Hampton firm fights for your rights

Our attorneys serve clients in Newport News, Hampton, Williamsburg, and all of York County by providing high-quality representation in these practice areas:

• Personal injury — Whether your personal injury caused by someone’s negligence or carelessness involves a vehicle accident, defective product or poorly maintained premises, we can help you get fair compensation for medical expenses, property damages and other losses.
• Head, brain and spinal injuries — Injuries to the head, brain or spine are likely to cause significant if not lasting impairment that could involve a lifetime of care. We will consult medical experts to accurately determine the full extent of the harm you’ve suffered and seek the maximum damages allowed. We also represent the families of victims whose injuries were fatal by bringing wrongful death actions to address their loss.
• Motor vehicle accidents — Auto accidents can cause life-changing injuries, permanent disability and even death. We represent victims of car accidents by seeking settlements or verdicts for the damages they deserve. We also understand the special circumstances of clients injured in bicycle collisions and motorcycle crashes and assist them in recovering full compensation.
• Workers’ compensation — We aggressively fight for our clients to get fair treatment from their employers when they suffer on-the-job injuries or illnesses. If your claim for workers’ compensation is denied by your employer or their insurer, we will represent you in appealing the decision so you can get the benefits you need while unable to work.
• Criminal defense for DUI — Whether or not you are a first-time offender, we fight to protect your rights and to reach the best possible result for DUI charges as well as traffic offenses including speeding, reckless driving, driving with a suspended license, and road rage threats.
