A Career Built on Advocacy and Ethics
With 34 years in practice, attorney Liz West is best known for her aggressive representation of clients, especially those facing life-altering personal injuries, while maintaining a high standard of professionalism and ethics in all her interactions.
When asked why she chose personal injury law, Liz shared:
“I wanted to use my courtroom skills to help everyday people.”
That philosophy has guided her entire legal career. For Liz, it’s not about easy wins or high-profile headlines—it’s about doing right by clients who are often navigating the most difficult moments of their lives.
Fighting the Tough Cases
Liz takes pride in the complex, high-stakes cases that involve significant injuries and complicated liability issues where others may hesitate.
“Any decent lawyer can resolve a great case,” she said. “A good lawyer can resolve a difficult case.”

A Leader With Heart
What sets Liz apart isn’t just her legal knowledge—it’s her empathy for clients and unwavering ethical standards. She has focused her entire career on one area of law, giving her unmatched depth and experience in personal injury litigation.
Despite her professional accomplishments, Liz also believes in maintaining balance and perspective.
“I choose to donate my time to non-law related groups in order to be a more well-rounded and interesting human,” she told Virginia Lawyers Weekly.
This community-oriented mindset underscores Liz’s belief that the best lawyers are also compassionate, grounded, and connected to the world beyond the courtroom.

Looking Ahead to 2026
As she looks toward the future, Liz notes the growing trend of national “chain” law firms buying out smaller practices, as well as the increasing role of AI in legal administrative tasks. Her focus remains on adapting while never losing sight of the personal touch that defines her work.
We are incredibly proud to have Liz West as a leader at Tronfeld West & Durrett—and even prouder that others across Virginia continue to recognize her as one of the very best in the profession.
