Our Foundation

From the Jobsite to the Courtroom.

White Horse Law Group was founded by Virginia Beach native Jeff S. Howell, Jr. In 2014, Jeff entered law practice with one mission: helping entrepreneurs, founders, and value creators navigate the battlefield of business.

Jeff is a passionate Catholic and lifelong martial artist whose values were forged during nearly two decades of summers working for his family's construction company. That life experience made him a natural advocate for overcoming the obstacles encountered by self-employed tradesmen and small, local, and family-owned businesses.

Our firm is built on three pillars: wise counsel to prevent legal problems before they arise, tireless trial advocacy for the battles that must be fought in court, and AI-augmented tools that help us enforce judgments and get our clients paid. Jeff founded White Horse Law Group in 2025 as Virginia's first AI-native law firm. Our purpose-built tools allow us to deliver superior results faster and at fees which are lower and more predictable than our competition. Whatever your legal needs, White Horse Law Group stands ready.

Our Commitment

The Advocates' Creed.

Passion for Justice

We are legal advocates that revere our profession and have a passion for justice. We believe that the practice of law is not a mere occupation but a noble calling. We keep our faith, our values, and our desire to serve our community at the center of all we do.

Reputation for Grit

Our team is known for resourcefulness and a refusal to be outworked. We strive always to be good stewards of our clients' hard-earned resources — ensuring the fees we charge are exceeded by the value our efforts create.

Steadfast Values

We will never perpetrate or tolerate unlawful, unethical, or untruthful conduct — from adversaries, clients, colleagues, or courts. To those who seek to lie, cheat, steal, or harm, we are formidable adversaries.
