The firm's service and the help they gave me could not have been better.

After I was injured in a "big box" home improvement store, I read an article about a similar case Weiner, Rohrstaff & Spivey had handled and chose them because of their previous successes. I suffered a broken knee cap in the accident, had to have surgery, and had months of physical therapy. I still have problems with my knee 15 months later.

Lawson Spivey did an outstanding job of preparing me and representing me in mediation, and the case was settled for a very satisfactory amount. I was extremely satisfied with my experience with the lawyers and staff at Weiner, Rohrstaff & Spivey. Lawson and Debbie kept me informed of what was going on in my case, explained the process along the way and answered all my questions. The whole experience could not have been better.

My very first impression of the firm was that this was a great place, and I was not disappointed. Sandra and Janelle were a great team. They kept me informed, answered my questions with professionalism and were knowledgeable about what they were doing. They alleviated my stress and were available every step of the process. I felt they truly cared about my case. Nancy M.

"We could not have gotten through all this without you."

We represented two parents who lost their only child in 2001 in an electrocution/drowning case. After the case settled in 2002, the defendant refused to comply with all the terms of the settlement. Ever since, we pursued the defendant in court without cost to our client. He finally complied, and we sent the court-ordered money to the parents. Here is their response:

Ed Weiner & staff,
We want to thank you for the check. We deposited it into our account, because we decided to donate to two different charities: The Foster Child Society at our church and the St. Vincent dePaul Society for the poor & needy. We will tell them that the money came from you and the staff. We will always remember you for your legal skills and your humanity. We could not have gotten through all this without you. We wish you all good fortune and good health. God bless, P&P.

A Triumph

"Thanks for making the end of my father's life a triumph." N. James
(N. James is the son of one of our wonderful clients who recently passed away, and this is what he said when he called to tell us of his father's passing. We previously posted his case in the Case Results section of the website. Mr. J. was 96 years old when he was hit by a delivery truck while he was crossing the street. He was 100 years old when he died.)

He did not give up on my case.
I hired Weiner, Rohrstaff & Spivey because they are very professional and they only practice personal injury law. I was very satisfied with their representation. Mr. Weiner did not give up on my case. He pushed and fought for a fair settlement. I will always be thankful to Ed and the firm for thinking about me and my endless search for "fairness". Antonella M., Fairfax

Dedication and Teamwork Outstanding
I was referred to Mr. Weiner and decided to hire him to handle my car accident case because he was trustworthy and professional. He and the staff kept me informed of what was going on in my case. I was very satisfied with how my case was resolved. I appreciated the dedication of the attorneys and staff. Their teamwork was outstanding. Mark M., Fredericksburg

Deposition Preparation
I want to thank you for the fine preparation you provided me for my deposition. It made me relaxed and made the deposition process easier than I expected.

Appreciations
I do very much appreciate the fine work you performed on my behalf.

Changing UM/UIM Auto Insurance
After receiving your letter concerning the importance of increasing our UM/UIM coverage, I called GEICO to see about increasing our limits. You were right. The change in the cost of the policy to go from limits of $300,000 each person/$300,000 each occurrence to $500,000/$1,000,000 was a cost difference of $14.60 for a 6-month period on 3 cars/2 drivers, or about $30 for the year. Hopefully, we will not have to use it, but the statistics on uninsured motorists are honestly pretty scary. Thanks for informing us! Mary B., Springfield

Drunk Driver Auto Accident. Got the runaround from insurance companies.
Once I signed the retainer, I felt like a huge burden had been taken from me. I never questioned my decision to hire Sandra throughtout the time it took to resolve my case. My only regret is that I didn't hire her sooner. I have no hesitation recommending you to anyone who is looking for a great civil lawyer.

I appreciate everything you have done in handling my lawsuit against the drunk driver who crashed into my van. I interviewed a few lawyers about two months after the accident and was not impressed by any of them. A neighbor recommended Sandra as a competent and honest lawyer. However, when I found out that my three-year-old daughter was going to need surgery on her spine due to her injuries from the accident, all the paperwork went into a huge canvas bag and sat there for a year and a half while I concentrated on my daughter’s surgery.

Then about six months before the statute of limitations ran out, I started to go through and organize all the medical records and other documents and thought I could submit all the information to the drunk driver’s insurance company and the matter would be resolved equitably. I was wrong. I got a huge runaround from both the drunk driver’s insurance company and my own. I called Sandra. We set up a meeting and I liked her immediately.

Here was this angry, upset and very very very frustrated person. She took the time to really listen to me and explain my options and the legal system. Once I signed the retainer, I felt like a huge burden had been taken from me. I never questioned my decision to hire Sandra throughout the time it took to resolve my case. My only regret is that I didn’t hire her sooner. I have no hesitation recommending you to anyone who is looking for a great civil lawyer. Betty G., Springfield

"You listened patiently..."
A handshake or hug doesn’t seem enough to express my gratitude to you. You listened patiently as I tried to communicate my need to be informed and involved and what all of this meant to me (over and over again). You didn’t let me lose hope that what we were fighting for, we could in some ways achieve. Our son was worth the fight. He truly lived his short life believing he could do and be anything. You gave me assurance that this was the right thing to do and advocated for us throughout the process. Sharon C., Woodbridge

"your energy in this thing made a difference."
I am so glad this is finally over. With your help, I think we made a different. I will never forget all you’ve done, your energy in this thing made a difference. Carol B., Alexandria

Patience
Thanks for your patience and thanks for a job well done! Marie C., Annandale

"We are so happy that you stood up to the insurance company..."
Sandra, thanks so much for helping our daughter when she returned from her mission trip in Mexico. She needed treatment for meningitis and the insurance company would not pay for it. She did not know what to do, and you stepped right up and solved the problem. We are so happy that you stood up to the insurance company, and they paid for our daughter’s treatment, as they should have in the first place. Penelope B., Alexandria

"When I called with a question, someone got back to me with an answer."
I chose the law firm of Weiner, Rohrstaff & Spivey based on a recommendation from a friend of ours who, as an attorney, is familiar with their work and thinks highly of them . . . the best way to get a recommendation. I really was not anxious to become involved in a court proceeding to recover damages. I was worried that it would be as aggravating as the injury itself. I was pleasantly surprised by the whole process. Every step of the way they were professional, honest, gave me different options and told me the probable results of the options, to the best of their ability. They explained the legal terms and reassured my fears. When I called with a question, someone got back to me with an answer. Since my case settled out of court, I know that they are also great negotiators. I would highly recommend their firm. Mary B., Springfield

To Staff: "you guys (and entire staff) have been great throughout this whole situation"
You guys are something else. You expended great effort for my sons and me, and I really want to thank you. As I’ve said before, you guys (and entire staff) have been great throughout this whole situation. Bill W., Centreville

To Staff: "I’m so glad you’re on my team."
Thank you for all your help. I’m so glad you’re on my team. Sandra C., North Carolina

To Staff: "Staff is great!"
The front desk staff are great. They know your name when you come in, which makes you feel like a valued client. I love the jelly beans in the conference room and "Chance" is quite welcoming and very cute. Antonella M., Fairfax
