I got into a really bad car accident and had no clue what to do. Luckily I called Portner & Shure. Thanks to them I did not have to experience the stress of talking to the insurance company's, or the hassle of gathering additional information about my case. Portner & Shure did it all. They handled all of my medical bills, and even provided a convenient chiropractor that was amazing and made me feel like myself again. They also offered a settlement that I was very pleased with.The staff were friendly and respectful. My questions were answered promptly and in great detail. I felt like I was in good hands throughout the entire process Portner & Shure is top notch. They exceeded my expectations. I recommend this law firm to anyone who refuse to settle for less.. Thanks again Portner & Shure for making this tragic experience a stress-free process and providing a satisfying result.

Alexandria, Virginia

Alexandria Virginia

The first settlement in the area of what is now the City of Alexandria dates to 1695, however, the city was first incorporated in 1779. Alexandria holds the distinction of beginning as a city in Virginia, being chosen by George Washington to be a part of the District of Columbia in 1791, and then returned to Virginia in 1846. The City of Alexandria was the site of the first fatalities in the Civil War. Within a month of the battle at Fort Sumter, where there was no loss of life, a Union Colonel and a Confederate Captain were killed in a skirmish over a confederate flag that was flying over a local hotel and was visible from the White House.

As an independent city of Virginia - not affiliated with any county, such as Fairfax City or Manassas-Alexandria derives its governing authority from the Virginia General Assembly. In order to change the organization or powers of the city’s government, the city must request the General Assembly to amend their charter. The city is surrounded by Fairfax County in the West and South, Arlington County in the North, and the District of Columbia in the East. The city is made up of the neighborhoods of Old Town, Rosemont, the Berg, Del Ray, West End, and NorthRidge. As an independent city, Alexandria maintains its own centralized government, police force and court system.

The Alexandria courthouse is located at the 500 block of King Street in Old Town. The court system is separated into two divisions; General District and Circuit Courts. The General District Court can consider cases up to $15,000. These cases are decided by a judge and can be completed in less than four months from the initial filing date. In larger cases, the Circuit Court is the proper venue. These cases take up to one year to complete and are generally heard before a jury. Although Alexandria is a small area of just over 15 square miles, the make up of the city still creates diverse jury pools. The juries are not considered to be quite as conservative in personal injury cases as some of the City’s neighbors. This generalization is not always accurate, however, and is dependent on the type and severity of the accident and the resulting injuries. While juries can be conservative when it comes to smaller accidents with only physical therapy or chiropractic care they can also be extremely generous in cases where there has been a significant accident and an objective injury.

Our office tries cases in both the Alexandria City General District and Circuit Courts on a regular basis. We are familiar with the defense attorneys that work for the insurance companies, as well as the tendencies of the judges. Before we file a case, we do an analysis as to what is the best court to file in for each individual case. If you were involved in an accident, you should obtain legal representation. If you, or your family/friends have been a victim in a car accident, motorcycle accident, truck accident, work related injury, dog bite, slip and fall or any other personal injury, our attorneys can help you.
