THE LOCAL ADVANTAGE
IS A REAL THING
It sounds like a slogan. It isn’t. It’s the difference between a lawyer who has to look up which Norfolk courtroom your case will be heard in and one who was standing in it last week.
Here is what it actually gets you. Someone who knows what the court will expect before you file. Someone who knows the intersection you’re describing without pulling up a map. Someone who has argued in front of the judge you’re about to meet, and who can tell you honestly what happens next instead of what you’d like to hear.
Decker Law has been doing that since 1961. Eight attorneys, most of them raised in these cities, more than 1,500 clients last year and more than 58,000 since 1995 — nearly all of them within an hour of our Norfolk office.
BIGGER ISN’T ALWAYS BETTER
WHAT KNOWING A PLACE
ACTUALLY GETS YOU
“Local” is the easiest claim in legal advertising and the hardest to substantiate, so here is what it means in practice.
It means we have appeared before nearly every judge in this region, and we know how each courthouse runs — which dockets move quickly, what a given court expects from a continuance motion, how long a Tuesday arraignment calendar actually takes. It means when a client tells us the crash happened at the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel approach at 5:15 in the afternoon, nobody has to look it up. It means knowing which intersections generate the same collision over and over, and which insurance adjusters handle this region.
It also means something less tactical. Our attorneys sit on the boards, coach the teams, and belong to the churches and civic leagues in the cities where they try cases. They are not visiting. When a case is over, they are still here — which is a different kind of accountability from a firm that can leave the market.
