About The Dickerson & Smith Law Group

Why Does Experience Matter?

The six attorneys at The Dickerson & Smith Law Group have more than 100 years of collective legal experience. This experience has provided us with extensive knowledge of Virginia state, local and county laws, as well as applicable federal laws. We are familiar with the local legal climate and community, which allows us to develop strategies uniquely tailored to each case. Finally, nothing prepares an attorney for trial except trial experience, and we have decades of bench and jury trial experience.

Throughout our careers, we have also learned the importance of excellent client service. One of our goals is to maintain good communication during your case and make ourselves available to clients as much as possible. We strive to create good relationships with clients, treating them like family. We want the relationship to last for years as you, your family or your business grows.

You can rely on our experience in family law, criminal law, estate planning and probate, personal injury, employment law, bankruptcy, business law, real estate law and military law. Whether you need a tough litigator or skilled negotiator, our attorneys will work hard to protect your interests.

Hired Attorney Christopher Hedrick

Chris explained every detail, was understanding, knowledgeable, fast and efficient regarding a protective order in court. As a woman, I hoped to find a female attorney, a strong one, preferably a mother. I did not have luck and was left in a very bad predicament and disgusted by women . I appreciate how this office handles business in a professional manner, with compassion. All of them.

Hired Attorney Paul Sartwell

He listened to all of my questions and concerns. He was able to give me excellent advice, and after consideration, I decided I didn't need his help for that particular situation. However, I do want to make my will, so I will be signing up for legal benefits again through work and will go to him to do my will.

The front desk lady seemed very brusque with certain clients, but they seemed to be ones she had billing issues with, and I'm sure that requires some toughness on her part. But that made me feel a bit ill at ease. Once I got in with my attorney, though, I felt very comfortable, and felt that I had most of his attention.

If you are a client of theirs, they will get the job done!! By ANY MEANS NECESSARY! They lie, they don't return calls and someone who handles your case is "out of the office". I am on a fixed income and tried to make payment arrangements. I spoke to Ms. Thomas who told me (twice) that she would return my call then is out of the office for a week. Mr. Randall, covering for her told the same lie. No one has returned my call.
