Roop Xanttopoulos Babounakis PLLC got this award in 2021
OUTSTANDING family law firm, especially Jennifer Babounakis. I would rate her as THE BEST family law attorney in Fairfax County for contested custody battles, and consider her firm as one of the top 3. Please tell her that Elyse Osterweil recommended her for the best possible experience. I have interviewed, consulted, hired, and/or witnessed in court trials practically all of the most qualified family law attorneys in Fairfax County since winter of 2016 that money can buy, thus, feel very confident in stating this. She will defend you as she would a member of her family. I regret not choosing Roop Law and hiring her as my first attorney. She is kind, honest/ethical, highly knowledgeable and creative, trauma-informed/empathetic, excellent at mitigating conflict, used her time/resources very strategically, transparent, and so much more. In trials, she really surprised me with her very assertive opening statement, especially since she’s so kind and very personable in private.
Don't second guess working with Roop Law. David is a brilliant strategist, and his team is the best in the area. I worked with, and highly recommend, Komal Khan. She is laser focused, highly organized, efficient, responsive, and (appropriately and professionally) fierce in the courtroom when she needs to be. She prepares intensely for every court appearance and the judges know and respect that. She took my (divorce/custody/protective order for a minor) case very seriously, through multiple court appearances, and we were successful every time. Don't even think about it anymore. Call and ask for her. You're welcome ;) Best of luck to you!
David Roop is an extraordinary attorney. He is a unique professional in family law as he is sincerely passionate about your needs and deeply cares about his clients. David can think outside of the box and can pave various paths for you to choose from as you venture through your divorce journey. He can take a complex case with numerous issues and simply it so the judge or opposing counsel can get a grasp of the matters. David was able to paint a picture for the court of what myself and children had to endure, which I am most certain no other attorney would have been able to accomplish. A divorce is painful; however, if you want to feel confident, at ease and know you will have a person fighting tooth and nail for your cause, David is your attorney. This isn't just a day at the office for Mr. Roop, he understands this impacts the rest of your life...
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
