Practice areas most active in Mecklenburg County

Real estate

Lake-area transactions, custom-home contracts, and I-85 commercial work generate steady real estate volume. PLDR handles purchase and sale agreements, title review, easements, and disputes — including matters that cross into North Carolina via Lake Gaston frontage and require coordination with NC counsel.

Estate planning and ancillary probate

Second-home ownership on Kerr Lake and Lake Gaston makes ancillary probate and trust-based ownership planning routine. Virginia's intestate succession rules at Va. Code § 64.2-200 apply to Virginia real property regardless of where the owner lives.

Business and contracts

Formation, contracts, and ownership transitions for closely held South Hill and Clarksville businesses, including hospitality and logistics.
