What makes the Vienna-based firm one of the best is that its attorneys do not treat clients as just a legal case. Instead, they strive to provide them with specialized legal services, treating them with dignity, care and respect. We understand that the divorce of a family is among the most traumatic things you will have to endure, and that everyone should be treated with dignity. The lawyers and staff of our firm bring experience, empathy, intelligence and talent to work for you and your family. As a client, you will receive personalized attention tailored to your family’s unique needs and situation.

We develop solutions for your family so that you can put the divorce behind you as quickly as possible and move forward with your life. We are experienced and talented litigators, but we will not demonstrate these abilities in a courtroom unless your spouse or his or her lawyer makes litigation necessary.

Most family law cases are won or lost before the parties enter the courtroom. Accordingly, from the initial consultation, we are focused on what we need to prove if the matter does not settle. We distinguish ourselves from other firms who see you as a “case” to be filed in court. We recognize that the failure to resolve family disputes pertaining to divorce and litigation as early as possible creates financial and emotional consequences for the participants and their families. However, we also understand that a certain percentage of the cases will go to trial, and our ethos is to out-work the other side when we are required to use a courtroom to obtain a fair result for our clients.
However, if the other lawyer or party will not settle the matter fairly, we understand that the point of litigation is to win the arguments in dispute. Our thought process is that we cannot always make the other side be reasonable outside a courtroom, but we can always hold them accountable in a courtroom. The attorneys at Roop Xanttopoulos Babounakis & Klam will bring their experience, empathy, dedication, patience and talent to work for the best interests of you and your family.
