Ashli listened to everything I had to say
Ashli listened to everything I had to say. I think at some parts I was maybe talking too much. However, she just let me talk and gave me great advice. I did not feel as if I was rushed. She was confident in what she could do for my case and I believe she will be able to get me the important things I'm worried about. She truly cared and was very confident. I feel as though she will fight for myself and my child in the courtroom. She also was being realistic in what I should expect. I appreciated that about her because she did not want me to have false hope. I'm excited to finally have an Attorney that cares and is confident. She is not going to give me false hope. Thus, I know when she says she's going to get something done, it's the truth!
B.W., Newport News, VA
She helped me see that I was being naive
Lori has a great set of skills that leave you feeling "heard," supported, and protected. She appears very confident and compassionate and she helped me see that I was being naive without actually saying so. I feel that Lori is very competent and will work hard to ensure the best possible outcome for me. My initial interaction with your firm left me feeling that I am in very capable hands. Lori helped me to see some of the dangers of continuing to be manipulated by my husband. I left her office feeling stronger in my decision to choose a healthier future.
Virginia M., Virginia Beach, VA
Caitlin had good attention to detail
Caitlin was very knowledgeable and was very easy to talk to. Very pleasant. I feel confident that she will take good care of my case. I left the consultation feeling like I was taken seriously, and that Caitlin cared about what I was going through.

Sheera Herrell
Lori Michaud
By Katie Carter | January 21, 2022
I'm a person who lives in the world, and so, for me – like for anyone else – the topic of what I do for a living is something that comes up with some frequency. I usually just say something vague like, 'Oh, I work at a law firm,' so...
You probably haven't hired an attorney before. And, if you have, it probably wasn't a family law attorney. (And, if it was a family law attorney that you hired, you probably aren't reading this article because you've been there, done that!) It's a nerve wracking experience! I can tell...
Sheera Herrell, Attorney at Law
1604 Hilltop West Executive Center, Suite 300

She responds to my requests
Thank you for all your help over the past year and a half. You have always been so prompt to respond to my requests and so understanding. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you.
Karen M.,
Sharp as a tack
Sheera understood the facts and developed a plan that I am completely happy with. I have and will continue to recommended her whenever someone needs a divorce lawyer.
Tracy O., Virginia Beach, VA
Sheera has represented me in the past
Sheera has represented me, very successfully, in the past. She is compassionate and warm in person, yet tough and effective in the courtroom. I believe in getting out ahead of potential problems, which was the purpose of this consultation. I highly recommend her!
Deborah B., Chesapeake, VA
Sheera was very informative and competent
She knew what she was talking about and showed me mistakes other legal professionals missed in my court filings. I was impressed with her knowledge and she laid out all of my options for me in a clear and concise way, which is exactly what I needed.
Bonnie H., Virginia Beach, VA
My biggest regret is that I did not find Sheera sooner
My ex-husband, also an Attorney, can manufacture more loopholes and psychological backflips than any other 100 people I know - and Sheera handled him VERY well. The fact my divorce was granted on Halloween day could not have been more poetic. My biggest regret is that I did not find her sooner and my biggest relief is that she helped rescue me from a marital nightmare. I give her my highest respect and recommendation - and so do my parents and friends.
Nicole V.
Program Support Specialist at US Navy
Sheera was very personable, empathetic, sympathetic, and knowledgeable.

The Seminar Was Really Helpful
The seminar was really helpful. I gained a lot of knowledge on separation and custody. I really appreciate all of your help. Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to inform women on their rights in divorce and separation.
Lavonda A. Virginia Beach, VA
With the help of Charles Hofheimer and Sheera Herrell, a client was able to finally feel "represented and protected" after past "fruitless" efforts.
My daughter and I have spent much time trying to obtain financial assistance for her and her twins. It was fruitless until we were recommended to your firm. Our initial consultation with you sparked hope. You seemed to be a man capable of getting a job done. You turned our case over to Sheera Herrell who reflected your reputation and firm in a most commendable way. She was accessible, knowledgeable of our case and quick to act. We felt represented and protected in a most fundamental way. Our family sends your firm a boquet of gratefulness.
Carolyn, Rock Hill, South Carolina
Katherine Wilcox Carter, Attorney at Law
Meet Katherine:
Katherine Wilcox Carter joined the Hofheimer Family Law Firm in 2011. A lifetime resident of Hampton Roads, Katie grew up in Newport News, Virginia, where her family owns Wilcox Bait & Tackle, an outdoor sporting goods store. She graduated from Menchville High School in 2004, where she swam and played field hockey. After high school, she attended Lynchburg College in Lynchburg, Virginia, where she got her B.A. in Political Science and English and graduated with highest honors. She is a member of Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority, served on the Student Judicial Board, and worked with the AmeriCorps through the Bonner Leaders program. From there, she attended law school at West Virginia University.
After graduating from law school, Katie returned to Hampton Roads and started working with Hofheimer Family Law. She took on two roles: attorney and marketer. She quickly realized that she could combine her lifelong love of writing with her knowledge of the law through the firm's marketing efforts, and started by keeping up the firm's online presence through posting blog entries, articles, and press releases. She has also represented a number of women in their divorce and custody disputes, and particularly enjoys custody cases.
Katie and her husband, Jonathan, a tug boat captain and part time charter boat fisherman, live in Newport News, with their son, Will, their daughter, Louisa, and two (nearly) perfect Labrador retrievers, Sally and Cash. Together, Katie and Jonathan spend a lot of time outdoors hunting, fishing, boating, and playing with their kids. Katie also loves running, reading, and drinking Virginia wine.
Katherine's Reputation:
Knowledgeable and Empathetic
She was knowledgeable and empathetic to my situation. She presented the necessary information clearly for a complex situation.
Lenore M.,
I received detailed information that I have had difficulty getting elsewhere
Katie exceeded my expectations! She listened, she answered all my questions and provided information that didn't know I needed. I am know more confident that I will be ok after divorce. She genuinely showed me that she cared about me and my well being. She didn't withhold information and I am now better prepared to move forward.
R. Williams, Newport News, VA
Knowledgable in Family Law
Katie struck me as knowledgeable in family law. I appreciated her expression of empathy and am certain she will act in my best interest. I like that you only represent women.
Jennifer M., Virginia Beach, VA
One Hundred Percent Geared Towards a Woman and Her Needs
Katie was very warm. She was able to answer the questions that I had in a way that was easy for me to understand. It was almost strange to be associated with a professional entity that was 100% geared towards a woman and her needs. Even the directions to your law firm was extremely female oriented. Good job!
Lisa B., Virginia Beach, VA
Allayed my concerns
Katie listened and was supportive. The consult allayed many of my concerns and affirmed much of what I thought I already knew. She was clear, knowledgeable and advising.
Hollis W., Virginia Beach, VA
Felt at Ease
She made me feel much more at ease about the process, and spent time getting to know me as a person at the same time.
Denise M., Virginia Beach, VA
Thank You For All The Help!
I like the seminar. The speaker was very clear and friendly. I would like to come back to the next seminar. I wish I could have come before. Thank you for all the help!
Arely C.
Katie Is Terrific!
Katie is terrific! Wonderful, helpful, knowledgeable, and answered specific questions regarding military and civilian pensions. Huzzah to the firm and Katie's commitment to helping women!
Sherryl M.
Katie is helpful at Second Saturday Seminars
Katie Carter was open to questions and answered everything on the spot. Lots of resources and great information. I'm going to try the do-it-yourself separation agreement in the next couple months.
Lori Michaud, Attorney at Law
Meet Lori:
As a child, Lori's father often told her the story of the Princess and the Pea, always telling her, at the end, his version of the moral of the story: "If you don't like the life (bed) you've made, get up and make it again!" An adage that has remained with her all her life, especially as both a child of divorce and a divorcee herself, Lori knows what it's like to go through the process and come out stronger on the other side.
Lori places a great deal of value on the importance of family, which has shaped her strong personality and brought her to where she is today. Lori relocated to Virginia Beach following her own divorce, where she enjoyed the support of her own large extended family as she rebuilt her life in Virginia.
Lori joined the Hofheimer Family Law family after an illustrious career working in firms both large and small (and owning her own local law practice). Lori is unique to our firm in the sense that she has handled cases in a wide array of practice areas – including complex commercial litigation and criminal law, in addition to her vast family law experience. She is also licensed to practice in New Jersey and New York, in addition to Virginia. Her biggest strength? Lori is a seasoned and comfortable litigator, combining preparedness with serious attention to detail!
Lori received her B.A. from Rutgers College, and her law degree from Rutgers University Law School, where she was a New Jersey Bell Scholar at Rutgers College and a Phillip J. Levin Scholar at Rutgers Law School, based upon her academic ability and potential capacity for public service through law.
She began practicing law in 1988 with a unique familiarity with and understanding of the court system, after having served as a judicial legal intern to the Honorable Maryanne Trump Barry, Judge, United States District Court, and as a judicial law clerk to the Honorable Murry D. Brochin, Judge, Superior Court of New Jersey. Lori was an associate attorney at the law firms of Greenberg, Dauber & Epstein in Newark, New Jersey, and at Pitney, Hardin, Kipp & Szuch (now Day, Pitney) before relocating to Virginia.
Following the birth of her son, Lori opened her own practice, The Law Office of Lori A. Michaud, P.C., handling civil, criminal defense and family law cases. Lori brings a number of distinct advantages to her practice of law, from working closely with judges, handling complex cases involving extensive litigation, working with firms both large and small, practicing across state lines, and, also, on a personal level, being both a mother and a local business owner. She also has a tough, no nonsense personality, and a frank, levelheaded demeanor that serves her well in a courtroom and during difficult negotiations.
Lori's son is now grown, living on campus and studying business at Old Dominion University. Now an empty nester, except for her sweet goldendoodle, Yankee Doodle Boy ("Doodles"), Lori is finding time for re-establishing hobbies that she hasn't had time to enjoy for years. When she's not killing it in the courtroom, Lori enjoys biking, exploring, and she swims nearly every day.
Ashli Pack, Attorney at Law
161 Walt Whitman Avenue
Meet Ashli:
A lifelong Virginian, Ashli comes to us from Crook & Pack, a general litigation firm located in Smithfield, Virginia. Ashli brings to the firm a great deal of experience in Suffolk, Smithfield, Isle of Wight, Newport News, Hampton, and York County. Having grown up in Suffolk and spent the majority of her post-law school life living in Smithfield, she has a familiarity with the courts and the judges in that area that can't be beat.
Ashli received her undergraduate education at East Carolina University, and attended law school at Widener College of Law in Delaware. At the time, she says she was hoping to eventually practice corporate law, but then realized she absolutely hated it! She returned back home after law school, to the practice where she originally worked as a paralegal, and discovered her love of family law cases—divorce, custody, protective orders, adoptions, and more.
A child of divorce, Ashli understands the unique circumstances involved in family law cases, and brings a compassionate understanding to issues specific to women only in divorce and custody cases.
Ashli married her high school sweetheart (though she insists isn't that romantic, even though we disagree), Brian, a lifelong Smithfield native. Brian is a co-owner of Smithfield Station, along with his brother, another prominent local business. Together, Ashli and Brian have four kids (two of the two-legged kind and two of the four-legged kind); a daughter named Lucy, a son named Turner, and two Labrador Retrievers, Sam and Abigail.
Aside from her family, Ashli's great love is the outdoors, where she enjoys boating, paddleboarding, and spending time at the beach. She's also incredibly athletic (and crazy competitive), and played basketball, volleyball and track in high school, and even continued to play volleyball on into her college years. These days, though, Ashli spends her time managing her active family, and you're likely to find her shuttling kids from t-ball to soccer and piano lessons. Ashli also loves sushi, the color pink (who doesn't?), Redskins football, and beating her husband in cornhole tournaments.
Lorna Rhoades, Attorney at Law
Meet Lorna:
Lorna Cobb Rhoades, a native of Poughkeepsie, New York, came back to Hofheimer Family Law after an internship here in 2008. She met our founder, Charlie Hofheimer, and his daughter, Kristen Hofheimer, through an old family connection. Her parents adopted a total of six children (in addition to four biological children, of whom Lorna is the eldest). One child was adopted from Korea, another through Catholic Charities, and the remaining four through the foster care system through an attorney in Pennsylvania.
Lorna went to law school at the University of Florida, and connected with her family's lawyer friend, who referred her to Hofheimer Family Law. Our work with Protective Moms groups, and Charlie and his wife Diane's work with Champions for Children (formerly Prevent Child Abuse Hampton Roads) led Lorna to our doors. A staunch advocate for children, after seeing firsthand what kind of neglectful and abusive situations came out of the foster care system, Lorna always knew she wanted to be an advocate for children. Interested in both adoption and custody work, Lorna knew that family law was the avenue she wanted to pursue.
Lorna has a wealth of experience, too, which she brings to her practice of family law. Her husband, Mick, a flight officer in the Navy, has been stationed in a number of difference places during Lorna's years in practice. After law school, she practiced in Georgia, where she accepted a prestigious position as a law clerk for Senior Judge Hugh Lawson, a United States District Judge in the Middle District of Georgia, and then as an attorney practicing employee benefits law at a private law firm in Atlanta, Georgia. She then moved to Arizona, where she worked in the Pima County Attorney's Office, Civil Division. She returned to Virginia in 2017 and started practicing family law in another local family law attorney's office, but couldn't resist the opportunity to return to Hofheimer Family Law.
Lorna's experience touches on a number of issues important to Hampton Roads women – as a Navy wife, she's intimately acquainted with the specific issues military spouses face, and is comfortable navigating the tricky territory associated with military divorce law. In her work in the Pima County Attorney's office, she worked in the mental health area (specifically authorizing involuntary commitments, and so on), which makes her particularly well informed when it comes to husbands with unique mental health issues. Obviously, too, her personal experience with adoption her legal experience with divorce and custody cases brings an interesting and valuable perspective.
An ardent advocate for moms in the courtroom, Lorna is also clever, quick, and comfortable in negotiations. Serving her client's best interests is her first priority, and she does so with zeal, professionalism, and confidence.
The mother of two children, Gracie and Callan, who keep her pretty busy, Lorna also loves to work out (particularly Zumba) and play the French horn. Lorna and Mick live in Chesapeake, where her family lives nearby.
Lorna's Reputation:
Lorna was very easy to talk to
I was very pleased with my experience, I had a positive experience. She was very easy to talk to and made me feel at ease about my situation.
Jessica H., Virginia Beach, VA
I had a list of concerns and she addressed them all
Lorna Rhoades was very kind and understood my personal needs. She was concerned about my future and brought up things that I was not thinking about. I believe that she has my best interest at heart. All of my questions were answered, Mrs. Rhoades pointed out a lot of things that I was not aware of and was very understanding. It was not complicated to explain my situation and to be understood. I would want everyone to have the best legal representation.
Carrie M., Virginia Beach, VA
I left my appointment with all of my questions answered
Lorna was very kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. She made me feel comfortable in an obviously stressful situation and spoke to me in a professional manner but with understanding and empathy. The staff in the office were friendly and kind as well. I left my appointment with all of my questions answered and feeling as good as possible about what may happen in my situation.
Michelle P., Virginia Beach, VA
A great asset to our case
As soon as I sat down to speak with Lorna Rhoades, she listened so intently and briefly reviewed supporting documentation to my case. Immediately I felt as if she was meant to be our attorney. And, by not retaining her a great asset to our case would be lost.
Lorna is knowledgeable about the law and personable. She really makes you feel like she cares about your voice and your children's best interests. I felt, even though I had been with my attorney for 3 years, that in our current case my voice as a parent was not being accurately represented or recognized.
Your firm does a wonderful job with women. I can't think of anything that would improve what you're already doing.
Monica I., Virginia Beach, VA
Caitlin Walters, Attorney at Law
Meet Caitlin:
Caitlin Walters joined the Hofheimer Family Law Firm in 2013 after practicing at another local family law firm. Caitlin got her BS in History and Secondary Education from McKendree University in Illinois. She was also a member of Kappa Delta Pi, the education honor society. From there, she moved to Virginia Beach, Virginia to attend law school at Regent University, where she served as editor in chief of the esteemed Journal of International Law. She also interned at the Chesapeake Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court.
Following law school, Caitlin practiced at Phillips & Peters in Norfolk, Virginia. She handles many complex family law cases, but particularly enjoys custody cases. While at Phillips & Peters, Caitlin was certified by the Virginia courts to work as a Guardian ad litem, an attorney who represents children whose parents are involved in difficult custody cases. It is the job of the Guardian ad Litem to ultimately make recommendations to the court regarding appropriate placement for children, based on what is in the best interests of the child.
When Caitlin came to Hofheimer Family Law, she brought with her a unique understanding of the way local courts function and a passion for handling complicated custody cases. She is a knowledgeable but approachable attorney who is as comfortable drafting documents regarding complicated property distribution as litigating custody arrangements in front of a judge. Caitlin is a fierce advocate for her clients and a meticulous and incredibly detail oriented attorney.
Caitlin is happily married to her high school sweetheart, Lance, a gregarious former DJ turned IT staffing consultant, who she met when she was just 16 years old. She and her husband live in Virginia Beach with their dog, Carpenter. They are also active members in their church, First Baptist Church of Norfolk, where they both serve as young adult pastors and belong to a Christian worship band. In her spare time, Caitlin enjoys reading and music. She has been a member of her church choir from the age of 3, and can also play the trumpet and the piano. Caitlin really loves the St. Louis Cardinals, brightly colored sunglasses, and the great state of Missouri.

Caitlin's Reputation:
I wish I'd known about this firm when I was getting divorced 9 years ago...
Caitlin was very clear and efficient and understood what I was going for immediately. I loved the speed with which I was able to get her help! She was friendly and efficient and I felt immediately that we were on the same page. I am confident she will move on my issue speedily. I am confident that I am on my way to solving a longstanding issue with a very competent lawyer. I called on Monday and I was able to speak to Caitlin on Tuesday - about 24 hours later! That's amazing!
Michele M., Glen Allen, VA
She listened to my needs
Caitlin was very open and honest on what I need to do to protect myself during this difficult time.
Laura, Carrollton, VA
She is a very smart lady
Caitlin made me feel important and she took her time to explain everything to me when I had questions. She is a very smart lady, very good and detailed. I like the fact that the law firm represents females only.
Angela M., Chesapeake, VA
Caitlin put me at ease
Caitlin Walters was personable, knowledgeable, confident, and put me at ease with the situation. She was wonderful! I highly recommend her and plan on hiring.
Katherine L., Virginia Beach, VA
I feel prepared to go to my court date
Caitlin was extremely helpful! She couldn't have been more helpful over the phone than if I had been able to be there in person. She even brought it to my attention that I needed to send in my interrogatories by a certain date or I could be penalized. I feel prepared to go to my court date and feel confident in what I need to say to the judge.
Rachel M., Virginia Beach, VA
She made me feel more confident and positive
Caitlin presented at the 2nd Saturday seminar I attended. It was very informative and helped me understand the crucial elements in divorce, what to expect and made me feel more confident & positive with representation from Hofheimer firm. Caitlin covered everything I wanted to know, she was very responsive and answered the questions I had correctly. I so appreciated the information shared.
Trinidad L., Virginia Beach, VA
I received the correct answer to my question and heard valuable facts
I attended the 2nd Saturday seminar and found Caitlin to be very informative. I had been asking questions about divorce, researching online, and I found I would hear many different answers. Coming to the seminar, I received the correct answer to my question and heard valuable facts. Caitlin was clear and she delivered the information in a personable way I related to. She also gave great examples. I may come back!
Bridget P., Virginia Beach, VA
I believe these women could help any woman succeed in her case!
Caitlin outlined many options for me and was extremely helpful. I got a lot of valuable information, including an understanding how a separation agreement works. She was very focused on my needs and rights. She listened attentively and made me feel secure in her advice. My goal is to move out of state, which will be complicated, but she made these options easy to understand and weigh.
Maria B., Virginia Beach, VA
I felt like she really listened to my questions
There's nothing I didn't like about this firm. Caitlin is awesome! They offer so many services and the attorney I met with was great. I felt like she really listened to my questions and was on my side about how I wanted to handle things going forward.
Kelly G., Virginia Beach, VA
I'm a going though a separation. I met with Caitlin and she was professional and to the point. I liked the information and felt comfortable enough to hire her.
Stacy T., Virginia Beach, VA
The Husband Lies
I felt comfortable talking with Mrs. Walters and Lorna. If they had not advised me to go to the spousal support hearing I would have missed out on the small amount of support I was awarded. However, I am grateful to be awarded any amount. Mrs. Walters remembered me from the seminar, helped me put some significant points in my agreement and educated me on the next steps to take toward the divorce process. They educated me very well about what to expect. Although, he did sign the agreement I did not because my spouse HAD NOT filed his malpractice case and my attorney advised me not to sign. I was surprise he had not filed because he had been telling me that they were about to settle the case. As your book said the Husband LIES.
Tisha F., Hampton, VA
Comfortable with my plan
Caitlin listened and heard me and what I am hoping to achieve. I felt comfortable with the plan(s) I left with.
Dawn S., Chesapeake, VA
She was very knowledgeable and made me feel very welcomed
Caitlin was very welcoming and attentive to my requests and questions in regards to the divorce. She helped me understand what was missing and what needs to be done to move forward with my divorce. She made me feel at ease with the current situation.
J. M., Virginia Beach, VA
She put my fears to rest
Caitlin immediately put my fears to rest. She listened answered my questions and gave me confidence that all was going to be right. Her quick manner at appraising the situation, checking and rechecking paperwork and confidence showed she knew what the next steps were to be. I needed quick answers and was able to get an immediate consultation. Felt there was honesty, thoroughness and confidence which I needed.
Julia C., Duck, NC
Law firm gave me hope
I left feeling like Caitlin was thoughtful and genuine in her advice responses. She gave me advice on how to carry on from this point out... with or w/o retaining her services, she helped me at least get my head in the game. There were things that I hadn't considered before, such as, I actually had to file for Custody and Visitation if I wanted to ask for time. This law firm gave me some hope and I felt like they did what they could to help me.
Karen C., Portsmouth, VA
My best interest in mind
Caitlin was an absolute joy to work with, she put me at ease and worked very hard to get all of my needs and wants written down. She was very knowledge and caring. I felt she had my best interest in mind and was ready to do what ever needs to be done to help me in my situation.
Hope L., Chesapeake, VA
No unanswered questions!
Caitlin was considerate and knowledgeable. She was very understanding and explained everything very well, without making me feel uneducated. I didn't leave the office with any unanswered questions.
Michelle N., Norfolk, VA
Very Helpful!
Caitlin was very informative and covered all aspects of the divorce process. She was very helpful in answering questions and providing clarity to the group. I am very grateful this seminar was available to women. I've tried several attempts to seek legal guidance with unanswered questions and found little to no support from other firms without paying an upfront retainer fee.
Dawn W.
This Is Information I Have Not Received From Prior Lawyers
From Custody Boot Camp:
How you present yourself in court is important and I was never coached on that. This also lets me know what to expect of my lawyer. I liked that Caitlin seemed to take her cases personally and not just as number.
Rosa R.
Nothing But Pure Awesomeness!
From Custody Bootcamp:
Invaluable information! I've had three court appointed attorneys in the past three years and never knew how much of an injustice was being done to my case and what I am actually entitled to do.
