Nichols Zauzig - Woodbridge, Virginia

I found myself in need of a divorce attorney during one of the most challenging times of my life. I chose to use Cassandra Chin at Nichols Zauzig because of her reputation for not only being skilled in family law/divorce but also for providing client-centered service. From the start, Cassandra had deep knowledge of the law and the next steps to take to ensure safety and stability for 1 year old my daughter and I.

Throughout the process, Cassandra and her team were incredibly responsive, explaining each step in detail, answering all of my questions, and keeping me informed at all times. They professionally advised me by providing clear, practical advice, helping me navigate the legal process and make decisions that were in my best interest. One thing that stood out in particular, was Cassandra's ability to ensure you feel heard and understood, while managing the emotional and financial aspects of a divorce. They were always patient, empathetic, and professional, making a difficult experience as manageable as possible.

To anyone who is considering hiring a family lawyer, I would wholeheartedly recommend Cassandra Chin. Her expertise, dedication, and personal approach truly made a difference in my case. It's not just about having a skilled attorney; it's about having someone who genuinely cares about your future. I felt supported and confident throughout the entire process, and I’m grateful for her guidance.

My wife and I hired the Nicols Zauzig team after I was paralyzed in a very serious car accident. This case had two parts, dealing with the insurance companies and then dealing with the trial of the driver who hit me. Claire Keena handled the insurance settlements and Paul Nichols guided us through the legal part of things. Claire was very thorough and responsive to our needs. She helped us through the very complicated process of dealing with insurance claims - both health insurance and auto insurance. Her private investigator was able to uncover some very important facts that helped us reach a settlement. Carrie Constable, Claire's paralegal, was also incredibly kind and helpful throughout the process. When it came time to deal with the trial of the reckless, unlicensed and barely insured driver who paralyzed me, Paul was great. His decades of experience allowed him to advocate for me as much as possible. It was very comforting to have someone as kind and caring as Paul in our corner. If you ever need a lawyer, please call the team at Nichols Zauzig....you won't be disappointed.

I dont know about the other lawyers there, but If you want to be screwed over hire Malanie Rice there.
I was referred to her as my attorney during my Divorce and literally I was fighting with my Ex, her lawyer and Ms. Rice at the same time.
And she pushed me for a settlement where I got all the debt, and my Ex got all the money,my paid off car and half of everything.
That lawyer got no clue if you are married abroad. Trust me the moment you hire them they will put a vacume cleaner in your wallet

Hiring Andrew Taylor as my attorney was the best decision I made when filing for divorce. My case was complicated, including numerous filings and hearings leading to a multi-day trial related to my divorce, child custody and support. He also handled my J&DR Court hearings to secure a Protective Order for my children and I. Andrew knows the law thoroughly and his experience in the courtroom meant he gave me very sound advice. After trying diligently to settle with the other side, it became clear we would have to go to trial. This meant months strategically prioritizing and timing the work on discovery, depositions, expert witnesses, coordination with the Guardian Ad Litem (GAL), minor children testifying to the judge in chambers, and supplementary legal negotiations. Andrew and his paralegal, Shannon, expertly managed all of this. They are truly good people and a delightful team: I trust them implicitly.

Prior to my divorce trial, I presented Andrew with a 20-point list of what I wanted the judge to grant me. Andrew’s deep understanding of what the court would be looking for with regard to the best interest of my children, quantifying asset/debt values, jurisdiction, case law, & how that lined up with the fact patterns in my case meant success: what the judge granted me after the trial was beyond my expectations.

Even though I was the one who chose to file for divorce, it was daunting emotionally. Sometimes I just wanted to give up the fight for what I knew I was legally allowed. However, Andrew Taylor is a thoughtful, empathetic person who clearly sees his role as one to help families navigate when they are facing hard realities. Andrew did everything to advocate for me & my children. My family & I have gone from surviving to thriving; we now live in a peaceful, joyful home.

I highly recommend you speak with Andrew Taylor; whether your case is a simple one or more complex, to make sure all issues are properly addressed now and for your future.

I was looking for an attorney to help me finalize a divorce in VA and since the first consultation I had with one of the attorneys, I felt very comfortable and all my answers/concerns were answered. Ms. Randell is very knowledgeable and she was very responsive to any questions or concerns I had. I 100% recommend her and her team!!

When it became clear to me that my custody & child support situation was not going to come to a resolution without the courts getting involved, I was referred to Nichols Zauzig by a family friend who had previously had a wonderful experience with this firm while being represented by Paul Nichols. I cannot say enough amazing things in regards to the representation I have received by Paul Nichols. His knowledge of the law and ability to analyze a situation, (sometimes that situation could mean the second right before the court hearing is to begin) and to be able to quickly make the right decision for his client is completely remarkable. I wholeheartedly will continue to put my trust in him and highly recommend to others needing an amazing, experienced, results driven attorney to do the same.

My experience with this firm was horrendous!! I was baited during the custody consultation to feel as though I had a very strong case for full custody. However, once I provided the required retainment for representation, I simply became a statistic. Andrew consistently pushed for me to just accept opposing party offers of every other weekend, simply because it is the "standard" and had no concern of really fighting for me or my daughter's 'equal' time together. The goal of this firm is to drag clients through the system as slowly as possible, for their maximum profit!.. I was astonished to find that for my final bill, which only included the prep and appearance for my 20 min support hearing that should have only involved plugging my income numbers into a worksheet, I had accumulated the same amount of changes, nearly $7000, as I had for all of the work in the months leading up to the custody hearing. Don't make my mistake....You'll probably fair just as well, if not better, representing yourself and saving your kid's college fund.
