About

Cannella & O'Neal is a personal injury law firm serving Richmond, Virginia and throughout the state, focused on representing individuals injured through the negligence of others. With a 4.9 Google rating based on over 200 client reviews, the firm brings more than 40 years of trial-tested experience to its practice, having successfully handled over 10,000 personal injury cases.

Founded by president Stephen "Steve" Cannella, the firm was built on a commitment to achieving justice and treating clients with professional dignity and compassion. The firm's core principle remains unchanged: representing the rights of the injured with personal, passionate, and aggressive determination. Cannella & O'Neal deliberately avoids representing large corporations or working for the insurance industry, choosing instead to advocate exclusively for individuals and families harmed by negligent conduct.

The firm handles a broad spectrum of personal injury matters. These include serious automobile accidents, semi-truck and commercial vehicle collisions, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian and bicycle injuries, and wrongful death cases. The firm also represents clients injured by drunk drivers, distracted drivers, Uber and Lyft accidents, and bus accidents. Beyond traffic-related claims, Cannella & O'Neal takes cases involving catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, paralysis, and severe neck and back injuries. The firm further represents clients in slip and fall accidents, dog bite claims, nursing home negligence and abuse cases, and medical malpractice involving plastic surgery and burn injuries.

Recognizing that injury victims often face immediate financial and emotional stress, Cannella & O'Neal operates on a contingency fee basis: there is no legal fee unless the firm wins your case. The firm will come to clients rather than requiring them to travel to an office, a practical accommodation for those managing serious injuries. Direct access to experienced trial attorneys is available by phone at (804) 780-1200 for a free case review.

The firm is located at Bank of America Building, 1111 East Main Street, Suite 1900, Richmond, VA 23219. Throughout four decades of practice, Cannella & O'Neal has developed deep knowledge of Virginia personal injury law and courtroom experience. The firm's attorneys function not only as legal advocates and counselors but also as committed allies for injured clients navigating the complex process of seeking justice and fair compensation.
