Services
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.
If you are having trouble paying the bills or are afraid that you may lose your home to foreclosure, bankruptcy may be the answer. Whether it is a good option for you depends on the type of debt you have, the type of assets you have and what your debt relief goals are. It is best to speak with a bankruptcy lawyer about your unique situation before making a decision.
Your business is your livelihood and impacts everything you do. As your business grows, your needs will evolve. You need a reliable law firm to anticipate your developing requirements so you can shape the demands and challenges of operating your enterprise successfully. When your business needs timely responses, clear communication and legal knowledge, you can rely on our team of attorneys.
When we begin a criminal defense case, we talk to the client and get all of the facts. We also investigate the incident. We will consider all possible defenses. If there is no workable defense strategy, we will discuss how to get the best results or plea possible. The Dickerson & Smith Law Group provides defense representation to Virginia residents and people from out of state who were arrested in Virginia.
Virginia is an at-will employment state, but that does not mean employees are without rights. State and federal laws prohibit employers from discriminating against employees in any part of the employment process. Employers are also prohibited from retaliatory discharge or taking disciplinary actions against workers who complain about discrimination against others.

I was really surprised at some of the reviews until I realized the majority of low reviews were from opponents not clients! I have had a great experience with my attorney and the paralegal (Pauline). They take great care of my case and advocate well while keeping an objective overview.

I would only give the highest praise for David Mettler! He is extremely professional and made the bankruptcy process as simple and stress free as humanly possible. He keeps you informed every step of the way, makes sure you thoroughly understand and puts you at ease. I would highly recommend him to any one of my friends and family.

They have been garnishing me for 7 years now. Every year around 1200 or more. Said I was paid in full. They have been doing it to me for a long time now. I even went to the hearing and court date and judge said this is paid in full. Now I have another starting again. They should really be careful messing with peoples money this way. You never know what they might be capable of doing.

I had the pleasure of working with Mr Sartwell & his staff, they made my process run as smooth as possible during a pandemic. The communication was top notch & they made sure that I understood what was going on. I would definitely recommend them, as well as retain their services again if needed.

I wanted to let others know about the awful experience i had with this law firm i was charged 1200 dollars to help with a eviction i repeatedly had to call 4 or 5 times a day to get anyone to contact me even when i would get a hold of someone i was greated very hostile like i was interrupting their day.
Then finally go to court and they tell me they dont know what im supposed to do next google it. Wow.
I ended up having to do everything myself as the clerk at court asked if i had a lawyer i told her i did but they refused to help. I will never use them again and i urge you they just take your

Law Firm is very unprofessional. Staff never knows anything. You ask for clarification and they're quick to say they closed down their computers for the day. Keep adding on balances when account has been paid in full years before. This place is a scam and full of con artist. Beware.
