Charles K. "Chuck" Seyfarth

A formidable and dedicated defense attorney

Our company faced a significant product liability class action in Virginia, and the board was understandably anxious. We engaged Chuck Seyfarth at O'Hagan Meyer, and his guidance was immediately reassuring. His deep focus on mass tort and class action defense for defendants was evident from our first strategy session. Chuck has a sharp, analytical mind, and he meticulously deconstructed the plaintiffs' claims, identifying weaknesses we hadn't considered. His recognition as a Lawyer of the Year in this specific field wasn't just a title; it translated into a pragmatic and aggressive defense strategy that kept us several steps ahead. He was particularly adept at managing the complex discovery process, which was overwhelming in scope. The case was resolved favorably through a negotiated settlement that protected our interests far better than we had hoped. The only minor critique would be that during the most intense phases, response times to non-urgent emails could occasionally stretch to a day or two, but his team was always available as a backup. For any Virginia business confronting a high-stakes class action, Chuck Seyfarth provides exceptional, battle-tested counsel.
