Practice Areas

The law office of Gregory M. Van Doren, Esq., located in Manassas, Virginia, provides legal services in the areas of Family Law, Criminal Defense, Bankruptcy, Estate Planning, and Traffic Offenses.  I serve clients in Prince William County, Fauquier County and Fairfax County in northern Virginia.

Bankruptcy I assist individuals and businesses facing financial trouble. If you are overwhelmed with debt and you don't see a light at the end of the tunnel, bankruptcy may be the right choice for you.

If you are dealing with collections agencies, foreclosures, repossessions, and/or wage garnishments, filing for bankruptcy can provide you with immediate protection. Whether you lack assets and qualify for a Chapter 7, want to prevent a foreclosure on your house with Chapter 13 Wage Earner's Plan, or reorganize your business' debt through Chapter 11, I will ensure you receive every possible benefit available to you under the bankruptcy laws.

We are a debt relief agency under the United States Code. We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code.

Estate Planning
When it comes to protecting you property and providing for your loved ones, it’s never too early to plan. Using tools such as wills, trusts, powers of attorney and other documents, we can protect everything you have worked so hard for, make sure your wishes are honored, and most of all, preserve and protect the futures of your loved ones.

For further information, please read my Estate Planning and Estate Planning Frequently Asked Questions.

Family Law
Every family faces difficulties and challenges, but when those difficulties and challenges turn into crisis, you need experienced and understanding legal advice. The end of your marriage may mean you need to resolve issues of child custody and visitation with your children, child support and spousal support, and the division and distribution of marital assets and debts. I will work with you and your spouse to achieve fair and equitable agreements on these issues, while always protecting your rights and interests. When turmoil erupts within your family, nothing can replace the legal advice and guidance of an experienced family law attorney.

In addition, as the representative for the City of Manassas Park in cases involving children such as delinquency, neglect, and child abuse, I am able to provide my family law clients with a unique perspective on protecting the interests of their children. I also work with couples seeking to adopt a child. Although adoption does take time, it does not have to be a frustrating and discouraging process. I will work hard to see that you are able to adopt a child of your own as soon as possible

Traffic Offenses
I represent those charged with DUI, habitual offender violations, and other drunk driving charges, reckless driving, speeding, driving on a suspended or revoked license, and other traffic-related offenses. Traffic infractions can have serious criminal consequences. A conviction for DUI will result in fines and possible jail time.

In addition, your insurance company may increase your rates to an unmanageable level, and you may lose your driver's license. An experienced attorney can make all the difference in a difficult case. Even if you live out of state, and incurred the violation while driving in Prince William County, Fauquier County, or Fairfax County, I can assist you with these charges.

Criminal Defense
There are few experiences more frightening than facing a criminal charge. If the state is trying to convict you of a misdemeanor or a felony, you need experienced representation. Regardless of the crime you are charged with, a conviction can have devastating consequences, such as large fines, jail time or a prison sentence.

With extensive courtroom experience both in military courts and civil courts, and as a former Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney, prosecutor, and defense counsel, I can aggressively protect your rights and fight tirelessly to protect you from a criminal conviction.
