Shaheen Law Firm

What Shaheen Law Firm does

Shaheen Law Firm, P.C. is a Virginia-based, family-owned law firm founded in 1995 by Victor A. Shaheen and now led by his three sons — Victor A. Shaheen II (President), Faiz T. Shaheen (Vice President), and Blaise K. Shaheen (Vice President) following the founder's passing in 2025. The firm operates four offices across the Commonwealth of Virginia (Richmond HQ, Virginia Beach, Newport News, and Midlothian) and serves both individual consumers and corporate clients through seven practice areas: residential and commercial real estate, employee relocation, personal injury, criminal and traffic defense, estate planning, business law, and civil litigation. Its core differentiator is a high-volume real estate practice — the firm's Richmond relocation department averages more than 150 relocation transactions per month and the firm is described as one of the largest closers of residential real estate transactions in Virginia by volume.

Revenue is generated through a mix of pricing models matched to practice area: contingency fees for personal injury (no fee if no recovery), flat-fee packages for estate planning (with no retainers or hidden fees), transactional fees for real estate closings, and hourly or fixed professional service fees for business law, criminal defense, and civil litigation. Client acquisition is referral-led — the firm explicitly states it does not advertise on radio or television, instead relying on professional referrals and word-of-mouth from satisfied clients, supplemented by free consultations and a Squarespace-hosted website that supports online intake and payment via Keybox Payload. The firm maintains institutional channel relationships through membership in the Richmond, Hampton Roads, and Virginia Peninsula Associations of Realtors, and built operational ties with major title insurance and mortgage companies by virtue of its closing volume.

The firm has nine licensed attorneys (six with multi-jurisdictional Bar admissions including Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Florida) supported by approximately 40 paralegals, post-closers, receptionists, accountants, and coordinators across its offices. Technology footprint is minimal: a Squarespace website and Keybox Payload for secure payment processing are the only stated platforms, with no proprietary legaltech, no AI/ML capabilities, no disclosed APIs, and no mobile applications. Ownership remains entirely within the Shaheen family with no institutional investors, parent holding company, funding history, M&A activity, or subsidiary structure disclosed.
