Who we serve
We represent clients in dispute resolution and litigation throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. Our offices are located in Virginia Beach and Smithfield. We are closest to courts in the Hampton Roads area; however, we take cases in all corners of the state. We are also accessible to manage litigation throughout the United States; however, there are limits to our ability because we are only licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia. We can make appearances in other states where permitted by local rules and the court. Primarily, we represent clients on dispute resolution matters and manage litigation in matters arising from business transactions and commercial contracts. Further, our specialized knowledge in franchise law makes us uniquely qualified for franchisee litigation and franchisor litigation. The first step is to see if we are the right attorney for your case. We offer free phone and video consultations.
