Citizens Ask...
By Michelle Williams
Q: Can the County Attorney help me with my legal issue? A: The County Attorney represents the Orange County Board of Supervisors, and the various departments in the county government. As such, he cannot provide legal advice or opinions to citizens, or private individuals. If you need private representation, you may wish to consult your personal attorney, contact the Legal Aid Justice Center at (434) 977 - 0553, or the Virginia Lawyer Referral Service at (800) 552 - 7977. Q: Where can I find job opportunities with the County? How can I apply? A: Current openings can be found on the County ’ s Human Resources ’ Job Opportunities page and on www.indeed.com. To apply directly with the County, applications can be picked up from the County Administrator ’ s Office, located at 112 W. Main Street, Orange, downloaded from the website, or apply online. To be notified of the latest job openings, sign up for notifications.
