Practice areas most active in Henry County

Business, contracts, and creditors' rights

Manufacturing and logistics operations, supply contracts, and disputes between vendors and customers. PLDR also handles creditors' rights work — collection actions, judgment enforcement, and garnishments — where Virginia's homestead exemption at Va. Code § 34-4 regularly factors into the analysis.

Construction law

Commercial and residential construction work, including mechanic's lien rights under Va. Code § 43-1 et seq., contract drafting, and disputes between owners, contractors, and subs.

Civil litigation

Business, contract, and personal injury matters. Virginia's personal-injury statute of limitations is two years under Va. Code § 8.01-243; the wrongful-death statute is Va. Code § 8.01-50.

Estate planning and probate

Wills, revocable trusts, powers of attorney, and probate. When there is no will, intestate succession under Va. Code § 64.2-200 controls.

Family law

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