A huge thanks to and my highest recommendations for Attorney Easton and the entire team at The Firm for Men.

I have recently been embroiled in medical, financial, and logistical difficulties while fighting a stage 2 cancer. When massively damaging and deeply hurtful false allegations where suddenly added to my pile, I was (and am still) utterly crushed.

From my first inquiry call, the team was incredibly attentive, responsive, optimistic, and eager to help. They were a much needed anchor during torrentially bad times. Their sheer skill, both in law and in working with people, pulled me back into the rink, had me ready to stand again, and then ready to win.

Communication was absolutely excellent, and I will remember and reference their standard in my own work and with my own staff as something to strive toward. I received prompt phone calls, continual informing, email copies of everything, and a super easy to use ShareFile site where I could re-download anything. Every next step had a clean, crisp, summary email with actions, addresses, times, and phone numbers easily visible.

(I am the IT person at a design agency, so I deeply appreciate businesses that not only have their technical stuff together, but make it look great. Thank you for investing in great software, processes, and clearly solid IT in general.)

We strategized and regrouped on multiple occasions ahead of the court date. I felt very prepared for the worst court event of my life.

And we won!

Immediately after the judgement, we continued to strategize on any other possible events, and how to possibly move forward to some sort of reconciliation.

I cannot recommend Attorney Easton and the team at the Firm for Men enough for providing stability, assurance, confidence, and hope during ridiculously difficult times, for taking a massive weight off of my shoulder, and for winning the case. THANK YOU!

In January 2020, the Firm For Men provided me with excellent service for an out of state DPOA I needed for my father. Thank you Mike, Kelli and Tina.

TODAY...My husband had a voice for the FIRST time in 4 YEARS! Attorney Chad Simpson was retained in the beginning of December 2019 and he had less than 30 DAYS to get a defense ready for one of the worst CHILD SUPPORT cases in Hampton Virginia to date. During the trial he hit all the points, that we had previously tried to express with no luck, as well as FINALLY got to call my husband's character witness to the stand to clear up over 2 years of confusion on the case!!

We will faithfully keep this law firm on retainer as we unravel this mess but you need look NO FURTHER...this is THE FIRM FOR MEN!!

I had no idea how this divorce process worked. I gave The Firm a call and set up a consultation. I met Jason he went over some things that I could put in the divorce decree and how the rest of the process would work and made me feel comfortable how the rest would work. My legal team made me feel comfortable and I had no problem discussing issues with them. I was always kept updated where the paperwork was in the court or still at her attorney's office. I also had a QDRO matter, it would be criminal if I didn't mention Lali, the backbone of my QDRO issue she made sure the QDROs got disbursed, and Chad for not throwing in the towel satisfying the financial companies with the language. Using The Firm was a 5 star experience. If anyone I know has to go through this I'll highly recommend The Firm.

Special thanks and much appreciation to the entire staff of Firm for Men. From my first encounter to my last meeting, it was a first class, five star experience. Being interviewed by Jason was a very special touch that I will never forget. He took time with me and gave me confidence in this very painful process. Special thanks to Lali Smith who was a "shock absorber" for me during the rough spots and great support through the whole process. I highly recommend this firm. A total blessing!!!

Handled my issues very professionally & they were resolved pretty much as anticipated. Was easy to get ahold of for any assistance needed, or answers to any questions in a quick manner throughout the process. Felt very comfortable from the start.

I have to agree with the person that says it's a joke. 4 to 5 years later we are still dealing with a crazy ex thanks to the "counsel" of this guy and his paralegals.

After spending years and thousands of dollars in fees with no results in a very nasty divorce, I contacted the Firm for Men. The attention to detail and constant communication coupled with the sincere and obvious care for the client spoke volumes. This firm accomplished more in hours/days than most do in months/years. Tina, Lali, and all who are to numerous to list are amazing! Outstanding organization! DCSE had garnished my wages TWICE, one for my regular pay and one for my retirement pay with the possibility of losing $4000.00 monthly, I retained them. They moved very quickly. I had the opportunity to speak with the Director of Client Relations, who is there only for the clients and wants to do everything to make sure they are happy. She assured me it would be handled and that she would personally call to ensure that I did not loose the money which would have stopped me from seeing my kids who are in another state. They are all about me seeing my kids and having my visitation with them. Still have some additional things to complete but I know I am in good hands.

I have used The Firm for Men twice. The first time I lived in Virginia Beach. The second time I had moved to Georgia. I was extremely pleased with the service both times. The come with my highest recommendation. I hope I will not need their services again. But if I should, I would go to them without any hesitation. Thank you "The Firm for Men"

Not happy with the service provided for my legal matter. At the end of the day I felt mistreated and overcharged. Found better representation at another firm.

I contacted the Firm's practice via their online form in the hopes of getting a referral for a divorce attorney in another Virginia county outside of their practice. I was surprised to receive a very prompt response and information for an attorney with a parallel mindset of The Firm For Men. It's been eye opening to experience the difficulties men and fathers (like my son) have to navigate in divorce in a gender biased legal system. With a bit of background into my son's case, both Jason and Tina offered names and phone numbers to contact in my local area. Their attention to my online request is both refreshing and gives me hope for a positive change in direction and strategy with their referral. I am truly grateful I contacted them.

Thank you Jason, Ben, Kimberly and Tina. I immediately felt a part of your family and you all did a great job getting me through my divorce. The team, in great detail, explained the process and provided stellar legal representation. It's over and I made it!!! I highly recommend their professional legal team.

Jason and team were nothing but professional and respectful from the beginning; the best thing I ever did was hire Jason. He offered unbiased opinions and guidance throughout the case, and Tara (paralegal) is fantastic. They were strong and direct, allowing me to get exactly what I had sought out to get. I will always highly recommend this firm to my friends and family.

Mr. Swango is amazing. He isn't a sugar coating attorney, he told me how it is. I walked into my appointment with a huge load on my shoulders, and he lifted that load and made me feel like a good man. If I could give a 6 star I would. Thank you Jason Swango for everything. Highly recommend to any man having a tough time.

When I hired Jason, I was on my fourth lawyer. Being out of state and a frequent traveler makes things difficult to say the least, and I felt that the attorneys I used were great at spending my money and really bad at everything else. I’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars to get to this point, and feel like I’ve finally found a firm who isn’t out to just run out my account. They’re communicative, friendly, straightforward, and instead of stringing everything along as previous firms have done, my case is finally almost at a conclusion.

Jason and his team helped me thru one of the most trying times in my life and with as little collateral damage as possible. I travel constantly so it was really nice to know they were there taking care of things as they came up. One less worry for me. A big thanks to The Firm For Men team!

Overall the attorneys in the firm are good. They are just overworked and stretched way too thin, which means your case doesn’t get the attention that it should. My attorney was running from one courtroom to another and I didn’t feel was fully focused on my case. Another issue that I had was paying my attorney and the paralegal to talk to each other about my case. I realize people have to get paid, but having to pay twice for the same conversation seems a bit much. My biggest issue is this though, when my trust fund ran low, work stopped on my case and a celebratory email went out, which I was copied on, when I paid. Now that my case is over it has been very difficult to get them to pay me the overage back.. I don’t think I could recommend this firm, nor will I use them again.

The Firm for Men got the mission accomplished in an at times complicated divorce. For me that was a clean break with zero financial ties. The paralegal handling my case was thorough and able to guide me through the process every step of the way. I'm not accustomed to being in front of a judge in a courtroom. It was a stressful situation for me, but my lawyer did an excellent job at the hearing. The ladies in the front get 5 stars!!! They are always welcoming, in person and on the phone. I'm hoping I will never be in this situation again, but if I am I will go back to Jason and his Team

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! I would not even give this firm one star, they will find a way to rip you off one way or another. Just to make it clear, I was not the customer, I just experienced their incompetence very close. I completely agree with the comment posted below "Not a firm for men, a firm for ripping men off"

Firm for men provided me with excellent legal advice throughout my case in Virginia Beach. Although my petition was unsuccessful, I felt we put the best case forward. I felt my needs and points were listened to and if I was incorrect in my assumption, the explanation was clear, honest and communicated with dignity. BTW: I came here after being poorly represented with another firm. I would definitely recommend Firm for Men to any one in my situation. I wish I had retained them in my original petition.

Thanks to Mr. Swango for gaming out the particulars of the divorce decree, for articulating the weaknesses in the opposing counsel's approach and for detailing leverages that could be used as needed. Thanks also to Mr. Thum and the entire team for bringing it all home, for protecting my interests, and for making zero concession. My now ex-wife got what she wanted, but not the way she wanted it! I made out better, by far, than I could hope for!

I can't say enough about Jason and his entire team! I went in feeling like my life was falling apart and came out of the office feeling I had a true support network, not just a legal team. As the saying goes, no one likes lawyers until the need one, but I actually enjoyed coming to the office to see them! It surprised me a little when they said they love to hear about stories of reconciliation even though they are in the business of divorce. In addition to Jason, the whole team of Tina, Lali and Michael were amazing and I consider them friends! Thank you all and I highly recommend this team to any man who needs a strong team!

I would like to thank Chad for all his legal knowledge and providing sound advice as my lawyer. He explained the best option to protect me. Thanks to Tina for answering all of my questions and always keeping the lines of communication open and finally thanks to the paralegal team for helping with the paperwork!. A great firm

This firm took me by the hand and guided me through a system that has been known to railroad men. I am elated, happy and proud to have been served by such season professionals such as Chad and Lali. They happily gave me the attention I felt I needed, and went to bat for me as if I was family. I couldn't be happier with the results thus far. I would like to say thank you to the whole team at "The Firm For Men."

I would recommend this office for your parental rights anytime! You may not be able to control the judge you get and whether they may have "medical appointments to get to" but you can control who you have in your corner to represent and fight for you. Swango law as a whole, from my attorney, Mr. Thum to the paralegals and the entire staff, I greatly appreciate the hard work and attention you shown to me and my case.

I am totally impressed with The Firm for Men client-centric approach to all they do. You would think all firms would follow this approach, however, my negative experience with two previous divorce attorneys leads me to avow the superb service and representation I received from Firm for Men. They make communicating with the client a top priority. I was never left in the dark about my case in any way. My paralegal and attorney sent me an email recapping every session, phone call, email and court event that happened. True professionals and a class organization in every way. They got my spousal support terminated and they will win for you too. You won’t be disappointed you hired The Firm for Men. Respectfully, (Ret.) Major Kenneth Martin, USAF

Friendly environment. Staff was helpful and actually showed genuine concern with my legal issues. I've dealt with other law firms and they definitely didn't go that "extra mile" to make me feel more than a pay check. I recieved calls with genuine concerns to make sure I was satisfied or if I had any concerns.

First, I would like to say you get what you pay for. The firm for Men, did just that. I walked into their office on March 19th, and my divorce was complete on May 24th. Even though my situation was fast, it was stressful so let the professionals do the critical thinking for you. There was so much I didn’t even think about, but they made sure all of the legal documentation was in my favor. From the time I walked in until my final paperwork was in my lap, the team kept me up to date and walked me through each step. This firm has a strong team of paralegal’s as well, Lali Smith handled my case, and was extremely fast and professional. Thanks to The Firm for Men, the cheating piece of S*&t I married, didn’t get any of my money.

Useless waste of money and time. They did nothing except drain my finances. I gave them information they said nothing in court even with proof in there hands. Straight out ignore your case unless you have tons of money or high profile. Sent out emails with wrong information and other clients files attached. The devil is in the details they don’t even look at. I am still waiting on a call back from there customer service 7 months now. Don’t be fooled by the hype get a real lawyer not a as seen on tv prop.

Initially, I visited The Firm for Men to get a will signed, notarized and witnessed. While I was there, I asked if they would be interested in helping me with estate planning for my wife and me. Jason Swango was very gracious. He refused to take payment for something as simple as a will signing. Additionally, Jason referred me to his own attorney for my estate planning. He explained that The Firm for Men is for Men. By helping me with my family estate planning, he would have to represent both my wife and me. I admire Jason’s fidelity to his business model. Thank you for your help.

I wish we had read the yelp reviews before my now husband retained these lawyers. It was a miserable experience. These lawyers missed his court date for his divorce, so he got divorced on his wife’s terms, misfiled, showed up to his second court date saying, “now what are we arguing for today?” Which is funny, considering that we paid them thousands of dollars beforehand for “case prep” yet the lawyer had no idea about any details of the case. And then when we went back for spousal support the lawyer hadn’t filed for counter suing, so we are still paying spousal support because we can’t afford a lawyer anymore. That and the fact that the ladies that work in the office always have a snarky attitude and we’re conveniently losing all my husbands paperwork. I am not from Virginia Beach so I don’t know of any other lawyers, but any lawyers have to be better than this. Not a firm for men, a firm for ripping men off. Please please PLEASE don’t put yourselves through what we went through.

Talk about passion - you won't find another attorney like Jason Swango. I met with a lot of divorce lawyers, and it was clear they just wanted that down payment. I knew this guy cared from the second I sat down with him and I haven't been proven wrong yet.

Funny how the two star ratings came from WOMEN who weren't even represented by this firm.
I, however, am presently being represented by them and they are doing an exceptional job. I've had various lawyers in the past, but none that have actually gone above and beyond for me.
Their staff in whole create a welcoming family environment. Cynthia is my paralegal and keeps me in the loop at all times. Mike Deering is my attorney and he is freaking BEAST in court.
I would not have it any other way!!!

I've seen first-hand the good this firm brings to the area and the cause as a whole. This law firm has been fighting for men's and father's rights for many years, providing a much needed, much appreciated service to our friends, our brothers, and our colleagues. Is it free? No. Is it worth it? Yes! They're well-known and well-respected in Virginia Beach and the entire Hampton Roads area. Ask around and you'll quickly learn what The Firm For Men is all about!

There is no love lost between me and my soon-to-be ex, but this process has taken an extremely long time for an uncontested divorce, with lots of add-on charges. Originally filed Sept 28, still is not final on Dec 8.

paid 75 for a quote and consultation for a simple divorce and wanted 1500 retaining fee... no thank you took my business somewhere else and paid only a third of the price. its obvious they are trying to make up money buying all that airtime and propaganda.
