Covid-19 Information and Resources

June 2020

To our valued clients and friends,

As you are all undoubtably aware, the Covid-19 pandemic has brought much of the world to a crawl in a matter of days.  Rest assured, Hofheimer Family Law Firm has business continuity plans in place to ensure we can continue to provide our services in a timely and effective manner. In an effort to do our part in slowing the spread of the virus, we are exercising social distancing measures and we have made the following changes in our day-to-day operations as follows:

  • All appointments and meetings will be held electronically via phone, video chat or email.
  • We have enabled a flexible workforce strategy to include teleworking.
  • We will continue to provide updates if our operations change

Our virtual office hours have not changed.  We are open Monday-Thursday 8:30am-5pm and Friday 8:30am-4pm and you can continue to call 757-425-5200 to reach us by phone.

If you have any documents to submit pertaining to your case, please scan them and send via email.  If you do not have access to a scanner, we recommend this free app available from Adobe. https://acrobat.adobe.com/us/en/mobile/scanner-app.html

The Supreme Court of Virginia has entered an order declaring a Judicial Emergency until June 28th. Effective May 18, 2020, all courts may hear in-person non-emergency matters if they determine it is safe to do so.  If you believe you have an emergency custody issue or a need to petition for a protective order, please contact us.     More details regarding the emergency order are available here:
