Client Testimonials
“Debbie Albiston saved my life! She is the absolute best attorney anyone could ever have. I am eternally grateful for all that she did to save me and my three children.”
– Patricia
“I have complete trust when working with Emily. She handled my case perfectly and kept me well informed. Any questions or concerns that I had was answered by Emily. She guided me through the case and put my mind at ease.”
– Aimee
“When my husband was injured in the line of duty, the nature of some of his injuries was not readily apparent. As we awaited the final diagnosis of his condition, we needed help and advice. Several legal firms advised us to wait until we had more information before they would assist us. This was not the case with George Albiston. Without his help my husband and I would have been lost in medical and legal paperwork. George and his staff were always available to answer our questions and provide support and advice. It was comforting to know that George had experience working with injured clients, and his manner was always kind, reassuring and confidant. I have recommended George to several friends and will continue to do so. George has integrity, compassion, and keen intelligence.”
– Carol
“Emily Brannon is not just a terrific attorney; she is also a very caring person that places her client’s needs as a top priority.
After being involved in a automobile accident, I began the search for a personal injury attorney, when no other attorney would take my case because it wasn’t open and shut, Emily took it on and fought for me all the way to court with favorable results.
I would highly recommend Emily Brannon to anyone with a need for her services.”
– Catherine
“If you want a great attorney that treats you with respect, Mr. Albiston should be your choice. He is there for you anytime, he returns phone calls in a timely manner. You never feel like a number. He takes the worry away, handles everything so you don’t have to be concerned. He is understanding and compassionate through your difficult time. I can’t thank him and his staff enough for all they did for me. The outcome was better than I ever thought it would be. Needless to say I highly recommend George Albiston.”
– Sharon
“I hurt my back in a car accident. Emily got every penny I needed to recover without stress of the day to day.”
– Beth B.
“Debbie came highly recommended and completely lived up to her impressive reputation. She represented me in a very complex and contentious divorce. As my attorney, Debbie was extremely detail-oriented, professional, ethical, moral, always well-prepared and clearly an expert in Virginia family law. When I needed an attorney to stand up for me, she was there. I have so much respect for her and can never thank her enough—-that was definitely money well-spent!”
– Pat
“Debbie Albiston was my lawyer for my child custody case in which I won custody of my son. Debbie is a master at her craft and the best lawyer/adviser I could have asked for. Her knowledge, as well as her courtroom presence, is second to none. A friend was surprised Mrs. Albiston was my lawyer because “she only represents women”. This could not be further from the truth. I’ve needed Debbie off and on since 2015 and she has been there for me every step of the way. I highly recommend Debbie Albiston.”
– Daniel
“Mr. Albiston and his office staff were an anchor for our family during a tumultuous time after our son was hit by a drunk driver. He impressed us with much understanding of the head injury, read a ream of medical reports, aided the whole family in our shock of the situation and was amazingly creative with detailed negotiations on a very complicated case. He covered every detail and then some. He worked tirelessly for us and advised us like our son was his son. We can’t thank him enough.”
– Michael & Laurie C.
“My personal injury suit fell under the category of “premises liability”. I was told up front that premises liability suits can be difficult. The owner and/or employees of the establishment where the injury took place often attempt to cite negligence on the part of the injured party in order to avoid accepting liability. My case was no exception. Because Emily was very open, honest and up front with me about what to expect, I was prepared for everything that we confronted along the way. I always had the definite sense that I was well represented and was impressed with Emily’s knowledge and professionalism. She always addressed my questions and concerns in a timely and thorough manner. And, in the end, the settlement was more than fair and exceeded my expectations.
I will hopefully never need the services of a personal injury layer again! But if I do, I will know exactly where to turn.”
