Background

About Robert Donnelly

A founding member of the law firm of Goodman Allen Donnelly, I've focused my career on trial advocacy by defending physicians, hospitals and other health care professionals sued for medical malpractice in Virginia Courts for over 25 years. In the course of representing hundreds of health care providers, I've tried more than 50 jury trials to verdict. My trial experience has been consistently demonstrated, achieving at least one of the "Top Ten Defense Verdicts" in Medical Malpractice each year since 2005 as reported by Virginia Lawyers Weekly. In a single calendar year I took six high exposure cases to trial, achieving five of only sixteen statewide reported “Million Dollar Med Mal Defense Verdicts”. My success, both in and out of the courtroom, has earned recognition in Best Lawyers in America® for Medical Malpractice Defense; US News and World Report and Best Lawyers Magazines, Virginia's “Legal Elite” in civil litigation; Virginia Business Magazine and as a “Virginia Super Lawyer” in Medical Malpractice Defense; Law and Politics and Virginia Super Lawyers Magazines. Frequently invited to lecture on health care liability issues, I am a Fellow in the Litigation Counsel of America, a national trial lawyer honorary society.
