Charles F. Hilton
Mr. Hilton has either tried to verdict or settled hundreds of personal injury and commercial lawsuits since beginning his legal career in 1983. His many successfully resolved cases were in the areas of medical malpractice, commercial litigation, trucking and automobile accidents, wrongful death, defective products and premises liability. Mr. Hilton believes that trial practice is the highest and most demanding calling in the practice of law and it is important for a prospective client to identify an experienced trial lawyer with the highest standards of professional and legal ethics. He brings a personal touch to every case and goes to all lengths to investigate and prosecute every case he takes.
Mr. Hilton is proud to have served as the President of the Virginia Association of Defense Attorneys, a statewide bar organization of over 800 members devoted to the improvement of civil trial practice. In that organization, he also served as Chairman of the Medical Malpractice Section. He is also a member, by invitation, of the Boyd-Grave Conference of the Virginia Bar Association which promotes law reform throughout Virginia. He has been listed repeatedly by Virginia Business Magazine as one of Virginia’s Legal Elite and was recently named as one of the Best Lawyers in America.
Mr. Hilton was born in North Carolina and served his country in the United States Army Judge Advocate General’s Corp from 1983 to 1986. He is a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute with high honors and distinction and Wake Forest University Law School.
