[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poster on 10/15/2025 @ 13:54, are you local, and, if so, would you mind sharing who your attorney is?

Anyone else out there in this situation with a good lawyer to recommend for dealing with a narc, especially in NoVa?[/quote]

I think you’re asking me and I’m not local, but there seem to be at least 1-2  attorneys on this thread so I am hoping one of them can pop in with a recommendation for you.

I found mine not by looking for someone with experience specifically with narcissism (that seems to attract a certain kind of attorney that wasn’t the type I was looking for) but rather experience with litigation, high-conflict, and high net-worth divorce in that order. Don’t be afraid to talk to acquaintances who work way outside of family law, even if you have to fib and say it’s for a friend- my best referrals were from attorneys in random areas of practice.

One I got to initial consults, that’s when I started asking about mental health issues, how that might impact custody, etc. If you can, try to complete at least 3-4 legal consults at a slow pace to get the lay of the land and really understand how different attorneys operate.

Even though I work with attorneys daily in my job, I did not understand how to judge attorney’s working personalities within family law until many intake calls, forms, and maybe 4 consults. It feels like a very different corner of the legal world from anything I have encountered in my professional career and that made it hard to make a personal representation decision.[/quote]
