In civil litigation, anyone can be the underdog. Devon has fought for both individuals and businesses in state and federal court, and has achieved hard-won results in a variety of novel or difficult cases. He insists on meaningful, straightforward communication with each client, because he believes that an effective legal advocate must establish—and maintain—mutual, working trust. So Devon commits to achieving a thorough understanding of each client's priorities, returning phone calls, and carefully answering every question.
As his track record proves, Devon is particularly good at navigating mazelike pathways to achieve his client's goals. Devon has established particular expertise in business tort and contract litigation, catastrophic personal injury, employment and wage disputes, federal civil rights claims, and consumer and debt litigation. He has developed and shepherded two nationwide, federal class actions to successful settlement; litigated numerous multi-million dollar claims; and argued successful appeals before the Virginia Supreme Court and Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. As a result of his skills and integrity, Devon has earned the AV rating by Martindale-Hubbell on the basis of reviews from his peers in the legal community.
