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..

Professional estate administration is able to relieve your precious loved ones from bureaucratic procedures when they need it the most.

As an estate administration attorney, it is my goal to do my utmost so that every client can feel comfort and confidence that their estate plan will be followed precisely and timely.

I served in the Navy on active duty and in the Reserves for 20 years.  I am very interested in helping veterans realize the goal of starting a business or buying a franchise.  There are quite a few challenges a veteran may face in getting set up in a business, but I think it is a very viable option that veterans do not consider enough.  There are many issues, from forming the proper entity to financing to industry-specific regulations, that one must become aware of to be successful in launching a business.

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.
