Personal History
Hi, my name is D. Wayne O’Bryan. I am a personal injury lawyer in Richmond, VA.
I grew up in an average family and was the first in my family to become a lawyer and only the second to receive a college education. My father was a foreman in a tobacco factory and my mother was a housewife.
I attended law school at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia where I was president of the student body. I went on to be president of the law alumni where I pioneered its first fundraising program, which has since grown to a million dollar a year operation.
After graduating, I practiced law for three years with a firm representing insurance companies. After learning their tricks and seeing their attitudes, I decided I didn’t like the way they operated.
Therefore, I decided to go into general practice on my own where I began representing individuals in personal injury and other kinds of cases.
