I was married 15 years. I was so focused on the pain and the emotional stress that I did not think about the value of having a strong legal counsel to represent me in my separation and subsequent divorce. I tried negotiating the separation agreement on my own, with a mediator and through counsel recommended by people. I spent three months, struggling to reach an agreement, until I meet David Roop. Within the first meeting I felt a level of peace and hope I had not expected. He spent more time than he charged and he was diligent, explaining cases related to me as a person, business man and relevant to my particular situation. After almost four hours, he even asked me if he could take me to lunch. The second time I met, I have a draft agreement from my ex wife. After showing it to David, we did some edits, I submitted it back to her and it was signed within 24 hours. After just one year almost to the date, I was divorced without any courts involved. David introduced me to Kabara Praskavich) who effectively and without emotion, resolved all other details of my case, while still being compassionate and truly involved. After settling the divorce, I had a choice to switch counsels and go with a local lawyer to handle any future disputes. I refuse to let go of the Roop firm. Their skills set, level of experience and most importantly, their ability to know how to "play chess instead of checkers", is second to none.

My divorce was very challenging. My ex had far-fetched expectations for which she would stop at nothing to attain. David Roop represented me from the start of my unfortunate long and drawn out divorce process. 10 years later, I am still able to rely on Dave and his staff for clarification of various child support issues. While my nightmare ex went through three different lawyers who pulled out every startling accusation, trick and mind game in the book, Dave kept me grounded and calm. Divorce can eat someone up inside and David and his staff, especially Michelle, always calmed me down and gave me the right advice. They shared their personal experience and how one needs to think to get to the other side. He and his staff have a unique ability to embrace, embolden and keep you on the high moral ground. He was compassionate and caring for both sides and especially for my children. He looked far down the road, saved my company, cut a fair deal and that is exactly what I wanted. I am a financial professional and understand finances. He gave me realistic expectations about the asset split and support levels. He and his staff were instantly available, billed fairly and are by far one of the best, moralistic, and ethical divorce lawyers in the Washington DC area.

Mid-divorce, a friend of a friend set up a consultation for me with Alex. He gave careful consideration to my case, and while I was just seeking advice at that time to determine whether or not I would stay with my current attorney, by the end of the meeting, I knew that I wanted to have Alex represent me. He cared and it was clear. Divorce is emotional and devastating. He (and Michelle) provided the support that I needed when I needed it. For example, he knew that we needed local counsel due to the venue. And if I just needed to vent, he listened. If I needed him to explain specifics of a case or filing, he did so in a clear and timely manner. I also needed to understand and walk through things, and to be prepared for anything as well as for him to be prepared and know my personal situation. He got that. He is caring, responsive, knows the law, and is also familiar with the current landscape such that he can provide that dose or two of reality when necessary. I have since recommended multiple people to him and will continue to do so. To sum it up, Alex is a skilled attorney who provided me with exactly what I needed and who also cares.

Several years ago, we had a situation in our extended family that we had no idea how to manage and resolve. The staff at Roop Associates listened carefully to our story and made recommendations. They provided us with different solutions, then answered our many questions and supported our decisions. For almost 5 years, we had several challenges and meetings with Mr. Roop and others. We were always treated respectfully and with compassion. Because our backgrounds are not in Family Law, Mr. Roop explained each of our challenges in an easy to understand manner, and always gave us the "whole picture" as well as the possible next steps and decisions we might have to make. We hope we never have a similar challenge again, but we know David Roop and Associates would always have our backs, explain the entirety of options and respect our wishes.

As a clinical psychologist who frequently serves as a mental health expert within the Virginia courts, I am often asked for attorney referrals, and David Roop and his team is always at the top of my list. I have supported David and his team on several cases to date, and he is an outstanding attorney; his legal knowledge base, his caring approach and his attention to detail separates him greatly from others. If you are in search of a top notch family law attorney, I highly recommend David Roop and his team. A 5 star colleague review for a 5 star attorney and firm!

The Roop Law Firm is an exceptional practice. From the moment I walked through the doors of a very difficult and nasty divorce and custody battle, I was treated with dignity and respect. One never expects that this will happen, so there is no way to be prepared. David, Alex and Kabara had my back from the very beginning. They listened to me, counseled me and worked extremely hard on my behalf. I have recommended the Roop Law Firm to many friends and associates. The divorce experience leaves you raw and vulnerable. I truly believe that I would not be where I am today without the assistance of this practice.

I was very fortunate that a friend recommended Alex Xanttopoulos as a lawyer when I needed one. Everyone I dealt with at the office was extremely professional and friendly. Alex helped me with an emotional legal issue. I felt that he listened and advised me well throughout the process. When a minor criminal issue came up in our family, Alex was able to give needed advice and resolved the issue in the best possible way. Everything about my experiences with the Roop Law Firm was positive. I would highly recommend Alex Xanttopoulos in any legal capacity.

I knew Dave Roop as a decent human being in the community before I needed him as an attorney. High standards, top notch integrity, an honest man who is good at what he does. He built an amazing firm with solid employees, turned me over to super-smart Jennifer Babounakis who hammered out 3 courtroom wins for my family. Roop Law ensured our future was safe. Any regrets? None. Any advice? Divorce stinks and requires stamina. The professionals at Roop Law are kind and strong, throughout the whole grueling process. And they still care when the billing stops!

I have dealt with my share of family, divorce and bankruptcy attorneys over the past 15 years (due to my career in a field that requires the hiring of attorneys - but not having a career within the legal field or court system). I understand the difference between a solid attorney and an inexperienced knuckle-head (due to my divorce 13 years ago). Over the past four years I have had the pleasure of utilizing the expertise of David Roop and firm. In every, single aspect of my process, Roop and firm were exceptional. Without a doubt, exceptional.

I was in a dilema and a friend of mine recommended the Roop Law Firm. I am very grateful for the outcome of my case and I have the Roop Lawfirm to thank for that. Ms. Boubanakis did a wonderful job and I would highly recommend anyone to this law firm especially if you are not finding the results with your current lawyer. They take the time to listen and determine your chances upfront. They are very honest when it comes to your case and what might be the end result. In my case we prevailed in court.

Jennifer did an incredible job with my case. She took the time to thoroughly work through some of the complexities in my case. She made sure I understood everything and was always available for questions. I have referred others to Jennifer and team who have all had equally great experiences. You will not find a better team.

I used the services of David Roop several years ago for my divorce, after he was referred to me by someone whose recommendation I highly regarded. I found him and his office staff to be professional and dependable. I think he did an excellent job on my behalf and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

I had a very complex set of problems. David Roop set out a strategy that made sense and was cost-effective. Jennifer Babounakis then implemented that strategy. She worked closely with me and we achieved incredible results. My marriage was saved and I ended up with excellent parenting plan for my son.

The Roop Law Firm represented me during my stormy and turbulent two-year divorce. I still value their legal advice above all and I put 100% trust in them, which helped me to emerge from my divorce fully in charge of my own future. The Roop Law Firm is rated FIVE STARS in my opinion.
