About:
Growing up, Alanna’s parents heard primarily one complaint from her teachers: she talks too much. In high school, she had an English teacher sit down and explain to her that she needed to develop her listening skills and taught her that she would learn a lot more by listening than by talking. Alanna is a product of LA Law, and in her youth, the television show glamorized being a lawyer. Being active in debate and public speaking in high school and college, law school was a natural progression. She found that the two important qualities in being a family law attorney is listening to her clients and finding solutions that work for their families. After graduating from California Western School of Law, Alanna spent several years in San Diego, California, representing more than 400 clients in a wide range of legal matters, including personal injury, medical malpractice, contract disputes, and wrongful banking practices. In 1999, she relocated to Northern Virginia where she joined a firm focusing my practice on family law issues. Alanna wanted to make more of an impact in her new community and decided family law was a chance to get justice for her clients in incredibly important ways. She joined the firm formally known as The Duff Law Firm in June 2004, where she handled all aspects of family law matters, and eventually became a principal of the firm. After spending several years in her own practice, Alanna joined Cook Craig and Francuzenko as a Principal in April 2020. She continues to advocate tirelessly for her clients and enjoys mentoring the firm’s young associates.

"Scam artists. I essentially paid them $5,000 for a letter to me from them, and they have the audacity to ask for more? They didn't do any work for me."

"If you are in a high conflict litigation, this is the firm for you. If you are trying to disentangle with someone who has unpleasant characteristics (e.g., narcissistic or manipulative) this firm will truly help. Robert Moreton and his team worked tirelessly to ensure the outcome of our case focused on the best interest of our children, while also protecting our equities. He did not sugar coat anything. He saw through the "untruths" and understood the situation. If you need an attorney who will be available to you 24/7, pamper, and placate you -- please don't use this practice. If you want a highly educated, experienced, and hard-working attorney who will work for your best outcome, then call them! Moreton will forever be on our speed dial."

"John Whitbeck was a God send. I had 3 lawsuits all extreme in nature, one professional said worst they'd seen in almost 30 years. The WhitbeckBeglis team provided patient guidance, consistent support & expert defense for my situation over this last six months. All with positive outcomes for my family. I HIGHLY recommend WhitbeckBeglis for anything legal related to Divorce, Custody, Defamation, Spousal Support, Parenting, Property or False Accusation Defense. Thank you WhitbeckBeglis team you did an outstanding job helping this Dad & his Family!"

"I can’t say enough about Jim Beglis. He fought like an absolute champion to protect me during one of the most terrifying, emotionally exhausting battles of my life. My ex set out to destroy me—and Jim wasn’t just my attorney; he was my shield, my strategist, and the unwavering support I needed when my whole world came crashing down. Jim is the real deal. He’s kind, he’s honest, and he knows how to win. And when your life feels like it’s on the line, that’s exactly what you need. Voted Best of Loudoun for a reason—I’ve lived it. He earned every bit of that title. If you’re facing any legal fight and need someone you can trust to stand with you and fight for you, Jim Beglis is your guy. Not just a great attorney—the best. Period."
