Hired Attorney Maryse C. Allen

My case was a rare occurrence and Maryse took it on with clear expectations. I was able to secure shared custody of my nephew which is a rare outcome. Maryse always provided sound advice and helped me through each step of the process. Her professionalism and guidance was excellent. I highly recommend her for those seeking a highly regarded attorney.

Hired Attorney Maryse C. Allen

Maryse Allen is the best of the best – she’s strategic, competent, responsive, compassionate, and perhaps most importantly, highly effective in the courtroom! When my then-husband asked me for a divorce in 2019, I knew I needed an exceptional lawyer that I could trust to serve as my advocate for what would become years of protracted litigation. I interviewed five top lawyers from across Northern Virginia and quickly decided on Maryse. Because we routinely prevail, my litigious ex-husband continues to drag me back to court. Over the past nearly four years, Maryse has represented me, repeatedly demonstrating her profound grasp of family law in a client-centered/human-centric way. High-conflict divorce takes a huge emotional toll and in Maryse, I found a lawyer who listens and has my back. I also deeply appreciate her iterative approach to my case, where I am a co-collaborator. She offers me options along with sound legal advice, and then we talk through various approaches, weighing t

I was represented by Ms. Kris Wenberg from Compton & Duling in a divorce/child custody case. Kris did a remarkable job and I could not be happier with the outcome. My case took over a year to be tried and during that period, Kris gave my case an overwhelming amount of time despite the fact that she was also working with other clients. My life has been changed forever.

Hired Law Firm

I opted to reach out to Compton & Duling, L.C. since I hadnt received any notice from them following my inquiry on lawyers.com. I was directed to someone for scheduling a consultation. The person that responded to my call sounded like an older woman. She was rude and incredibly ignorant to the fact that if someone is calling for a consultation they may not know a specific lawyer to request. I recommend you address this persons poor professional bed-side manner. "Good morning" and "How can I assist you?" are wonderfully supportive comments to people who are seeking assistance.

Hired Attorney Jason E. Hickman

Jason Hickman did a terrible job on my legal situation. It was not a large case for him I am sure but it was a lot of money for us and afterwards we had to hire another attorney to fix and remediate what he did so it cost us another 6 thousand dollars!! He was slow in getting things done, showed no initiative and then it had to be redone anyway. I emailed him and expressed my disappoint in the job and asked for a refund but of course he has not responded. Not surprised! He was terrible!!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

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.
