Community

At Curcio Law, we believe the best way to handle an accident is to prevent one from happening. We are deeply committed to protecting our community’s most vulnerable road users through hands-on education and advocacy. Tom Curcio regularly presents the End Distracted Driving (EndDD) program to students at Alexandria high schools and new drivers at the local courthouse, sharing life-saving strategies with thousands of young people. Our safety efforts extend to the streets through helmet giveaway drives in Mt. Vernon, Delray, and Springfield, ensuring local children have the gear they need to ride safely. Additionally, Tom takes an active role marshalling bike rides throughout the DMV, most recently in Tysons for Pedal with Petals to teach families how to safely navigate biking on and around city streets.

We believe a law firm should be a pillar of its community, not just a business within it. From Tom Curcio’s past leadership as Board Chairman for United Community to our staff’s annual “Day of Action,” we strive to put our values into motion. Each year, our entire team rolls up their sleeves for the Injury Board Day of Action, which in recent years has included community blood drives, donating toys to children in hospital wards, and supporting local animal shelters.

We are also proud annual supporters of the Center for Alexandria’s Children, a vital organization that serves as our city’s primary resource for the prevention, investigation, and treatment of child abuse. From sponsoring the Beat the Odds scholarship fund for resilient students to providing meals for the Alexandria Sheriff’s Office and Fire Station, we believe in nourishing the people and programs that protect our community.

A defining chapter of Tom Curcio’s career was his pro bono representation of five families who lost loved ones on September 11, guiding them through the complexities of the Victim Compensation Fund and helping ensure they received the support they deserved during an unimaginable time.

Professional leadership and mentorship are core values at Curcio Law. We believe in bettering our profession, investing in the next generation of trial lawyers, and remaining lifelong learners ourselves, because a stronger legal community ultimately benefits the clients we serve.

Tom is a Past President of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association and a returning speaker at Injury Board’s annual conference. Rakin has co-chaired and presented at the 2024 VTLA Advanced Paralegal Retreat, and serves as Vice President of the Foundation of the Alexandria Bar Association and Chair of its Young Trial Lawyers Section. Justin Curcio serves on VTLA’s Ethics and Professionalism and Membership Committees, as well as on the Board of Directors of the Alexandria Bar Association. All of our attorneys regularly moderate, teach, or present at continuing legal education programs and legal conferences.

Beyond the bar, Tom, Rakin, and Justin frequently visit local high school classes to mentor students interested in the legal profession, reinforcing our commitment to developing the next generation of trial lawyers.
