Pender & Coward A Professional Corporation is a law firm established in 1889 with an office in Virginia Beach, VA. At this office location, there are 34 lawyers practicing banking and financial institutions, corporate law, community association and 23 other areas of law.
I was recommended to Pender & Coward during a very rough time and needed legal counsel that was going to speak on my behalf with passion. Two separate times I have utilized Pender & Coward attorney's and I would use them again if I needed to. I have recommended the firm to a friend who is currently utilizing their services and their response to me was "Thank you". If you need sound legal advice and someone to support you through a matter in your life, Pender & Coward are those attorney's.
First class organization with the utmost integrity, I highly recommended this Law firm.
Bretta Lewis was highly recommended by dozens of attorneys, due to her extensive experience, to help us win our custody case and she worked her magic to do just that! She was a force to be reckoned with from day 1! She not only helped my family and I get justice for my son, but she also helped instill better communications and accountability on my part so that my path forward will be a more amicable one. Bretta is thoughtful, intense, intelligent, and puts everyone involved in there place, including her client - so you can put your best foot forward and win your case! She is able to adapt to the unexpected and read people to bring out the truth! I admired the tremendous respect she has for her team, the courts, Judges, and profession at large. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a family lawyer. She taught me as much about recognizing my own faults as she did about the law and I am forever grateful to her!
I would recommend Bretta to anyone in need of family law help she is an amazing determined and compassionate lawyer. She took on my case when other lawyers would not. She is honest and will tell you to your face if things will work out or a new plan is needed and is straightforward. She is the reason my case was won through her determination and hardworking and never giving up her compassion and zeal to help never faltered. She is amazing at her job and knows her stuff if you need someone to fight for you it has to be Bretta she will do everything she can to help and strive for your case. I admire her commitment and effort she puts in especially in a case where not many would I ld try to fight.
Bretta Lewis has been a Godsend. She took on a difficult and emotional case, long after the case began. She faced a challenge when other attorneys would not. The hearing continued for another year and Ms. Lewis put her heart and soul in to it. Ms. Lewis was forthright from the beginning. She is a straight shooter but yet compassionate. She does not give you false hope, but she will fight to the bitter end and it paid off. She never waivered, she worked extremely hard, and she WON THE CASE!!!! I have the utmost respect and admiration for her. I do not think I can say enough about Ms. Lewis to convey how great of an attorney and person she is nor am I able to express my gratitude enough for what she put into this case. Bretta Lewis is truly an AMAZING attorney and you CANNOT go wrong hiring her. My only regret...I DID NOT HIRE HER SOONER!!!
I hired Anne first in 2013 for my divorce. She stuck with me through 10 years of custody cases. I hired someone else ONCE because I couldn't afford her. Biggest mistake I ever made. First case I ever lost. Hired her for the appeal and we won, easily. Most recent case was a hot mess with a GAL that didn't bother talking to a single witness or give a single fact in her recommendation against me (first one ever, in 10+ years...). Anne let her know she was ignoring some crucial history that helped a bit. In the end, the GAL was still awful and there was nothing we could do about that. That said, Anne was still amazing and I don't regret hiring her EVER.
Kathryn Byler has provided me with superior legal advice, guidance and representation for over 15 years. I have complete faith in her judgement and she is always the first person I call when I need legal assistance of any kind. She has personally represented me on contract disputes, estate planning and traffic matters.
I worked with Kathryn Byler on both real estate and estate planning. I have used her services multiple times. The reason I have repeatedly used Ms. Byler is she is simply the best in every detail. I believe I will continue to work with her because the results are always reliable. Her staff is also a please to work with in all details. Very responsive and professional.
