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..

It's an honor and a privilege to be a member of the Virginia State Bar, and I awake thankful everyday that I'm a lawyer with the opportunity to help people in need.  Whether you've received a speeding ticket, you've been charged with a serious felony, you've been injured in an automobile accident, or you have an issue with your family, I believe I can help you.  I have a diverse practice with an emphasis on criminal, personal injury, and domestic relations law.  If the case could end up in front of a judge or jury, chances are that the case falls within my expertise.. I grew up in South Boston, Virginia, and after graduating from VMI I worked for three years in the healthcare construction industry.  I eventually decided I wanted to be a lawyer, and after law school I became a prosecutor in Southampton and Mecklenburg County.  During my time as a prosecutor, I tried numerous felony and misdemeanor criminal cases in front of judges and juries.  I then entered private practice, where I've continued to broaden my practice.  I represent large companies, single mothers, college students, business people, construction workers, and everyone in between.  There is no case too big or small, and I pride myself on having honest communication with all my clients.  I never promise a successful outcome, only that I will do everything in my power to get a favorable result, fight as hard as I can, and handle your case with the utmost integrity.. I spend most of my free time with my wife, Elizabeth, at our home here in Richmond.  I enjoy spending time with friends and family when I'm not at the office.  I'm an avid college football fan and spend Fall Saturdays pulling hard for Elizabeth's alma mater, The University of Alabama Crimson Tide.  In the Winter I enjoy watching college basketball and try not to miss many UVA games.  When the weather warms up, I enjoy spending as much time as possible outside, and I especially enjoying grilling different types of meat and fish.  We're proud members of First Presbyterian Church and try to stay as active as we can with church functions.. I hope this introduction tell you a littel about more than just my law practice.  If you have questions about a legal matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.  I'm here to help and look forward to speaking with you soon..

I work tirelessly for my clients, whether it be negotiating with the other side or handling a case through trial.  What I want is what you want - the outcome you deserve in the most efficient, effective manner.

I personally handle all aspects of my clients’ cases from the initial consultation to trial. I take great pride in the personal attention I am able to give to each client and I am never too busy to answer your calls. I understand how important your case is to you and will work hard to make sure that all of your concerns are met from day one. The initial consultation is always free.. I was born and raised in the Richmond area, graduating from Lee Davis High school in 1981. After high school, I enlisted in the United States Air Force and later returned to the Richmond area to get my Bachelor of Science degree from Virginia Commonwealth University. I graduated from the University of Richmond School of Law in 2001..

I love the outdoors, exercising, playing tennis, golf, cooking, dancing, biking, and my hunting dogs.  Oh, and my family!  The cooking has made it difficult to exercise like I used to since I am now in the "Clydesdale Division" in my races.. I am also probably the only conservative consumer advocate in the country.  I just believe in the free market system.  If we permit businesses and corporations to cheat, without being punished by a jury or a court, then the fraud will continue. Success in business will be the result of being the best liar or cheat or who has the most power in Washington DC, rather than success being the result of providing the best service, or product,  or providing the product at the best price.

I have spent the last 43 years in a trying cases in Virginia and neighboring jurisdictions.   My practice was mostly criminal and insurance defense work for 20years and for the last 23 years it has been mostly representing plainitiffs in personal injury cases.  I have tried almost every conceivable personal injury case.  My results have earned me recognition as a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, a Fellow of the Virignia Law Foundation, and a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and numerous other Bar Associations.  I am presently the President of the Virginia State Bar, the mandatory Bar Association in Virginia with 45,000 members.  My firm is a small personl injury litigation firm consisting of Len Paris, Keith Marcus, and me.  We have over 100 years experience and an experienced staff to offer our clients.

I am a Past-President of the Virginia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Richmond School of Law.

I have over twenty-five years of experience as an attorney, handling insurance defense, premise liability, automobile accidents, personal injury, workers compensation and commercial matters.  I have been licensed to practice law in four states, including Virginia and Pennsylvania.   I also act as a Guardian ad Litem for children in Virginia.   I have a variety of litigation experience that gives me an unique perspective on cases and situations.

I have been in practice since 2001 and I have always focused on domestic relations law.

I have been a personal injury attorney my entire career.  There are three reasons why I have been successful in the field:. (1) I work hard.  What you reap is what you sow.  If you don't put in the groundwork to do the job right, then the job won't be done right.. (2) I like new ideas.  A lot of attorneys have been handling cases the same way for their entire careers without questioning whether it was actually the best way to handle them.  It is easy for everyone to get into a routine in their job and repeat the same tasks over and over and attorneys are no different.  I do everything I can to avoid that and to handle my cases for my clients in a manner that makes insurance companies uncomfortable because it is not the "norm.". (3)  I'm a fairly simple person and I take pride in that.  You can see the same, repeated words used in a lot of attorney's advertisements on this website and others.  Everybody calls themselves dynamic, or passionate, or innovative, or so on.  Traits that sound impressive, but don't require any real support.  I don't speak or act that way in my personal life so I don't speak or act that way in my professional life.  Instead, I talk to all of my clients as normal people.  I think the worst mistake a lot of lawyers make is thinking that they need to act like a lawyer, or be somebody that they are not.  I've always found that the best way to communicate is to be yourself and allow the other person to do the same.  That sort of communication results in both people being on the same page, which allows them to work toward the same goal together.

I graduated from University of South Florida with two Bachelor of Arts degrees, one in English Literature, and the other in Interdisciplinary Social Science.  My original thesis was accepted in 2006 entitled, "The Role of the Mitigation Expert for the Defense in the Penalty Phase of Capital Sentencing." Additionally, my honors thesis was accepted in 2006 entitled, "Deep in the Forest There Lies a Green Room:  An Examination of Audience Engagement in Three of Shakespeare’s Festive Comedies and Romances."  I am a long term resident of Northern Virginia, and returned to the area to complete my graduate study at George Mason University School of Law, where I participated in the American Consitutional Society.. I joined the McGlone Law Firm as an associate in 2011, and became partner in the Fall of 2014, changing the firm name to that of McGlone & Jehlen.  I then joined Surovell Isaacs & Levy, PLC to expand my criminal practice and begin learning how to work on domestic law cases. I practice in traffic and criminal defense litigation, specializing in DUI/DWI defense and Reckless Driving defense.. I was a proud partner at Blanch & Hart PLLC (f/k/a Zinicola Blanch Overand & Hart PLLC) which served a wide variety of criminal defense issues including bench trials, jury trials, and appelate work.  I also work the crossover cases into domestic violence and family law for both victim's representation and those falsely accused of domestic violence.  I worked on protective orders, custody, and divorce.. Since moving to the Richmond area with my family, I have joined the firm of Melone Hatley specializing in family law with cross over areras of juvenile, criminal, and protective order cases. I travel within Chesterfield, Henrico, and the Metro-Richmond Area.. In addition to my work at the firm, I offer my services to the Mid-Atlantic Innocence Project, the Hope for the Warrior Project, and Legal Services of Northern Virginia as a pro bono attorney for victims of domestic assault pusuing protective orders.  I believe in the protection of constitutional rights for every individual, and the protection of civil liberties for all.. Finally, I support our troops at home and abroad.

I focus my practice on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims. I also handles personal injury matters. When working with clients in SSDI and SSI cases, I can assist with everything from filing the initial application to going through the appeals process, including representing clients in hearings before administrative law judges.

I economically and efficiently help clients resolve the issues associated with the dissolution of their marriage.  This effort takes a fundamental understanding of finances, good trial lawyer skills and the ability to navigate a highly charged emotional playing field.
