    The Greater Williamsburg area is an exciting place to live and work, especially because of the large number of entrepreneurs who have built businesses from the ground up. These entrepreneurs have taken their passion and made it their profession. Many of us want to take that step. Before you begin, you need to think of the type of business entity you want to form. Our attorneys have extensive business experience, from small one-person companies to publicly traded major corporations. Our attorneys are among the leaders in Virginia in the representation of Common Interest Communities. These communities are generally referred to as "homeowners associations," or "HOAs," and "condominium associations." In the greater Williamsburg area alone, we provide legal assistance to nearly 100 associations. Our attorneys have successfully prosecuted and defended a wide array of civil disputes involving community association covenant enforcement, commercial transactions, construction disputes, contracts, real estate matters, boundary line and easement disputes, employment matters, antitrust litigation, copyright violations, administrative proceedings, and estate issues. Real Estate law encompasses a wide variety of matters, and our attorneys have vast experience to assist you. Whether you need assistance with a commercial or residential closing, or you have questions relating to residential or commercial leasing, we provide experienced advice and counsel to our clients. Zoning law can be a complicated maze of statutes and ordinances. We have ample experience in successful applications for rezoning, variance, and special use permit requests. Finally, commercial and residential construction provide special challenges with respect to financing issues and the construction process. We serve as counsel to various financial institutions.

The 2-Minute Drill – Your daily legal update

The 2-Minute Drill

1. Tom Gear’s resignation could have big ramifications for the York County Judge vacancy (if the General Assembly decides to fund the vacancies).

2. Law talk in “True Grit”: “[Lawyer Daggett] will come after you with a writ of replevin!” Alas, “replevin” has been  abolished in Virginia. What is a “writ of replevin?” This 1825 Virginia Supreme Court case describes it in more detail, but here’s my summary: if I have a claim that another person wrongfully holds my property, under a writ of replevin the court would order the return of that property until the court could determine the rightful owner. No longer, now we only have the action of detinue, in which the person in possession keeps possession until the court’s decision.

3.     Billy the Kid is not getting pardoned. I did not know he was up for one. Because Jim Morrison of the Doors got a pardon, and the Rolling Stoned Keith Richards got a pardon, maybe the lesson is that Billy the Kid should have had a band, not a gang.
