Yvonne T. Griffin

“My staff and I truly value our clients. We fight with everything we’ve got to help them recover the full value of their cases. We fight to recover all of the available med pay, reduce their medical liens, and maximize their settlement offers; and when the insurance companies won’t offer a fair settlement, we take them to court and let the jury decide. Our clients deserve to be made whole.” — Yvonne Client Testimonials: “Yvonne Griffin is an extremely smart lawyer. Her years of experience were on prime display as she worked through every difficult problem with my car accident case. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer.” “I highly recommend Yvonne Griffin and her staff. Not only did they get me a great settlement, they also got my medical liens reduced, which meant more money for my family.” “Yvonne Griffin represented me in a car accident that required many months of hands on attention. She was a compassionate person always taking into consideration my limited ability from my brain injury, but not making me feel inferior. I highly recommend Yvonne. She is a true professional.” “Thank you for taking my ‘small’ case. I know you all worked hard to help me and I’m very grateful for all you did for me.” “Yvonne Griffin is a fearless trial attorney with significant court room experience.” Sample of Yvonne Griffin’s Jury Verdicts and Settlement Results: [The results obtained under one set of circumstances cannot be a predictor of future results.] Charlottesville, VA Car Accident with Brain Injury – $3,000,000 Car Accident with Brain & Neck Injury – $740,000 Charlottesville, VA T-Bone Car Accident – $300,000 Crozet, VA Stop Sign Motorcycle Accident – $600,000 Palmyra, VA Drunk Driver Truck Accident – $150,000 Medical Negligence Leading to Cerebral Palsy Birth – $2,600,000 Augusta Health Medical Negligence Leading to Leg Amputation – $1,750,000 Medical Negligence Leading to Liver Failure & Wrongful Death – $800,000 Hospital Failure to Prevent Suicide – $750,000 Orange County, VA Employee Assault and Battery by Business Owner – $600,000 Scottsville, VA Vicious Dog Bite – $150,000 Harrisonburg, VA Vicious Dog Bite – $50,000 Charlottesville, VA Cat Bite – $50,000 Education and Prior Experience: After graduating from Georgia Southern University in 1980 with a Bachelor of Art (BA) in English, Yvonne Griffin received her Masters of Business Administration (MBA) from Northwestern State University in 1985, and her Doctor of Jurisprudence (JD) from the College of William and Mary Law School in 1988.
