September Girl’s Night Out at Ocean View Fishing Pier!

We really did have the best of intentions.  After 2.5+ years of living in a pandemic, we tried to schedule our first Girl’s Night Out at the Ocean View Fishing Pier’s top deck in August. We planned it.  We had the food ordered.  The venue set.  We were thinking happy thoughts about orange crushes and…

Divorce and Adultery in Virginia: I want to depose his girlfriend!

As far as procedure is concerned, adultery cases are some of the most difficult fault based divorce cases you can come across in Virginia. You have to meet a pretty strict standard of proof to satisfy the judge, you have to have a corroborating witness, and, of course, you have to follow all the local…

April Girl’s Night Out with Hofheimer Family Law

If you made it to our Valentine’s Day Girl’s Night Out event at the Banque, you know what I’m talking about!

Sheera Herrell to Teach Virginia Lawyers Continuing Education

Not all attorneys are created equal. You know that, of course, but that doesn’t mean that it’s easy to just know who these superior attorneys are. Well, lucky for you – I’ll tell you. The cream of the crop are often the attorneys who are selected to present continuing education classes (CLEs, we call them…

Karaoke Night: Coming Up Soon!

If you’ve been watching us for a little while, you probably already know about our Girl’s Night Out events. I don’t mean to toot our own horn or anything, but they’re kind of a big deal. Actually, no other family law firm is doing anything like this; well, to be fair to them, it’d be…
