Practice areas most active in Appomattox County

Civil litigation

Business and contract disputes, real-estate litigation, and personal injury matters. Virginia's personal-injury statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury under Va. Code § 8.01-243, and the wrongful-death statute lives at Va. Code § 8.01-50.

Estate planning and administration

Wills, revocable trusts, powers of attorney, advance medical directives, and probate. When someone dies without a will, Virginia's intestate succession rules at Va. Code § 64.2-200 control distribution — which is often not what the family expected.

Real estate

Rural land contracts, timber tracts, easements, and title cleanup. PLDR handles transactions and litigation when something does not close cleanly.

Business and contracts

Formation, ownership transitions, and contracts for closely held companies and farm entities.

Family law

Divorce, custody, support, and property division in the Appomattox County Circuit and Juvenile and Domestic Relations courts.
