Thirteen kinds of legal trouble, handled in one firm.
Each attorney at Cornerstone keeps a practice tailored to their own background, and the firm is built on one idea: “A client should not be bounced around from law firm to law firm. The furthest that client should have to walk is down the hall.” A divorce that turns on a business, or a traffic charge that touches a security clearance, stays under one roof.
The first consultation is free, and a variety of payment options can be arranged. To see who handles what, read the attorney directory or call (540) 898-8881.
