Family First Law Group Recognized as Virginia’s Top Women-Led Law Firm
When Virginia Lawyer Weekly recognized Family First Law Group as a Top Women-Led Law Firm, it affirmed what our clients have been telling us for years: women’s leadership in law creates a different—and often better—client experience.
Leadership That Understands
Being a women-led firm isn’t just about who’s at the top; it’s about perspective, priorities, and how we approach the practice of law.
Our clients often say they chose us specifically because we’re women. They want attorneys who instinctively understand the unique pressures women face—balancing career advancement with family responsibilities, managing financial concerns around divorce or retirement, or navigating the emotional weight of estate planning while caring for aging parents and raising children.
This understanding shapes our entire practice. We know what it’s like to negotiate a high-stakes divorce settlement while managing a demanding career. We understand the vulnerability women feel when planning for their family’s future and recognize the “mental load” women carry as family organizers and decision-makers.
A Different Approach to Law
Women-led firms often approach legal challenges differently. While traditional firms may focus on aggressive litigation and short-term wins, we prioritize sustainable solutions and long-term family wellbeing.
In family law, this means exploring collaborative divorce options and mediation before rushing to court, creating co-parenting agreements that actually work for busy families, and addressing the emotional aspects of separation alongside the legal ones.
In estate planning, it means having honest conversations about family dynamics, creating plans that account for blended families, and ensuring women’s financial security isn’t compromised by traditional inheritance structures.
We aim to protect our clients’ interests while preserving what can be preserved—especially when children are involved. That doesn’t mean we don’t advocate forcefully when needed, but we remain mindful of the mental and financial burden that carries for a family.
Serving Women Through Life Transitions
Our recognition as a Top Women-Led Law Firm reflects our commitment to supporting women through life’s most significant transitions.
We’ve guided women through divorces where they feared losing financial security, helped mothers craft custody arrangements that honor their careers while prioritizing children, supported women in planning estates that protect both current spouses and children from previous marriages, and empowered grandmothers fighting to maintain relationships with grandchildren.
These cases require more than legal expertise—they require empathy, strategic thinking, and an understanding of the systemic challenges women face in family law and estate planning.
Breaking Barriers
Women remain underrepresented in law firm leadership, particularly in ownership roles. Being recognized by Virginia Lawyer Weekly highlights the quality and impact of women-led practices.
At Family First Law Group, being women-led isn’t a marketing angle—it’s who we are and how we practice law. Whether you’re navigating divorce, planning your estate, or facing complex family legal challenges, you deserve attorneys who understand your life, your priorities, and your concerns.
