I've handled accident cases on every major Hampton Roads crossing: the HRBT, the MMMBT, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, the James River Bridge, and the Coleman.

Hampton Roads Motorcycle Accidents: Why Contributory Negligence Hits Riders Hardest

by Anthony I. Shin, Esq.

Virginia is one of the hardest states in the country for injured motorcyclists. The pure contributory negligence rule lets carriers blame the rider for almost anything. I've seen too many strong cases lost because of bad early decisions. If you've been hurt on a Hampton Roads bike, talk to me before you talk to the insurance adjuster.

Shipyard Worker Injuries in Hampton Roads: Third-Party Claims Beyond the Longshore Act

by Anthony I. Shin, Esq.

Longshore benefits are not the end of the story for injured shipyard workers. I handle third-party claims against vessel owners, equipment manufacturers, and outside contractors for clients hurt at Norfolk Naval Shipyard and Newport News Shipbuilding. If you've been injured on the deck plates, the workers' comp check is just the beginning. Call me.

Hampton Roads Truck Accidents: Federal Rules That Change Every Commercial Vehicle Case

by Anthony I. Shin, Esq.

Commercial trucks on I-64, I-264, and I-664 produce devastating accidents and complicated cases. Federal regulations, higher coverage limits, and corporate defense teams all change the playbook. The earlier I get involved, the better the evidence picture looks for my clients. Call me before the trucking company's investigators get there first.

Hit by a Drunk Driver in Hampton Roads? Punitive Damages Under § 8.01-44.5

by Anthony I. Shin, Esq.

Virginia law gives you tools beyond ordinary negligence when a drunk driver causes the harm. Punitive damages under Va. Code § 8.01-44.5, favorable evidence rules, and recovery paths most attorneys overlook all come into play. I handle drunk driving injury cases across Hampton Roads. If a drunk driver hurt you or someone you love, call me.

Personal Injury in Hampton Roads: A Working Attorney’s Guide

by Anthony I. Shin, Esq.

I've handled personal injury cases across every corner of Hampton Roads. The bridge-tunnels, the interstates, the shipyards, the oceanfront, the bases. Each comes with its own crash patterns, defendants, and recovery rules. If you've been hurt in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Newport News, or anywhere across the region, call me before the carrier locks in its position.

Gray Divorce in Hampton Roads: Untangling Decades After Fifty

by Anthony I. Shin, Esq.

Divorce after fifty is its own category, and I see Hampton Roads couples in this position every month. Decades of accumulated assets, military and federal pensions, Social Security claiming decisions, and healthcare coverage transitions all enter the analysis. The standard divorce playbook does not work here. Call me to talk through your situation.

Adultery in Hampton Roads Divorce: When Fault Grounds Pay Off

by Anthony I. Shin, Esq.

Most Hampton Roads divorces don't need fault grounds. But sometimes pleading adultery under Va. Code § 20-91 changes the spousal support analysis, the equitable distribution outcome, or the timeline in ways that matter. I help clients decide whether fault is worth pleading, and how to prove it if we do. Call me.

Estate Planning for Hampton Roads Military Retirees: A Working Attorney’s Guide

by Anthony I. Shin, Esq.

Hampton Roads has one of the largest military retiree populations in the country, and the estate planning that works for civilians does not work for our retired Sailors, aviators, special warfare operators, and federal civilian shipyard workers. SBP elections, TSP beneficiary forms, USFSPA obligations, VA disability, and TRICARE coverage all change the analysis. I help retired military families build estate plans that actually fit. Call me.
