It all began in an office on Duke of Gloucester Street, which served as home to the law practice of Ashton M. Dovell, former Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates. His secretary, Mary Inman, read law under his supervision in her spare time. In 1932, she became one of the first women attorneys for the Commonwealth of Virginia, and later served as the City of Williamsburg's first attorney.
Geddy, Harris, Franck & Hickman, LLP was established in 2002, and moved to its present location at 1177 Jamestown Road. Andrew M. Franck joined the firm in 2002 and Richard H. Rizk in 2003, with both being named partner in 2007. Vernon M. Geddy, Jr. passed away in 2005. Christine R. DeModna joined the firm in 2012.
