Very informative, professional, and explained the legal terms clearly. Amy Popp was awesome and made me feel welcome and could tell her anything. I had complete trust in both Mr. Lipskis and Amy.

Virginia Beach Law Firm

Located on the southeastern coast of the Commonwealth, Virginia Beach is home to over 450,000 residents, making it the most populous city in Virginia as well as the biggest city in the Hampton Roads metropolitan area. Virginia Beach is also known for its diverse range of industries, including manufacturing, defense contracting, and locally-owned businesses.

At Poole Brooke Plumlee PC, we are proud to be part of this city’s vibrant history. Our Virginia Beach law firm has been providing area residents, businesses, banking institutions, and government agencies with skilled and experienced legal services since the late 1980s. Our office is home to attorneys who practice in a diverse range of areas, including business, bankruptcy, employment, real estate, and estate planning law. To schedule a consultation, call (757) 499-1841.

Administrative Lawyers

Government regulations dictate how Virginia Beach businesses, industries, and landowners operate. Our experienced administrative attorneys can assist you with any compliance matters that apply to your situation, such as business licenses and observance of certain codes. We regularly interact with different local, state, and federal agencies, including but not limited to city and county planning and zoning boards, state legislative committees, and the Virginia Occupational Safety and Health Program.

When issues arise, such as a denied license or disciplinary enforcement actions, we can represent you at all stages of the appeals process, including appeals to the Supreme Court if necessary.

Alternative Dispute Resolution

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) allows disputing parties to resolve their disagreement without resorting to expensive and time-consuming litigation. Many of the lawyers at Poole Brooke Plumlee have years of specialized training and experience in these techniques, which include:

  • Mediation: A neutral mediator facilitates communications between all parties to the dispute and helps them achieve a mutually satisfactory resolution. The proceedings are confidential and participants generally have more control over the outcome than they would in a court proceeding.
  • Arbitration: Like mediation, arbitration is confidential, but the process is more formal. Both sides present evidence and make arguments before a neutral arbitrator, who makes a decision that may be binding or non-binding, depending on the terms.
  • Collaborative Law: This private settlement process is often used in divorce and family law disputes. In addition to specially trained attorneys, the proceedings may involve financial advisors, child psychologists, and mental health experts.

The lawyers at Poole Brooke Plumlee PC can represent clients in ADR proceedings or serve as arbitrators or mediators.

Bankruptcy Lawyers

Financial setbacks can happen to anyone. When they do, filing for bankruptcy protection can be the best way to eliminate an impossible debt load and rebuild both your finances and your life.

Deciding which bankruptcy chapter to file requires a close overview of your current and future financial situation and resources. A compassionate bankruptcy attorney at our Virginia Beach law firm will provide you with the advice you need to make the right decision.

Business Lawyers

Our extensive business law practice helps startups and established businesses alike navigate an often-complex journey. In addition to explaining the laws and regulation that govern your industry, our lawyers can assist you with matters related to:
