If you have a court date, I can help!At my firm we work hard to take the mystery out of the courthouse experience. We're very sensitive to the fact that most folks don't call on an attorney because things are going well in their life -- it is usually just the opposite. We serve up a healthy dose of compassion in every representation we accept.NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: the fact that satisfied clients and colleagues who know my work have endorsed me does not change the fact that every case is different. Despite my accolades accumulated over the years in a particular aspect of the practice of law, they do not represent a guarantee that my work on your case will bring an identical result.I focus my practice in traffic and criminal misdemeanor defense, civil litigation, wills and estates, and real property. I superintend my firm's real estate settlement transactions, and we are actively partnering with nonresident law firms as local (Virginia) counsel preparing Virginia deeds and related documents for conveyances statewide.Also, trusts & estates, guardianships, conservatorships, and family law. We have a niche practice representing canine felons. Yes - dogs on death row.We also are active in the lively practice area of immigration.
