Our Goal is to provide fast, friendly, quality services to the Tidewater area at affordable prices. Many attorneys will claim that they offer "excellent" legal services, but in reality they are no different than any other lawyer. When you meet with us, our goal is to give you the best legal advice possible; even if that means that we don't get to represent you. In many cases that will mean that we represent you in court, but in some cases we give you good legal advice on how to solve the problem without litigation. For example, many lawyers will "push" their clients into a contested divorce or bankruptcy so that they can charge legal fees. However, in some cases we will offer our clients the opportunity to resolve their situation with other opinions, for example, consolidation loans, payment plans, settlements and more.

We believe that everyone should be able to have an attorney represent them in court. There is an old saying that rings true far too often, "the man who represents himself in court has a fool for a lawyer." Today this is more true than ever, it is almost impossible to "cut through all the red tape" without an exceptional attorney by your side. What happens to those that can not afford an attorney? We offer highly competitive prices and payment plans for those seeking legal services. We offer free initial consultations on most legal matters. We also offer trial preparation services for those who wish to represent themselves. Our trial preparation services would include consultations with an attorney, paralegal, document preparation, and letter writing. This is a good way to receive good legal advice without the expense of hiring an attorney to go to court.

Another important aspect of our firm is quality service. Many firms these days will have their client meet at "satellite" offices that are only open one or two days a week, or even worse, meeting with paralegals. Paralegals are an important part of any practice, but they are not there to meet with a client on an initial consultation to determine the course of the client's legal representation. A paralegal works at the direction of the lawyer, not the other way around. We have friendly, caring paralegals to assist you, but they work on your case after an attorney has had an opportunity to meet with you and determine the nature of your legal needs. The problem with "satellite" offices is they are very convenient the first day you meet with the lawyer, but after that the office is always closed and the lawyer is never around to meet with you. We have three lawyers on staff and two offices, not three offices and only two lawyers.
