Nathan J.D. Veldhuis

Biography Overview

Nathan began his legal career while in law school interning for the late Honorable B. Waugh Crigler, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Virginia. Nathan has spent his entire career representing people and/or family members and friends of individuals who have been injured or killed through no fault of their own. Nathan has worked on cases from “fender benders” to major catastrophic events caused by the negligence of other people, corporations, or the state and/or federal government. His compassion for his clients gives Nathan a better understanding of those who have experienced, or are experiencing, difficulties due to their injuries. This compassion and understanding, mixed with Nathan’s integrity and passion for fairness, is evident when counseling clients, working tirelessly to ensure the best outcome.
 

As a result of Nathan’s unique expertise in aggressively prosecuting personal injury cases and the extreme procedural complexities of the federal court system, cases involving massive corporations, or state or federal governments are often referred to him by other attorneys and he has been able to recover significant compensation for those clients.
