About Our Firm in Charlottesville, Virginia

Most large firms have plush offices in downtown city high rises. The cost of that overhead is passed through to clients. In today's world, lawyers and their clients can communicate from almost anywhere. Zobrist Law Group believes that great lawyers can live in a small town, work in pleasant offices with low overhead and still provide the same service and work quality as lawyers at large firms at much more attractive rates.

In 2004, Duane Zobrist took on the challenge of starting his own firm in Charlottesville, Virginia. Having practiced law with large firms in downtown Los Angeles for more than thirty years, Mr. Zobrist saw a need for high quality, cutting-edge legal services in central Virginia. Mr. Zobrist had the experience and the know-how to bring big-city lawyering to central Virginia.

Lawyers Who Understand Business Needs

Today the clients of Zobrist Law Group include some of the most prominent individuals and businesses in the Charlottesville area as well as individuals and businesses across the continent. As a former chair of the U.S.-Mexico Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Zobrist's experience, ability to speak both Spanish and Portuguese, and contacts allow him to work across international borders. His experience as a businessman has also given him the ability to find practical solutions to business problems. Mr. Zobrist is a consummate deal lawyer who knows how to make business deals work.

Dale Jensen and Thomas Aldous joined Mr. Zobrist in 2009. Mr. Jensen focuses his practice on trademark and patent matters. He has a masters degree in business administration and worked as an engineer for almost twenty years before returning to law school. Mr. Aldous has his LL.M. degree in taxation from New York University. Having worked closely with and been mentored by some of the most respected estate planners in the nation, Mr. Aldous has broad experience in planning and administering trusts and estates for high net worth individuals.

Mr. Zobrist and Mr. Aldous are also well known for their work in assisting clients with the gifting of real estate for conservation purposes. No other firm in Virginia, in recent history, has helped its clients transfer more wealth for conservation purposes than Zobrist Law Group.
