At Aoun & Stanford, P.C. we have extensive experience in the issues that may affect you and your family. These issues include family law matters such as divorce, custody and support issues, negotiating and drafting agreements, estate planning, civil litigation, and misdemeanor criminal and traffic cases.
Our goal is to deliver superior, cost-effective legal services to our clients. As a small firm, we are able to provide personalized attention to every client. You will never be “just another case” to us, and we will strive to meet you and your family’s legal needs in a comprehensive and sensitive manner. We offer advice and solutions designed to meet your needs, including referrals to mediation, counseling, and other professionals when appropriate. When necessary, we will advocate vigorously on your behalf, and whenever possible, assist you in finding solutions outside the legal process.
We also work to help you resolve your legal matters by offering mediation services. Mediation is rapidly becoming a popular alternative to litigation. Virginia courts often require parties to attempt to resolve their dispute through mediation before a judge will hear their case. The process is particularly helpful in family and contract disputes because a mediator assists both parties in reaching a mutually agreeable solution to their dispute.
We practice in Northern Virginia, including Fairfax County, Prince William County, Arlington County, and the City of Alexandria.
We appreciate the opportunity to represent you and all of our clients. Please contact us to determine how we may assist you in your legal matters. Your initial half-hour consultation is free.
