There are really no words to adequately describe how thankful we are for Lyon and the others at this law firm. The events that led us to reach out to your firm were one the worst times in our lives.

You guys are the best! - Lorrie H.

David Randolph Smith was the only attorney that would take our case. We were up against the US Government and Virginia’s state laws.

God sent this law firm to help us at a very sorrowful time. We were blessed for such a great law firm. If I ever need a lawyer, this firm would be first on my list. Thank you. — Vicky F.
