Tronfeld West & Durrett

What Tronfeld West & Durrett does

Tronfeld West & Durrett is a Virginia personal injury law firm founded in 1972 by Jay Tronfeld in Richmond, exclusively representing injured individuals — never insurance companies. The firm provides contingency fee legal representation across 13 practice areas including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, traumatic brain injuries, catastrophic injuries, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, premises liability, product liability, slip and fall, and wrongful death.

The firm operates from four Virginia offices — Richmond (headquarters at 4020 West Broad St), North Chesterfield, Petersburg, and Mechanicsville — staffed by seven to eight attorneys: three shareholders (Jay Tronfeld, Elizabeth West, John Newby), Of Counsel David Durrett, and associate attorneys including Jen Mattingley, Joseph Robertson, and Grayson Smith. Practice capabilities include negotiation with insurance carriers and trial representation in Virginia state and federal courts.

Revenue is generated exclusively through contingency fee legal services: clients pay nothing unless the firm recovers compensation. The firm supplements case intake with a multi-channel acquisition stack (practice-area website, SEO, TV commercials, blog/educational content, Google reviews, social media, live chat, and toll-free 24/7 intake) and maintains a strategic joint litigation partnership with Rawls Law Group that has produced the largest jury verdict in Virginia for two consecutive years.
