Peters Eric Attorney

Divorce
Virginia is a hybrid divorce state. This means that you can file for divorce on no-fault grounds or seek a divorce based on fault if your partner commits adultery or is guilty of marital misconduct. Divorces in Virginia generally follow one of two paths â€“ contested and uncontested divorce.
Child Support
More than $600,000 in child support is collected in Virginia each year, benefiting 14% of children in the state. No matter their relationship with one another, parents have a legal obligation to provide for their children financially. Child support benefits the health, safety, education, and care of Virginiaâ€™s kids.
Child Custody and Visitation
With so much at stake, a person seeking child custody should consult a family law attorney. E. Gordon Peters, Jr., Attorney at Law, offers full legal services for clients in child custody dispute cases. To find out more about legal options in establishing a parenting plan, contact Gordon for a consultation. He represents clients in Lynchburg, Blackstone, and surrounding communities throughout Virginia.
Adoption
Premarital Agreement
Furthermore, couples can enter into a marital contract before or after getting married. A marital agreement entered into before the marriage is known as a prenuptial agreement. Conversely, a marital agreement entered into after getting married is referred to as a postnuptial agreement. If you need help drafting a marital agreement with your fiancÃ© or spouse, consulting with an experienced Virginia family law attorney is important for detailed guidance.
Spousal Support
The end of a marriage ultimately results in the division of assets and often with the payment of spousal support(also known as alimony) from one spouse to the other. Despite the popular conception that the woman always ends up receiving the alimony, Virginia law is neutral on the subject and uses a variety of factors to determine if spousal support should be awarded, and if so, for how long, how much, and to whom.
Legal Separation
Engaged spouses and married couples often agree to share their property, assets, finances, liabilities, and debts. Unfortunately, things donâ€™t always work out as planned. Should there be a marital breakdown, their coupleâ€™s marital assets will be subject to equitable distribution during the divorce proceedings. Thankfully, a marital agreement can help determine how the couple's assets will be distributed in the event of a divorce, legal separation, or death of one spouse.
Annulment
A report from the Virginia Department of Health indicates that there were 21,177 divorces and annulments statewide in 2018. In the same year, there were 879 adoptions in Virginia. Occasionally, family matters and relationship issues, including divorce, marital agreements, alimony, adoption, asset division, child custody, support, and visitation, require legal guidance. With heightened emotions and the psychological toll involved, having professional support and experienced representation is crucial.
Child Abuse

Criminal Defense
If youâ€™ve been charged with either petit larceny or grand larceny in or around Lynchburg or Blackstone, Virginia, contact E. Gordon Peters, Jr., Attorney at Law. Gordon is an experienced criminal defense lawyer who will fight for your rights and represent you aggressively to pursue the best possible outcome.
DUI/DWI
For DUI defense in the Blackstone and Lynchburg areas of Virginia, call E. Gordon Peters, Jr., Attorney at Law to schedule a consultation.
Traffic Violations
In the state of Virginia, traffic violation offenses can include speeding, running a red light or a stop sign, expired registration, distracted driving, and improper lane changes. Penalties include traffic violation fines, demerit points, increased auto insurance rates, and license suspension.
Sex Crimes
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a total of 25% of women and almost 10% of men experience domestic violence during their lifetime. This includes both physical assault and sexual assault, as well as stalking by an intimate partner or a family member. If you are facing a domestic violence charge, you might be unsure of who you can turn to for help. Whether there was legitimately violent behavior or your charges are blown out of proportion, hiring a criminal defense attorney to fight this legal battle on your behalf is an important first step.
Robbery
Capital murder. Under certain special circumstances, the willful and premeditated killing of another person is classified as capital murder. Some examples of the special circumstances include a deliberate killing of a person during or after a robbery/attempted robbery or rape/attempted rape, killing of a law enforcement officer, judge, or witness in a criminal case, and hiring someone else to kill a person, among other circumstances.
Burglary
A felony is a serious crime that attracts harsher punishments. As defined by statute, felonies are punishable by imprisonment in a state or federal prison for a minimum of one year, a possible fine, and (depending on the nature of the crime) the death penalty. Examples of a felony crime include murder, aggravated malicious wounding, burglary, forgery, and wobbler offenses. For the purpose of sentencing, felonies are organized into six different classes (Code of Virginia Â§ 18.2-10). These classes include...
Theft
Misdemeanors
In the Commonwealth of Virginia, any person who violates the law may be charged with a misdemeanor or felony offense. If convicted, the defendant could be facing hefty fines, lengthy jail time, a criminal record, and other life-changing consequences, depending on the severity of the crime and other circumstances.
Drug Crimes
Criminal drug charges can be tough to deal with. In the state of Virginia, a simple possession conviction can land you in jail for up to one year. In some cases, you can simply be in the wrong place at the wrong time. You could have been holding a bag for someone at one moment, and the next you're being charged with drug possession.
Assault
In the state of Virginia, assault and "assault and battery" (or battery) crimes can include simple assault and battery, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, and aggravated malicious wounding. The penalties for any of these assault and battery crimes usually depend on the seriousness of the threat, the severity of the injuries inflicted, and other circumstances.
Murder
First-degree murder. If there are no special circumstances that elevate the charges to capital murder, the defendant will be convicted of first-degree murder.
Homicide
Contact a skilled murder defense attorney at E. Gordon Peters, Jr., Attorney at Law, to formulate a strong defense and help you combat the charges. Dedicated to protecting the rights of clients, Gordon is prepared to fight tirelessly and aggressively on your behalf. Gordon has represented numerous clients in a variety of homicide cases in Lynchburg and Blackstone, Virginia.
Shoplifting
Shoplifting, however, is more than just pocketing an item and walking out of the store. Switching price tags on merchandise or otherwise paying less than full price for the item is also considered shoplifting.
Forgery
Manslaughter
When another individual is killed due to a hunting violation or a hunterâ€™s negligence, it may result in criminal charges of manslaughter. Where an individual was shot but not killed, then the charge may be assault and/or battery. Both of these charges can carry penalties of fines and jail time.
Hit and Run
Moving violations include all crimes, infractions, and violations committed while the vehicle is in motion. For example, speeding, tailgating, reckless driving, running a stop sign, failure to yield, hit and run, and improper lane changes.

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
Gordon decided to follow in his fatherâ€™s footsteps by serving his community as a lawyer and enrolled at The University of Richmond School of Law. Upon graduating with his law degree in 1999, he practiced corporate law for a little while in Richmond, before his dad persuaded him to come back to Lynchburg and join his family law firm.
Business Disputes
This tremendous spike in supply and demand creates enticing opportunities to cash in on a trend that has high potential value. However, tapping into this market requires working with an attorney who understands both marijuana and business law. If youâ€™re an entrepreneur in Lynchburg or Blackstone who is curious about investing in the marijuana industry, reach out to Gordon. Heâ€™s ready to help you understand the applicable laws in your unique situation so that you can move forward.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning

Since 2002, he has dedicated his career to assisting people that need it the most and helping them seek a positive result. Schedule a consultation to get started.
Wills
Power of Attorney
He has assisted countless people through pre- and post-nuptial agreements; estate planning manners including wills, trusts, and powers of attorney; and elder law matters such as Medicare and Medicaid procedures.
