Virginia counsel

Jim: we need to hire counsel in Virginia to handle our license application
with the PUC. My experience in Washington was that the state was fairly
parochial and did not generally look favorably to Virginia licensed attorneys
from D.C. firms. On that basis, I would like to engage a "Virginia" firm
with good connections with the PUC. I used to use McGuire Woods for Virginia
litigation, but I don't know if they are on Enron's "approved" list, or if
they have the expertise to handle a PUC application. Do you have a
recommendation? Marc
