Todd Stone is a trial lawyer in Richmond, VA.  He grew up in Harrisonburg, VA where he prosecuted criminal cases after law school. He moved to Richmond, VA to lead both the violent crimes unit and the drug prosecution team in two of the largest urban prosecutor's offices in Virginia.  In Henrico County, he was appointed as Special Counsel to the Multi-Jurisdiction Grand Jury for the City of Richmond & the Counties of Henrico, Hanover & Chesterfield.  In 1999, as a Special Assistant United States Attorney, he assisted in the prosecution of a “takeover” capital murder & bank robbery case.  This effort required about a year of preparation and after a lengthy successful trial he was presented with the Director’s Award from United States' Attorney General, The Hon. Janet Reno, in Washington, DC.  Stone's immediate supervisors were the Hon. James B. Comey, current Director of the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and the Hon. Ken Melson, former acting Director of the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms).. Although he prosecuted numerous notable trials including murders, the Fan area serial rapist and multi-defendant gang violence & drug conspiracies, perhaps the most memorable was one he chose not to prosecute.  As a young prosecutor Stone was handed a high profile supermarket shooting case to prosecute.  He tenaciously prepared by visiting the scene, speaking with witnesses and reviewed numerous reports.  The cross-racial identification was shaky and when he uncovered evidence that strongly suggested the innocence of the young man, he dropped the case shortly before trial.  "A defense attorney's duties are to the client, but a prosecutor's duty is to the justice system as a whole.  That case was memorable and I've never had any regrets.". Stone handles a select number of cases in order to dedicate the time & attention that a case deserves.  His office is in the historic Columbian Block building above the cobblestone streets of Shockoe Slip in downtown Richmond, VA.  Stone has received the peer-voted “Superlawyer” for multiple years, the “Nation’s Top One Percent,” the “Top 100 Trial Lawyers,” the “Top Ten Attorneys,” the “Ten Best,” & as noted above, the Director's Award from U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno.. Todd Stone is regularly called as a legal analyst on multiple news outlets across Virginia & the U.S.  In the past, the list includes “NPR” National Public Radio, CNN, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, CBS This Morning & others. Most often he proudly serves central Virginia's two most historic & relied upon news sources, WTVR CBS6 television news & WRVA news radio 1140 AM.  WTVR was the first television station established south of Washington, DC.  WRVA, established in 1925, was one of the first radio stations in the U.S.. Outside of the law field, Stone advocates to help find a treatment or cure for a medical condition that affects his children.  He serves on the Board of Directors for the Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation (MDF).  The MDF is the only major "disease-specific" foundation in the U.S. that focuses on Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy (MMD).  The foundation has grown exponentially in recent years and is advancing important medical research.  There is genuine promise of a treatment within our own lifetime.  Because it's caused by an extra stutter in the DNA  scientists have focused on silencing that portion of the gene with some marked success.  Since there's nothing missing in the DNA, silencing the toxic RNA leaves a normally functioning system thus an effective treatment could actually reverse the disease symptoms (as opposed to just halting it's progression). This has been shown in recent years with treatments tested in animal models.

I’m Corey Pollard, a Virginia trial lawyer for injured people, disabled adults and children, and accident victims with Jenkins Block & Associates, founded in 1977. The Firm’s legacy speaks for itself.. I’ve had the opportunity at Jenkins Block & Associates to help people in their time of need. Most of my cases involve either: (1) a seriously injured worker who faces permanent disability and wage loss; (2) a disabled adult whose combination of physical and mental health impairments prevents him or her from working full-time; (3) a disabled child whose medical condition prevents him or her from functioning at the same level as peers; or (4) a negligently caused serious injury arising out of a car accident or tractor-trailer accident. Many of our cases come from other lawyers who know we can handle the complex nature of Virginia workers’ compensation and Social Security disability claims, health care providers, and past clients for whom we have obtained fair compensation and disability benefits.. Many of the cases I handle involve more than one area of law. The rules and regulations that govern Virginia workers compensation, Social Security disability, Long-term disability, personal injury, and employment law matters are connected. For example, if you are injured in a car accident while on the job, you have rights under the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act and Virginia personal injury laws. If the accident causes severe injuries that restrict you to light duty, your employer must comply with federal employment laws. And if your accident prevents you from returning to work, you may be entitled to Social Security disability benefits. This interaction between workers’ comp, disability, injury, and employment law is why I limit my practice to these areas. I’ll use every available legal option to get you the payment you deserve.. I like helping people get justice under the law, and I like to write about the law. Educating injured workers, disabled adults, accident victims, employees, and labor union members about their legal rights is important to me. I’m the author of An Injured Employee’s Guide to Virginia Workers’ Compensation, which you can get a copy of by sending me an email. I’m also the author of an extensive website and blog, which you’re reading right now. Because of my legal writing, I’m often contacted by other attorneys and members of the general public to answer questions about legal issues in Virginia workers’ compensation, FMLA, and Social Security disability claims.. I enjoy spending time with my wife, Leigh, our dog, Simba, and playing basketball and golf. When I’m in the mood for punishment, I cheer on my favorite football team, the Washington Redskins.. My Background. Born and raised in Newport News, Virginia, I traveled down Interstate-64 to earn my Bachelor’s degree, cum laude, from the College of William & Mary, where I was a varsity swimmer. I earned my law degree, cum laude, from the University of Richmond School of Law. In law school I served on the Client Counseling & Negotiation Board, the Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest, and and was selected as a teaching assistant in Legal Research and Writing.. I began my legal career as an associate attorney with Whitt & Del Bueno, a workers’ compensation and liability defense firm that represents many of Virginia’s largest employers and insurers. But representing insurance companies and employers who put profits over people was not how I wanted to spend my career. That’s why I switched to plaintiffs’ work and ran Dozier Internet Law Firm, a boutique litigation firm that represented people like you in internet defamation, copyright, and trademark matters, before joining Jenkins Block & Associates..
