About Chad
Biography
Accessible. Aggressive. Trusted. These are only but a few characteristics that describe Chad's approach. He handles nearly all types of personal injury cases, including automobile accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall, and dog bite cases.
Since graduating from West Virginia University College of Law, Chad Mooney has engaged in a broad litigation practice. He has represented clients in many trial courts across Virginia and the Supreme Court of Virginia, as well as the United States District and Bankruptcy Courts for the Eastern and Western District and the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.
As part of his practice, he represents individuals and local and regional businesses. He assists clients with assessment, management, and, if necessary, litigation of issues, personal injury claims and commercial disputes. Chad advises individual and business clients of their rights prior to and during a lawsuit, with an eye towards the financial impact and risks of litigation. Although he employs strategies to resolve disputes peacefully, not all disputes can be resolved without court intervention. In those instances, Chad aggressively fights for his clients.
Chad also enjoys time with his three daughters.
