DEPEND ON THE FORMER DETECTIVE, ATTORNEY NATALIE DOUGLAS
At The 2071 Law, we’re not your typical law firm, and that’s intentional.
Born out of a badge number and backed by real-world experience, our firm was founded by a proud veteran and former police officer who knows firsthand what it means to serve, protect, and fight for what’s right. We’ve walked the beat, stood in courtrooms, and seen how the system treats people, especially those who don’t fit the mold. That’s why we built something different: a legal practice that’s bold, modern, and unapologetically real.
We serve clients across Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Accomack, Hampton, Newport News, Williamsburg, and beyond. Whether you need us in person or remotely, we’re here to make justice more accessible, no matter your zip code.

Whether you’re dealing with a reckless driving charge, recovering from an accident, appealing a criminal conviction, or defending your freedom, we bring clarity, calm, and strategy to your corner.
