Alan B. Croft

For over 40 years Alan Croft has practiced exclusively as a litigator with a reputation as an aggressive and thorough trial attorney. Early in his career he served as a criminal prosecutor for the Commonwealth of Virginia and since that time has been involved in virtually all areas of civil and criminal litigation. More particularly, his practice has focused on complex commercial and insurance matters for both U.S. and foreign clients, complex construction litigation, as well as various tort and personal injury claims. With this background, he is able to arrive at a strategy that will result in a successful resolution of clients’ legal matters.

Alan has served as lead counsel in more than 100 trials in state and federal courts throughout the United States as well as hearings before arbitral tribunals. One such notable matter was an environmental coverage dispute against a major international corporation which was tried before a California jury for three months and resulted in a defense verdict that saved the firm’s insurer clients over $100 million. Another significant case involved the representation of London Market Insurers in a complex coverage dispute against a Fortune 100 company. The matter was tried for over two months in Missouri and resulted in a favorable judgment avoiding $70 million of potential liabilities. In the area of tort litigation, he successfully represented clients in two matters where the jury returned verdicts of $12.5 million and $2 million respectively.

In addition to his years as a trial attorney, Alan also draws upon his experiences as a patent attorney and as the president of a real estate development firm, which have benefited him in his handling of complex technical and commercial issues.
