Meet Virginia Beach Personal Injury Attorney Carlton F. Bennett: Decades of Experience. A Reputation Built on Results.
Carlton Bennett didn’t make a name for himself with ads or gimmicks. He built his reputation case by case, by showing up for the people no one else would. When families came to him with nursing home injuries, most lawyers turned them away. Carlton didn’t. He listened, looked deeper, and learned how to hold care facilities accountable in ways that few attorneys knew how to do. He fought, even when the odds were long, because someone needed to.
Over the decades, Carlton earned a reputation as one of Virginia’s leading voices in nursing home and serious injury law. He still takes the cases that demand more—more time, more patience, more judgment. He’s recovered over $60 million for clients, but what matters most to him can’t be measured. It’s the moment a son finally understands what happened to his mother. It’s the day a nursing home admits what it tried to deny. It’s a family walking out of the courtroom with answers.
Because that’s what justice looks like when it’s done right.
