–Our lawyers are unusual. We encourage our lawyer to become leaders in our state and community. Elected officials – including the House Majority Leader in the state legislature, the House Chairman of the Judiciary Committee in the legislature, and a Supervisor in the Prince William County Board of Supervisors (local government) are all among our lawyers. Our lawyers also include leaders in the bar and community organizations – from homeowners associations to the Cub Scouts.
–We are one of Virginia’s few medium sized law firms with a statewide presence. We cover the Commonwealth of Virginia with five offices throughout Virginia and the Washington, D.C. area.
–We teach law to other lawyers (and to judges). We regularly teach our practice areas to other lawyers and to judges at popular continuing legal education seminars. Such seminars have included topics such as Employment Law, Civil Procedure, E-Commerce, Evidence, Ethics, Legislative Updates, and Criminal Defense. Please visit our “Seminar Page” for a listing.
–We write the practice guides used by other lawyers to practice law. Other lawyers use our practice guides and published articles in their own practices. Our publications include the Wage & Hour Handbook used by the Virginia Chamber of Commerce, the Human Resource Manual used by the Fairfax County Bar Association, and manuals for criminal defense.
–We have hundreds upon hundreds of trials under our belt. Our attorneys include five former prosecutors. The trial skills gained as a prosecutor – such as voir dire, evidence, jury selection, motions in limine, objections, closing statements — apply to all courts in both civil and criminal law. Too many lawyers these days appear in court for a bona fide trial so infrequently that they are truly uncomfortable. We aren’t.
–We are sought by the national media to comment on the law. We have been featured over 100 times in the national media – such as FOX News and CNN. Please visit our “In the News Page” for a listing or our media apperances.
–We are recognized by the media and other lawyers. We have been recognized as “Legal Elite” by Virginia Business magazine, “Leaders in the Law” by Virginia Lawyers Weekly, as “Top Lawyers” by both Washingtonian magazine and Northern Virginia magazine, and “Super Lawyers” by Law and Politics magazine.
