It takes a team from Dinwiddie to really understand how the town operates. When you need legal help in our area, nothing other than a local legal team is going to do.
John B. Chappell has served the Dinwiddie area for more than 30 years. His practice is concentrated on traffic cases, real estate transactions, estate planning and business law.
Jessica Henshaw is an Associate Attorney here at the law office. She has lived in Dinwiddie her entire life, and wanted to work as an attorney in the area in which she was raised so that she could help the residents of her community with their legal matters and questions.
Ashley Robb has worked here since 2016 as Secretary/Administrative Assistant. She is typically the first person you will speak with when calling the office. A good portion of her time consists of managing traffic cases: intake, opening files, processing payments and sending out letters/emails with the case results.
Behaving in any other manner is simply counterproductive. An officer will be less likely to see your point of view if you are obstinate.
It is always best to be up front with the officer about your situation and communicate with him before his decision has been finalized.
