Virginia’s Family Attorney

Devon Rood Slovensky

Life is full of surprises, and family life is no different.

As a child of adopted parents, I learned early on that family law provides a unique way to help people through some of the toughest times of their lives.

Now, as a Family Law Attorney and the only Attorney and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® (CDFA®) in Southwest Virginia, I work closely with my clients every step of the way to guide them toward a new stage in life.

”Ms. Slovensky was amazing in handling my divorce. She is honest and trustworthy and helped me work through the details, was very responsive to my questions as the process went along, and ultimately facilitated the best outcome.

From Legal Aid to Lasting Impact

After graduating from the University of Virginia and obtaining my J.D. from George Mason University School of Law, I began my career as a staff attorney for legal aid. I gained valuable insight into the legal system and the importance of going the extra mile for the people we serve.

I soon realized that I wanted to focus my efforts on my true passion, family law, and I made the decision to open my own firm.

For many people, their family law attorney is the only person they can turn to when their life turns upside down.

But the legal system is impersonal, technical, and confusing.

I founded my firm to clear a path through the rules and “gotchas”, to stand with my clients, and to help them rebuild their lives.

My team is dedicated to doing what needs to be done to achieve the best possible result – and that includes being honest with clients about the best legal strategies that will achieve their ultimate goals.

Above all, we believe in understanding the law well enough to recognize when we can do more than just help our clients cut the pie – and when we can, instead, make the pie bigger.
