He might be a good lawyer but I’ll never know... all we got was excuses and a run around for $1500. I’ve had administrative assistance who are way more effective at getting things done than this law firm. I suggest you go find another attorney that doesn’t want to remind you about all his 150 clients as he is telling you he didn’t get what was promised done. Never went to court. Never left the office. I had to show up multiple times in person to get something to happen. Way too many people with law degrees to accept this level of service. You have been warned steer clear!

Richard is the man. If your in need he's the man indeed. Highly recommend.

THIS IS THE BEST FIRM IN VIRGINIA.

I was referred to Mr.Doummar by another attorney. I am very happy with his help with my traffic ticket.

Update:
Few days after the above review, I received another bill from Mr.Doummar's office. The bill was for the appeal court, which Mr.Doummar had personally told me is covered under the initial payment.

Nice and upfront

Mr. Doummar did a wonderful job representing my case. Highly recommend his firm.

Richard gave me my life back. I can not be grateful enough for their work and talents.

Very good at what they do! Prices are fair

Mr. O’Brien stuck with us for a two year process and did not charge for extended court dates and was professional throughout the whole experience. Anyone looking for a great lawyer i would highly recommend Mr. O’Brien.

I went with this firm by recommendation of my family against my better judgement. I represented myself against Doummar & his client when I was 17. They tried to build a case against me with lies but I was armed with the truth. Ultimately their client committed perjury & their bogus charges where dismissed. Anyone roughly 17 years later I was dragged into a situation. I had the kind of wife who would attack me but when I’d tried to leave she would do something like bash her head against the door frame & call the police. I had never been in this type of situation before & it was terrifying. I ended up in jail repeatedly & had never been there before. My situation with the wife may have been terrible but jail was a nightmare. I was scared. I had documented everything she was doing. Even had video, pictures & loads of voicemails. Voicemails of her threatening everything that happened prior. At first I thought nothing of her reading books about serial killers & such but later I feared for my life. It was like one of those lifetime movies about black widows. I thought I had a leg to stand on but the system did everything to deny me justice buying everything she said hook line & sinker. That said I turned to Doumar & O’Brien. Happy was my main lawyer but Doumar would often assist & by that I mean be there when Happy blew off appointments with me. I sent everything I had to them to no avail. Happy instructed me while having a no contact agreement to bring my wife to the office to sign a statement to drop charges. I called the firm to say I was on the way. Happy wasn’t there as usual so Doumar answered. He freaked out on me asking why I was with her. I mean I didn’t want to do what Happy asked but figured they knew what they were doing. This was the run around I was given for $3500! This gets better...so being that this meeting broke the no contact agreement my wife ran with it & had my bond sent to revocation. Happy showed up & pulled out a piece of paper drawing a “T” & started asking questions like it was the first time we met. He was totally unprepared. I knew I was screwed & I was going back to jail until trial. The worst part is that my wife is super vindictive & had been hacking my emails and social media accounts to sabotage any evidence & had as well as posing as me to smear my name. Happy had everything he needed including a graphic video of her breaking into my parents house which I stayed while she got my house of ten years. She broke in looking for a fight ultimately getting arrested after attacking my 80 year old grandmother. After being locked up for months without even a visit while asking my family for more money I get to my trial day. The courts had given me a public defender for one of the charges I picked up which in contact with her at Happys direction where I picked up another assault charge. The public defender was ready to fight & actually listened to my words. He was ready but Happy was not. At least not to get justice for me. He wanted the easy buck and he sure got it. I didn’t understand the severity of my situation as I don’t hit women & I’m not violent. Anyone that knows me knows that. In fact they would call me when their boyfriends would cross a line as I am a pretty large person. None of that mattered to this situation. When I saw Happy he said “we’re in quite the pickle”. He told me I was looking at a possible 4 year sentence. I broke down into tears. Every day in jail feels like a week & each week a month. He recommended I take a plea deal & said I was would get out with time served. At the time that sounded great but he didn’t explain that these charges would be a permanent black mark on my record. I was pursuing a career in elderly care as I was my grandmothers caregiver for 4 years. Those dreams were completely dashed. We went to trial & he pretty much bypassed the public defender who was ready to fight. They accepted the plea deal suspending 2 years and 5 months leaving 7 to serve. Happy later offered divorce services @$3800. I passed obviously. ~Morgan

Not worth the money doesn’t call you back once he’s paid, mediocre lawyer with not much influence. Much better federal attorneys available in the area.

You will never find a better lawyer in Virginia Beach. Richard and his associates will not fail your plea. Mr. Richard Doummar genuinely cares for his clients and will see that Justice is served appropriately. He's a very well respected attorney and had been for many many years.

Excellent services provided by their office. Scheduling appointments was very easy. Mr. Doummar was very attentive to our questions and very detailed with his recommendations.

Great people

Happy O'Brien represented my daughter in a speeding ticket (79/55). He was great! I would highly recommend him to my family and friends without hesitation.

Happy O'Brien saved my life in a bad situation that I got my self into and there was no way around it. I thought I was going to go away for a decent amount of time. However, when I got to my sentencing I got time served. With this being said, once I changed my life around Happy wrote a letter to every college that I applied at explaining my situation and helped big time with getting accepted to everyone of those prominent colleges.

Be careful Richard Doumar will sell u out if another client of his is more important Slippo or Brocolleti for the same dollar will help u more effectively ..

Mr. Doummar is amazing and extremely helpful and friendly.

Full disclosesure. I have know Richard and Happy, for a number of years, personally and professionally. I have several, friends practicing law, and they are all great attorneys. But Richard and Happy, always seem to take a personal interest, in their clients. They go the extra mile.
My client's that have retained their services, rave about how great they are.
