Mr. Breit’s father originally started a law firm that trained many of the lawyers now practicing law in Hampton Roads, including all of his sons. Billy graduated from Northwestern University in 1975 and the Marshall Wythe School of Law at the College of William and Mary in 1978. He has been practicing personal injury litigation in Hampton Roads, Virginia, and Pennsylvania continually since. One of Mr. Breit’s greatest legal victories was establishing the parental rights of fathers in Virginia who conceive children using in vitro fertilization. These landmark decisions decided by the Virginia Supreme Court at L.F. v. Mason 285 Va 163 (2013); in the Virginia Court of Appeals at Breit v. Mason 59 Va. App. 322 (2011).
