In my opinion Herbert W. Laine is the Worst lawyer in Virginia. He told us that the Isle of Wight court house was named after his family. Said his name ment something there. What a joke of a lawyer. He didn't even know what case he was representing. He had to keep asking our names. My advice is to stay away from this lawyer.

Divorce procedures. Mr. Laine would not return calls and many times I had to go to his office personally just to get something done. From 3 orders that were supposed to be submitted to the court he only did 2 and since I moved out of state he would not return calls to get the third one done.

I do not appreciate being billed for matters that do not pertain to me.

Great work on my case!!!!!!

My now husband used this lawyer for his divorce and the separation document actually helped my husband's ex wife more and he overpaid child support for 2 years. It took us going to another lawyer to figure it out. Also the process was painfully slow and paperwork just sat on desks for months!

Mr. Laine is an excellent attorney. He was simple, to the point and put me at ease. He cared about the results of my case and I couldn't be more satisfied.

I worked with Herbert Laine for my divorce and he made everything a simple and easy process for me. The only difficulty I had was trying to contact him. However, he made a point to return my phone call in a timely matter. I highly recommend Herbert Laine as a lawyer.

Absolutely do not use this guy

Mr. Laine was originally hired to assist me in a custody case. We paid a retainer and was told that if we decided not to use his services, he would credit back the amount minus a one hour fee. I decided to let him go since my ex and I came to an agreement and the case would not get continued. Well, it has been over 2 months now and a refund has yet to be provided!! Horrible way to do business!

this so called lawyer signed over my house to my ex husband leaving me homeless then sent me a huge bill but refused to tell me how he earned that money I asked for an itemized receipt showing where he came up with this amount he refused and got a warrant in debt to garnish my wages

"I'm really happy with what service the Mr. Laine has given me. He is a very experienced lawyer and helped me with all of the hurdles. Thanks Mr. Laine!

Worst lawyer experience I have ever had. Never returned phone calls, so i had to leave messages always. I had to push him to get the job done. Numerous times i was told something was already done, then later found out that it was just being done by his secretary. The man is blind as a bat, I met him at the court house and he looked eye to eye with me and didnt recognize my face... If only i knew then what i know now, i would have gotten a better lawyer. PLEASE DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I MADE.

Our experience with this so called attorney was ridiculous. He never returned calls and then charged us for emails and phone calls. Signed an order for us even though we didnot agree with it telling us we had no choice but to sign it. Refused to notify us of upcoming hearings more than once which lead to warrants being issued. We live in another state and so therefore was hard to find an attorney to represent us and he seemed like the right person. BOY was we wrong! We have reported him to the virginia bar association and hope that he loses his license for his misconduct. EVERYONE SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM HIM. HE IS DEFINITELY A CRACKER JACK BOX ATTORNEY

While working with this lawyer I was routinely forced to leave messages because nobody answered the phone. I would receive a return call only a portion of the time. I would provide information to the office about my case and often they'd either forgotten or misplaced what I had provided and asked for it again. In coordinating my court date I explained when I could not attend, and they scheduled me for a time I told them I could not be there! I received a call from their office one morning, asking where I was, that Mr. Laine was at the courthouse, on the day I specifically told them I could not be present. They provided advice for managing my case that strung the process out so long that some time sensitive information was no longer available to us. They suggested a course of action for me and then after beginning it abruptly informed me that they had decided to no longer represent my case. At this point it became financially unwise to continue the case, and with much less information available to me due to the way the process was dragging on, going elsewhere for assistance was not a promising option. The gaffes made by this law office hindered me from getting compensation from the party that had wronged me.
