DUI Defense Attorneys Helping You Keep Your License

A conviction for driving under the influence can wreak havoc in your life. Virginia’s harsh drunk driving laws not only make DUI an expensive proposition; you will lose your license and face a very real possibility of jail time. The police don’t always get it right when they stop you on suspicion of drunk driving. We’ll make sure that your rights are respected, and we’ll fight for the best result to keep you from losing your license, your job and the myriad other negative consequences of a Virginia DUI. Keep your license and keep your job. Fight your DUI with our help.

Family Law

The issues decided in a Virginia divorce immediately alter your domestic relations and continue to affect you and your family in numerous ways for years into the future. We provide strong representation from the outset, making sure you are fairly represented in matters including child custody and visitation, child support and spousal support, and the division of marital property. We’ll work with you and your partner’s attorney to create practical marital settlement agreements that meet your needs, or we’ll forcefully litigate any contested matter that can’t be resolved outside of the courtroom. Call our office for help with divorce, custody, paternity, prenuptial agreements and other important aspects of Virginia domestic relations law.

Civil Litigation

In business generally and in construction especially, time is money, and every day spent stuck in a dispute is a financial loss coming out of somebody’s pockets. We work swiftly to resolve disputes including breach of contract or tort claims such as fraud and unfair practices. Our firm has particular expertise in the enforcement of mechanic’s liens and resolution of construction disputes in Richmond and surrounding areas.

Personal Injury

Your life can change in an instant. A personal injury can put you out of work and in the hospital, wondering how you’re going to pay for your medical care and put food on the table. We build a strong case proving the negligent party’s liability to you for the full amount of your damages, so that we can negotiate a fair settlement from a position of strength or take your case before a jury as needed. We prepare every case as though it were headed for trial, and we never compromise when it’s not in your best interests.
