About

For Everett Lupton, every case is about standing up for people whose lives have been changed by someone else’s negligence. He believes that preparation, courtroom experience, and a willingness to take a case to trial are often what lead to the strongest outcomes for injured clients.

Throughout his legal career, Everett has focused on representing individuals and families in serious personal injury and wrongful death cases in both Virginia and North Carolina. His practice spans litigation in state and federal courts, where he has built a reputation as a skilled trial lawyer who is prepared to advocate for clients each step of the way.

Everett has tried more than one hundred jury trials to verdict, handled countless bench trials, and represented clients through numerous mediations and arbitrations. His experience includes cases involving car accidents, tractor-trailer collisions, catastrophic injuries, slip-and-falls, animal attacks, and other negligence claims. HE also represents injured railroad employees in Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA) cases and maritime workers pursuing claims under the Jones Act and the Suits in Admiralty Act.

His dedication to trial advocacy has earned recognition throughout the legal community. Everett was named a Go-To Negligence Lawyer by Virginia Lawyers Weekly (2024 and 2025)and has been recognized as a Top Lawyer in Personal Injury by Coastal Virginia Magazine in 2015, 2024, and 2026.

Beyond the courtroom, Everett is committed to advancing the legal profession. He has authored multiple published articles on legal topics, spoken at continuing legal education (CLE) programs for fellow attorneys, served as an Adjunct Professor at Old Dominion University, and previously taught as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Tidewater Community College.

As a Tidewater native, Everett is proud to serve the communities where he was raised. When he is away from the office, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters, being outdoors, and working on his family’s farm in southern Virginia Beach.

Whether negotiating with insurance companies or presenting a case before a jury, Everett brings the same commitment to every client: thorough preparation, honest guidance, and relentless advocacy when it matters most.
