I was very pleased with Mr. Copeland's services. I highly recommend him to anyone. He is very courteous and treats you very well.

About 7 years ago Mr. Copeland deftly and skillfully handled my divorce from a vicious harridan, at all times giving superb legal advice and defending my best interests. Because of his efforts, I received the best possible settlement. This year (March, 2016), due to my pending retirement from the military, I had to revisit my settlement. Mr. Copeland, once again, was extremely helpful and amazingly proactive. He personally took my calls, responded to my emails, and quickly answered my questions, including providing me, at no charge, certified copies of all required documents. Mr. Copeland is a gentleman and a professional. I most strongly recommend him for anyone who requires expert legal assistance. V/R Kevin Sutton

Howard Copeland is my hero!!! The first attorney I have ever met that truly cares about his clients. He literally saved me and my daughter 2 DAYS before Christmas! I will never hire anyone else!!

"Honesty" and "integrity" are not often synonymous with "attorney.". However, with Mr. Copeland, they are. He is a fantastic attorney and an incredible human being at the same time. He treated me (along with my case) like I was his only client. Phone calls were always promptly returned (never got that from any other attorney before). I recommend him highly and won't hesitate to call on him again if needed. Mr. Copeland defies every lawyer joke I've ever heard!

Mr. Copeland is the only attorney for whatever your case may be. He is honest and trustworthy you can count on his word being true. He will tell you what to expect and whether or not he will be able to help you. His fees are very reasonable and he will complete the job no matter how long it takes. He was my sons attorney while he was stationed at Norfolk. Mr. Copeland not only got the DUID charge dropped but expunged also. My only regret is he's not in Georgia. Thanks again Mr. Copeland we will always be indebted to you. God bless you always Mitch, Margie, Daniel

Mr. Copeland handled both my son's divorce and did an excellent divorce and did an excellent job so when a friend of mine needed a divorce attorney, I recommended Mr. Copeland. He was both honest and sympathetic. He made sure that documents were prepared and filed promptly and correctly. The thing that impressed me the most about Mr. Copeland is the concern and respect he showed both my son and my friend.

Howard, does not subscribe to the current, prevalent school of thought when it comes to business and the law. Howard does not "say whatever he has to say to get what he wants". He is an intelligent, extremely capable man of principle who handle my son's case as well as it could have been handled, with the best possible outcome and a most reasonable and correct fee. He went the extra mile for us, and I would recommend him with my highest concern!

WOW! I just spoke with Mr. Copeland regarding hiring an attorney for a back child support issue. He's such an honest man, he told me I could do it for free through the Division of Child Support Enforcement. What attorney turns down a prospective fee? I will definitely call him if I ever need an attorney. Thank you!

My cousin went to Mr. Copeland while he was moving , it was a chaotic time for Mr.Copeland. He told my cousin on May 1st your case will be done. Indeed on May 1st at 2:30 afternoon, Mr.Copeland called me and told me your cousin's case is done! He kept his promise ! He did exactly what he said he would do ! He always called to keep us updated! He is an amazing lawyer! He knows how to get things done and fast! Highly recommended !



Thank You So Much Mr.Copeland!

I recently used Mr. Copeland as my attorney when filing for divorce. Not only was I finally able to get divorced from my ex after waiting two long years, Mr. Copeland was able to help me recover funds for a vehicle my ex-husband had ruined after I was foolish enough to let him borrow it while separated. Of course this made me happy more importantly I was extremely impressed with Mr. Copeland when on the morning of my hearing he called me two hours prior to make sure I knew how to get to the court house and what court room I would need to go to. He also made sure he had all of his information correct regarding what I was asking for in the divorce during our conversation on the phone. Most attorneys show up 5 seconds before the court hearing and don't even know why they are there or anything about the case. It was very refreshing and I will definitely be using Mr. Copeland in the future if I require an attorney.

Years ago I kept an insert from the Virginian Pilot that was designed for locating a lawyer in the Hampton Roads area. I hoped to not ever need it but as it turned out I needed a lawyer who could take care of a divorce. I called Mr. Copeland and was immediatly put at ease that not only could he assist me but that he was a pleasure to work with. After meeting with Mr. Copeland all of my questions were answered and to my delight he was able to complete the entire process with me in only a few weeks. He was concise, compassionate, extremely well known and professional. I had no idea of his extensive and notable career until after my appointment. I would refer Mr. Copeland to anyone who needs legal assistance as this man went above and beyond to assist me with this and other legal issues.

Mr. Copeland is awesome and caring man. His honesty was very refreshing after speaking with several other lawyers about restoring my right to carry firearms(2nd amendment) that where taken from a charge I caught earlier in my twenties. I came in for a console and mr. Copeland told me this was something he had never done but would be very interested in helping me. After week I decided to retain him he got work promptly I was on the docket in no time everything I had read said months he did it in weeks. After a few visits and calls I told him how nervous I was he took the time out of his evenings to call me and let me know he understood and everything would be okay. We went to court and stood before the judge and mr. Copeland did his thing successfully. I can't thank him enough for what he has done for me I now can hunt with my family again I now have the opportunity to take my kids hunting when they are ready, but I also got the chance to meet a interesting man that I can call not only my lawyer but my friend. Heaven forbid I ever need a lawyer again but if I do he is it hands down. Thank you Mr. Copeland

After doing research and reading about different divorce attorneys online, I chose to seek out Mr. Copeland for a consultation. After explaining the complex nuances of my particular situation, Mr. Copeland explained what avenues would be open to me. Rather than just taking on my case, he explained that the most effective and easiest way to proceed would be one that actually prevents me from retaining him as my attorney. He took the time to explain a few of the points I'd need to know going forward. He also pointed out new questions to ask and things to consider. Before leaving the consultation, he even welcomed me to call him back if there were any other questions I needed asking. And this after I didn't retain him! He does genuinely care about the people who walk through his office doors. I have no doubt he'd be a great asset to have on your side in any case.

Mr. Copeland is not only the best attorney but also is very understanding and makes his clients feel like they are a his number 1 clients. Mr. Copeland cares for his clients. I was caught for solicitation for Prositution and use of vehicle not only did I learn a valuable lessen but Mr. Copeland was there to help when i needed it the most in the court room. It was dropped can any other Attorney's do that...

Mr. Copeland represented me on my accident case. He got me everything I asked for and more. He treated my case with utmost diligence and urgency to make sure that it would be completed in a timely fashion. He guaranteed that he would succeed in winning my case - and he did. My medical bills were covered and I was given some extra compensation for my pain and suffering. I would highly recommend Mr. Copeland's services for all legal matters, and he is very personable.

Mr. Copeland is arguably the finest lawyer in Hampton Roads to have on your side when seeking a divorce. With his assisstance he was able to finalize our divorce in less than one month as he had promised. He is always punctual and patient to make sure he addresses every concern you may have in your divorce case. Hiring him as your representative in a divorce case is a decision you will never regret.



PS It is a shame that he was not able to gain entry into the Congress as our representative in the House.

Mr. Copeland represented me throughout my divorce. He was extremely professional and his assistant was absolutely great. I would definitely recommend Mr. Copeland !! I'm very happy that I chose Mr. Copeland to represent me !!

Mr.Copeland represented me throughout my divorce. He got me everything I wanted I'm truly happy with the results! He was extremely professional and his assistant was absolutely wonderful. I hope to never get divorced again :) but I would definitely recommend Mr. Copeland! He is a fair lawyer that is very reasonable when it comes to cost and payments for services. I'm soo happy that I chose Mr.Copeland to represent me!! If you have any questions he will answer them quickly, if you need representation give him a call and at least get a consult from him to compare him to other lawyers because I sure did. I could tell immediately that he was different from all the other lawyers I talked too. Like I said I'm absolutely please with the results and with Mr.Copeland and his assistant help throughout this difficult process.
