It was 9 years ago today that I announced the formation and start of my solo practice, The Law Office of Christopher G. Hill, PC.  Back then, my children were in elementary and middle school.  Now I have two college students, one at Appalachian State University (with a budding photography talent that has provided some photos for this blog (including that on this post)) and the other at West Virginia University, and a rising high school junior.  In just the past year I began a tenure on the Section Council  Virginia Bar Association Construction and Public Contracts Law section and chair of its Legislative Committee where I assisted in the drafting of the change in the mechanic’s lien form that takes effect today..

I was named to both the Virginia Business Magazine Legal Elite in Construction Law and for a 3rd consecutive year to Virginia Super Lawyers in Construction Litigation.  I spoke on how to deal with a DPOR complaint this past November at the 39th Annual Construction Law and Public Contracts seminar (one I highly recommend for any lawyer interested in construction).

In the meantime, I made some new friends and worked with a great group of construction clients, friends and lawyers.  Not only that, but I celebrated my 25th wedding anniversary with the most wonderful and supportive wife a guy could ask for.  So all in all the 9th year of my practice was a great one.  Here’s to an even better year 10!
