Law Office of Joan K. Fine, PLC

My husband and I worked with Juliette (and her team) to create several legal documents. She was incredibly knowledgeable, radically helpful, and easy to work with. She explained everything clearly, and made sure we understood all of our options. I would recommend Joan's firm every day of the week. Thanks to all that helped for all of your exceptional work!

Joan is an exceptional attorney, and I can recommend her without reservation. We have used Joan several times since moving to the Winchester area for real estate development/easement reviews, landlord/tenant issues, contract disputes, and other civil matters. I’ve worked with countless attorneys over my career, and immediately appreciated Joan’s extensive legal experience and expertise, her business acumen, and her practicality. Joan is a trusted advisor, a truth teller, and when the time comes - a tenacious advocate for her clients.

I would like to commend Shania Ring, Paralegal (Law Office of Joan K. Fine), for her integrity, professionalism, legal expertise and her sincere empathy for my grieving family. I cannot THANK Shania enough for kindly accepting my husband's request for legal representation for my daughter's estate account. While my husband and I were grieving the loss of our daughter, Shania was willing to take on the difficult task of assisting my husband and I through the legal process for my daughter's estate.
A few months later, my husband also passed away needless to say from a broken heart and existing medical illness.
Shania continued to remain steadfast, while also helping me stay positive and encouraged, she proactively worked to simplify the entire process, keeping me informed of all legal requirements needed to complete each transaction and to finalize the closing of my daughter's estate account.

THANK YOU, Joan Fine, for your awesome legal team! When calling your office, I always have the pleasure to speak with Lorie Norton who is so very pleasant and personable, makes me feel at ease and quickly responds to my calls.
I will continue to highly recommend your Law Firm to anyone seeking legal help.

I used the Law Office of Joan Fine for my estate planning as well as a couple of personal issues over the past several years. They have always given excellent service and advice and are great communicators. Highly recommend

Shania Ring of this law firm did superbly providing legal services to settle the estate of a deceased family member. Shania successfully brought closure and peace of mind to our family.

Dependable. Reliable. Reasonable. Ms. Fine and her staff were instrumental in the resolution of a dispute I recently encountered; my first foray into hiring legal representation. Staff was supportive and plain talking in laying out options and possible outcomes. The Firm followed through on commitments and were always available to answer questions. I would absolutely recommend to family and friends in future.

Juliette Michaels the lawyer that did my will. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Thank you Juliette!

Received very insightful counsel in updating wills and trusts. Ms Fine spotted several issues we had not fully recognized or completely addressed, and drafted corrections quickly and knowledgeably. Cheerful support staff and pleasant office surroundings round out an excellent service capability

Joan Fine is a very good lawyer and she has handled several different issues for me. She has created 5 limited liability companies, written several employment contracts, handled closing on several real estate transactions and worked with me on a lawsuit. She has done an outstanding job on each and every project I have handed her. She is the quintessential lawyer, she can be as gentle as a lamb or as mean as a junkyard dog depending on the circumstance. I would highly recommend Joan Fine to handle legal matters for anyone or any company.

Joan Fine...is smart..to the point and an excellent lawyer....I would highly recommend her to any one....she worked on several issues for me and my significant other...you will not be disappointed

For the last few years, I have used Joan Fine and her team as my primary business attorney. Through our many transactions, we have always found Joan to be extremely responsive and willing to go the extra mile to help us achieve the positive outcomes that we hope for. Five stars across the board!

We had a great experience with Joan Fine helping us settle an issue with a house closing. She was always available and kept us up to date with information. She was very prompt with returning calls. We were very pleased with the outcome. If we have any more legal questions or issues, we will be contacting her.

I would highly recommend Ms. Fine and her wonderful assistant Ms. Ring. From the first communication to our final transaction, everything went smoothly. I had made a mistake on our phone call time and was quite delayed. Ms. Fine was more than accommodating with me and finding the time to move ahead with a call the same day. They processed all paperwork for my needs, filed everything in the court and I never had one issue. I appreciate their attention to detail and getting back with me on all questions in a timely manner.

Joan is hands down the best attorney Winchester has to offer ! She quickly resolved an issue in a few short months that another attorney had been handling with for several long years. She is very professional and gives you reasonable advice instead of getting your hopes set high to be disappointed in the end. I would strongly recommend her to everyone. I am very happy to have Joan on my side !

We highly recommend Joan as our attorney. Joan has been by our side for 22 years through thick and thin with our Businesses and our Family. Joan is an attorney to be proud of and has helped our Businesses grow in many successful ways, including drafting and reviewing documents and representing us in court. As we continue Joan will always be there for us.

Joan was so helpful when I was unsure how to handle a tenant issue last fall. While I didn't need to engage her services, I would absolutely hire her for future needs, and refer her to others. She is extremely knowledgeable, highly professional and confidential, and yet approachable and caring. You do NOT want to be on the opposite side of a courtroom from her--she's that good.

Ms. Fine was thorough and shared wisdom that guided my business through a difficult negotiation. Her and her staff were a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to go to her for counsel in the future!

While needing an attorney can be stressful in and of itself, having one that is informative, interactive and one who has a working knowledge of the legal processes is major plus. I was confused, upset and angry at the injustice that brought me to Joan, and throughout the ordeal she was always exploring my options and looking for the least expensive and most timely resolution. I would highly recommend Joan Fine for your legal needs and now see her as much a friend as an attorney.

Joan Fine has been our family attorney for years, starting with my parents, and now handling all legal matters for my husband and me. She has helped us with wills, leases, and all manner of general legal advice, and her communication with us has never been anything but completely thorough, clear, and effective. Of particular note was her representation of us when we had to evict and then pursue litigation against an irresponsible tenant of our family property who had done more than $80,000 in damage. She counseled us carefully through the entire process, explaining each step, what we needed to do, what we should expect, how much of her time would be involved, what the likely costs would be, etc. She was spot-on, as always. Although Virginia is not a state known for being friendly to landlords, we won our case, and were awarded the full amount of damages we were seeking. Joan led us every step of the way, and we could not have done it without her. She is smart, tenacious, detailed, and consummately professional. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Our business has retained Mrs. Fine on several occasions in the past and is our go to for legal counsel and real estate closings. She has worked with us on litigation and contractual cases and been a knowledgeable resource regarding general business concerns. In every instance she has been thorough, honest and diligent. Mrs. Fine works to efficiently research case law and opinions, covering all possible angles so as to make well informed and calculated recommendations to move the case or issue forward resulting in a favorable outcome for her client. She is without hesitation our first and only choice for legal representation.
