The Firm

We began as a local law firm focused on providing client-centric legal counsel to local businesses, community associations and residents and have evolved into a local powerhouse. We remain focused on delivering our clients the best legal outcomes while keeping our services at affordable rates. Our firm has expanded into a range of complementary practices such as business transactional law, business litigation and appeals. Our core values reflect the values of our community as we remain committed to providing exceptional lawyering in all of the work that we do.

History

In the late ‘80s Mike Inman and Barry Koch joined an existing firm focused primarily on business, real estate, estate planning, community association law, and civil litigation, including workers compensation. The firm built on this platform welcoming new partners who would enhance those practice areas and add others complementary to our wheelhouse areas. In the ‘90s, we added several lawyers who had expertise in taxation, federal litigation, domestic relations and creditors’ rights.

In 1999, our firm name was officially changed to Inman & Strickler, PLC. In the following year, we moved to our current headquarters located in the Marsh Landing Building at 575 Lynnhaven Parkway where we remain today. In 2009 we expanded our firm with the addition of several highly experienced attorneys with expertise complementary to the areas of law practiced by the firm. We continue to expand adding innovative and intelligent attorneys to our firm.

Today we are a firm of 11 knowledgeable lawyers, with longevity and connections in the community. Collectively, we proudly meet the needs of the businesses, individuals and community associations that we regularly represent as well as those clients that come to us anew to begin an attorney-client relationship.

Community Outreach

Our attorneys dedicate themselves to engaging and participating in many facets of our local community. From serving on the Virginia Beach Planning Commission to local business or charter board of directors, our attorneys continue to make a positive difference in local life.

We routinely present in the areas of our expertise including civil litigation, business and corporate law, community association law, trust and estates, personal injury and workers compensation.

We also have an active pro bono practice supporting local charitable organizations and helping to promote juvenile justice.
