Sarah Goding

Firm: Sarah G. Goding
4085 Chain Bridge Road, Suite 300 , Fairfax , Virginia 22030
Practice Areas: Family, Divorce, Child Custody, Child Support, Alimony
Sarah is a dynamic family law attorney with extensive experience assisting federal employees, military servicemembers and their spouses navigate divorces, child custody and support matters in Northern Virginia. She is also well versed in the matters of military and federal retirement benefits. Additionally, Sarah is a certified collaborative divorce attorney who has assisted clients reach successful settlements without the need for expensive and lengthy litigation.. Sarah holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Old Dominion University, where she majored in Criminal Justice and received a minor in Psychology, and graduated cum laude, from University of the District of Columbia, David A Clarke School of Law. While attending law school Sarah represented clients starting non-profits and low-income cooperatives in the Community Development Law Clinic, and participated in the Juvenile & Special Education Clinic, where she represented children and parents, primarily in special education matters in Washington D.C. schools.. When she is not in the office, Sarah enjoys cycling, hiking, and spending time with her husband and two sons.. “While litigation is very much a part of my practice, I have always enjoyed mediation and negotiations much more. I find that these types of resolutions in family law cases get both people closer to what they want to achieve than anything that a court can do. There is definitely a time and a place for litigation, but I believe that many cases never need to see the inside of a courtroom. Collaborative Law allows more flexibility than other choices of litigation alternatives, and allows the people at the heart of the matter to make creative decisions that will work best for them and their families. I believe that being in control of such decisions is best for a changing family dynamic and allows the parties to move forward with their lives feeling that they had control over the outcome of this very difficult time in their lives.”

Samuel Leven

Firm: The Baldwin Law Firm, LLC
2915 Hunter Mill Rd Ste 18 , Oakton , Virginia 22124
Practice Areas: Family, Appeals, Landlord & Tenant, Litigation
Senior Associate Samuel A. Leven, Esq. has been working for The Baldwin Law Firm since December of 2010. A foreign service child, Sam spent his early childhood in Germany, Hungary and Sweden before settling down in Northern Virginia at the age of nine, where he has remained a resident ever since. Sam attended Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology and then moved on to the University of Virginia for both college and law school. While at U.Va., Sam was a trial "counsel" charged with defending fellow students facing expulsion because they were accused of violating the school’s Honor Code.  In law school he participated in clinics which included representation of death row inmates during their post-conviction process and appellate litigation.. After graduating from law school, Sam served as a fellow with the Public Defender’s Office in Loudoun County where he represented indigent defendants facing jailable misdemeanor charges. After his fellowship, he joined The Baldwin Law Firm where he developed his own niche practice within the firm. In addition to handling family law cases (including adoption), Sam also handles landlord/tenant matters, appellate litigation, defamation defense, and debt collection matters (representing both creditors and debtors), and has accepted a number of pro bono appointments in civil matters through Legal Services of Northern Virginia. Thanks to his successful representation of numerous clients, Sam has received Martindale-Hubbell's Client Champion Gold designation (formerly known as its Client Distinction Award) every year since 2013.  Sam is admitted to appear in front of all state-level trial and appellate courts in Virginia and DC, as well as the federal Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court.  He has also written extensively about the law, having had an article on mandatory imputation of income in support cases published in the June, 2017 edition of Virginia Lawyer Magazine (official publication of the Virginia State Bar), and having maintained a legal blog titled The Law is Your Friend.. In the broader legal community, Sam is a member of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association and the Fairfax Bar Association (FBA). Sam is very active with the FBA, serving on its Circuit Court Committee (including its Domestic Relations Sub-Committee) and Legislative Committee (for which he is currently serving as Chair). Sam has also formerly served on the FBA's Lawyer Referral Service Committee and General District Court Committee.  Sam helped prepare the 2015 version of the Fairfax County Pro Se Divorce Packet, was a contributor to the 2018 version of the Fairfax Circuit Court Practice Manual, and has been a presenter in several of the Domestic Relations Sub-Committee's "brown bag lunch series" legal education presentations.  Sam also serves as a motions conciliator with the FBA’s motions conciliation program - a free mediation program that seeks to resolve certain contested motions on the Fairfax Circuit Court's Friday Motions Day docket.. In June of 2017, Sam was elected by the Virginia State Bar Council to serve a three year term as a member of the Fifth District Committee, Section III.  District Committees serve as a core function of the Virginia State Bar's disciplinary system, as District Committees (and their subcommittees) oversee investigations of complaints of misconduct against attorneys, adjudicate the claims, refer cases to the statewide Disciplinary Board where a sanction of suspension or disbarment might be warranted, and issue lesser sanctions.  In this role, Sam helps to preserve the integrity of the legal profession in Virginia, and protect the public from unethical conduct by attorneys.. At home, Sam is a married father of two children and one dog whose passions include politics, the Washington Nationals, and goofing off with his kids. Sam is a member of the Fairfax County Democratic Committee and is a clarinet player with the Main Street Community Band in the City of Fairfax Band Association.
