Introduction to Mr. Wilson’s Practice
After graduating from Georgetown University Law Center, Mr. Wilson was hired by one of Virginia’s largest and most prestigious law firms, where he developed- a sophisticated commercial litigation and insurance defense practice. For over twenty years, he represented Fortune 500 companies, such as Coca-Cola, Norfolk Southern, Verizon, General Electric, Siemens Westinghouse, and prominent insurance companies in liability claims litigated in both state and federal courts. Mr. Wilson handled complex commercial disputes, as well as catastrophic loss cases, involving claims for wrongful death, professional malpractice, severe personal injury and multi-million-dollar property losses resulting from fire, water and other types of damage. Mr. Wilson received big firm training, charged big firm rates, and got big firm results.
Now that he has decided to serve his clients as a solo practitioner, you can hire a “big firm” lawyer to represent you, but with the benefits and flexibility of being represented in a small firm setting.
Contact Mr. Wilson to discuss your personal injury claim, including elder abuse and nursing home neglect; truck, motorcycle, bicycle and severe automobile accident cases; products liability claims; or any other type of personal injury claim.
Even though Mr. Wilson has been a trial attorney for thirty five years, he still believes in offering a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your rights, just as he did when first practicing law in Virginia. Take this opportunity for a free consultation with an experienced lawyer and see what the big insurance companies and sophisticated businesses already knew when Mr. Wilson was their lawyer: choosing the right lawyer makes a difference. With Mr. Wilson, you have that choice.
