So, you’ve spent money on a consultation fee and you’ve met with an attorney to discuss your legal matter…but, something just doesn’t feel quite right about that attorney. Should you hire the attorney because you just shelled out your hard-earned money for the consult? Should you meet with another attorney for a second opinion? The answer to this is simple …

Holcomb earned an MBA from Old Dominion University at night and then enrolled at the Regent University School of Law. Today, in recognition of his many professional achievements, distinguished Virginia attorney Wayne E. Holcomb has been selected for admission to the Esteemed Lawyers …
When you decide it is time to call an attorney, you are rarely happy, usually stressed, and you’re likely to have many, many questions. Is it too soon, or too late, to speak with someone? How much? How will I know if the attorney is a right fit for me? What do I do after the consultation? We hear several …
So, you’ve passed the “once upon a time” and you’re on your way to the “happily ever after,” when your husband or wife-to-be brings up those dreaded words: “prenuptial agreement.” Most of us only have the experience of a prenuptial agreement, or prenup for short, based on their portrayals in movies, television, and from Kanye West (“We want Prenup”).

Here’s some truth for you, a reckless driving by speed ticket in Virginia can be very sneaky. It’s sneaky because it looks like a simple traffic violation—even the yellow paper the officer gave you looks like a traffic ticket. You were just going a little too fast, right? Time to just pay the fine and move on, right? Nope, I …
Once in a while, I am asked, “Why shouldn’t I hire the cheapest attorney? Aren’t you lawyers all the same anyway?” Most of our clients actually don’t ask this question because they are taking their cases seriously and looking for quality counsel. But when you are in the beginning stages of looking for a law firm — perhaps maybe even …
We get calls all the time from potential clients who have a court hearing coming up soon — like, tomorrow, or right now. They need advice, and they need it quick. In the past, we were almost always able to accommodate clients at the last minute but as we have grown, it seems as though our calendars have shrunk! If …
Let’s face it, hiring a professional can be expensive, especially if you hire a good professional. There is no denying that you can be smart and still need a professional with experience in a particular field in which you are not trained. Most lawyers I know hire other lawyers to represent them when they are faced with a legal issue. …
This is a good question and one that we hear all the time. As a lawyer, I am of course, obliged to always give the first lawyer answer: and that is, “it depends!” Sorry about that, but it’s so often true. A successful accusation of abandonment, or desertion, in a Virginia divorce, depends on several factors, but is mostly centered …
