Lee Livingston

LEE LIVINGSTON has a 30-year history of success helping people who have been seriously injured. This has resulted in peer review awards, including being selected as “Lawyer of the Year" for both personal injury law and medical malpractice law by U.S. News and World Report, Best Lawyers.

​Lee frequently is brought into complex cases by outside lawyers. His list of top verdicts and settlements is long. He was part of likely the largest settlement involving a drunk driver in Virginia, the top verdict against the largest orthopedic practice in Virginia in 2018, and the top settlement involving county employees in a wrongful death case in Fairfax in 2019 (overcoming complex sovereign immunity issues).

​Lee consistently achieves seven-figure verdicts, getting full justice for deserving people. For example, in 2015, he won the first verdict by a patient against a doctor in Augusta County, VA, followed in 2016 by what is believed to be the best verdict in an elective plastic surgery case in Richmond, Virginia.

Consistently top-rated by clients, Lee has impressive ratings on Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers, Martindale-Hubbell, and Lawyers.com.

​Lee’s record of leadership highlights the priority he places on exceptional advocacy. He served as president of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association, as one of two State Bar Council representatives from the seven counties in the 16th Judicial District for two terms, and chaired the Virginia State Bar litigation section and the mandatory continuing legal education board.

Lee was selected by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia to work on a committee that writes and edits jury instructions for Virginia trials.

Winner of the annual Lighthouse Award from the Southern Trial Lawyers Association in 2019, an award given to one lawyer per year in the United States for pioneering work in trial advocacy and mentoring, Lee edits books for lawyers about evidence and medical malpractice that are published by LexisNexis.

Lee enjoys hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains and traveling in his spare time.
