About Us
Virginia based Satterwhite Taddeo proudly focuses on defending health care providers and product manufacturers. For more than a decade, the firm has been recognized by Best Lawyers as a “Tier 1” firm in the Richmond, Virginia market in the field of Medical Malpractice Law – Defendants. Shareholders Kim Satterwhite and Todd Anderson are also individually listed in The Best Lawyers in America.
Every partner at Satterwhite Taddeo has tried complex cases to verdict. Our attorneys understand the unique challenges facing individuals and businesses defending liability claims not only in Virginia but also nationwide, and regularly provide advice on compliance and risk management issues. We work to forge close relationships with members of the legal, medical, industrial and manufacturing communities throughout Virginia and the nation and appreciate the unique challenges of defending clients in varying jurisdictions and venues. This broad knowledge base and strong work ethic has led to Satterwhite Taddeo concluding a majority of its cases with no payment by the defendant, either through verdict, dismissal, or claim abandonment by the plaintiff.
In an era when fewer attorneys try cases, Satterwhite Taddeo’s lawyers have obtained numerous defense verdicts following complex, multi-day (and sometimes multi-week) trials. Juries across Virginia - including Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, Hampton, the City of Richmond and Prince William County - have returned verdicts in favor of our clients. Satterwhite Taddeo has the expertise and resources to successfully defend high exposure cases, as evidenced by the firm obtaining the largest defense verdicts in medical malpractice cases identified by Virginia Lawyers Weekly in both 2015 and 2016.
At Satterwhite Taddeo, we recognize the importance of each case to our individual clients and are mindful of the emotional and practical impacts of litigation, particularly when plaintiffs’ demands often run in the millions. Our trusted and experienced team acts quickly to identify issues and works diligently to achieve our clients’ goals, whether through pursuit of early, cost-effective resolution or defense of the case through verdict and appeal. We endeavor to provide exceptional legal service while keeping value in mind. Satterwhite Taddeo offers competitive billing rates, employs state of the art technology, and works to provide the best defense to our clients in an efficient, cost-effective manner.
