Professional Background:After finishing my law degree, I went into practice for myself for several years, eventually forming a small firm.

At Davis Law Group, I focus on family law as well as employment law. Our family law practice uses the Collaborative Divorce process, which helps families come to mutually beneficial agreements for distribution of assets and child custody through the process of mediation. Through my memberships with several levels of Collaborative professional organizations, I stay abreast of best practices and methods so that I can help our clients achieve the best results for their unique situation.. Life Influences:My parents and certain teachers were my biggest influencers in my life. My father’s mantra was “You can do anything you put your mind to.” I took that to heart and set high goals for myself because of the belief he instilled in me.. Favorite thing about my job:I love the daily opportunity to positively impact people’s lives.. In my spare time:I enjoy spending time with my children and helping them with their activities.

Mr. Wegman is an aggressive, hard-charging, honest, passionate and compassionate lawyer. Clients know that when their lives and freedom are at stake, they want him to exhaust every means to protect or preserve their rights. Mr. Wegman goes the "extra mile." Mr. Wegman has practiced law for over twenty years, mostly in the criminal law area. He has served as a JAG Officer, where he has handled hundreds of criminal and administrative cases, and he has served as a Special Assistant United States Attorney, where he has prosecuted such cases as fraud, theft and sexual assault. Surprisingly, Mr. Wegman has witnessed how little attention people pay to their selection of attorneys. People often assume all attorneys will perform the same, so they tend to go with the person who gives them the best price, or who has the best name recognition, or has practiced in the geographic area the longest. But how much is your freedom worth? If you have been charged with an offense, it would greatly benefit you to arrange a consulation at no cost. The unfortunate reality is that one's choice of attorney often means the difference between a conviction and an acquittal. Everyone knows people who have paid their attorneys a lot of money and gotten little in return. No attorney can or should guarantee an outcome, and if he or she does -- run the other way. An attorney's zealous advocacy, negotiating skills, and raw passion make a tremendous difference in the nature and/or duration of any imposed punishment. Preparation and attention-to-detail are the hallmark of an effective attorney. Obviously, knowledge of the law is crucial. Mr. Wegman strives to be the best prepared attorney in the courtroom. Post-trial matters, such as appeals, sentence modifications and probation violation hearings can be equally important in maximizing one's personal freedom. The attorney you hire to represent you should know the courts, the judges, and prosecutors. Only then can you can you get a fair assessment of what you face in court. As basic as this sounds, Mr. Wegman will also return your phone calls in a timely manner and keep you completely apprised of your case. He is one of only a handful of attorneys who will give you his cell phone number and encourage you to call any time day or night for emergencies, or just because you need peace-of-mind.

I started my legal career with the Portsmouth Public Defender's Office.  This served as an invaluable experience as I handled all types of criminal cases from misdemeanor driving charges to murder.  After almost four years as an Assistant Public Defender, I decided to take a position with the Chesapeake Commonwealth Attorney's Office as a Vice and Narcotics' prosecutor.  I handled cases involving large scale drug distribution, possession charges, DUIs/DWIs, animal cruelty, violent crimes and civil forfeiture matters.  During  my time as a prosecutor, I trained detectives on how to be an effective expert witness and present the evidence needed to win the case.  Now as a defense attorney, I use those same skills to zealously represent my clients, protect their interests and help keep them out of jail.. In addition, I am now a single mother and understand the hardships of divorce/separation on a family. I personally understand the importance of a competent and caring attorney that can help you through the trying times of divorce and related custody matters. It is a difficult time that no one should feel that they have to endure without someone in their corner fighting for them.

I began my practice as a criminal defense attorney with the Public Defender's office for the City of Norfolk.  After nearly two years handling misdemeanors & felonies with a concentration in the Juvenile Courts, I ventured into private practice.. I worked for a solo practitioner as an Associate Attorney doing all areas of family law, continuing to serve a criminal defense attorney either as a Court Appointed Attorney for the courts or with retained clients.  Additionally, I became certified as Guardian ad litem (GAL).  A GAL is a licensed attorney with an extra certification that represents the best interests of children in a custody/visitation case.. In 2006 after having my second child, I wanted to continue with my career but have the flexibility to also be a mom.  So I opened my own practice. My staff and I get along wonderfully and I consider them family. Therefore, we work well together and represent our clients  with the utmost care and respect with your family in mind.. In my spare time I am a member of the King's Daughters Infinity Circle and raise money for the Children's Hospital of the Kings Daughters.  I am also a Crossfit Level 1 trainer which allows me to coach Crossfit.  I also actively train in Crossfit.  And of course, I have my own family with 3 active children that keep me busy.. Our family is here to help yours.
