Just before I retired from the Navy here in Virginia, I enrolled in law school at Regent University School of Law in Virginia Beach on the G.I. Bill. I had planned and waited for this day for nearly 20 years. I did not miss the school’s mantra about the law: “It’s More than a Profession; It’s a Calling.” At Holcomb Law, we begin with service, with the giving. This is why we offer free information, and a lot of it, in a profession which traditionally guards such information because lawyers should “charge for legal information.” It is good for our clients that we simply do not believe in that philosophy! Here, we recognize that we are here for you, not you for us. We want you to know what to do. It’s more than our tagline, “You Matter Here” is how we live and work. It’s not just a law firm, It’s a Calling. Welcome to Holcomb Law! Holcomb Law, PC serves clients throughout Newport News, Hampton, York County/Poquoson, Gloucester, and Williamsburg.
