About Edwin
Biography
Virginia and North Carolina attorney Ed Booth focuses on personal injury law, bringing clients peace of mind with his extensive legal skills. Since earning his law degree from the T.C. Williams School of Law at the University of Richmond in 2004, Ed’s focus has shifted from his earlier career in criminal law—where he served as a Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney—to personal injury cases. Raised in North Carolina and later settling in Norfolk, Ed cherishes his longstanding connection to Tidewater, Virginia. He applies his proficiency to a wide range of personal injury matters, such as vehicle accidents and medical malpractice, guiding clients through potentially overwhelming proceedings. Revered for his courtroom prowess, Ed’s skillful use of trial technology, including advanced applications like TrialPad, enhances his capacity to persuade juries and secure the best results for his clients. Driven by a desire to improve his clients’ lives, Ed is committed to obtaining favorable settlements and verdicts that bring meaningful relief.

Accident Case Lawyer Review
As the client of Mr. Booth, I can say that he went above and beyond for me and my case. Even though I was the victim of my case, I was still unsure of the outcome and extremely nervous of what will become of it. The biggest thing I appreciated from him was his communication and preparation for my cas...

"I endorse Ed for his ability and skills in the field of personal injury and medical malpractice law. Ed is a competent and highly qualified attorney who focuses on getting the best results for his clients."
"I endorse Ed. He is a highly skilled litigator. The proof is in the proverbial pudding - he obtained a $3.5 million jury verdict on behalf of a client (with the assistance of co-counsel). To secure a verdict of that size requires impressive legal talent. Ed has this talent in spades."
"I enthusiastically endorse Ed. He is a top-notch litigator with a focus on client-first representation. He is one of the best lawyers I know."
"Ed is fantastic advocate for his clients. I had the pleasure of prosecuting a case where he was defense counsel. My first impression was not to agree to any time specific plea agreement due to the facts of the case. However, Ed was extremely effective in informing me about the virtues of his client and other facts in the case that I was not aware of. By the time we were done I agreed with Ed's initial plea offer, which treated his client extremely well in the end. Ed is sharp, approachable, and deeply committed to his craft. You can't go wrong with him on your side."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Ed gives clients the attention they need and deserve. Not all lawyers treat their client's case with the same dedication. I highly recommend Ed's services."
"Edwin is one of the sharpest lawyers out there! If I have a question, he usually has the answer. I highly recommend Edwin to anyone with a legal need."
"I endorse Edwin. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"Ed and I worked many cases when he was a prosecutor in Virginia Beach. He was always fair in handling difficult cases, and in most cases would try to negotiate a reasonable disposition."
"I endorse this lawyer. Our law firm benefits from his experience as a former prosecutor."
"I have known Mr. Booth for several years. He was criminal defense attorney when I was a Prosecutor in Va Beach and he was always knowledgable, trustworthy, and well-prepared. He then became a Prosecutor and I became a defense attorney. We have had several cases against each other over the years. Mr. Booth was /is always a pleasure to work with. He has the experience, and reputation that you want in a defense attorney. Mr. Booth is an excellent trial attorney and he has my endorsement!"
"I endorse Edwin (Ed) Booth wholeheartedly. Ed and I were coworkers at the Virginia Beach Commonwealth Attorney's Office, and had cases against each other while he was with the Public Defender. Ed's attention to detail and calm demeanor makes him a very effective advocate for his clients, and he is well liked and respected in our local legal community. His work is top-notch and I have previously and will continue to refer clients to him."
