I am incredibly grateful for the hard work and dedication shown by this attorney. He went above and beyond on my case, putting in countless hours and giving his absolute best every step of the way. He is not only a skilled and committed professional, but also someone with a genuinely kind and giving heart. His compassion, integrity, and willingness to help made a very difficult situation much easier to navigate. I cannot thank him enough for his time, effort, and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney who truly puts people first.

Mr.Padgett is nothing short of amazing. He listens to your concerns and addresses them like they are his in the court room. He was everything I could've asked for. I would definitely recommend Dirk Padgett. Best money ever spent on a lawyer 100%.

Veteran, father, husband, a man who cares about his community, and one hell of a lawyer. Took care of a custody battle and child support case for me. I would call this man for any legal issues and recommend him to anyone who needs to win in court. I provided him and his team the stuff they needed for court and just let him do what he does. Couldn't have been happier with the outcome and will forever be grateful for his help. 🙏

Horrible experience- I paid them in full on a Friday after a consultation with Paralegal. They cashed my check first thing Monday. I called and emailed with some questions and nobody returned calls or emails. I finally get a response and they are refunding my money because I questioned them on why nobody would return calls and emails. Don’t hire unless you want to go it alone. Heaven forbid you have questions after you pay them. They will fire you as a client.

Response from owner

Tammy, It came to my attention that we were not moving fast enough to expediate your case. <br><br>A member of my staff was in the hospital last week at UVA which backed up the office. I understand you were frustrated, and we were not being as responsive to your needs. You retained us on January 21, 2025. <br><br>The staff was overwhelmed due to an emergency and unforeseen issues last week resulting in a short delay. We responded on Saturday to catch up and to address some issues. It’s now been a total of 8 days since you retained us. Most law offices take four to six weeks. <br><br>This week, I’m sure we would have gotten to your case; however, because you are in such a hurry, and quite frankly, exhibited such an attitude, we have gladly refunded your money. <br><br>Good luck to you in your future endeavors.

Dirk, Lake , and Ginger have all been so helpful during the process of divorce. They were always quick to answer any questions or concerns that I had. I would highly recommend them if you need a divorce lawyer!!

Dirk is by far, the most intense and passionate lawyer I have ever met. He addressed all of my concerns in a timely manner, and delivered one hell of a presentation when it came time for us to go to court. Dirk will make you realize your worth and help you to learn to believe in yourself again. I would recommend Dirk Padgett Law PLLC to everyone. Allow him one hour on the phone with you, and before you know it, you’ve just retained an incredibly ferocious, highly knowledgeable, BULL of a lawyer! Best money I have ever spent!

Dirk Padgett and his office have been absolutely amazing to work with. I’ve been going through a custody/divorce for the last 2.5 years. I retained Dirk a little over a year ago. He listens and cares about his clients and truly helps you with navigating through such an emotional and sensitive time. Dirk, Ginger and Laken all respond quickly. I have always felt reassured that I was in the best hands. I have dealt with attorneys previously who don’t have the same care this team does. They make sure to answer all questions and help you feel confident stepping into a court room. I would recommend Dirk to anyone who is in need of an attorney. They are the absolute best in our area and work hard to make sure you’re heard and give the best service!

Extremely unhelpful in trying to locate a Will for my mother. His brother was a lawyer in Salem but had retired. They refused to reach out to his brother because of a family Fued. Despite my desperate need to find her Will and where his brothers files maybe kept. They refused to even try to assist. All they had to do was send an email. But their family fued was more important than the situation I had since my mother recently passed!!!! That's sad!!!!

Response from owner

I understand your frustration during this difficult time for you. <br><br>However, as we explained, Richard Padgett was a lawyer practicing in Salem years ago and we did not have a practice together. We do not at present know his whereabouts, nor what happened to his files.

Sadly I wouldn’t want to even explain how this law firm made me feel. I trust that God works things out in due time.

Response from owner

Ma’am I understand your disappointment. But unfortunately, we cannot help clients who simply do not cooperate with their case and with whom, we do not hear from even after repeated attempts to schedule appointments to allow you case to progress. <br><br>Good luck to you in the future.

I had very unique circumstances including 1) being referred by another lawyer for him to take my case and 2) being afraid of men due to domestic disputes. However, I had no issues working with Dirk or his team towards feeling safe and represented. He was fair, honest and affordable which meant a lot in my circumstances. I thank him personally and to Laken for her follow ups and understanding with me throughout my case and for Ginger for her follow ups and scheduling due to my out of state travels and appearances. The team kept up with all of it! Grateful.

The absolute worst lawyer you could possible hire. He's greedy and doesn't care about your case at all. Stay far away!!

Absolutely the rudest staff I’ve ever encountered and that’s saying a lot. One staff member called me and told me one thing then another staff member called and told me something different and then was yelling at me over the phone. Still don’t have an answer to the question. Unprofessional and absolutely disgusting how rude they were. Would not recommend. Ginger and Laken are clearly in over their heads and unable to work effectively without unnecessary conflict. What was a very simple misunderstanding turned into a major conflict and cost them a client. Not only will I not use them I will not recommend them to anyone I know.

Response from owner

Amanda, we are sorry we were unable to assist you. Good luck to you in the future.

We were recommended to Dirk by some very close friends. His office secretary Ginger was so welcoming and understanding, she got us scheduled to come in right away. Dirk took his time with us, and was very compassionate about our situation. Laken his paralegal was always quick to respond to emails throughout this whole process. I will say that you have to trust in the process.. things don't happen overnight in the court system. We turned our trust over to him and let him fight the case for our son. He put in the time and long hours on our case and it paid off as we won in the end. We will forever be grateful for Dirk and will continue to recommend him to anyone needing a knowledgeable lawyer that will go to bat for you!

Response from owner

Kristen, <br>We are so thankful for your kind words and taking the time to provide feedback. Our firm strives to provide the very best and we are glad to hear you had a positive experience with us.

Where do I begin. Dirk isn’t just your attorney but your friend. After our first meeting I knew I was in good hands. I trusted his process every step of the way. He is a pit bull in the courtroom. You will not regret using him!!! Thank you Dirk!!!

Response from owner

Chris, <br>Thank you for taking the time and providing feedback on your experience. We appreciate you!
