Your Attorney
Scott R. Barney, Esq.
Virginia Beach Personal Injury Attorney
I've spent more than 20 years representing people across Hampton Roads after the worst day of their lives: car wrecks on I-264, motorcycle crashes, falls, the loss of a family member. I started this firm on one principle: injured people deserve the same aggressive representation the insurance companies give themselves.
When you hire me, you get me. I'm the one who reviews your file, calls the adjuster, and stands up in court if they won't be fair. Not a case manager. Not a junior associate. Me.
“The first offer an insurance company makes is almost never what your case is worth. My job is to know the difference, and to fight for it.”
How I Work
A different kind of injury firm.
No fee unless I win
You never write me a check. My fee is a percentage of what I recover for you, and if I don't win, you owe me nothing. That's how I've always worked.
I come to you
Hospitalized or unable to travel? I make house calls, hospital visits, and video consultations. Recovering shouldn't mean fighting to reach your lawyer.
You'll always reach me
I answer my clients' calls personally. You'll never be left wondering what's happening with your case or waiting weeks for a callback.
The Team
Small firm. Direct access.
Scott R. Barney, Esq.
Attorney & Founder
Handles every case personally, from the first call through the final settlement or verdict.
Jackie Romana-Smith
Paralegal
Keeps your case moving: records, documentation, and the day-to-day so nothing falls through the cracks.
Local Roots
This is my community, not just my market.
I live and work in Virginia Beach. I know the local courts, the adjusters, and the roads where these crashes happen: First Colonial, Virginia Beach Boulevard, I-264, the HRBT. When you call, you're talking to a lawyer who's part of Hampton Roads, representing clients across Norfolk, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, Hampton, and throughout Virginia.
Tell me what happened.
Free, confidential, and no obligation. You'll never owe me anything unless I win your case.
