Profile

Luke Malloy is a native of Amherst County, however he attended law school and began his legal career in Charleston, South Carolina. During his time in Charleston, Luke gained extensive trial experience while serving the community as an assistant public defender with the Charleston County Public Defender’s Office. Luke later entered private practice representing injured parties throughout the state of South Carolina. Before attending law school, Luke earned his B.A. at James Madison University. While his passion is trial work, Luke understands that it is often best to settle matters without the need for litigation. Whether he is in or out of the courtroom, Luke fights zealously to achieve the best results for his clients.

His employment law practice includes counseling management, litigation services, and handling employment claims with administrative agencies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Virginia Employment Commission, and the U.S. Department of Labor. Some of the many employment issues he handles include discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful discharge, noncompetition disputes, wage and hour claims, breach of contract, and employee benefits. Luke also assists employers with the preparation and revision of employee handbooks, employment contracts, severance agreements, noncompete agreements, and other forms of planning designed to avoid employment disputes.

Luke is a member of the Virginia and South Carolina bars, and is admitted to practice before the Federal District Courts of the Eastern and Western Districts of Virginia. Luke spends his spare time at his family’s residence in the mountains of Amherst County, where he enjoys fishing and hiking.
