I count motherhood as my greatest accomplishment, and I prefer the titles “Dance Mom,” “Cheer Mom, “and “Volleyball Mom” to “Esquire.” God has entrusted my husband and me with two amazing daughters, and I never wanted to miss a moment of the precious years of childhood. So for the past eighteen years, I have been a Solo Practitioner operating as DVKLAW. I’ve made every awards assembly, science fair, sporting event, and recital, and I have never missed an opportunity to chaperone a field trip or to serve as “Room Mom” or ‘Team Mom.” Whew!. But now that my children are older, and I’m more of a “smother” than a “mother,” I thought it was time to do the thing that Wayne and I have talked about doing for years now – merging our firms. I am so excited for the merger DVKLAW and Holcomb Law!. I have practiced law for over twenty-five years. My primary practice areas are criminal defense and family law. I spent six years honing my trial skills as a prosecutor for the City of Hampton, and I am regarded as a specialist in juvenile criminal defense. I have served as Special Counsel for the Division of Child Support Enforcement, and I can help you navigate Virginia’s complex child support provisions and safeguard your financial future. I have been certified by the Virginia Supreme Court to serve as Guardian ad litem for children since 2002, so I am well equipped to assist you in highly contested custody cases. I have received hundreds of hours of training in child development and family dynamics and disfunction, and I can help you protect your children.. Like many of you, Virginia is not my first home. I was born in Louisiana ‘round da’ bayou. I was born at a time when people who looked like me lived on “our side” of the levy and went to “our” schools. There were men in fancy suits who would come and sit in the living room with my Papa. They talked about two things, changing the “rules” that kept us separated by that levy and my MaDear’s peach cobbler. That cobbler was legendary!. I think I was about four years old when I learned that those men in fancy suits were called “lawyers,” and they had to go to a place called “court” to change those “rules.” I remember them talking about a lawyer named Thurgood Marshall who became the first African American Justice to serve on the United States Supreme Court in 1967, the year that I was born. I suppose that’s why I’ve never wanted to be anything other than a lawyer.. When I’m not lawyerin’, I’m screaming all of the lyrics to my favorite songs at a live concert. Music is my Prozac! And when I’m not chasing pop stars, I’m planning my next trip to Disney World. I’ve served my community for more than thirty years as a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. I am a proud alumna of The Alma Mater of a Nation, The College of William and Mary, and I continue to support the Tribe as a Class Ambassador for the Class of 1989. And as a 1992 graduate of Tulane University Law School, I know what it means to miss New Orleans. Roll Wave!. And like every woman lucky enough to have been born in Louisiana, I love to cook. My peach cobbler is not as legendary as MaDear’s, but I fix a mean pot of gumbo!

I enjoy using my 40+ years of experience as an attorney to provide solutions-focused legal services in primarily family law/domestic relations situations, but also in commercial real estate and related business fields. I counsel and advocate for people who seek legal assistance with issues of or relating to divorces, separation agreements, child custody and visitation, equitable distribution, and support (spousal and child, as needed), as well as, on a happier note, pre-nuptial agreements. My practice includes litigation, though I strive to employ other methods of problem-solving for my clients that avoid or minimize litigation, including especially the process of Collaborative Divorce.

I am interested in helping people get through a divorce, and related custody and financial issues, in the most positive manner possible, while helping the client preserve personal dignity and family relationships. Most cases can be resolved with integrity and grace if the parties and the lawyers involved decide in advance that's how it should go. I encourage my clients to take control of the process from the beginning and create the best chance for a lasting and positive solution.. I have practiced in Alexandria since 1986, and live nearby in Mt. Vernon with my wife and our dog, Gracie. I'm a little nuts about the Nats; and I'm still trying to bake an acceptable baguette.

Being a Domestic Attorney in a full service firm gives me the resources to fight for my clients. Divorce, support and custody disputes create the most stressful time in one's life. I zealously represent my clients with compassion, working out creative solutions whenever possible and litigating for the outcome my clients are looking for if necessary. I utilize my strong negotiation skills to settle 90% of my cases with the other attorney or through mediation and negotiations, but for the 10% that require a full trial, I have years of successful litigation experience to go the extra mile for my clients because everything we do in domestic law matters in your life -- from protecting your assets, your children or your livelihood.
