Our Firm

The attorneys of Hofheimer/Ferrebee P. C., have met with, counseled and successfully represented thousands of women in their divorces. Whether they live in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Newport News or Hampton, women have relied upon us to help them obtain custody, child support, spousal support, pension benefits and property settlements. We have earned the respect of judges, lawyers and most importantly, our clients.

We are respected because we work hard to be well prepared and know the facts of each case. We believe strongly that there is no substitute for case preparation. An attorney must know and understand the facts of a case, then apply the law. Many attorneys know "the law" but haven't adequately learned the facts of their clients' cases. Divorce and custody law are fact driven. Success is in the details.

Even so, "knowing the law" and "knowing the facts" do not make a good divorce lawyer. A good lawyer must have patience, judgment and good trial skills. All of these skills are developed through experience.

Each of our lawyers is an experienced, trial- tested divorce lawyer. This experience comes from working every day on divorce cases. In one year, our attorneys are involved in more divorce cases on behalf of women than most attorneys are in five years of full time general practice. This is because, unlike most law firms, our practice is devoted to representing only women in divorce.
