Hopewell Legal Information

As a resident of Hopewell, you may wonder where your personal injury case may be handled as it proceeds through the Virginia court system.

Hopewell is a part of the Sixth Judicial Circuit. If your case arises in the area, this means that it could go through one of six Circuit Courts, including the Hopewell Circuit Court located on East Broadway in downtown Hopewell. The other Circuit Courts are in nearby Lawrenceville (Brunswick), Emporia (Greensville), Prince George, Surry, and Sussex.

Workers’ compensation and Social Security disability cases go through different systems.
