About Slaughter & Lupton Law
No one plans to hire a personal injury lawyer. But when a severe accident or the sudden loss of a loved one upends your life, who is standing in your corner can make all the difference.
Slaughter & Lupton Law is a dedicated team of trial attorneys, paralegals, and legal professionals serving injured individuals and grieving families throughout Hampton Roads and North Carolina. Our core mission is simple: to level the playing field so that everyday people are not taken advantage of by powerful insurance companies.
That commitment to protecting our clients drives our disciplined, trial-ready approach to handling every case we take on. When the stakes are at their highest, you can depend on us for straightforward advice, unwavering support, and a legal team that is prepared to stand firmly by your side.
Our Story: Trial Lawyers Rooted in Service
The foundation of our firm is built on a deep commitment to serving others. Partner Robert C. Slaughter came to personal injury law following a distinguished career in public service, having served as a Chief Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney and a U.S. Army Colonel and Bronze Star recipient for service in Iraq. Over the past 40 years, he has tried more than 100 jury trials and earned active law licenses in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
In 2021, Robert partnered with Everett Lupton, an accomplished attorney with over 25 years of experience advocating for injured people. Alongside attorney David Moyer and attorney Nicole T. Sanzo, they have built a team backed by more than 100 years of combined legal experience. With over 300 jury trials and more than $100 million recovered for clients, our results embody Slaughter & Lupton Law‘s motto: The Power to Win, The Experience to Prove It.
Ultimately, our work is about more than courtroom victories. Our mission is rooted in the calling of Proverbs 31:8-9: to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Whether we are negotiating with an insurance company or presenting a case to a jury, that core principle drives us to be the strong, steady voice our clients need during life's most difficult moments.

Our Commitment to Virginia Beach & the Communities We Serve
Our office on Virginia Beach Boulevard places us in the heart of the community we serve. From here, we represent clients in Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and across the Peninsula, along with families throughout northeastern North Carolina and the Outer Banks. Because our firm is licensed in both states, a crash on the other side of the state line does not have to mean starting over with a new law firm.
We maintain 24/7 availability and offer virtual meetings so you can speak with us directly from your home. If you are more comfortable communicating in Spanish, our bilingual staff is ready to assist you.
Hampton Roads has deep military roots, and so does our team. Partner Robert Slaughter served as a U.S. Army Colonel and earned the Bronze Star. We also proudly employ veterans like Israel "Izzy," a former U.S. Air Force aeromedical evacuation technician.
Beyond our caseload, our legal assistant Julia and other staff members volunteer with local animal rescue organizations and support environmental conservation. Robert has also carried his advocacy overseas through humanitarian work in Rwanda and Haiti.
