Meet Caitlin

After a lengthy struggle with infertility, including IUI and IVF, Caitlin Walters and her husband, Lance, welcomed their son to the family. Convinced that they were called to bring another child into the world, they started to look into other options to complete their family before finally settling on adoption. They brought their daughter home in 2022, and finalized their open adoption in March of 2023.

Though Caitlin would still welcome more children to the family, if the opportunity presented itself, the strong likelihood is that her family – once so earnestly prayed for – is complete. Caitlin is grateful every day for her children, husband, friends, and faith, and the role that each played in her long and complicated journey through motherhood so far.

Professionally, too, motherhood is a central focus for Caitlin. She joined our team in 2013 after training and practicing as a Guardian ad litem, an attorney who represents the children whose parents are involved in contested custody cases, and ultimately makes recommendations regarding appropriate placement for the children based on the best interests of the child factors.
Though she doesn’t currently do Guardian ad litem work, she brings this experience to the table in the custody cases she has handled in the past decade with our firm. Caitlin particularly enjoys representing Virginia moms in custody cases, especially in cases where breastfeeding, relocation, drug and/or alcohol abuse, and mental illness are factors. She has been featured in several of episodes of the HofLine, the official Hofheimer Family Law Firm podcast, on issues related to custody and visitation.

Caitlin is a knowledgeable but approachable attorney who is as comfortable drafting documents regarding complicated property distribution or handling complex military divorces as litigating custody arrangements in front of a judge. Caitlin is a fierce advocate for her clients and a meticulous and incredibly detail oriented attorney. Both her faith and her journey to build her family inform her practice every single day, and her favorite part of the job is helping women navigate this difficult time in their lives and come up with creative solutions that allow them to be the kinds of moms to their children that they always wanted to be.

“I think it’s important that women find representation by people who know the law but also care about them as individuals, and understand that there is a lot more than just the ‘legal’ stuff that goes into a divorce or custody case for our clients,” Caitlin says.
Caitlin is happily married to her high school sweetheart, Lance, a gregarious former DJ turned IT services and staffing account manager, who she met when she was just 16 years old. She Lance live in Virginia Beach with their two kids and their Weimaraner, Carp. They are also active members in their church, First Baptist Church of Norfolk, where they run an adult life group and lead worship regularly, which they have done together since they were in high school.

In her spare time, Caitlin enjoys reading and music. She was a member of her church choir from the age of 3, and can also play the trumpet and the piano. Caitlin loves the St. Louis Cardinals, her Kindle, swimming, traveling, being with her family, and being outdoors (except the beach/sand, which she hates).

Though we can’t guarantee results, and every case is different, we’ve had some pretty happy clients over the years!
