Serving Hanover County
Serving Mechanicsville, Ashland and the rest of Hanover County with direct, personal representation.
Hanover County blends fast-growing suburbs with small-town and rural communities, from Mechanicsville and Atlee to the Town of Ashland, Montpelier and the historic Hanover Courthouse area. If you need a Hanover VA lawyer, L. Wendell Allen, PLLC represents people whose cases are heard in Hanover's courts. Our office is on N Parham Rd in Henrico, a straightforward drive up I-295 or I-95.
I-95, I-295, U.S. Route 301 and Route 360 carry heavy through-traffic across the county, and many Hanover criminal and DUI cases begin with stops on these corridors. Collisions on these highways and on two-lane country roads can cause serious injuries. And Hanover families rely on the county's Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court to resolve custody and visitation disputes.
All three of Hanover's courts sit together in the county government complex on County Complex Road. We will explain how your case is likely to proceed there and what you can do now to protect yourself.
Hanover is a place where people know their neighbors, and a criminal charge or a family dispute can feel especially public. We handle every matter with discretion, keep you informed at every step, and work to resolve your case in a way that protects both your record and your standing in the community.
