About Richard A
Richard A Dulaney built a legal career that bridges decades. He studied at Yale University, earning a B.A., Magna Cum Laude, in 1977. He followed that with a J.D. from the College of William and Mary in 1977. Those academic credentials laid a foundation for a long practice in Virginia.
He founded Dulaney, Lauer & Thomas in 1968 and serves as senior partner. The firm bears his name and has been the center of his professional life for many years. His title reflects both his leadership role and the continuity of a practice sustained over time.
Dulaney’s involvement in the legal community extends beyond his firm. He is a member of the Virginia State Bar and holds memberships in the Culpeper County Bar Association and the Fauquier County Bar Association. He has also served as a Commissioner in Chancery, a role that placed him in quasi-judicial assignments and required careful factual and legal review. Those activities have kept him engaged with county and state bar networks.
His career path shows a blend of private practice and court-related duties. Over the years he has balanced managing a firm and taking on matters that required detailed judicial procedures. That balance shaped how he approaches cases and client work, emphasizing procedural precision and steady representation.
Colleagues and peers have known him for a steady presence in local legal circles. He has practiced law in Virginia for decades, maintaining ties to the communities served by his firm. His work has been primarily rooted in the state where he is licensed to practice.
Outside of memberships and firm duties, Dulaney has remained active in legal matters that arise in his region. He continues to work on cases and matters that reflect the needs of clients who turn to his firm for counsel. He remains based at Dulaney, Lauer & Thomas and practices law in Virginia.
He currently practices at Dulaney, Lauer & Thomas handling matters in Virginia.
