Virginia Mountain/Valley Lawyers' Alliance

Welcome to the NEW Virginia Mountain/Valley Lawyers Alliance Website!

VMVLA is a regional bar association and member of the Virginia State Bar's Conference of Local and Specialty Bar Associations. While the association is all about practicing law in the Mountain/Valley Region of Virginia (Circuits 10, 16, and 20-30), our goal is to meet the needs of all Virginia Attorneys including our Virginia Attorneys Abroad -- those whose practice and residence is outside the Commonwealth. We even have our Virginia Associate status for Coastal Dwellers and Flatlanders! We are proud to support our members with quality CLE programs on Zoom throughout the year as well as in-person meetings in the Spring and Fall.
