We strongly believe that in cases of nursing home abuse and neglect you and your family need time and space to recover, and to that end we pledge to do everything in our power to fight for the compensation and justice you deserve.

Personal Injury and Automobile Accidents
There were over 33,000 automobile accidents in the Portsmouth, Virginia district in 2005, and half of them resulted in bodily injury or death. Accident victims have rights under the law that are not openly addressed by insurance companies, and Weisberg and Zaleski make sure that their clients are aware of any and all eligible compensation that could be made available to them.
Medical Malpractice
Since medical malpractice has become a political talking point, the rules have a tendency to change from year to year. Weisberg and Zaleski have years of experience in medical malpractice cases, and have made sure that their knowledge and standards are in step with this evolving section of the law. They routinely confer with some of the foremost medical experts in America on behalf of their clients, and can make the damages and suffering of their clients easy to understand.
DUI, Traffic and Criminal Law Defense
Drunk driving arrests, traffic violations, and criminal charges are all confusing and terrifying events to go through. If you have been accused, it is crucial to have experienced defense. It can be the difference between making sure that your rights are respected and finding yourself facing serious fines or even jail time.
Business Litigation
Businesses can and do face all types of legal issues, from contract disputes and corporation dissolution to antitrust and copyright claims. Weisberg and Zaleski have the knowledge and skill that is required to help business owners negotiate outcomes that help instead of verdicts that hurt.
Divorce
While the divorce rates in Virginia have mirrored the national average and dropped slightly over the past decade, divorce is still an inevitable fact of life. If you are facing a divorce, Weisberg and Zaleski can give you the counsel you need, even if you think the split will be an amicable one.
