Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that prospective clients often have questions before reaching out to a law firm. This page addresses common questions about consultations, case types, fees, communication, and what to expect when contacting Old Dominion Trial Lawyers.
What types of matters does Old Dominion Trial Lawyers handle?
Old Dominion Trial Lawyers represents clients in a broad range of civil disputes, including business litigation, construction disputes, probate and estate litigation, real estate matters, employment-related claims, personal injury, and medical malpractice matters.
How do I request a consultation?
The best way to begin is by submitting a consultation request through the website or by calling or texting the firm directly. Provide your contact information and a brief description of your matter so the office can review your inquiry and respond regarding next steps.
Does submitting a form create an attorney-client relationship?
No. Submitting information through the website or scheduling a consultation does not create an attorney-client relationship. That relationship is formed only through a written agreement with the firm.
Is there a consultation fee?
The firm’s public site currently states that scheduling a consultation requires payment of a non-refundable $250 fee payable in advance. If that policy remains in place, it should be stated clearly on this page.
What information should I provide when I contact the firm?
Prospective clients should be prepared to provide their name, contact information, the general type of matter involved, and a short summary of the issue. In some cases, the firm may also request the names of other involved parties to complete a conflict check before moving forward.
What happens after I submit my inquiry?
Once your inquiry is received, the firm reviews the information provided and determines whether the matter appears to fit its practice. The office then follows up regarding consultation scheduling, additional intake information, or next steps.
Does the firm handle matters throughout Virginia?
Old Dominion Trial Lawyers serves clients throughout eastern and central Virginia and is based in Virginia Beach.
What if I am not sure whether my issue fits the firm’s practice?
You can still contact the firm with a brief description of the matter. The intake process can help determine whether your issue may fit the firm’s practice or whether another referral may be more appropriate.
Can I call instead of using the form?
Yes. The firm’s current contact language encourages prospective clients to call or text directly, and the website prominently lists phone and email contact information.
Should I send confidential documents before speaking with the firm?
Not unless the firm requests them. It is usually best to begin with a general description of the issue and wait for direction regarding what records or documents should be provided.
Still Have Questions?
If you are facing a significant dispute or would like to discuss whether your matter may fit the firm’s practice, contact Old Dominion Trial Lawyers to request a consultation or speak with the office directly.
