“Both Brian Vieth and his wife, Hannah, served in managerial capacities during their college days at the University of Richmond (U of R), where they met and then became close colleagues while juggling work and school responsibilities at the private university of 3,100 students.

“Their work – as student managers of the U of R football team – was a four-year ride filled with highs and lows, ranging from the thrill of a national championship in their first season of service to the Spiders, to an interim coach-led squad mired with a 3-8 record during their final year on the sidelines.

“‘There are ups and downs with any job, of course, but the friendships we made and the experiences we had made it all worthwhile,’ said Vieth, a medical malpractice attorney with Goodman Allen Donnelly in Glen Allen, Va.”

We're proud to celebrate attorney Harrison Gibbs for being named to the Virginia Supreme Court Access to Justice Commission's Pro Bono Service Honor Roll.

This recognition honors Harrison's commitment to serving others beyond his client work. During the 2024-2025 year, Harrison dedicated significant time to advancing access to justice throughout the Commonwealth, including through his leadership as Vice Chair and later Chair of the Virginia State Bar Health Law Section.

At Goodman Allen Donnelly, we believe the practice of law extends beyond the courtroom and conference room. It includes strengthening our profession, serving our communities, and helping ensure legal resources are accessible to those who need them most.

Congratulations, Harrison, on this well-deserved recognition and thank you for your continued dedication to service.

Memorial Day is more than the unofficial start of summer.

It’s a time to remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country, and to reflect on the sacrifice carried by so many military families.

As a veteran and attorney serving those navigating the VA benefits system, Patrick Cazalet shares what this day means to him.

Today, we honor the fallen. Always.

When service is part of the culture, recognition follows.

Congratulations to Peter Mellette on this well-deserved honor. With Harrison Gibbs also recently recognized, it’s a meaningful reminder that at Goodman Allen Donnelly, service isn’t a slogan. It’s how we show up.

Because service really matters.

The wins that matter most don’t always happen in a courtroom.

Last weekend, we supported the young athletes competing at Coastal Kickfest.

Investing in our local community means showing up where families are, where teamwork is built, and where future leaders are learning resilience one game at a time. 💜
