Serving City of Colonial Heights
Personal, straightforward representation for people with cases in Colonial Heights.
Colonial Heights is a close-knit independent city on the north bank of the Appomattox River, and it has its own court system. If you need a Colonial Heights VA lawyer, L. Wendell Allen, PLLC represents residents and anyone whose case is filed in the city's courts. Our office is on N Parham Rd in Henrico, a straight drive down I-95.
Much of daily life in Colonial Heights runs along the Boulevard (U.S. Route 1/301), Temple Avenue and the Southpark shopping area near I-95. Those busy commercial corridors produce traffic stops, shoplifting and larceny charges, DUI arrests and collisions. Families in the city also turn to the Colonial Heights Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court for custody and visitation matters.
All three Colonial Heights courts share one location at 550 Boulevard, and their dockets move quickly. Getting a lawyer involved early gives you more time to understand your options before your first court date.
Many Colonial Heights clients also have ties to Petersburg and Chesterfield, and cases sometimes overlap across city and county lines. We will sort out which court has your case, explain each step in plain English, and make sure you know exactly what is expected of you before you walk into the courthouse on Boulevard.
