Divorce for Women of Virginia: It’s What We Do!
That’s right, we represent women ONLY!
We provide both trial tested experience and fearless advocacy for women who are forward thinking and interested in the best outcome for themselves and their children. Because of our dedication to understanding the unique issues confronting women when separation and/or divorce begins, our firm is chosen specifically by women from all over Virginia who are seeking powerful, effective legal help. We are fully devoted to family law.
The attorneys at Hofheimer/Ferrebee understand that divorce is an uncertain and difficult time. You need thoughtful attorneys experienced at navigating this tumultuous terrain.
Our clients appreciate that we are lawyers who are not afraid to roll up our sleeves and get the work done. Clients will also tell you we understand the divorce process inside and out and are able to use that knowledge to achieve desired results. Most importantly, our clients have taught us that you want an attorney who listens, informs, supports and advocates on your behalf.
WHY HOFHEIMER/FERREBEE?
The attorneys at Hofheimer/Ferrebee are proud to have assisted, educated and fought for thousands of women throughout their divorce processes. For years, we have aggressively dealt with the many complexities of custody and divorce trials, negotiations, property settlements, alimony and retirement.
We are not just tough litigators but also firm, determined negotiators.
We regularly represent women in the Circuit Courts and Juvenile and Domestic Relations Courts in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Newport News, Hampton and Accomac, and in the North Carolina District Courts of Currituck, Dare and Perquimans. Throughout Hampton Roads and Tidewater Virginia, on the Southside as well as the Peninsula, from the Outer Banks to the Eastern Shore, we ensure that our clients are prepared for the intricacies involved in their custody, child support, spousal support, pension benefits and property trials or negotiations.
Our clients have full confidence in the fact that the Hofheimer/Ferrebee law firm has an outstanding support staff as well as relationships with many mental health and financial professionals, both locally and nationally.
The attorneys of Hofheimer/Ferrebee strongly believe that divorce is not the end of an old life but can be the beginning of a new and better one. Let us help you start your new life.
Why women only?
In 1992, Charlie Hofheimer was concerned with the contradictions and conflicts that arose when attorneys represented a Father/Husband in one case and a Mother/Wife in the next. He decided to do what no one in Virginia had done before – create a unique law firm dedicated solely to educating and representing Women in divorce and custody cases.
In June of 2002, Jack Ferrebee and Charlie Hofheimer joined their practices to expand the legal services available to their respective clients.
Over the years, our attorneys and staff have developed a method of serving our clients that emphasizes compassionate understanding of their individual situations with effective advocacy of their cases. Our attorneys are recognized statewide and nationally for their ability to help resolve difficult issues with forward thinking legal strategies. Our goal is to achieve the best results for our clients, through negotiation when possible or litigation when necessary.
Your Future Starts Now: A Brief Primer on Choosing Your Goals
- Our most successful clients are those who are optimistic about their future, while being grounded in the present.
- The clients who work best with our firm are those that choose to move forward to their future, rather than dwelling on the contradictions of their past. While expecting a fair settlement on all issues is a given, staying focused on your future opportunities is also an essential element of a successful divorce.
- To help our clients achieve their goals, we recommend to each client that she use a qualified divorce coach and divorce financial planner. (You can see lists of qualified divorce coaches and qualified divorce financial planners at www.VirginiaCollaborativelaw.com.)
It goes without saying that clients who are informed about the divorce process are more likely to obtain better outcomes. Because of our belief in clients being educated and informed, we are in our 18th year of providing our monthly three-hour seminar “What Women Need to Know About Divorce.” This seminar is made available to women three times a month. (Call 757-456-1574 or to www.monthlydivorceseminars.com). Also, to help you further understand the divorce process, we have written a divorce information book titled “What Every Virginia Woman Should Know About Divorce,” which you can order today at www.FreeDivorceBook.com or by calling 757-425-5200.
Our ability to provide effective legal counsel to women going through difficult custody disputes led to our firm being featured in the documentary “Small Justice: Little Justice in America’s Family Courts,” produced by Boston University’s award-winning producer-writer-director, Professor Garland Waller (See www.smalljustice.com).
Your divorce should not simply be the end of your marriage, rather it should be seen as the beginning of a new experience. The attorneys at Hofheimer/Ferrebee will help you begin your journey by working in partnership with you to help you secure appropriate support, custody and property.
