As a new attorney, Les Brock made the conscious decision to work for a defense firm. That decision would shape the rest of his career, just not in the way he thought it would. There is a general opinion in society that there is too much litigation, particularly tort litigation, and Les bought into that. He thought that by working for a defense firm, he was taking the high road and could help defeat frivolous claims. And corporations get sued a lot, so working at a defense firm would provide him with the opportunity to gain extensive trial experience early in his career. This last part proved true — even as a young lawyer, Les was defending multinational insurers and corporate clients in front of juries in state and federal courts across Virginia. However, after defending large corporations for several years, Les came to the realization that the problem is not too much tort litigation, the problem is that there are too many torts being committed. There are a lot of honest, well-meaning companies. There are also a lot dishonest companies and companies that view harming people or damaging other businesses as simply a cost of doing business. "When you represent large corporations, particularly insurance companies, they expect you to handle every case — both good and bad. But I grew tired of representing faceless corporations whose only concern was saving money, even when they were at fault," he says. After more than a decade and a breadth of trial experience, Les had a desire to start his own firm. Les decided to turn his law practice to helping members of his community — both individuals and businesses — that have been injured or taken advantage of by others. Les now focuses his career on holding people and businesses accountable in personal injury, tort litigation, and commercial disputes. "Having a community-based practice is very important to me," he says. "I really enjoy helping the people and businesses in my community faced with significant legal challenges." Les received his undergraduate degree in Economics from the University of Georgia and his law degree from Washington and Lee University School of Law. After graduating from law school, Les served as a judicial law clerk to the Honorable A. Christian Compton, Senior Justice on the Supreme Court of Virginia.
