Attorney Casey J. Bach enjoys diligently representing clients charged with DUI/DWI, criminal charges, and traffic offenses in jurisdictions throughout Virginia. Mr. Bach studied Law and Society at American University before graduating from George Mason University School of Law.. Mr. Bach previously practiced both criminal defense and immigration law and has litigated dozens of hours-long asylum hearings at the Arlington Immigration Court. This experience not only sharpened Mr. Bach’s trial skills but also helped him learn to connect with clients personally to best represent the most intimate and complex details of their cases. Mr. Bach’s time representing Immigration Court clients also enabled him to become conversational in Spanish, and he is still happy to assist Spanish-speaking clients in their native language.. Mr. Bach has applied those skills to represent a wide variety of clients charged with crimes in jurisdictions all over Virginia and obtain positive results. Mr. Bach has represented both adults and juveniles charged with both misdemeanors and felony offenses. Mr. Bach has had DUIs dismissed both by the Court finding his clients “Not Guilty” at trial and by motion of the Prosecution to “nolle prosequi” or voluntarily dismiss the charges without trial. Mr. Bach has also helped clients get charges ranging from violent felonies to petty larceny to reckless driving, etc., dismissed by the court or reduced to lesser infractions.. To better represent his clients, Mr. Bach completed a 24-hour course on administering Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFST) conducted by police officers investigating DUI/DWI. This SFST course is the same training administered to police officers. Mr. Bach’s knowledge of the correct procedure to investigate DUIs helps him identify positive arguments for his clients’ performance on field sobriety tests, as well as potential mistakes by arresting officers.. Mr. Bach understands that his clients hire him not just to obtain a good result but to benefit from his knowledge and guidance throughout the entire legal process. If you hire Mr. Bach to represent you, he will be devoted to answering your questions and making sure you understand the best path forward to resolving your case.

Hi there. My name is C. Carter Allen. Some of you may be familiar with me as I graduated locally from Regent University School of Law in 2008 and have been in practice in the Hampton Roads area ever since. Now, after 10 years of successfully flying solo, I have been welcomed to the Holcomb Law team.. I grew up in the heartland of America, in the state of Iowa, but have called Hampton Roads home since Thanksgiving Day of 1992. I currently live in Hampton with my wife, Jessica, two dogs (260 pounds worth!!), and three odd cats. I have three sons (Kyler, Sean, and Austin) and one daughter (Kayla); all but one has flown the coop; on to bright futures.. How did an Iowa boy find his way out East? The United States Marine Corps sent me here by way of sunny southern California, and I simply refused to leave! I was a Sergeant in the Marine Corps in the Infantry and Security Forces, and I like to put that initiative, drive, and leadership ability to work for our clients every day.

12660 Lake Ridge Drive , Woodbridge , Virginia 22192

Practice Areas: Civil , Criminal Defense , Family , Family, Family

Cassandra Chin is a Partner with Nichols Zauzig and joined the firm in 2001, the first job of her career. Since then, she has become a leader in Virginia family law, earning both the respect of her peers and the gratitude of clients.. Cassandra has built her career on going beyond 100% for every client. As a result, her busy practice is based on referrals – from former clients, other attorneys, judges, even opposing parties. Many people also find and request her after reading the dozens of detailed reviews that her clients share online.. While devoted to her practice, Cassandra is also committed to developing the family law profession. Early on, she got involved with local and state bar associations. Ultimately, she became the youngest person to serve on the Board of Governors for the Virginia State Bar Family Law Section, later becoming Chair. On a national level, she was one of the youngest fellows when she was accepted into the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), after meeting their stringent membership criteria. She is now a 2nd Vice President serving on the organization’s National Executive Committee, as well as Immediate Past President of the AAML Virginia Chapter. For the Prince William County Bar Association, Cassandra served as Co-Chair of the Family Law Committee from 2007 - 2023. Her service to the family law community earned her the Virginia State Bar Family Law Service Award in 2023.. Cassandra knew as early as 10 years old that she wanted to become a lawyer. In fact, she made a pact with her cousin to open and run a law firm together. Even though he is not part of the same firm, her cousin is also a practicing attorney.. Cassandra majored in business at James Madison University and contemplated going into corporate law, but “family law found me,” she says. It was while clerking for Judge Richard Potter that she was drawn to divorce and child custody cases. What was the attraction? “When it comes to cases involving kids, you can really help the family get through a tough time in a way that leaves everyone with respect for one other,” she says.. Family law also appealed to her business background, given the considerable financial aspects involved when dividing marital assets.“I’m very practical and tell clients my true opinion. We look at things from a cost/benefit approach. It’s important they have realistic expectations.”But first and foremost, Ms. Chin helps her clients understand the divorce process in plain English that they can understand. “I recognize divorce is a strange and new experience for most people and really do try to guide my clients through it with that in mind.”. Accepting nothing less than the best from herself and those who work with her is what drives Cassandra to excel. “If I’m going to do something, it’s going to be done to the best of my ability…plus. I have certain expectations for my work product, and I have to meet my own expectations.”

After leaving the court system and entering private practice in 2002, Cameron continued his career by assisting attorneys from all over the country with their research and writing needs over the next fourteen years. He has drafted appellate briefs, memoranda of law, motion papers, declarations, affidavits, orders to show cause, and other documents for trial and appellate litigation in state and federal courts on various issues in both civil and criminal practice, both on consulting projects for other attorneys as well as cases handled for layperson clients.

His work was nationwide, and covered numerous legal issues, including, but not limited to, class action litigation, criminal trials and appeals, personal injury (both plaintiff and defense) trials and appeals, NASD/FINRA arbitrations, intellectual property litigation and appeals, Internet defamation, and commercial litigation and appeals.. Most recently Cameron was at Counsel Press, where he built from scratch the company’s legal research and writing division, providing consulting services to and litigation support to licensed attorneys all over the country.

Practice Areas: Criminal Defense, Divorce, DUI & DWI, Family

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.
