About Cara
Cara Purvis is an attorney at Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers who focuses on helping clients injured in motor vehicle accidents, including car, truck, and motorcycle crashes. She is committed to guiding clients through the pre-litigation process and helping them pursue the compensation they deserve. She attended West Virginia University and was a member of the Pride of West Virginia Marching Band (go Mountaineers!) before moving to Virginia Beach and graduating magna cum laude from Old Dominion University. She received her J.D. from Regent University School of Law.
Cara has devoted her entire career to helping others in the Hampton Roads area as an employment counselor, probation officer, and for 18 years as a trial attorney and Deputy Public Defender in Norfolk, Virginia where she represented indigent persons charged with felony and misdemeanor criminal offenses in the Juvenile & Domestic Relations, General District, and Circuit Courts. She handled close to 3200 cases throughout her career which included both jury and bench trials and was regarded as a compassionate client advocate and a fierce opponent in the courtroom. Cara joined Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers in 2023 where she advocates for those injured through no fault of their own.
She is the proud mother of a son who is the product lead for a tech/streaming company in California and a daughter who practices law in DC. She is a member of Tapestry Church and enjoys photography and singing.
