Professional Liability

Veteran Virginia and West Virginia Professional Liability Attorneys

Professional liability matters go beyond the average commercial dispute. They attack a professional's reputation, threaten careers and can be emotional, bitterly contested disputes. WAW attorneys understand the importance of your professional reputation, and we approach professional malpractice cases by considering how reputation and business concerns may be affected by the course of litigation.

WAW’s attorneys have almost 100 years of combined experience in defending professionals. Our Harrisonburg, Stanton and Lexington, Virginia professional liability attorneys have defended virtually every type of professional, including: hospitals, doctors, residents, agents, attorneys, architects, engineers and dentists. Our services for professionals not only involve defense of malpractice claims but also include handling contract and corporate matters and representation of clients before boards of professional responsibility.

The firm concentrates on efficiently but aggressively representing clients through every step of the litigation process, with careful attention to opportunities to pursue cost-effective alternative dispute resolution. We also counsel professionals on risk management and ethical issues, so that our clients can make informed decisions in dealing with potential claims before they ripen into litigation.

Our Virginia professional liability attorneys have represented architects and engineers in construction defect and design matters involving both small residential projects and large commercial and public entity projects; real estate and insurance professionals in matters arising out of a variety of personal and commercial transactions; pharmacists; and attorneys in both malpractice litigation and pre-litigation claim settings. We also have experience in litigating various miscellaneous professional liability matters and analyzing and litigating coverage disputes under professional liability policies.

WAW, above all else, a results-oriented law firm. We strive to produce results cost-effectively and efficiently, whether by skillful negotiation or through trial court representation. We work hard to protect our clients’ interests. Individuals can find themselves the subject of lawsuits based on actions taken in their professional capacities. Certain professions leave their practitioners particularly open to being sued for inappropriate actions — or for failure to act. If you have been accused of professional negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, or misconduct, discuss your situation with an experienced attorney right away.
