Experienced Virginia Divorce Attorneys

Dissolving the powerful legal, financial, and emotional ties of marriage through divorce can be a difficult and devastating process. If divorce can’t be avoided, our Richmond attorneys will suggest the couple attempt to come to an agreement through mediation or collaborative law techniques, and only when it is clear that those options will not protect our client do we recommend taking a divorce to court.

If a divorce does go to trial (litigation), our lawyers are powerful and determined advocates. As a client said of Trial Lawyer Phoebe Hall after watching her in court, “You are not on defense, but on offense... she takes complete control.”

We represent clients in all areas of family law, including:

• Divorce: You and your spouse may be in complete agreement, involved in a heated battle, or somewhere between. We will help you find the best path to resolution of your issues. Our Virginia divorce attorneys are skilled negotiators and effective trial attorneys – capable of protecting your interests in and out of Virginia courtrooms.

• Child Custody and Visitation: Children need to know that they will still have two parents after the divorce – we will help you find the agreement that is in their best interests.

• Alimony: We will evaluate the earning potential and expenses of both parties, and insist on a fair spousal support arrangement.

• Your Rights: Husbands’, wives’, mothers’, and fathers’ rights to support and visitation are at the core of many divorce disputes. Our Virginia attorneys will clearly explain the legal issues and your options, and help you develop a plan tailored to your unique situation.

• Property Division: Our attorneys have the experience to evaluate a couple’s estate and consider all implications of each option in the division of property.

• Collaborative Law: Collaborative law techniques can help you and your family minimize the animosity and financial impact of divorce.
