Beckman Schmalzle Georgelas & Ross, PLC

"I had a free consultation with Mr. Ryan Schmalzle today. He decided, and I agreed, that it is not worth pursuing my medical malpractice case. However, i was touched by how well he listened to me, and how much he expressed empathy with my medical condition, that i felt compelled to write this review."

"After having experience with three different attorneys in Loudoun County, I can say that I finally found the right match. A firm with integrity, intelligence and a commitment to their clients. Elizabeth Ross was fantastic to work with. She was very responsive, focused, and knowledgeable about the divorce process. Never did she cause undue delays (added expenses like other attorneys). Her paralegal, Jenny, was always helpful, pleasant and easy to work with as well. Elizabeth was calm and professional during what can only be called a very stressful storm, and I would highly recommend her and her team."

"I strongly recommend this firm, specifically Elizabeth Ross. Working with her and her paralegal Jenny Peshoff through the negotiations of my separation agreement and final court submissions made a very difficult and emotional process so much easier and comforting. Ms. Ross was very upfront about my chances but very encouraging for what ended up being the best outcome for me. Very reassuring when I was being discouraged, funny when I needed a little laugh and very responsive and professional."

"I retained Ryan after i had crossed the rubicon in what was to be a protracted, painful and difficult divorce proceeding with a high conflict spouse. He was clear and goal oriented while at the some understanding of my situation and worked with me to set a strategy that would affect the split while always keeping the best interests of the children first. Court is an adversarial process - and i was glad Ryan was sitting at my table. The process took a very long time. We seemed to hit every high conflict benchmark along the way - and throughout Ryan was logical and calm and presented at times complex information and scenarios in a way that could be understood and an action plan for protecting my interests. He knows the people that operate in the Loudoun cty system - the judges, attorney's, expert witnesses etc. He did not waste time (which is money). I had a few emergency scenarios where i had to call him after normal business hours - which he was able to do and sort out. He knows the law - and helps you to know what you must while in this process. This was without a doubt the hardest thing i ever had to do - Ryan met the challenges as they came and doesnt B.S you - he's not cheap - but the costs of not having him would have been much much more."

"Ryan Schmalzle represented me in my divorce which spanned over several years. His knowledge of the divorce process, other lawyers in the area and of the Loudoun judges was first rate. Many lawyers prefer not to litigate, but Ryan represented me well in the courtroom. His negotiating skills helped me get more from my ex than anticipated. I recommend Ryan without reservation."
