Everett Lupton, attorney and co-founder of Slaughter & Lupton Law Firm, has been recognized by Virginia Lawyers Weekly as one of its “Go-To Lawyers for Negligence” for 2025. The annual list honors leading law practitioners across the state who demonstrate exceptional skill, professional integrity, and dedication to representing injured clients in complex civil cases.
Lupton’s selection places him among a select group of attorneys acknowledged by peers and the legal publication for their expertise in negligence law, courtroom experience, and commitment to advocacy. Virginia Lawyers Weekly’s “Go-To Lawyer” designation highlights attorneys who are frequently cited by colleagues as trusted resources in their respective fields and consistently uphold high standards of legal practice and client service.
With more than 25 years of experience, Everett Lupton has built his career representing individuals and families in personal injury and wrongful death cases throughout Virginia and North Carolina. His work has included litigation involving vehicular accidents, workplace injuries, and complex negligence claims.
Lupton’s approach emphasized trial readiness, transparency, and client communication, which are the very principles that have earned him the recognition, not only from Virginia Lawyers Weekly, but also an inclusion in America’s Top 100 Attorneys under the Lifetime Achievement category.
“This recognition is a reflection of the many clients who have trusted us with their cases,” said Everett Lupton, attorney and co-founder of Slaughter & Lupton Law Firm. “Every case we take represents someone who’s been hurt or had their life changed. Our job is to make sure their story is heard and that they get the justice they deserve. I’m grateful to my colleagues and the legal community for this acknowledgment, and to our clients for their continued confidence.”
Founded by partners Robert Slaughter and Everett Lupton, Slaughter & Lupton Law Firm has served communities in Virginia and North Carolina for decades, focusing mainly on car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and other personal injury-related cases.
Together, the partners bring more than 50 years of combined experience in personal injury litigation, and their firm is built on the belief that successful advocacy begins with compassion and preparation, helping clients navigate the legal process while ensuring they’re equipped to make informed decisions about their claims.
“Personal injury law is about more than verdicts or settlements; it’s about restoring stability to people’s lives after serious loss,” said Robert Slaughter, attorney and co-founder of the firm. “We’ve always approached our work from a place of empathy and persistence. Recognition like this reinforces the importance of standing up for those who might not otherwise have a voice in the legal system.”
Legal peers have noted that negligence law continues to evolve as courts interpret complex issues around liability, insurance, and public safety. Attorneys who specialize in this area must not only possess a strong understanding of state and federal statutes but also maintain a deep commitment to ethical representation and client welfare.
The Virginia Lawyers Weekly honor underscores that commitment within the broader legal community, spotlighting attorneys who consistently demonstrate integrity and professional leadership. For Lupton, the recognition serves as both a milestone and a reminder of the responsibility that comes with representing those affected by negligence.
As he reflected on the achievement, Lupton emphasized that awards, while appreciated, ultimately point back to the clients he serves. “We never lose sight of why we do this work,” he said. “Behind every case is a person or a family that needs help rebuilding their life. That’s what drives us.”
