Lynchburg, VA Attorney
Contact Me Today

I am an aggressive creative, trial attorney with 27 years experience representing individuals and companies in various legal disputes including personal injury, product liability, insurance disputes, wrongful death, malpractice, divorce, construction disputes, and criminal matters ranging from murder and drug charges to speeding and drinking offenses. I often take and win cases that other attorneys have refused or declined, I will fully and fairly evaluate your case. If you want an attorney with whom you can communicate in plain English, give me a try. I only take cases with an intent to win them with my clients and I try to treat each client as both a customer and a friend. The following are some of the areas of Law in which I have significant experience:

Bankruptcy Law - At the Law office of Sid Kirstein we handle Chapter 7, 11 and 13 filings for individuals and businesses. We also represent creditors who may need to reposses their collateral or challenge a debt. We have handled any of these cases successfully; let us help you.

Business & Commercial Law - Let us help you set up your business and/or navigate your business through the myriad Local, State, and Federal regulations which can complicate any business or commercial transaction.

Civil Rights - Civil rights are among the most valuable aspects of living in the United States of America. Your rights are important, and if you feel the government or a citizen has violated your rights, let me help you stand up for yourself, and recover what you deserve.

Criminal Law - I have successfully handled all types of criminal charges from murders to speeding tickets over the last 27 years. If you have been charged with a criminal offense, you may be confused about the next step to take. You may be unfamiliar with the court system and have questions about what comes next. It is important to have an attorney on your side that will fight to protect your constitutional rights in any criminal proceeding. Do not wait until you are convicted to hire an experienced attorney to defend your rights.

Debtor/Creditor - Problems with unpaid bills and dealing with creditors can be very stressful. Let me help you evaluate your situation. I can help you figure a way out of the difficult spot you have found yourself in.

Insurance Law - Many insurance companies will try to rush you to a settlement, and get you to settle for less than what you are entitled to. You may not know what you can receive, or how to get all of it. I can help you evaluate what you are entitled to claim, and help you get what you deserve.

Legal Malpractice - Legal matters are some of the most serious things in a person’s life. If they are mishandled, they can affect everything in your life. Let me help you decide if you are a victim of bad or negligent lawyering, and help you recover if you are.

Litigation & Appeals - I have been a trial attorney at the trial and appellate levels in both state and federal courts for the last 27 years. I have successfully pursued and defended charges throughout the state of Virginia and in other states. I stand ready to be your advocate, in the courtroom, if necessary. When you find yourself facing any kind of trial, civil or criminal, I can help you stand up for your rights.

Medical Malpractice - When someone has been injured by the negligence of a medical professional, I will represent them in a suit against the doctor, hospital, laboratory, or nursing home that caused the injury. I will fight to obtain the financial recovery you deserve for your injuries and for your pain and suffering.

Motor Vehicle Accidents, Plaintiff - Auto accidents are by far the most common source of personal injury claims. Many individuals are injured in car crashes every day, sometimes suffering broken bones, whiplash, or other injury. If you believe another driver's negligence, carelessness, or recklessness caused your accident, you may be able to recover money for your injuries. Let me help you get what you need to recover.

Personal Injury, Plaintiff - I handle personal injury claims resulting from all types of injuries. Personal injury claims are based on the negligence, carelessness, or recklessness of another person or business entity, and can result from things like motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, trip and falls, defective products, or unsafe conditions on a person or business’ property. I can help you evaluate your claim, and recover what you are entitled to.

Products Liability Law - We like to think that the things we buy and the food we eat are safe, but this is not always true. Things we buy and consume can injure us. When a product has injured you or a loved one, you need representation from an attorney who understands the mechanics involved in proving your case.

Professional Malpractice Law - We place our confidence in professional every day, trusting that we can rely on them and their services. Most professionals are just that – professional, and trustworthy. But many people are harmed or injured by the negligence or actions of other professionals. If the action or inaction of a professional has hurt you or a loved one, I can help you.

Wills - What do you want to happen to your assets and valuables after you pass away? A will is a way for a person to plan, and to legally ensure, what happens to their assets after they pass. Let me guide you through this sensitive time, and help you make sure your wishes are known and followed.

Construction Disputes - I have successfully handled the claims of homeowners and builders in many cases over the last 27 years. If you are currently in such a dispute, let me help you understand your rights and recover everything to which you are entitled.

Wrongful Death - I have handled numerous Wrongful Death cases obtaining reasonable settlements and/or jury verdicts for my clients over the last 27 years. If you have lost a loved one due to the negligence of another, please call so we can discuss how I can help.

Contact me today for an initial consultation. We will sit down together and discuss the facts of your case. I will give you an honest evaluation of what I believe you can expect, from your case and from the courts. I will tell you, in plain language, what I can do for you as your Attorney.
