James R. Caskie circa 1922		E. Marshall Frost circa 1922

In 1896, George Evans Caskie opened the "Caskie Firm" in Lynchburg, Virginia. At the time, few could have predicted that over a century later the firm he founded would be one of the most respected and prestigious law firms in central Virginia.

Thirty years after his father founded the firm, James R. Caskie formed a partnership with E. Marshall Frost to establish Caskie & Frost, the name the firm still carries.

From the beginning, Caskie & Frost established and has maintained a reputation for excellence and a tradition of professional leadership and superior client service, offering a broad range of quality legal services throughout the entire central Virginia region.

The attorneys of Caskie & Frost have always been active participants in local, state, and national bar associations, legal education, and other professional activities. Every lawyer in the firm is a member of the Virginia Bar Association, the Lynchburg Bar Association, and the Virginia State Bar. Members of the firm are associated with many professional and honorary organizations, including the American College of Trial Lawyers, the American College of Trust and Estates Counsel, the American Counsel Association, the Attorney's Defense Research Institute, the American Judicature Society, the American Board of Trial Advocates, and The Virginia Association of Defense Attorneys. Two members have served on Virginia's Judicial Inquiry and Review Commission. Former members of the firm currently include two Circuit Court judges and the Chief Judge of the United States Tax Court. Another served as rector of the Board of Washington & Lee University for many years.

Caskie & Frost maintains comprehensive law and tax libraries, including on-line and in-house computer assisted research capabilities. Desktop access to the firm's computer database is available to the attorneys as well as every member of the staff.

Caskie & Frost has a strong commitment to the life of the Lynchburg community. Members of the firm, as well as associates and staff personnel, are involved in a wide range of community services and activities, including the Lynchburg Regional Chamber of Commerce, Woman's Resource Center, the governing boards of Sweet Briar College and Randolph-Macon Woman's College, the Lynchburg Baseball Corporation, Lynchburg's Kaleidoscope festival, and other civic, charitable, and church activities. All members of the firm provide pro bono legal services.

Caskie & Frost is proud of its long heritage as part of Lynchburg's legal and civic community. As Lynchburg grows and moves forward into the next century, Caskie & Frost will grow and move with it, meeting the challenges of the changing world and the changing needs of its clients. We will continue to develop skills and knowledge necessary to meet new challenges and to keep abreast of a rapidly changing society, while maintaining our primary mission of providing superior legal services with an emphasis on the personal nature of the lawyer/client relationship.
