I am passionate about representing the rights of the injured and disabled. I focus my practice on serious personal injury, workers’ compensation, and whistleblowing actions. As a proven advocate for my clients, I am a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, a prestigious association of the top trial lawyers in the United States. Fewer than 1 percent of attorneys in the United States are members of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. Regardless of my client’s matter, I understand the trust given to me and my firm to use our best efforts to help achieve their objectives. In personal injury litigation, this means being relentless in seeking full compensation from all those responsible for injuries. If you are in need of legal counsel, please call me. I look forward to learning about your matter and explaining how my firm and I can help.

P. Heith Reynolds

P. Heith Reynolds, also known as Heith, is originally from Wise County, Virginia, and has deep roots in the Appalachian region. He attended J.J. Kelly High School before graduating summa cum laude from Clinch Valley College of the University of Virginia, where he was a member of the Darden Society and played on the men’s basketball team. He went on to earn his law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law. With over 28 years of legal experience, Heith has primarily focused on workers’ compensation, social security disability, black lung/rock dust, and personal injury law. He has handled thousands of cases in these areas, driven by a personal connection to the coal mining community. Heith’s passion for representing coal miners stems from his upbringing in the coal fields. Both of his grandfathers, whom he considers his heroes, were coal miners who suffered from black lung disease, with one passing away from its complications. Heith honors their legacy by treating every miner he represents with the same care and respect he would have shown his grandfathers. In addition to his legal practice, Heith has presented at various seminars and guest lectured in law school classes. He remains proud of his Appalachian heritage, with one of his fondest memories being riding in a coal truck with his father, who was working to pay for his education. This experience left a lasting impression on Heith, and he carries that pride in his work and his life. Outside of his legal work, Heith is also active in his church, participating in initiatives to combat addiction, support re-entry, and address homelessness. He enjoys spending time with his wife and family, being with his dogs, and time spent on the water.
