STAN M. DOERRER, ESQ.

For more than twenty years, Stan M. Doerrer has represented individuals, families, and businesses in complex litigation in state and federal courts.

His practice today focuses primarily on serious personal injury and wrongful death cases, including car and motorcycle crashes, trucking collisions, pedestrian injuries, and premises liability claims, while continuing to represent clients in select business litigation, civil rights, and criminal defense matters.

Stan founded the Law Office of Stan M. Doerrer because he wanted the freedom to choose the cases he believed in and to represent clients the way they deserved to be represented. Unlike many high-volume law firms, Stan personally handles every case. Clients are not handed off to layers of case managers, intake specialists, or junior attorneys. When clients have questions about their case, they speak directly with Stan.

Over the course of his career, Stan has handled litigation ranging from individual injury claims to complex federal court cases and class actions. He has represented victims of serious personal injury and wrongful death and has helped recover millions of dollars for clients. He has also served in leadership roles in significant class action litigation, including serving as co-lead counsel in litigation involving online poker players seeking recovery of misappropriated funds and as lead counsel in an ERISA class action that resulted in a virtually complete recovery for affected class members.

This broad litigation background gives Stan a perspective that is uncommon among many personal injury attorneys. He has litigated complex disputes in both state and federal courts, handled business and commercial litigation, represented clients in civil rights matters, and navigated cases involving sophisticated legal and factual issues. That experience allows him to evaluate cases strategically and prepare them for trial when necessary.

Stan is admitted to practice in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia, and regularly appears in both state and federal courts throughout the region, including the United States District Courts for the Eastern District of Virginia, Western District of Virginia, District of Maryland, and District of Columbia.

Outside the office, Stan is an active motorcycle rider who regularly attends motorcycle events throughout Northern Virginia. As a rider himself, he understands the unique risks motorcyclists face on the road and is particularly passionate about representing injured riders and their families.

Before entering the legal profession, Stan worked as a management consultant. He graduated cum laude from Colorado College with a degree in Economics and earned his Juris Doctor with Honors from The George Washington University Law School. While in law school, he completed an internship with the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division and served as an Articles Editor for the American Intellectual Property Law Association Quarterly Journal.

In 2015, Stan was selected as a Rising Star, an honor recognizing outstanding attorneys who are either age 40 or younger or have been in practice for ten years or less.
