Northern Virginia Personal Injury and Criminal Defense Lawyers

You get yourself better . . . . we take care of the rest.

At FF, we focus on people---ordinary people, individuals, families, and children---who have unfairly suffered serious injuries or death due to the negligence of another. We are committed to helping victims of personal injury accidents nationwide. Our goal is to help you pursue not simply justice, but fair compensation as well.

Our lawyers have decades of experience fighting the insurance companies and we have a legal nurse consultant on staff to ensure that your medical evaluation is fair, complete, and accurate.  No other law firm will bring a team like this to bear for you. 

Why we can help - You may have a larger claim than you think

When you call our office about your case, we will begin a detailed investigation of your case right away and get your personal injury claim started within 24 hours.

We will identify who is responsible for your injuries and document the damages you have suffered as a result of the accident. We will then pursue the compensation you deserve from all possible sources. If necessary, we are prepared to take your case to trial in order to protect your rights.

We understand how to effectively present your case to insurance companies, judges and juries. Often the client is the worst person to tell his or her own story. Instead we marshal the hard evidence and the most compelling witnesses to tell your story. We can bring in your doctors, employers, friends, family, neighbors and others to discuss your life, your injuries and their impact on you.

We also find exceptional expert witnesses to review and analyze your case. Their objective, detailed evaluations demonstrate how the negligence of another caused your injuries. Together, these witnesses form the bedrock of your case and allow us to pursue a full recovery for your injuries.

We also work diligently to uncover maximum insurance coverage. We take an expansive view seeking umbrella policies, employer policies and other coverage to help ensure you receive the best possible outcome for your case.

How we're affordable – no fee unless you recover

We offer free consultation for every case.  Personal injury victims pay no contingency fees unless FF is able to secure a settlement or judgment that benefits them.  We never forget that your personal injury claim belongs to you. You'll need to decide at various points of the case whether to accept a settlement offer, present a counteroffer or get ready for trial. Our job is to give you the information and advice you need to make a sound decision at every point of the case.  We are dedicated to protecting your interests along the way.
