Firm Focus

Slocumb Law Firm recognizes that each case is important, no matter how big or small, and each case receives the care and attention of our dedicated staff. At Slocumb Law Firm, we only represent victims of auto accidents, wrongful death, and tractor trailer accidents. We do not represent insurance companies, corporations or clients in divorce or real estate. Our practice is limited only to representing personal injury victims.

Firm History

Information coming soon.

Example Cases

Tractor Trailer Wrongful Death
$1,900,00.00 Recovery. Father and son were killed by a tractor trailer while traveling through Virginia. The insurance company initially denied responsibility for the accident. Our team of investigators and quick response documented evidence at the scene and resulted in the insurance company conceding liability and resolving the case.

Auto Accident
$575,000.00 recovery. Client involved in collision with a vehicle owned by a local trade school. Client suffered a fractured tibia, fibula and wrist. Client underwent multiple surgical procedures including an open reduction and internal fixation of the tibia.

What is your firm's point of view regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?

We always thoroughly explain the legal issues to each client and will welcome any questions clients may have as a result of research they have performed. An informed client is always a more satisfied client, and those who self-educate will generally have a greater understanding of the legal process and the many factors which are involved in preparing and implementing a strategy which will lead to success. For example, a client who understands some of the legal issues related to hit-and-run accidents or drunk-driving accidents will be better prepared for a consultation with one of our personal injury lawyers.

Are your attorneys willing to review documents prepared by clients?

We will always review any document prepared by a client. This will generally provide insight into details which the client might not otherwise recall at a later time. Often, statements, notes, drawings, and other documents prepared by a client will lead to the discovery of important facts in a given situation. This may help strengthen any type of personal injury case, from auto and motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice, and slip and falls to brain or spinal cord injury and wrongful death.

Are your attorneys willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?

We will assist clients in the development of a matter that they wish to handle on their own. While I'm willing to help clients this way, I let them know that having legal representation is almost always a better decision.

Are your attorneys willing to help a client with one discrete part of a case, without taking on the whole case?

Yes.

What are your policies about dividing work among the firm's partners, associates, and paralegals to make the process most cost-effective for the client?

Our firm works as a team for all of our clients to make the process effective and efficient. We have an informed staff that can help a client through every step of the process.

How frequently does your firm use mediation, arbitration, or collaborative law to resolve cases?

When the opportunity presents itself and it's appropriate, we do collaborate.

Does your firm provide pro bono legal services or otherwise participate in your community?

Yes, we participate in several local charities and sponsorships.

What distinguishes your law firm from others?

We are dedicated to and specialize only in personal injury, so our firm knows all the ins and outs of these sorts of problems. Our commitment to client service also distinguishes the firm.
