Loving vs. Virginia lawyer Bernard CohenPosted by: Doug in Taking Care of Family, Uncategorized
Bernie has been in the news lately, as one of his famous clients passed away. Mildred Loving, of the U. S. Supreme Court case “Loving vs. Virginia,” passed away. That case was one of Bernie’s many great triumphs. It was also a case I studied that year in Constitutional Law. Overturning the law that forbade Mr. Loving from marrying and living with his wife in the Commonwealth in the 1960s was made into a terrific movie, “The Lovings of Virginia.” I recommend that you see it, as it is about a law that existed not too long ago, that today most Americans would be surprised to know was enforced by jail and criminal prosecution. Overturning the miscegenation law forever united Bernie Cohen and the Lovings. We are all saddened by her passing and send condolences to her family. The Town of Herndon PARKING sign in front of our building includes the following symbols: 2. The Wheelchair: Handicapp accessible parking is nearby 3. The Book: The Library (the Herndon Fortnightly Public Library) is nearby 4. The Town Hall: The new (and old) Herndon Municipal Centers are nearby. (Not on the sign is the fact that Great Harvest Bakery is also nearby, and they, like Doug Landau, give free samples !)

Do lawyers wear nothing but black pinstripes and gray suits ?Posted by: Doug in UncategorizedAnyone who has seen Doug Landau teach, interact at the office or at Bar functions knows that the Herndon - Reston area trial lawyer does not stick to the somber, boring colors associated with his profession. The ABRAMS LANDAU personal injury trial attorney is shown here with Mrs. Rasmussen at the VTLA Annual Convention. Landau and his family had taken part in the charity fundraiser “Bowling for Bruce.” This fun family fundrasing event was set up in memory of her late husband and Stalwart Virginia Trial Lawyer Bruce Rasmussen. It was Bruce Rasmussen of the Michie, Hamlett, Rasmussen & Tweel firm in Charlottesville who got Doug Landau on the Annual Convention Committee and in charge of the sporting events, which now include: skeet shooting competition, running race, tennis round robin and golf tournament. Bruce Rasmussen was also a frequent lecturer and contributer to VTLA, ATLA (now AAJ) and other victims rights and trial advocacy groups. Bruce is missed by us all. He was the consummate trial lawyer and a wonderful friend and mentor. Several clients noticed workers, ladders, compressors and trucks all around the smaller building at ABRAMS LANDAU. We put a

Workers Comp Hearing in Manassas - another “standing room only” trial for the Abrams Landau team, part 2 of 3Posted by: Doug in UncategorizedWhy was this Abrams Landau client’s case so unusual ? This hardworking woman worked not one, two, but three jobs for different employers at Washington Dulles International Airport ! Because the three jobs were “similar” employment, Mr. Landau sought to have the wages FROMA ALL 3 JOBS combined in the calculation of her pre-injury average weekly wage. This effort by experienced workers comp trial lawyer Doug Landau would have the effect of increasing her weekly workers comp checks. He also proved that she was given uniforms by the airline she worked for as well as the global package and delivery company and money for uniforms from FedEx. Mr. Landau is especially proud of the several clients who attended, asked questions and learned while still on crutches and recovering from their catastrophic injuries from their car crashes, ladder falls, airplane injuries, spine trauma, brain injuries, TBI, back operations, orthopedic surgeries, truck accidents, and disability causing conditions. Shown here are the outside of the workers comp Hearing |

When I first moved to Virginia from New Jersey, I was lucky enough to be taken in by Bernard Cohen, and extraordinary trial lawyer from Alexandria, Virginia. Bernard, “Bernie” to his friends and family, was not only one of Old Town’s legal elite, he also served in the Virginia legislature for many years, looking out for the interests of injured victims, their families and counsel. It was his son’s wedding that I rushed from the Columbia (MARYLAND !) Triathlon finish line to make at noon, in Spotsylvania ! We have been close ever since I spent time at his lovely family’s home in 1982 before finding a place of my own.
Landau notes that while it is important to dress conservatively for Court, around the office and on the podium, wearing colors is his rule, rather than the exception.
new roof on our smaller building. Shown are workers in the process of performing this construction work. The building, formerly let out to talented photographer Doran Smith, will be converted from photo gallery to massage studio. Appearing before the Town Council, Doug Landau received permission to sublet the smaller building to two Thai Massage therapists. These specialists have already helped an a staff member of ABRAMS LANDAU, Ltd. with her chronic and intractable back pain. Stay tuned for more updates about our newest tenants…
The TriathlonTrialLawyer managed to win the running competition, but the level of tennis was very high, and he ended up as the third place male. He is shown below with the Male Tennis Winner, Boyd Collier, Jr., of Richmond, on his right, and runner-up, Neil Shulwolf, who like Landau, is a University Of Miami (FL) Law School graduate. On the women’s side, Beverly Mason won the most games, male or female, and the runner up was none other than Doug Landau’s daughter, who is a junior in High School, where she plays on the Madeira Varsity Tennis and Soccer teams. And yes, Doug’s daughter won more games than he did, and will not likely let TheAthletesLawyer forget it anytime soon !
This week’s mail including congratulations to Douglas Landau “on being recognized by Washington DC Super Lawyers as one of the Top Attorneys In The Washington D.C. Metro Area!”
