Practicing law in Virginia. Legal matters in Virginia are governed by state-specific rules of civil and criminal procedure, statutes of limitations, and substantive law. Cases originating in Alexandria are typically filed in the local municipal court or the appropriate Virginia state district court, depending on subject matter and amount in controversy.
