Lawton Legal Practice was founded to be more than just a law firm—it is a mission-driven practice rooted in purpose, perseverance, and a deep respect for the human story behind every case. Based in the Hampton Roads community where Attorney Maxie Lawton was born and raised, the firm stands as a beacon of hope and strength for individuals and families navigating life after trauma, injury, or injustice.
At Lawton Legal Practice, we fight for the injured with unwavering resilience and dedication. Our commitment is simple yet profound: fierce advocacy, personal attention, and real results—because every client matters, and every story deserves justice.
Our core values guide every aspect of our work:
Led by former Army Ranger and trial attorney Maxie Lawton, Lawton Legal Practice combines battlefield grit with courtroom precision. Before launching the firm, Maxie represented Fortune 500 companies at one of the nation’s top employment law firms. Today, he channels that same elite-level advocacy into fighting for the everyday people of Virginia.
Here, the mission is personal. The service is relentless. And justice is always the goal.
