About Lawson, Tarter & Charvet, P.C.
Lawson, Tarter & Charvet, P.C. is an AV-rated* full-service real estate law firm serving the entire Northern Virginia community. We specialize in helping builders, developers and owners maximize the value and the use of their properties by navigating them through the local legal and regulatory landscape with our intimate knowledge of the law and the region.
We began shaping the Northern Virginia landscape in the 1950s, when our founder, William B. Lawson, Sr., opened his practice. He soon earned a reputation as one of the area’s pre-eminent land-use attorneys. Since then, we have continued to be at the forefront of development in this region, creating billions of dollars in value for our clients in a variety of ways: from gaining approval for large-scale mixed-use developments and high-rise residential buildings, to obtaining use permits and approvals for "in-fill” development.
Our core strength lies in our ability to combine the skill and expertise of a larger firm with the individual attention and personalized service of a small firm. This balance allows us to efficiently meet the needs of our clients from large-scale developers to individual property owners. Our attorneys have lived, worked and actively participated in the Northern Virginia community for decades, giving us unique and intimate knowledge not only of the needs of our clients, but the concerns of the local governments with which we interact daily. Whatever real estate counsel you need, Lawson, Tarter & Charvet’s attorneys have the knowledge and experience to help.
