• Caring Attorneys who Aggressively Protect Your Interests and Help You Move Forward

We are conveniently located in Virginia Beach, and we serve clients throughout Southern Virginia.  The family law and business lawyers at Joseph W. Hood, Jr. & Associates have earned their reputation for excellence through hard work and dedication to our clients.

Over 20 Years of Experience

Our firm was founded by principal attorney Joe Hood in 1985. He has over 20 years of legal experience, so he has likely encountered the same issues facing you while representing past clients. In addition to his invaluable practical experience, he has also taught family law to other lawyers and legal professionals, and has authored numerous legal form and reference books.

Prior to opening the practice in 1985, Mr. Hood served 25 years in the Navy, where he rose to the rank of Captain and held command at sea. He is also a former Comptroller at the Norfolk Naval base. As a former military man, he brings the discipline, commitment, and dedication which made him successful serving our country to the practice of law. Because of Mr. Hood's military background, we proudly serve many military clients (and their non-military spouses) in military divorce, family law, and real estate, and matters.

A Commitment to Personal Service

While our experience may bring you in the door, it is our commitment to you, and the high level of personal service we provide that will keep you as a client. We understand that you can’t build a successful law practice that stands the test of time without many word-of-mouth referrals. Our success is directly attributable to referrals we receive from happy clients and even from our adversaries who are impressed with the manner in which we handle our client's cases.

You will appreciate our honest answers, our prompt communications, and our proactive notifications of any changes in the status of your case or any settlement offers we receive.

We Believe in Strong Community and Professional Involvement

We have been fortunate in our success, and we believe in giving back to the community.  We at Joseph W. Hood, Jr. & Associates are very active in the Virginia Beach community. For example, family law attorney Joe Hood is an elder in the Presbyterian Church and is a founding Director and President of Virginia Beach Health Clinic.  He is also a past President of the local Legal Aid Society.  Joe Hood also holds several board positions, including serving on the Boards of Directors for the Virginia Beach Symphony, Hampton Roads Naval Historical Foundation, and the Virginia Beach Library, and served as a member of the City of Virginia Beach Resort Advisory Commission.
