Satterwhite Taddeo is built on a singular purpose: to provide high-caliber defense representation to health care providers and product manufacturers facing liability claims. Based in Richmond, Virginia, the firm’s attorneys are not mere advisors; they are seasoned trial lawyers who have successfully tried complex, multi-week cases.
For more than a decade, Satterwhite Taddeo has been recognized in the Richmond market as a “Tier 1” firm in the field of medical malpractice defense. What’s more, each shareholder is individually listed in The Best Lawyers in America.
The firm understands that defending clients in medical malpractice and product liability matters requires more than legal knowledge: it requires courtroom experience, tactical insight, and a willingness to defend cases all the way to verdict and beyond when appropriate. In an era when many firms shy away from trials, Satterwhite Taddeo’s lawyers have secured defense verdicts across Virginia.
