Editor's Review
VerifiedLawFirms editorialFamily law fills the docket in Richmond
Stiles Ewing Powers PC works out of Richmond, Virginia, and its case list stays close to marriage, parenting and money that changes hands when a household splits. Divorce, child custody, visitation, child support and spousal support all appear on the practice-areas page. Property division and business valuation in divorce show up alongside them.
Adoption sits in the same practice group. So does assisted reproductive technology, which is a narrower field than most family firms advertise. Premarital agreements and separation agreements round out the planning side of the work.
The firm also handles modification or termination of court orders. That matters after a decree, when incomes shift or a parent moves. In my opinion, keeping post-decree work in-house says something about how the firm expects client relationships to run.
How eighteen attorneys are put to work
The site navigation lists eighteen attorneys by name. For a single-office family law firm, that is a large bench, and the biographies suggest the depth gets used.
Shareholders and their focus
Mollie C. Barton has been with Stiles Ewing Powers since 2006 and was named shareholder in 2015. She earned her J.D. from George Mason University School of Law in 2004 and was admitted in Virginia in 2005. Her work covers all areas of family law: divorce, custody, visitation and support.
Barton also handles family formation. She has represented intended parents and donors, and has drafted embryo and sperm donation contracts. Adoption and assisted reproductive technology matters run through her practice.
Charles E. Powers is a shareholder who has concentrated on family law throughout his career. He holds a B.S.J., cum laude, from Suffolk University (1987) and a J.D. from the Marshall-Wythe School of Law at the College of William and Mary (1990). He sits on the Board of Governors for the Family Law Section of the Virginia State Bar.
Mark B. Michelsen is a shareholder as well. He earned a B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1985 and a J.D. from the University of Richmond in 1989. His docket runs to domestic relations and divorce cases with equitable distribution questions, including business valuations and support determinations. He has training in mediation and collaborative law.
Named partners and senior counsel
Mike S. Ewing practices family law and has litigated in courts across Central Virginia. He takes on complex financial matters, business valuations and separate property tracing among them. His custody work includes parental relocation cases and matters involving allegations of child abuse and neglect.
Robert E. Henley III, who goes by Bob Henley, brings the longest paper trail on the site. He earned a B.A. from the University of Virginia in 1974 and a J.D. from the Marshall-Wythe School of Law at William and Mary in 1977. His practice covers divorce, separation and pre-marital agreements, property division, custody, child and spousal support, plus the valuation and classification of closely-held business and real estate interests.
C. Richard Davis is Of Counsel at the firm and offers consultations by video call.
Associates and other attorneys
Alvin A. Lockerman, Jr. is an associate with a wider footprint than most of his colleagues. He earned a B.A. from the University of Virginia in 1999 and a J.D. from the University of Richmond in 2003. His practice covers criminal and traffic matters, family law, real estate, appellate practice, and trusts and estates. He is also affiliated with Barrett and Lockerman, P.C.
Thomas H. Landrum handles family law matters and received his legal training at The University of Tulsa College of Law, graduating in 2011. Lauren K. Grant and Hampton B. Lamb both practice family law at the firm. Natalie T. McClearn and Player B. Michelsen appear on the attorney roster as well.
Three routes through a family case
Litigation is available at Stiles Ewing Powers, and several attorneys describe courtroom work in Central Virginia as a regular part of their practice. Mediation and Collaborative Law appear as the other two tracks. Barton guides clients through all three, and Michelsen has training in mediation and collaborative law.
Collaborative Law is a formal process with its own rules, and having attorneys trained in it changes what a client can be offered early on. As a reviewer, I read the presence of all three routes as a sign the firm expects some cases to settle and some to be tried.
Work that reaches past the divorce decree
The firm lists tax services, estate administration, and wills, trusts and estate planning. Those areas connect to family law in practical ways: a divorce changes beneficiaries, and an estate plan usually needs rewriting afterward.
International and military family law appear on the site too. Both raise jurisdictional questions that ordinary Virginia divorces do not, and the Richmond area's proximity to military installations makes the second category a live one. LGBTQ family law issues are also listed.
Child relocation gets its own mention, separate from general custody. Ewing's biography names parental relocation as part of his litigation work.
What the public record on the site supports
Stiles Ewing Powers maintains a Facebook page and a LinkedIn company profile. The website does not state a founding year, so the firm's age is a question the site leaves open. Attorney biographies vary in depth: some list law schools, graduation years and bar section roles, while others give a name and a practice area.
Barton's tenure since 2006 and Henley's 1977 law degree together indicate the firm has been operating for decades. In my opinion, the most useful signal here is credential specificity. Powers's seat on the Virginia State Bar's Family Law Section Board of Governors is a checkable fact, as are the degrees and years attached to seven of the eighteen attorneys.
For someone weighing a Richmond family law matter, the site gives enough to compare individual attorneys on training and case type. Barton and Michelsen both work on collaborative matters. Ewing and Henley both handle business valuation questions. Lockerman carries criminal, traffic and real estate work alongside his family docket.
