Devon and John Slovensky had the distinct privilege of spending a recent spring weekend at the U.S. Supreme Court for the American Inns of Court Celebration of Excellence. From the historic surroundings to the incredible company, it was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the best of the legal community.

Congratulations to all the honorees who continue to lead our profession with integrity! ⚖️

When it’s late on a Friday and the to-do list is still long, this team doesn’t have for the door—they roll up their sleeves.

Our receptionist to our paralegals, everyone is pitching in to get these filings out. That’s the Slovensky law difference: a culture built on mutual support in a relentless focus on our clients results. We work together so our clients never have to feel like they’re standing alone.

We are incredibly proud to announce that Attorney Emily Sitzler has submitted her name as a candidate for the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court judgeship in Bedford County.

While we strive to keep the best talent on our team for as long as possible, seeing our attorneys considered for the bench is the ultimate testament to the caliber of counsel we provide our clients. A firm’s strength is measured by the quality of its people, and Emily exemplifies the dedication and expertise that the Virginia legal community deserves.

If you are a member of the Bedford Bar, we hope you will join us in supporting Emily. We are cheering for her!

“I’ve walked this road myself.”

That’s how Attorney Emily Sitzler describes why she chose to practice family law here at Slovensky Divorce & Family Law.

After going through her own divorce, Emily understands just how emotional, overwhelming, and financially stressful these cases can be. With 21 years of experience, she guides her clients through the process with empathy, honesty, and strength.

💬 “The most fulfilling part of my job is seeing former clients months or years later — thriving, happy, and rebuilding their lives. Knowing I played a small part in that is what keeps me going.”

As both a family law attorney and an adoptive parent, Emily brings not only legal expertise but also personal understanding to every case — whether it’s divorce, custody, or adoption.

If you’re navigating the challenges of divorce or growing your family through adoption, Emily and our team at Slovensky Law are here to help.

✨ A Tree With a Story ✨
This year’s Hotel Roanoke Christmas Tree Contest means more to us than ever. Devon grew up visiting this show with her dad — a lifelong Roanoke artist who poured his creativity into making Christmas magical. Now, he’s handmade the ornaments for our Star City of the South–themed tree, and being part of this tradition together feels like a priceless gift.

You can support the event — and the United Way of Virginia — by voting for your favorite tree for as little as one penny. Every cent goes toward helping our community.

If you see our tree, we hope it brings you as much joy as it brought us to create it. 🎄💛

✨Meet Lauren Webb ✨
We’re so excited to officially welcome Lauren as one of our newest attorneys at Slovensky Law PLLC! 💼

Lauren's story is a full circle moment having spent last summer with us as a Summer Associate — and we’re thrilled she decided to come back for good as an attorney! Originally from Texas, she made the big move to Roanoke, VA, to kick off her legal career and start this next adventure. 🌄

An LSU Law graduate, Lauren recently married her husband, Campbell, in March, and when she’s not working hard for her clients, you’ll find her outdoors — hiking or curled up with a good book. 🧡

Welcome to the team (and to Roanoke), Lauren! We’re so glad you’re here. 🙌
