WASHINGTON, Feb. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Torridon Law PLLC is pleased to announce that Richard Cullen, the former Virginia Attorney General, U.S. Attorney, and, most recently, Counselor to Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, is joining the firm as a Partner.

From 2022 to 2026, Mr. Cullen served as Counselor to Governor Glenn Youngkin. As a member of the Governor's cabinet, he provided oversight and guidance for legal matters occurring within the Office of the Governor.
