I've dreamed of becoming a lawyer for a large portion of my life, and I'm happy to report that years of practice have not dulled my passion! I consider it an absolute privilege to represent my clients and to meet people "where they're at". We all fall on hard times during various seasons, and I see first hand just how difficult it is to walk through a divorce, custody battle, criminal charge, protective order, and many other legal matters. Because I understand these unique personal challenges and emotional battles, I consider it my responsibility to operate as a light in a dark place. As a family law lawyer and certified mediator, I aim to help husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, family members and parents preserve their relationships for the sake of the children. If I can help individuals come to a place where they can sit around a table and figure things out together without fighting to the death in court, I consider it a great victory. Although I do enjoy going before a Judge and fighting for your position (as every true attorney enjoys!), I prefer to help my clients move forward without a blood-thirsty court battle.. I have practiced in Hampton Roads and the greater Peninsula area, and I am familiar with many local Judges and courtrooms. I've done much criminal defense and family law work in the past, but have now narrowed my practice to family law matters. As a graduate of Regent University School of Law and a Hampton Roads resident, I truly value serving my community in a way that helps many families and individuals move forward.. In my free time, I'm an avid songwriter and I enjoy singing with my Church's worship ministry. Plus, I'm a tea enthusiast, and I love burying my nose in a great book!

I was born and raised in Newport News. I attended grade school at Hampton Institute-now known as Hampton University-middle school in Newport News public schools, and high school at Hampton Roads Academy in Newport News. Upon admission to the Virginia State Bar, I practiced with the largest and oldest firm on the Virginia Peninsula. On June 1, 2001, I opened my sole practice, which has grown into the current firm. My practice, experience, and reputation as a competent, compassionate attorney have continued to grow steadily.

I help clients with all aspects of driving related matters, including defending against charges related to DUI / DWI, Reckless Driving, Suspended License, License restoration, Speeding and other traffic charges.. I spoke on the topic "Serious Traffic Offenses in Virginia" for the Virginia Peninsula Paralegal Association and have provided video excerpts from that presentation for you to review on this website.. I authored a chapter in the book, A Cup of Coffee With 10 of the Top DUI Attorneys in the United States.  This book achieved the Amazon Bestseller List and Amazon's Hot New Release status.  The proceeds of this book benefit Kiwanis in their work helping children.

I have four kids.  Do not question my judgment though, because they are all in their special way a gift from God to me.. I also try in whatever free time I can spare to engage in other passions, such as playing tennis in local leagues, and playing guitar, and writing songs.  I try to avoid, but not at all cost, jumping out of airplanes and competing in crossfit mud tournaments.. I like the Detroit Tigers because my childhood was spent in that city, where my father managed the Western Union before the invention of the fax machine, and before all that was left over in its ashes was moneygrams.  Do they even have candygrams anymore?. I also like the Washington Redskins.  Again, please do not question my judgment, but instead understand that my unwavering dedication to what may be the worst team in the NFL shows how much dedication I will give to your case or cases no matter how hard they may be to prosecute or to defend.. I win cases by preparation and by acting civilly, so if you are looking for a lawyer that compensates by acting unruly, mean, and disrespectfully, you need to look elsewhere.

I have been licensed as a Virginia attorney since 2004.

I grew up in a Navy family, so I am a native of Ohio, and briefly lived in San Diego, California. After leaving the Navy, we moved to Chesapeake, Virginia where my Dad pastored a church, and my Mom continued her calling as a public school special education teacher. I attended James Madison University and received a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature. After graduating from JMU, I was privileged to teach 9th grade English in Newport News while studying nights for a Masters of Divinity degree. At the end of my third year of teaching, I felt called to change professions and directions entirely, mostly due to seeing the impact of the justice system on my students and their families, and I attended Regent University’s School of Law.. I enjoy playing music (drums, guitar, and vocals) for church worship teams, and I once had the pleasure to be part of a local jazz trio. I love literature, movies, history, games, and amateur carpentry and home projects.. I feel immensely privileged by the trust of my clients to help guide them through the decisions and circumstances involving the most precious and intimate portions of their lives. I am so pleased to be a part of the excellent team of professionals at Holcomb Law.

I enjoy being a lawyer and helping make a difference in the lives of my clients.. I have lived in the mountains of Southwestern Virginia, then in Central Virginia and now in Coastal Virginia and I have been blessed to experience the best of what our great State has too offer and the wonderful people you find all across our Commonwealth.. I live in Yorktown, Virginia with my lovely wife of 25+ years, my two great sons, two dogs and two cats.
