About the Firm

The lawyers of Williamson & Lavecchia, L.C. represent people harmed by medical malpractice, defective products, misconduct by insurance companies and other types of negligent and wrongful activities. With offices in Richmond, our lawyers represent clients in federal and state courts throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia.

The cases handled by our lawyers often involve complex medical, scientific and technical issues. We believe success in our cases demands both a thorough knowledge of the law and an in depth understanding of the relevant principles of medicine, science and technology. The credentials of our lawyers reflect this belief ? half of our lawyers hold degrees in nursing and related specialties in addition to their legal training.
