Our attorneys regularly prosecute and defend the full range of litigation in state and federal trial and appellate courts-both in Virginia and nationally, and are well known as premier litigators in many specialty areas. We pride ourselves in being actual "trial attorneys," and not merely "litigators." In other words, we will not shrink from trying cases at the last moment. We will "paratroop" into litigation at any point. We are well staffed with attorneys who are flexible enough to handle complex and catastrophic losses on short notice. We are also experienced at taking over litigation from other counsel, and "retooling" the defense. We take great pride in responsiveness, and pledge to return calls immediately and report timely.
The firm has a regional and national reputation in the areas of catastrophic loss and products liability defense. With one of the most active transportation law practices in Virginia, we routinely represent trucking companies, manufacturers, railroads, bus lines, airlines and the aviation industry. We act as monitoring and coordinating counsel in many multimillion dollar casualty losses. In this role, we deal with on-the-scene investigation of losses, including retention and coordination of experts, coverage analysis, management and coordination of the defense, trial counsel. Our trial attorneys have amassed an impressive record of trial victories on behalf of manufacturers and suppliers of numerous types of products, including automobiles, insulation products, heavy equipment, household appliances, electrical and commercial equipment including aircraft and related parts. We regularly defend the full range of toxic tort/environmental litigation, from mold and lead, to pesticides and asbestos. Our personal injury defense litigation attorneys routinely speak at national, regional and local conferences concerning topics ranging from trial advocacy, evidence and the preparation and handling of complex trials, to appellate argument and procedure.
