REGAN ZAMBRI LONG PLLC PHOTO BY LAURIE DEWITT
Personal Injury, Medical Malpractice, Nursing Home Abuse Regan Zambri Long PLLC handles the full range of medical malpractice, construction accident, and personal injury matters. The nine attorneys on its roster boast a breadth of experience that establishes them as leaders in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. They demonstrate total confidence when taking on the most well-funded defendants, all while providing personalized attention to each client. “We are fighters,” noted President and Senior Partner Patrick M. Regan. “We have handled nearly every type of medical malpractice and injury claim imaginable and that provides our present and future clients with a solid foundation for success on each matter.” Regan Zambri Long has built a strong reputation for throwing its collective weight behind each and every case it brings—weight that is measured by its attorneys’ hundred-plus years of collective experience and impressive $500 million in verdicts and settlements. The successful litigation of hundreds of serious injury, malpractice and whistleblower cases have resulted in many record-setting verdicts and accolades for the firm, which has also appeared before appellate courts on countless occasions to argue matters of law. Over the course of its 23-year history, the firm’s partners and members have been recognized by the legal community and the media; in 2014 and again for 2020, Regan was named by Washington D.C. Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” for Medical Malpractice Law—Plaintiffs. The publication also named Senior Partner, VP and Founding Member Salvatore J. Zambri the 2020 “Lawyer of the Year” for Product Liability Litigation—Plaintiffs. In 2018, Regan successfully represented the family of Carol Glover, a woman who tragically died as a result of smoke inhalation in the Metro Yellow Line fire in January 2015. In another case, Regan obtained a $15 million recovery representing the family of a 35-yearold man who was crushed to death by a dump truck operating with a defective back-up alarm. He also secured $17 million in a confidential settlement in a defective product and injury case—one of the largest cash settlements in the District of Columbia.

“We are often asked what good will the money do,” Regan said. “No amount can ever replace a loved one or turn back time. But the compensation we secure helps provide a measure of closure and mitigates financial hardships. In the aftermath of a tragedy we aim to help our clients live their fullest-possible lives.” The firm also helps clients and their families recover from car accidents, traumatic brain injury, birth injury and nursing-home abuse. Indeed, the list of matters the firm litigates is lengthy. But Regan said there is a common thread woven throughout, which reminds every lawyer and staff member of the firm’s mission of securing justice for those who have suffered. “Everything we do is about seeking accountability from the people, corporations, systems or structures that have caused our clients harm,” he said. “That commitment is reflected in the results we achieve on behalf of our clients.”

► Reed Smith Law Firm: Grayson
P. Hanes (Eminent Doman and Condemnation Law; Litigation – Real Estate; Litigation – Land use and Zoning, 1989 Real Estate Law) investigated on behalf of Jeff C. McKay (D-Lee), the front-runner in the Democratic race for board chair of Fairfax County, VA. McKay was accused of using his political position to receive favors after a memo was anonymously circulated amongst the members of the Fairfax County board of supervisors and the county attorney. The memo alleged McKay obtained his fivebedroom home through a quid pro quo with local developers. After Hanes sent his findings to the board members, he publicly declared that the original memo was the product of “a political hack job” and should be rejected, according to The Washington Post.
► Joseph, Greenwald & Laake, PA:
Timothy F. Maloney (Appellate Practice, Employment Law – Management; Employment Law – Individuals, 2020 Appellate Practice), a former member of Maryland’s House of Delegates, is using his expertise to help the family of 19-year-old Anton Black, a young African-American man who died in police custody last September. Black, who was outside his family’s home in a town on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, was killed after an 11-minute encounter with three police officers. In June, the family’s legal team alleged that the police body-camera footage shown to Caroline County’s NAACP branch president was altered. Eastern Shore officials have since denied the allegations and still do not have plans to pursue criminal charges against anyone involved in the incidents on the night of Black’s death.

Buta Biberaj (Criminal Defense: White-Collar; Criminal Defense: General Practice; DUI/DWI Defense, 2020 General Defense: General Practice) has been named the Democratic nominee in the Loudoun County commonwealth’s attorney race.

against the need for such regulation– citing incomplete scientific research. With anywhere between 4,000 and 5,000 types of PFAs, the best use of the EPAs time and efforts became a critical issue as legislators and advocates alike debated on whether or not a broad response would distract the EPA from the highest-risk chemicals. It is worth noting that no EPA spokespeople were present during the hearings in May in which Luxton testified. Luxton’s testimony held the view that “blanket bans” would be precarious. She noted that the EPA hasbegunclassifying PFAs as hazardous substances, an act that will empower the agency to determine which PFAs should be prioritized based on their potential danger to the public’s health. She also advised waiting for the EPA’s recommendation before deciding whether or not current environmental regulations are sufficient to deal with the issue. This will continue to be a hot-button issue for many Americans until both chambers of Congress get together and decide on an appropriate legislative response.
43 states have reported some form of PFA contamination
ISTOCK .COM/POSTERIORI
Compiled by Miles Hamberg
ew is Br isbois Bisga a rd & Smith LLP : Jane C. Luxton (Env i ron ment a l Law, 20 06) testified before the Environment and Climate Change Subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives during a hearing about regulations on poly- and perf luorinated chemical substances (PFA) in May. PFAs have been used to make things like food packaging, firefighting foam, and furniture for decades. The chemicals are linked to liver damage, impaired immune system function, and even some cancers. For lawmakers, PFAs have emerged as an area of serious concern as 43 states have reported some form of PFA contamination in their drinking water–potentially exposing 19 million Americans to drinking water contaminated with PFAs. Legislators deliberated on 13 different approaches to dealing with the toxic chemicals that are threatening the health of millions of Americans. Some argued for a sweeping response to contain and control the threat, while others cautioned

nne White, a pa rtner at Pasterna k & Fid is, P.C., has enjoyed many accol ades t h roug hout her diverse legal career: f rom reg u l a r selec t ion a s one of t he D.C. a re a’s top d ivorce l aw yers by Washingtonian a nd Bethesda Magazine to listing with Best Lawyers® since 2009. Now, she’s been selected as the 2020 “Lawyer of the Year” for Collaborative Law: Family Law for the D.C. region by Best Lawyers®. A f ter g radu at i ng magna cum laude from Duke and earning a master’s degree in political science from UNC Chapel Hill (she’s still an avid Blue Devils and Tar Heels fan), White earned her J.D. from Stanford Law School and spent the beginning of her career practicing litigation and international trade law. Later, after her divorce and transition to single parenthood, she pivoted to a practice area that was important to her personally: family law. “My outlook is that I need to pay close attention to what the client needs and how to get them to what I call their best self, then I help them maximize that,” says White. She likes to brief clients
on possible avenues and processes, but she favors collaboration, since, in her view, it best addresses the m a ny nu a nced f i n a nci a l, ch i ld development, and mental health challenges separation can present. Since her ca reer shift, W hite has excelled in her field; she is Chair of the D.C. Metro Protocols Committee—for which she helped develop a nd aut hor a 100-page manual on collaborative law as a thorough resource for collaborative lawyers—and she’s co-chair of the Ethics Committee of the Maryland Col l aborat ive Pract ice Cou nci l. She’s also a founding member of the Collaborative Practice Training Institute and was honored with the inaugural Member of the Year Award by the Collaborative Dispute Resolution Professionals (Maryland) for her work on the development of the D.C. Metro Area Protocols for Collaborative Divorce. In her free time, White indulges her f ree-s pi r ited side, t a k i ng hip-hop da nce classes (she was once a performing ballet dancer) and immersive Spanish-language courses, as well as spending time at the beaches of her home state, North Carolina.

UP TO THE CHALLENGE Regan Zambri Long Fights for Justice, Leading the Litigation for the 2016 Silver Spring Apartment Explosion

BY JUSTIN SMULISON
When corporate negligence causes a tragedy in the greater Washington, D.C., area, the victims often turn to the lawyers at Regan Zambri Long PLLC for their record of success and compassion for their clients. Three years ago, in August 2016, Catholic Charities was helping scores of Maryland residents who had been rendered homeless by a gas explosion at their Silver Spring apartment complex. The explosion and ensuing fire killed seven and injured many more. Wanting to ensure that the victims received the best legal representation, the nonprofit organization reached out to firm President and Senior Partner Patrick M. Regan. Regan, who had previously offered years of volunteer work for Catholic Charities, felt compelled to accept the case after meeting with the survivors. “These are some of the most humble, hardworking people I’ve ever had the honor of representing,” Regan said. “They are construction laborers, cooks, and minimumwage workers—many of whom work two jobs—and they have suffered a tremendous trauma. They are parents, too, and have lost
children in this tragedy, which was entirely preventable. Their trust in us is sacred, and we will be their voice in court.” Regan leads a team comprised of Senior Partner Victor Long and firm attorneys Christopher J. Regan and Emily Lagan, as well as other law firms, in the pending litigation against the landlord, property ow ner, a nd gas compa ny. T he t ria l is scheduled for December 2019 in Montgomery County Circuit Court. The case is reminiscent of others that helped the lawyers at Regan Zambri Long establish themselves as a go-to choice for people injured as a result of the carelessness of others. Over the course of its 23-year history, the firm has secured more than $500 million in verdicts and settlements on behalf of clients. Regan Zambri Long has also set legal precedent in matters concerning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The result of one recent wrongful death case had far-reaching implications across Maryland, after the firm had successfully fought to change state law to require the installation of bat ter y bac k up s ys tem s i n smoke detectors. This intimate knowledge of the
law helps establish the firm as a statewide leader in its practice areas. “This was a senseless tragedy that could have been prevented had either the gas company or the apartment management company followed the common-sense rules and regulations that keep all of us safe,” said Regan, who was named Lawyer of the Year for Medical Malpractice Law—Plaintiffs by Washington D.C. Best Lawyers, first in 2014, then again this year. Best Lawyers also named Senior Partner, Vice President and Founding Member Salvatore J. Zambri as this year’s Lawyer of the Year for Product Liability Litigation—Plaintiffs. Regan also noted the National Transportation Safety Board’s April 2019 conclusion that the probable cause of the explosion was “an unconnected vent line that allowed natural gas into the meter room where it […] ignited.” “The tenants had been making gas odor compla ints to ma nagement for months leading up to the explosion, but management didn’t act,” he added. “They gambled with the lives of the people who pa id them rent. We will hold them accountable for those choices.” WWW.BESTL AWYERS.COM

T
he attorneys at Kelly Byrnes & Danker recognize and understand the complexities of domestic relations law, as well as the emotional upheaval and disruption confronting a client who is faced with a pending marital dissolution and the myriad of unforeseen legal issues. With more than six decades of collective experience, partners John E. Byrnes, Sean P. Kelly, and Maureen E. Danker have each developed their own approach and style, but they are always focused on a common goal: keeping clients focused on the end result of the legal process instead of the issues that actually brought them to the firm.
“We’re invested in helping people move on—and move forward.” 3975 Fair Ridge Drive | Suite 275N | Fairfax, VA 22033 105 Loudoun St, SW | Office #4 | Leesburg, VA 20175
As Byrnes says, the firm offers a variety of ways for clients to resolve their family law disputes, including settlement negotiations, mediation, and contested litigation. “We also now offer collaborative law, which helps create and foster an atmosphere of communication and cooperation, as well as a way for clients to settle their divorce without the threat of litigation,” Byrnes notes. It’s just another way the firm helps clients find an approach that is specifically tailored to best fit their needs. It’s no surprise, then, that the firm is consistently ranked as a Tier 1 family law practice in Washington, D.C., by U.S. News - Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms”—and that its partners are repeatedly selected for inclusion in Best Lawyers and other peer-reviewed lists. “Regardless of how we work to resolve our clients’ matters, we want them to understand that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel,” says Byrnes.

Ken Trombly has relied on more than four decades of courtroom experience, thorough trial preparation and persuasive advocacy to secure multiple six and seven figure verdicts and settlements for his clients. He limits his practice to catastrophic injury and wrongful death litigation, with an emphasis on traumatic brain injuries, as well as other serious vehicular and premises liability cases. Ken is one of only nine D.C. based trial lawyers who are board certified in Civil Trial Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy—a designation recognized by the American Bar Association, based on documented jury trial experience, a written exam and peer reviews. Focusing his practice on cases involving complex medical and liability issues, he is regularly invited to speak before attorney groups on these topics, and is frequently consulted by other lawyers to serve as co-counsel in serious injury litigation. Ken Trombly has been included on both the Best Lawyers and Super Lawyers lists for more than a decade, and in 2018 and 2019 he was selected as one of D.C.’s “Top 100”, per the Super Lawyers rating system. If you or a loved one require skilled representation, call the firm for a no cost analysis of your situation.
