Richard James Serpe

While walking one evening in my own neighborhood, I was attacked by a dog. The resulting physical injuries were traumatic enough, but the psychological trauma in some ways felt worse — fear of walking alone in my own community, fear of encountering the belligerent dog owner who had cussed me out and... neglected to render aid. A few days later I Googled “dog bite attorney Hampton Roads” and Attorney Richard Serpe’s website popped up on my screen, offering a free consultation with their team. I filled out the online form, taking the time to type out my experience in detail. When Dawn, Mr. Serpe’s paralegal, contacted me later that day, I told her it had been cathartic to share my story, even if I didn’t have a case. She had already spoken to Mr. Serpe and they believed I did. In the ensuing months, Dawn always provided a listening ear and regular updates on my case. Mr. Serpe was able to settle with the dog owner’s insurance company for more than I’d imagined. If you have found yourself in a similar situation, I encourage you to reach out to the Law Offices of Richard J. Serpe.

My 7-year-old daughter was outside playing with friends in front of our home when she was viciously attacked by our neighbor’s Rottweiler. The Rottweiler dug a hole under the fence, escaped, and ran straight towards the children. The dog ended up attacking my daughter by the calf, pulling her to the... ground and dragging her several feet before letting go. When she arrived at the hospital, she was treated for two large lacerations and numerous small bites and puncture wounds before being transferred to CHKD where she had to have surgery. My lawyer, Richard Serpe, and his staff did a thorough investigation into the dog owner, and were able to secure a settlement for my daughter. The settlement allowed us to pay her medical bills, as well as set aside funds for her future education. I am so glad I decided to contact Richard Serpe. Even though his office was 4 hours away, he and his staff handled all of the complicated legal issues so that I could focus on my daughter’s health and healing. If you’ve been hurt because someone else was careless, I highly recommend you call Richard Serpe no matter where you are in Virginia. THANK YOU! [

When I passed a woman walking her dogs, I had no idea the dogs would lunge at me. The attack left me with serious injuries on my face and arm. I still have the scars today. Thankfully, I reached out to Richard Serpe, who handled everything for me. The whole process was much easier than I ever expecte...d, and his entire team was so easy to work with. Thanks to them, I got a settlement beyond anything I could have expected. I would like to thank Mr. Serpe and his entire staff, specially Meg Cudden who went out of her way to help me numerous times throughout my case.
