<p class="x_MsoNormal">For inquiries like this, it would be really helpful if you can say where in Virginia the case is filed. Although Virginia is not as big as, say, Texas, the Eastern District stretches from Virginia Beach to Alexandria—a 3+ hour drive—and
some divisions of the Western District are also more than 3 hours apart by car. This is especially true if you’re looking to find a lawyer for a case where an answer needs to be filed tomorrow.</p>

client, and they did not inform us of the lawsuit for several weeks after they were sued. The client is a long-standing art-related business based in Houston. Unfortunately, I do not have time to review responses to this email, so any response received will
be forwarded to the client, to get in touch with responders directly. Please email me directly if interested. Thank you.</span></p>
