Intentional Torts

The attorneys of MBBTK appear in both the federal and state courts of Virginia, D.C. and Maryland, defending parties against the claims of defamation, malicious prosecution, false arrest, and abuse of process. Our attorneys are experienced in handling these intentional torts, and we realize these claims have serious implications and are often sensitive in nature.

As a threshold matter, we will assess whether the underlying  proceedings and/or incidents rise to the level of these intentional torts, evaluating viable affirmative defenses, such as probable cause. MBBTK’s extensive trial experience and litigation of these intentional tort claims give it an edge to combat such claims and to attack both compensatory and punitive damages.
