Gainesville is known for its scenic beauty, friendly community, and quality of life. With a population of over 12,000 residents, this community offers a suburban feel with all city amenities.

The history of Gainesville is closely tied to the growth of Northern Virginia. Farmers and ranchers first settled the area in the early 19th century. In the late 19th century, the growth of the railway system brought new residents and businesses to the area. Today, Gainesville is a modern and thriving community with a rich history.

One of the biggest attractions in Gainesville is the lush greenery and scenic beauty of the area. This CDP is surrounded by parks and nature preserves that offer a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Some of the most popular parks in the area include the Manassas National Battlefield Park, the site of two major Civil War battles, and the Bull Run Regional Park, which offers a wide range of recreational activities, including hiking, camping, fishing, and boating.

Another major draw for Gainesville residents is its proximity to the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. This makes it an ideal location for those who want to live in a peaceful, suburban community while still having access to a major city’s cultural and economic opportunities. The area is well-connected to the city by the I-66 and I-95 highways, which make it easy for residents to commute to Washington, D.C. for work or leisure.

One of the best things about Gainesville is its friendly and tight-knit community. The residents of this CDP are known for their welcoming nature and willingness to help their neighbors. The local schools are highly regarded, with the majority of students attending either the Prince William County Public Schools or the Haymarket-Gainesville Library, which offers a wide range of educational resources and programs for residents of all ages.

In addition to its parks and community spirit, Gainesville is also home to a number of excellent restaurants, shopping centers, and entertainment venues. The town center is the hub of the community, with a variety of shops, restaurants, and businesses catering to local residents’ needs. In the evening, residents can enjoy a night out at one of the many bars and clubs in the area or catch a movie at the Regal Cinemas theater.

Overall, Gainesville is a vibrant and thriving community that offers its residents a high quality of life. With its beautiful parks and nature preserves, friendly community, and easy access to the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, this CDP is a great place to live for those looking for a suburban lifestyle with all the amenities of a major city.

What Our Clients Say About Us

Our attorneys in Virginia will represent you in divorce, family, business formation, criminal, personal injury &  estate planning cases.

Passionate, Fierce and Meticulous

I don’t normally post things and typically stay to myself, but I felt convicted as someone out there may be going through the same thing that I have- fighting for custody/ visitation of your child and can use some direction. There’s a lot of great attorneys/ firms out there and I have spent the money hiring and/ interviewing, but I needed a meticulous, fierce and dynamic one just to have a fighting chance. From the moment I met Attorney Rebecca Thacher, I knew she was the attorney for me. I didn’t feel like a client, I was family. What’s crazy about this….. My case was on a Monday morning, but because I retained her as my lawyer so late, I didn’t give her my information until almost after 4:00 on that Friday. She understood my plea for help and was absolutely fierce in the courtroom citing all my concerns and raised crucial points. I came out victorious. I’m a father and I know what it’s like for a child to be used as a weapon, with Attorney Rebecca Thacher you are not in this alone so please ask for help and retain her.

He’ll Fight For You In The Court Until You Can’t Fight Anymore

I got charged with a possession charge and couldn’t afford a lawyer at the time, so the court appointed Fernando to my case. Whenever you choose to get a court appointed lawyer you’re always taking a risk. Because you’re one of who knows how many clients the court has given him with the same problems. But, Fernando never made me feel like another “body” he’d do basic work for while moving to the next. He’s sincere, he listens, and genuinely wants his clients to succeed. He’ll fight for you in the court until you can’t fight anymore. He was truly a blessing and a great lawyer.

I Always Felt That She Had My Best Interests At Heart

Angela Morehouse at the Irving Law Firm represented me in my divorce and for the guardianship/conservatorship of my mother. Her and her paralegal are not only professional but thorough in their representation. I always felt that she had my best interests at heart and could count on her and the firm during my most difficult times. I would highly recommend Angela and the firm and wouldn’t hesitate to retain them in the future if the need arises.

Has Been Fully Engaged In Working My Case From The Moment He Was Assigned!

A fantastic firm. I have used them for both criminal defense and civil law and cannot recommend them enough. For my civil case I was awarded significantly more than I thought I would be getting and it came in a very timely manner. Fernando, who is handling my criminal case, is amazing. He has been fully engaged in working my case from the moment he was assigned. He is trustworthy, provides honest assessments of situations, and has proven himself invaluable to me. In this very trying time he has also shown that he actually cares about my case and it’s outcome. I’m so grateful he’s on my side and I have recommended him to a number of friends and family members. If you need a lawyer this entire firm seems to be absolutely top notch.

He Delivered On Everything He Promised!

Mark B. was amazing! He delivered on everything he promised. He prepared me for worst case scenario and had a great plan from the beginning. Luckily he was able to get all charges dropped. He’s a very busy guy but never made me feel like he rushed anything. I usually do not like dealing with lawyers, but he’s a rare breed. He’s very professional, personable and likable. Best of all he charged me a flat fee up front. I owe that guy everything. Least I could do is leave a great review. I would definitely recommend him, and use his talents again if needed.
