Our approach

When most Americans lived in small towns, each town had a lawyer, who was thought of as “their lawyer” by most families in town. This lawyer had a life stake in the community and deep personal ties with its members. Not inconsequentially, he (yes, it was almost certainly a man) knew and probably socialized with all the judges.

Standing in contrast is the modern, urban, full-service law firm. This type of law firm employs a large number of lawyers with highly specialized skills and is typically run with a business ethic emphasizing efficiency.

In McLean, in Fairfax County, Virginia, one finds a law firm offering the best of both worlds. Gabeler Battocchi Griggs & Powell, PLLC has highly experienced attorneys with interlocking skill sets covering a wide range of practice areas. We don’t try to do everything, but we have deep experience in the areas we focus on, most notably Family Law, Trusts and Estate Planning, Civil Litigation, Business Law and Contracts, and Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice.

Like the most modern law firm, we are highly competent, objective, and efficient. However you can also expect from us the kind of personal attention that is becoming unusual these days. Like the small-town lawyer, we are thoroughly embedded in the community and well known throughout the Northern Virginia legal profession. Internally, we function more like a family than anything else.

Gabeler, Battocchi, Griggs, & Powell is a Martindale-Hubbell AV® rated law firm. We welcome your call to see if we can assist you.
