About Law Offices of Leah V. Durant & Associates
The Law Offices of Leah V. Durant & Associates is a boutique law firm based in Washington, DC, that focuses exclusively on vaccine injury litigation. The firm represents individuals nationwide who have been injured by vaccines covered under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, guiding clients through claims filed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. The firm's practice covers a wide range of vaccine-related injuries, including Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA), Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis, Transverse Myelitis, Brachial Neuritis, anaphylaxis, Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, Bell's Palsy, and injuries linked to flu, HPV, MMR, hepatitis B, tetanus, rotavirus, and pneumococcal vaccines, among others. The firm reports having served 1,500 clients, a 98% success rate, and covers all fees and costs for clients, working on a contingency basis so injured individuals are not required to pay out of pocket to pursue a claim. The firm is led by founding partner Leah V. Durant, who also serves as President of the United States Court of Federal Claims Bar Association, the court in which all vaccine injury claims are adjudicated. The firm maintains offices in Washington, DC (1717 K Street NW, Suite 900) and Arlington, VA, and represents clients from all 50 states and U.S. territories. In addition to litigation, the firm publishes resources and FAQs to help vaccine-injured individuals and families understand the claims process and their legal options.
