Litigation and Dispute Areas of Law

The WAW Litigation Group is a team of skilled and aggressive trial lawyers with established credentials, serving Augusta and Rockingham County. Our experienced attorneys handle a broad spectrum of cases ranging from simple to extremely complex on behalf of individual, corporate, and insurance clients.

While our trial practice is focused in the United States District Court and Virginia Circuit Courts, WAW attorneys regularly appear in state and federal courts across Virginia, West Virginia and many other mid-Atlantic states. WAW attorneys served as lead trial and appellate counsel for publicly-traded WLR Foods, Inc. (now Pilgrim’s Pride) in federal court litigation as part of the successful defense of a hostile corporation takeover attempt. This nationally-followed litigation led to the validation of key corporate governance laws for the Commonwealth of Virginia.
