One area of law
Family law is the only thing we do. Every attorney in the firm, every case, every hour billed. That focus is what makes the difference on a complex custody case or a high-asset divorce.
A Northern Virginia family law firm built for the kind of attention bigger firms cannot give. Three attorneys, three offices, more than fifty years of combined experience, every case in this area of the law.
Founded in 2020. Built around the people we serve.
In 2020, after years at some of the largest firms in the country and the largest family law firm in Virginia, Alisa Chunephisal founded NOVA Legal Professionals on a single premise: family law clients deserve more attention than large-firm structures could give them. The kind of attention that knows your kids' names, that returns the call before the end of the day, that walks you through a settlement agreement page by page before you sign.
Today the firm includes three attorneys, three offices across Northern Virginia, and more than fifty years of combined experience. We work in one area of the law on purpose. Every case we take is a family law case. That focus is the firm's most useful asset.
These are not slogans. They are the working pillarss that shape how we open a file, how we run a meeting, and how we know when we have done our job.
Family law is the only thing we do. Every attorney in the firm, every case, every hour billed. That focus is what makes the difference on a complex custody case or a high-asset divorce.
Mediation, collaborative, negotiation: we reach for the path that ends the case with both sides intact, when that path is available. Many of our cases never see a contested hearing.
Not every case settles, and not every case should. When the courtroom is the right answer, we are prepared, organized, and willing to be the strongest advocate in the room.
We do not file motions, issue subpoenas, or run discovery for the sake of running a meter. Every step has to move the case forward. That discipline keeps the bill honest.
Each brings a distinct background and the same commitment: the work in front of us, done well, for the family in front of us.
We meet clients across Northern Virginia at the location that fits them. Fairfax is our main office for mail and service. Manassas and Fredericksburg are by appointment.
We appear regularly in family law courts across nine Northern Virginia counties and the surrounding cities, from Fairfax to Fredericksburg.
Most of our practice runs through the J&DR and Circuit Courts of Fairfax, Prince William, and surrounding jurisdictions. We also accept cases from neighboring counties when our schedule allows.
