Your Trusted, Local Attorneys

Yes. Actually there is no fee charged unless the attorney wins money for you. Injury cases are handled on a contingency basis with the attorney taking a percentage of the recovery.

No, it is not too late. It is very common for pain to set in a day or two after your accident. We highly recommend that you visit the emergency room or your doctor immediately to be evaluated and treated. Then we recommend that you call Cravens & Noll to speak directly with our lawyers.

Absolutely. In Virginia, hit and run accidents are far too frequent. You may still bring suit, or even settle your claim without a lawsuit against your own policy or the policy on the vehicle you were operating.

The cost depends on your circumstances. If your divorce is granted because you and your spouse have been separated for the requisite period (a “No-Fault Divorce”), legal costs start at $900.00. For a “Fault Divorce,” you’ll need to speak with an attorney about your specific situation for a cost estimate. Contested divorces typically cost more than uncontested ones.

It depends on the specifics of your case, but most of the time you can keep your home. If there is no or very little equity in the house (the value of the home minus the mortgage) you most likely will be able to keep your home. If you are facing a foreclosure on your house, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy has the potential to halt the foreclosure and save your home to allow past due mortgage payments to be paid over time.

Divorce is a legal termination of your marriage, meaning terms have been reached, paperwork has been finalized, and a judge has signed off on everything. Separation simply means one or both parties have separated and intend to end the marriage, which then provides grounds for an uncontested divorce in Virginia. Separation is a step toward divorce, not a legal status.

A criminal defense attorney can help stabilize your situation immediately and prepare you for court. Criminal charges and convictions can completely upend your life, affecting where you can live, what jobs you can get, and how you’re viewed by the public. Our Harrisonburg attorneys, along with our skilled Richmond legal team, offer professional legal advice and representation, giving you a fighting chance at returning your life to normal whether your case is in Harrisonburg, Richmond, or anywhere in between.

The best time to contact our criminal defense attorneys is immediately after being charged. We will help you create a plan while evidence is fresh, before witnesses scatter, and before the prosecution is fully committed to seeking your conviction. Early intervention can significantly impact the outcome of your case.

Estate planning is the process of working with an advisor to discuss your goals and concerns, review your assets and how they are owned, consider your family structure, and develop a plan for managing and disposing of your assets upon death or incapacity. Even if your estate is modest, proper planning ensures your wishes are respected and reduces potential family conflicts.

The three parts of a basic estate plan are a will, durable financial power of attorney, and an advance medical directive. Our Harrisonburg estate planning attorneys can help you create these essential documents and advise on additional components that might benefit your specific situation.

You can schedule a consultation by calling our Harrisonburg or Richmond office or visiting our website to complete an appointment form. We offer evening and Saturday initial consultations to accommodate your schedule. After submitting your information, we’ll review your case within 24 hours and contact you to set up an appointment.

Personal injury law allows individuals injured by someone else’s negligence—such as in car accidents, slip and falls, or medical malpractice—to seek compensation for their losses. In Virginia, you must prove the other party was at fault to recover damages.

If the at-fault party is uninsured or underinsured, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own insurance policy or by pursuing other liable parties. Whether your case is in Richmond, Harrisonburg, or another part of Virginia, our attorneys can review your situation in detail and help you explore all available options.
