is one of a kind and a true trailblazer for her clients ensuring to build upon the truth, honesty and integrity. From past experiences with seeking legal counsel, I have never met someone quite like Besianne for she counseled with genuine concern for the best interest of my child and grandchild using great tenacity and will to ensure that the truth would surface in its true essence. Words can never begin to express my gratitude nor level of respect I have for Besianne and the barrier breaking work she performed. She provided comfort and assurance throughout the process to which my trust or confidence never wavered. Her pleasant and straightforward mannerisms dried many tears and effectuated great smiles!

Working with Besianne was step above the normal with seeking legal counsel. Mrs. Maiden is professional, honest, determined and simply put amazing! From our first encounter she gave facts and conversed with me as a human and made me feel comfortable and secure in her determination to fight for me and my family. Mrs. Maiden provided a level of respect and honesty that I've never encountered before. She not only informed me but educated me on my rights, options and her mastermind of a plan to win my case using the simple truth. I appreciate her desire, passion and respect for the law and mostly her will to win. Besianne is no longer considered just my legal counsel but a friend that will only continue to build on honesty and trust through every communication. Her office is organized and very tactful in keeping you updated with new information that may become available and will certainly welcome you with open arms. Besianne carries her passion on her shoulders and walks with confidence.

Mrs. Maiden is a power house lawyer she knows what she is doing and will fight the best fight for you. After dealing with a court appointed lawyer, who I felt was doing the bare minimum I reached out to Mrs. Maiden who name was given to me. From our first appointment I knew she was the one and yes she proved me to be right. To see her fight for you in the courtroom is amazing and she tells you what to expect and how the law works weather it's good or bad, she doesn't take short cuts, she's straight and up front. When looking at my grandkids I can't help but to be thankful for the great job Mrs. Maiden done.THAN YOU FROM MY FAMILY

Bes has been an amazing lawyer during my custody case. She has taken so much time to make sure I understand everything, help me through all my anxieties, and empower me. She truly cares about my case and seeing that I am not taken advantage of. She's very understanding, honest, and sensible. She is a clear communicator and I have had no problems in reaching her when I need to talk to her. She has also been very fair in her pricing. I love Bes!!!

Navigating family law is a lengthy, difficult and time consuming process. What sets Besianne Maiden apart is her experience, tenacity and telling her clients what they need to hear vs. what they might want to hear. She's a teacher as much as an attorney, guiding her clients to do the right things even if those are the hardest things to do. As my advocate and voice, Besianne Maiden demonstrated incredible patience for me and brought a sensible ferocity to meetings and discussions. She understands the system but more importantly, she understands people in a way that makes her the best attorney to have on your side.

Bes was awesome! She was genuine, always honest with me and did a fantastic job. Communication with her office (Brigitte is phenomenal) was always good and I am happy with the outcome of my case. Couldn't recommend her more.

I have been using Bes for over 4 years for a very complicated child custody and divorce case and I could not have chosen anyone better. Bes had been very informative, responsive, professional and diligent. She is compassionate caring and put you right at ease. Highly recommended!
