The Firm is skilled at handling such cases and does so in state and federal courts in port cities all over the country. The Firm also represents clients who were injured in auto, truck and motorcycle collisions or by medical negligence and their families if the incident caused them to lose a loved one. Waters Law extensively represents labor unions and their members and also represents employees with regard to employment law issues. Deborah Waters routinely practices before federal district courts, U.S. Department of Labor, National Labor Relations Board, Virginia Employment Commission, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Virginia Dept. of Dispute Resolution.
