In representing you, you can be assured that your case is important to every member of our firm. We know that every client and every case is unique. You deserve to be represented by an attorney with the highest ethical standards, who will pursue your case with fairness, integrity and respect.
I joined Allred Bacon Halfhill & Young in 2009 (of counsel) with more than 25 years experience as a seasoned trial lawyer. Since 1988, I have devoted my practice to representing injured parties.
I began my legal career as an Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney in Arlington, Virginia, and gained valuable trial experience with a firm specializing in insurance defense litigation. As Plaintiff’s counsel, I have handled numerous general liability and wrongful death matters, complex medical malpractice cases, including catastrophic birth injury, traumatic brain injury, obstetrical malpractice, psychiatric malpractice involving suicide, plastic and reconstructive surgery, infectious diseases, pharmacology, cardiac misdiagnoses, elevator and airplane accidents, construction defect matters, and intellectual property litigation involving misappropriation of trade secrets and proprietary information, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, copyright infringement, conspiracy, fraud, and violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
In addition to my legal practice, I was an adjunct professor at The International School of Law and The George Mason University School of Law, teaching forensic evidence and directing the legal intern program. I was also an instructor at the Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Academy. I was a founding member and past President of The George Mason American Inns of Court at The George Mason University School of Law.
I have earned a distinction among my peers for my knowledge of evidence and expert testimony. I am a co-author of Virginia Objections at Trial, the trial lawyer’s handbook for the law of evidence in Virginia. I lecture frequently in Virginia on the topics of expert testimony, the preparation and use of evidence at trial, and have been a testifying expert witness in professional negligence matters.
I received Martindale-Hubbell’s highest peer-reviewed rating of AV, have been named as a “Super Lawyer” and have been recognized as a Top Lawyer by Northern Virginia Magazine. In 2015, I was inducted into The National Trial Lawyers Top 100, Civil Plaintiff section. My passion for technology for lawyers finds me lecturing state-wide on the use of the iPad for Lawyers in conjunction with the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association.
For the past fourteen years, I have been a member of the distinguished faculty at the National Trial Advocacy College at the University of Virginia, a nationally – recognized program for trial attorneys. In 2015, along with US District Court Judge Robert Conrad, I was honored as a recipient of the Brennan Award established in 1987 in honor of Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., United States Supreme Court. Honorees are selected on the basis of their outstanding skills as trial lawyers and members of the judiciary, their invaluable contributions to the UVA Trial Advocacy College and to the legal profession.

I messaged Mr. Curtis through Avvo, and he called in minutes. He referred me to a lawyer that was in a more appropriate specialty for my situation and truly cared even though we never met in person. I was impressed with his timeless and integrity and would recommend him if you need his help.
"Mr. Curtis is extraordinarily professional and knowledgeable. He has an extensive understanding of medical malpractice matters and has the patience and the compassion to help clients through this very difficult subject. I highly recommend him."
