Compton & Duling, L.C., a leading area law firm serving clients in the areas of real estate, business, domestic relations, estate planning and civil litigation, today announced recent additions to their Prince William office, in response to their growing client base. The firm welcomes Lauren E. Gallo, Margaret H. McEvoy and Krista N. Yancey to their practice.
“We’re excited to bring Lauren, Margaret and Krista to our firm,” says Jason Hickman, the firm’s Managing Member. “Their remarkable track records and breadth of experience will allow us to better serve our clients.”
Gallo comes to the firm from George Mason University, and will concentrate on community associations, civil litigation, creditors’ rights and real estate litigation. “Lauren will be an essential part of serving our growing demand for addressing HOA and real estate concerns,” says Hickman.
Specializing in real estate and land use, Ms. McEvoy will ensure that Compton & Duling’s clients continue to receive the highest quality representation in resolving their legal matters. “Margaret’s expertise is key to growing our firm,” Hickman says. McEvoy earned her law degree from William & Mary Law School and her undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia.
A recent graduate of the University of Richmond’s T.C. Williams School of Law, Krista N. Yancey will work in the firm’s Domestic Relations and Family Law practice. “Krista is an eagerly welcomed addition to our firm,” says Maryse C. Allen, the head of Compton & Duling’s domestic relations practice. “Compton & Duling has an excellent and established reputation in family law, and with Krista joining our firm, we see that reputation only getting better,” adds Hickman.
