Bean, Kinney & Korman, P.C. Review

I recently needed legal representation for a custody trial and was referred to Christian Lapham. After one conversation with Christian, I was confident that this was the attorney that I wanted to represent me. He is a brilliant attorney who focuses on the best interest of your child and handles family manners with unmatched empathy and professionalism. Christian is passionate about his work, and that became increasingly apparent to me as my trial date approached.

Although Christian is a proven litigator, he focuses on finding the best solution for you and your family. Christian suggested that while my ex and I prepared for trial, it would be beneficial to both parties to try to mediate in parallel. Christian was able to work with my ex's attorney to make this possible and referred us to a mediator. We were able to come to an agreement a few days before our court date that miraculously pleased both my child s father and me. This would not have been possible without Christian s heavy involvement in our communications during settlement negotiations. He is assertive and will be firm when necessary. I appreciated that Christian maintained his composure during emotional conversations with the opposition. I genuinely believe his demeanor and consistency is what drove us to the negotiated result.

As far as cost, yes, Christian is expensive. However, the process of negotiating for time with my child was scary and unnerving, and having the support of Christian throughout was invaluable. He is efficient with his time and is fair with his billing. I appreciated that he took the time to explain the billing process to me, avoiding surprises at the end of the month.

As the trial date approached and more involvement from Christian's colleagues became necessary, I was introduced to Michelle Beiber. I was impressed by Michelle's ability to jump in mid-case and support with impact. All of the colleagues I worked with were bright, passionate, and knowledgeable. I felt confident having the backing of a full and qualified legal team.

World Class Law firm. One of the best in Northern Virginia.

I owe a great debt of gratitude to Raigne Delaney of BKK. He stepped in for me in a time of great need. I will forever appreciate his efforts.

Mr. Christian Lapham of Bean, Kinney and Korman is a 5 star family law attorney! As a clinical psychologist who does a lot of custody evaluations and work, I've know him for several years, and I've always been impressed by his knowledge, his effectiveness and his care for clients as a family law attorney. I also participated in Christian's Second Saturday Divorce Seminar as a mental health expert in the past, and it was a real honor to serve and support folks in the community wth Christian's great free divorce seminar series. If you are in need of a top notch family law attorney, I highly recommend Christian.

I would strongly suggest staying away from this law firm. I spent a year working with them and had what I believe to be false promises and radically high billing throughout the entire process. In the end they delivered less than I ever would have expected and charged far more than what was spoken about. It really just seemed like a bait and switch from the start.

My experience with Bean, Kinney & Korman was above and beyond my expectations. Going through a difficult divorce, it was nice to feel the support from the staff at the office. From the receptionists, to the attorneys, this firm is organized and thorough. I always felt that my needs were immediately addressed, and financially, the hourly fees were affordable and well worth it.

Christian Lapham is an honest attorney that is extremely fair and knowledgeable. It is wonderful when an attorney is not only able to empathize, but also able to guide you in making the best decisions for your future and your life.

I strongly recommend this firm to anyone looking for a great attorney in the area.

Great Firm with professorial and knowledgeable staff!
