The History of Williams DeLoatche, P.C.

Williams DeLoatche was built on a commitment to strong advocacy, personal service, and deep roots in the communities we serve.

Over time, that commitment has guided our growth — expanding our reach across Virginia while preserving respected legal legacies and moving confidently into the future.

Williams DeLoatche in Hampton Road

Williams DeLoatche was founded in Hampton Roads with a clear mission: to provide skilled, client-focused legal representation while remaining deeply connected to the communities of coastal Virginia.

From the beginning, the firm emphasized hands-on attorney involvement, trusted counsel, and long-term relationships built on integrity.

Growth Through Leadership & Vision

Under the leadership of Wayne Williams and Jonathan DeLoatche, the firm expanded its footprint and capabilities while staying true to its founding values.

Thoughtful growth allowed Williams DeLoatche to better serve clients across the Commonwealth without sacrificing personalized service.

Expanding to Roanoke

In 2022, Williams DeLoatche expanded into Southwest Virginia with the opening of its Roanoke office, led by Steve Baker. This expansion marked an important milestone in the firm’s continued growth and commitment to serving clients throughout Virginia.

Honoring the Legacy

Mapp, Mapp & Klein (Eastern Shore)

Founded in 1908, Mapp, Mapp & Klein served the Eastern Shore of Virginia for more than a century, earning the trust of generations of families.

Today, the Eastern Shore office operates under the Williams DeLoatche name, reflecting a unified firm with a shared vision — one that honors MMK’s legacy while providing the expanded resources of Williams DeLoatche.

"’m incredibly grateful for the support and professionalism I received from William DeLoatche and their team. After my car accident in September 2024, I felt overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next.

"I was involved in two car accidents, both not at fault, one hit and run. My insurance company was being incredibly irresponsible and obstinate in regards to distribution of services and money. Josh Barbosa did everything to mitigate this. He fought tooth and nail and got me the maximum settlement possible. Highly recommend!"
