Family Law
The area of family law has numerous components to it, i.e., divorce, distribution of property, child custody, child support, and spousal support. Adoption is covered in another section. Most of our divorce cases are resolved by negotiation, mediation or collaboration. However, when these fail, we are able to litigate, and we have a history of successful litigation in these areas. We attempt to settle every case, realizing the expense and trauma of the litigation process. We have four members of the firm who primarily practice family law, namely, Ronald R. Tweel, Elizabeth P. Coughter, William C. Scott IV, and Katharine A. Brookeman. The lawyers charge an hourly rate, with a descending scale of rates depending upon the experience of the attorney.
Members of our group have been recognized for their expertise and selected for various leadership roles, including President of the Virginia State Bar Family Law Section, President of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Associations Family Law Section, elected into the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, selected into the American College of Family Trial Lawyers, selected as the “Best Lawyers in America” for numerous years, selected by the Virginia Business magazine as the legal elite, and rated as a “Super Lawyer.”
