I have lived in Alexandria, VA and practiced law for over 40 years. I  concentrate on estate planning, business and commercial law.  I have been fortunate to have a full life outside of my law practice:  I am married to Marcia Call and have four adult children.  For many years, I was active in politics and, during the 90's, served on the Alexandria City Council for three terms (9 years).  I have also served as Chair of the Board of the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce, The Campagna Center.
