Have you marked off April 3-6 on your 2024 calendar? We are so excited to host our convention in Washington, DC at the beautiful Omni Shoreham - and at Cherry Blossom time! Make your plans to enjoy our nation’s capital from this great vantage point - only one block from a Metro stop, a few blocks from the National Zoo and a short ride to hundreds of world class restaurants. Oh, yeah, and some stellar CLE programming on top of it all. 

So please block your calendar now! We look forward to welcoming you there.

Board members gathered in Virginia Beach last month for our summer meeting, and to congratulate Chidi James as he was installed as the Virginia State Bar President.

Congratulations Chidi, and thank you Stephanie Grana for an outstanding year!

Our Practice Chats to introduce companies who can help you better serve your clients, continue this week! Injured Workers Pharmacy (IWP) is a specialized workers’ compensation pharmacy service working on behalf of injured individuals. As an advocate for those who have been injured, IWP takes the financial burden out of the medication process by shipping medications directly to the patient and collecting payment from the insurance company. IWP is a Platinum-level Business Partner with VTLA, and we are excited to learn more about the important work they do!

Join us this Thursday, July 20 at 2 pm for a chat with our friends at IWP. It's free, of course! Register here.

This Thursday! September 21 – Reston & Virtual

There's still time to register! Determining spousal support is rarely clear cut. The number of families you represent likely represents the number of unique circumstances. At this seminar, learn about some of the foundations upon which you can build your case. The day will be filled with hot topics in specific spousal support arguments and issues. Plus, you won’t want to miss our annual legislative and case law updates. And if you attend in person, stick around for a networking happy hour at the end of the program! Register here.
