Kimberly A. Satterwhite

As a founding shareholder, Kim was a cornerstone of the firm’s medical malpractice defense practice, representing physicians, nurses, hospitals, and other healthcare providers across a broad spectrum of medical specialties. Renowned for her skill in high-exposure cases involving catastrophic injury or death—including particularly sensitive matters involving children—she became a go-to authority in defending obstetrical claims. Her work included defense verdicts in complex suits involving neurological birth injuries and shoulder dystocia.

Kim tried jury cases throughout Virginia in both state and federal courts, with the majority resulting in defense verdicts. Virginia Lawyers Weekly repeatedly recognized her achievements, listing her victories among the “Largest Defense Verdicts” and “Million-Dollar Defense Verdicts.”

Known for her effective use of courtroom technology, Kim’s presentations helped jurors understand complex medical issues with clarity. She also successfully upheld verdicts before the Virginia Supreme Court.

Now retired from active practice, Kim’s legacy of excellence, mentorship, and dedication to client service continues to shape the firm and the broader legal community.
