David Roop and his team accomplished in 9 short days what three other law firms could not accomplish in three years. The result was far beyond anyone’s predictions and exceeded all expectations. They easily understood the many layers of complexity in my case. I’m so grateful for all they did for me and my children!

I highly recommend this law firm to anyone in need of such services. My case was not an easy one and I had already had experience with a bad attorney prior to coming to this firm. The thing that stands out about this firm is that they strategized with me (I did not have this experience with other attorneys) on my case and helped me navigate and explore all my options so that we could arrive at a mutual overall strategy that was best for me and my case.

I worked exclusively with Alex Xanttopoulos in this firm. Before him, I retained 7 other attorneys, and interviewed dozens more. He is as close as an attorney gets to "really care for you and your family", being upfront, about disclosing likelihood of outcomes, and cost estimates, and worthiness of a particular legal path chosen. There has been many times, where I got fired up and wanted to take a legal action, which would be in firm's financial interest, but Alex calmed me down, keeping my children's interest at heart. Among mostly corrupt legal system, where attorneys are incentivized to create work for themselves by increasing conflict between ex's, hard to find an attorney like him. Coming from someone who sued one of his attorneys for malpractice and fraud, Alex is a gem hard to find.

Alex and the team took over my case in the middle of my divorce. They were thorough, patient, sensitive and understanding to the needs of my family. Alex set realistic expectations and kept a positive outlook throughout the case.

I've known divorce lawyer David Roop for more than 15 years - he's widely regarded as a very good lawyer. According to the people I have referred to his office over the years, he has been one of the most effective family lawyers in Northern Virginia, in cases both straightforward and complex. He is smart, shrewd and energetic. Moreover, he has very good people around him - both lawyers and support staff - who are professional and hard-working. I recommend him and his firm without reservation.

I cannot express enough how impressed I was with the representation I received from Komal in my divorce proceedings. From the first day we met to discuss my case, she was open, honest, not making any guarantees about the outcome but that she would work hard in representing me.....and that she did!! She was always professional, responsive, showed much integrity and worked diligently to get me a fair settlement. I am truly satisfied with the outcome of my case. #ThankuKomal

Always available, always candid, always looking out for my best interest. I have and will continue to recommend Room Law Firm.

Sometimes life throws you a curve ball and you might find yourself in a situation where you or a family member needs family law legal representation. Because divorce can be an emotionally taxing experience for any family you will need the best in your corner. if you find yourself in this unfortunate situation then David Room and his team will fight on your behalf. 

In general divorce attorneys aren’t necessarily known for bringing people together, but that’s often a vital part of what they do. David Roop came highly recommended as an attorney who works to negotiate different options with his clients. David is a brilliant level-headed attorney who is not going to bully or create additional drama to prolong the process.

David is thorough with his attention to detail, he has knowledge of the current case law, a photographic memory and most importantly he thinks out of the box to resolve disputes. Recently for a family member he dug deep in past cases and found a case which resolved a financial dispute. I have the highest regard for him because he is a problem solver not a problem maker. Divorce lawyers shouldn't be high drama, escalating emotions and stroking egos it is about coming to a resolution so that the family can begin to heal.

Unfortunately, life is not always fair and you only get one get one shot. I would always recommend David Roop and his law firm. They are all you need for the best representation in these difficult family disputes.

David and Jennifer did a great job in representing me against a wife with overly inflated expectations set by her attorney. They tried to negotiate a reasonable settlement, always the better choice. In court we got just as we expected, nothing close to what my ex-wife's lawyer over-promised her. Got straight talk from Jennifer and David at Roop Law.

Alex Xanttopoulos was my rock while going thru my divorce, he and his staff were always available, kind and knowledgeable. They went above and beyond to help me thru the worst possible time of my life. I highly recommend their legal services.

Alex Xanttopoulos always makes time to speak with his clients and gives them sounds legal guidance. He is readily available in person, on the phone, or via email. I recommend him for your legal needs.

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.

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

David Roop is excellent! He is smart, kind, principled, and perhaps most importantly, an attorney who genuinely cares about the people he represents. He is a true professional who has the unique ability to see the big picture, but at the same time, focus like a laser beam on the smallest details. Divorce can obviously be a difficult process to go through, but from the moment you walk into his office, you are immediately put at ease. Everyone on staff is so kind and helpful, and David's calming demeanor and strong command of the law instantly makes you feel like everything is going to be okay. I truly believe that what makes David Roop such an outstanding and well-respected attorney, is the fact that he is such a kind, caring and compassionate human being.

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 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.

My family had the privilege of working with Roop Law Firm several years ago for reasons I will not go into detail. I will say it was a very tough, messy, complicated case and I am almost certain that Roop Law firm would agree in my stating that considering the nature of the case.
I have never worked with a more dedicated team of attorneys. Not only were they dedicated, they cared about us and our case in which they represented. I'm sure many people who work with Law Firms have made the statement that they only care because they are getting paid. I personally can say they truly cared about our case, the nature of the case as well as the people involved. I can truly say this because to this day, 4 1/2 years later I still stay in contact with Roop Law Firm. I still hear from members of their firm who check in to say they are thinking about us and hope we are doing well. I can not say enough great things about Roop Law Firm. To my family Roop Law Firm was a blessing from God and we could not have gone through what we went through with the outcome we had if we had any other Law Firm. Roop Law Firm deserves more than Five Stars in my book.

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.

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.

Excellent staff and legal services were always willing and able to help as I was going through a divorce. I would highly recommend the lawyers in this practice and commend them for the great services they provided

David Roop and Jennifer Babounakis are truly caring, dedicated professionals. I felt they put my best interests first and foremost and made an extremely difficult time in my life more bearable with their empathy and kindness

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.

Efficient, personable and expert representation. I never felt like just another client. I referred a friend who also received similar fantastic treatment.

This is an excellent law firm. Strongly recommend them. David Roop and Alex Xanttopoulos have done two complex and hard divorce cases for me and they have done an excellent job. They gave me great advise and looked for my long term interest.They are honest and have great integrity which is something very rare in this world.Take their advise,

Roop Law Firm has represented me for the past 4 years. My experience has been with several attorneys within the firm. They have been caring, flexible, extremely professional, and thorough. Each member of their team has taken the time to listen and provide feedback while guiding me through legal services that meet my needs in every situation. I strongly recommend their services without reservation.

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!
