David M. Zangrilli, Jr., a principal in the firm's Family Law & Domestic Relations practice group, represents clients in courts throughout Virginia including the Northern Virginia counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, the city of Alexandria, Fauquier and Winchester.
David has been a family law attorney for almost 10 years. David strives to meet each individual client’s specific needs in the most efficient, thorough and cost-effective manner possible by providing sound advice (both legal and practical), reasonable expectations and zealous advocacy.
David represents clients who are engaged to be married in negotiating and drafting prenuptial agreements, those who are married and seeking a separation/divorce, and clients who were never married but have children and therefore custody, visitation and child support issues. He represents clients in both uncontested divorce matters and extremely contentious divorces. David successfully settles the majority of his cases through negotiation, mediation, and the drafting of Marital Settlement Agreements, thus saving his client’s thousands of dollars by avoiding costly and prolonged litigation. For those cases that cannot be settled, he has extensive experience litigating all facets of family law matters including child custody, visitation rights, child support, spousal support/alimony, the valuation and division of assets (including real estate and retirements), valuing and dividing a spouse’s business, and proving adultery/desertion/cruelty.
Besides practicing in the trial courts (Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Courts and Circuit Courts), David is often retained by spouses after their trial is finished who were unhappy with the results achieved by their former counsel to file an appeal with the Virginia Court of Appeals. He also has extensive experience representing parents in international custody and kidnapping matters and litigating pursuant to the Hague Convention.
David has been selected by his peers as a Virginia Rising Star in the 2010 and 2011 Virginia Super Lawyers magazine. David has been a frequent guest on Wayne Zell's Blueprint for Wealth radio show on Federal News Radio 1500 AM. Click here to listen.
