Thank you for the seminar.  It was tremendously helpful and empowered me to stand up for myself.

Sharon

I greatly appreciate the book and can't begin to thank you enough.  It has given me guidance and a starting point at a time when I felt REALLY lost.  It was a great relief to get the book because it answered many of my questions and guided me on things I hadn't even thought about yet.  Thank you so much!

Stacey

I read your book and found it very helpful.  I liked the section that talked about divorce being a difficult decision.  I am still in the process of thinking about it, but feel like I should do everything I can to try to make it work.  If I do decide to move forward with a divorce, I'll be calling your office.

Catherine

Please, keep the emails coming.

I'm taking things one day at a time.  After thirty years of marriage, and with an 8 week old grandson, he wants out.

Thank you for sending all the information and support I so need.

Patti

Charlie,

Your book is a great asset to me as I prepare for my divorce.  Without the book and the seminars, I would have known nothing about my rights and would have walked away with practically nothing.  I appreciate the fact that you, as a male, have looked to help women through this very emotional battle and help guide us into financial stability by teaching us about our rights.

Patti

This was my second visit to Second Saturday.  I came 10-11 years ago the first time, but my daughter begged me to stay in my marriage so I did.  You provide a unique and needed service.  I need to move on with my life and I have been given this chance, so I will be keeping track of what I need to do next.  The seminar was fantastic.  Thanks for the information.

Terri

I found your e-book a good primer in understanding the legal issues of divorce.  It was well organized, written in plain English, and covered a wide range of issues.

It was also written without too much fear factor, which works AGAINST the interests of women.

Thank you,

Cynthia

Charlie,

Several years ago, I got divorced.  One of your attorneys represented me, and she did a great job!

I called your office several weeks ago for a good friend of mine who is struggling with her divorce/separation.  I ordered the book for her, but I read a lot of it before I gave it to her.  What a valuable tool it is. 

Lori

Charlie,

I really found the book to be very informative.

Cindy

When I received your book, I was so distraught and upset about all the things I was going through.  I cried all over it.  I honestly believe that Virginia has made getting a divorce so difficult, and that's why there's so many old couples together when all the love has left.

Your book should be sent to each and every woman who is lost in an emotional struggle and has no idea what to do next.  I have separated from my husband while living under the same roof.  I wouldn't have known how to do this if it weren't for your book.  Because of your book, I'm on the right track now.

Dear Mr. Hofheimer,

I took your class in 1993 after a neighbor told me about it, and it was a real blessing.  I learned a lot and took it to heart, earning three degrees since that time.  I am now an Intensive In-Home Counselor helping families in crisis.  I referred multiple people to your seminars when I lived in Virginia Beach (until 2007).

I never thought I would need to read this book, but since I can't go to another seminar, I sincerely thank you for the free book.  I wish your office was closer!  I now live in the Appalachian mountains.

My 15 year old son and I survived because of the information I learned in your seminar.

Thank you for your free book, your practice, and sharing of information, which I consider to be a ministry.

Jill

Kristen,

Thank you so much for this wonderful book and website link.  I sent it out to all the single moms in my email group.  I have over 200!

May God bless your endeavors.

Sylvia

The book was great.  Very well done and useful.  I shared it with my friend in Virginia, too.

Karen

Your book has been a great source of information, comfort, and encouragement.

Sherry

I was not financially able to retain an attorney and pay the additional hourly fee, so the details in your book helped me organize my thoughts, questions, and paperwork before talking to an attorney.  I was able to hire an attorney on an hourly basis.  These preparations made it easier to expect the unexpected during my separation agreement negotiations. 

Thank you very much.  Your book was very helpful, and I thank you for providing this service to women.

Sue

I ordered the book for my neighbor.  I think it has great information in it and it's easy to understand.  I wish I had gotten a copy of the book when my husband left.

Karmen

The most valuable element of your book, to me, was the importance of having an attorney before doing anything.  Thank you.

L

Charlie,

My husband and I are currently in marriage counseling, but hoping to work things out.  Thank you so much for the valuable information from the book, your website, and in your emails.

Barbara

Charlie,

I just finished reading your book.  I wish I had read it sooner in the process, but it was still very helpful.  My case involves a lot of separate property on both sides, so that section was especially helpful to me.  Thank you.

Boo

Charlie,

I would like to thank you very much for the information in your book.  It has been very helpful to me.  I brought divorce up to my husband but he definitely doesn't want that.  We have been seeking counseling for the past two months and it has been very helpful.  I'm keeping all the information you send me just in case.

Valerie

Charlie,

I learned a lot from your book.  I'm not sure I'm ready to go through with a divorce yet.  Thank you for the book and the messages from your partners.

Suzanne

Mr. Hofheimer,

I found your book VERY informative.  I am currently using a mediator and was able to answer some of the questions I had just by reading your book without asking my lawyer.  This, of course, saved me quite a bit of money!  I am hanging on to the book to go back to it for reference later.  Thanks so much for putting it together.  It was such a tremendous help!

Tina

Shannon has such a sensitive, warm, and caring heart.  She has worked so hard for me and never backed down to an opposing attorney.  When I first met her, I saw the concern in her eyes--I will never forget that!  Shannon is always prepared to the max and has done a great job for me.  I would recommend Shannon Lemm to anyone.

Rosalie

When my ex-spouse of 21+ years informed me that he was involved with another woman and planned on leaving, I was emotionally devastated and knew that my world had changed drastically.  Upon the advice of a friend, I attended Second Saturday, where Ms. Lemm provided an overview of the divorce process that armed me with the knowledge I needed.  Although I interviewed several attorneys, none of them expressed the compassion as well as the knowledge that Ms. Lemm displayed. 

Ms. Lemm was diligent, displayed a level of expertise in applying the law, and yet was compassionate to my plight.  The phrase stated is, "it's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog."  I believe that, because she represented me, the judge made a reasonable settlement decision.  I believe in divine connections and know that God allowed our paths to cross at my time of greatest need.  Ms. Lemm was an answer to a prayer and I highly recommend her to any woman who finds herself faced with the challenge of divorce.

Sylvia

Shannon,

Thank you so much for your tenacity in the courtroom and throughout your handling of my divorce and custody case.  You always treated me with respect, listened to what I had to say, and used what I said wisely.  I know that you were invested in my case and are genuinely concerned about my son and I.

Leslie

I read your book and will continue to refer to it on my journey through this.  The book is an easy read and a wonderful guide as to where you are going and what you will need to do for yourself and your family.  I also attended one of your Second Saturday seminars, which is another important asset that you offer.  Please continue doing what you're doing in the community because your books should be a woman's bible on divorce.

Susan

Charlie,

Your book was fantastic!  The details about the legal process were most helpful to me as the average person has no idea how the law reads and how that will affect your divorce.  The step-by-step approach explaining the process was very easy to understand and made me more comfortable with how to proceed.  I read the book cover to cover and have it tucked away in my bedroom for reference as we proceed through the divorce.  Thank you for writing the book and making the topic easy to understand since anyone considering divorce is stressed and needs uncomplicated explanations.

Nancy

Charlie,

I was finally able to read the book; it was so informative.  Thank you for all the work you and your firm do to help victims of domestic violence.

Melinda

Charlie,

Your book on divorce was absolutely spellbinding!  After I started reading, I simply couldn't stop.  It was packed full of information that I'll need in the very near future.  What I liked most was the description of the legal process, which told me what I can and can't do and, more importantly, what my spouse can and can't do.

Leah

Charlie,

My favorite part of the book is the section on what it takes to be separated.  My husband and I are still living in the same house, so that helps a lot.  Thank you.

Lisa

I love the book.  Most of the anxiety I had before I read it is now gone.  Thank you, thank you so much.

Dawn

I loved your book.  All the information was very helpful.

Dee

Charlie,

Your information is very helpful, especially for those who may not have the money to hire their own attorney.

Barbara

 First of all, I would like to say thank you very much for the free copy of your book. 
Secondly, I would like to let you know that the information that I read in your book
has helped me a lot to be less ignorant regarding this type of information.  Before I
read this book, I felt like I was blind whom my husband kept lying and threaten me.   I
will attend the seminar and I will make an appointment.
Once again thank you so much for this book.
  
Lucia

Good afternoon.  I have received your book.  I attended the seminar on Tuesday and
did not realize it was the same book that I read at the seminar.  The seminar provided
me with some compelling information.  I would strongly recommend this to any woman
contemplating divorce.  Divorce is never easy no matter how one looks at it
especially when children are involved.  For years I have allowed two individuals in
particular to intimidate me to the point where I felt so unworthy.  They prey upon the
weak and I let that fear and intimidation hold me back for so long.  They knew I would
believe anything.  I have gotten so much stronger over the past year and I am truly
proud of myself and the seminar just made my strength even greater. Knowledge is
definitely power.  I already feel a tremendous burden has been lifted because of the
knowledge I have gained.  Thanks so much!

"I want to thank you for all the hard work you did on my case!" - Kim

Kristen and Diane:

Words cannot express my level of gratitude for what you two have done for my family. After spending thousands of dollars on 3 other attorneys that did nothing but hurt me instead of help me, I finally found you. I knew I had found the people who were going to help me get my kids back. You did it with integrity, and with my children's' best interests in mind. It was the first time I had dealt with a lawyer who actually listened to what I had to say instead of how much money was in my pocket. You weren't afraid to challenge the opposition (and you proved that when you made my ex squirm on the stand). I have never seen someone work so hard for what is right....you really made me and my family feel like we were YOUR family. You two are worth every penny and I wish I would have hired you from the start.

Please accept my most sincere thanks for everything you have done. You will always be a part of our family.

Thank you,

Jennifer

"If I were going through a divorce in Virginia or considering getting divorced there, I'd absolutely, 100% read Charlie's book before hiring a lawyer or making any decisions at all. In fact, I think it's a must read for every person going through divorce in Virginia, not just women!"

"Dear Mr. Hofheimer,
     My daughter and I have spent much time trying to obtain financial assistance for her and her twins. It was fruitless until we were recommended to your firm. Our initial consultation with you sparked hope. You seemed to be a man capable of getting a job done. You turned our case over to Sheera Herrell who reflected your reputation and firm in a most commendable way. She was accessible, knowledgeable of our case and quick to act. We felt represented and protected in a most fundamental way. Our family sends your firm a boquet of gratefulness."
