In addition, the firm’s practice areas include divorce, custody and support litigation; wills, trusts and estates; personal injury; federal and state criminal defense and appeals; and civil liberties and constitutional law.
The firm was established in June 2008. In 20 months, it has grown from five to 13 attorneys with a combined legal experience of 230 years. Beau Brincefield has practiced law in Alexandria for 40 years. Ed Rosenthal and Lonnie Rich have been law partners in Alexandria for the past 25 years.
