We focus exclusively on injury law and have successfully represented hundreds of victims who’ve been hurt in car accidents and truck wrecks. Our lawyers have more than 100 years of combined legal experience and deep Virginia roots.

We cannot legally state we are the best injury law firm serving clients in Portsmouth, Virginia (VA), but we can tell you that many of our lawyers have been selected for the highest honors in our area of injury law. Two of our lawyers, James C. Lewis and Richard N. Shapiro, were listed in the Best Lawyers in America publication for 2009, 2010 and 2011.

In 2005, our law firm was the first plaintiffs’ injury firm in Virginia selected for membership in Primerus, which is a prestigious international group of highly ethical law firms.  That organization carefully screens law firms, and the Wall Street Journal reported that Primerus offers “consumers a way to pick the good from the bad by establishing a sort of ‘Good Housekeeping’ seal of approval for attorneys.” Further, our law firm has the highest available “AV” rating from Martindale-Hubbell lawyer rating service, meaning we have a high reputation among judges and lawyers in Portsmouth, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Cheapeake, Suffolk, Newport News and Hampton for our legal skills and ethics. Three lawyers with our firm were designated “Superlawyers” in the Commonwealth for 2010 – only 5 percent of attorneys in Virginia received the honor.

Consider our history of big injury verdicts and major settlements. In 2000 members of our injury law firm, with co-counsel, obtained the largest personal injury verdict in Virginia’s history for a victim when a Manassas, Virginia, VA, jury returned a $46 million verdict. With interest the verdict totaled $60 million. That record verdict was obtained in a town that had never had any significant personal injury verdict, and it involved major orthopedic trauma and a traumatic brain injury. Our tremendous work and preparation paid off for our worthy client . Both before this record verdict and since, our experienced and determined injury lawyers have fought and won a long string of major settlements and verdicts in injury, disease, and wrongful death cases for our clients.

Two of our VA personal injury attorneys are included among the current edition of “Best Lawyers in America” (Virginia) for personal injury, railroad worker injury, and medical malpractice. In addition, our personal injury law firmbased in Virginia is recognized as a Tier 1 “Best Law Firm” by current rankings of U.S. News & World Report.
