About Us

About The Firm

Scott Eggleston grew up in Virginia Beach. He attended Old Dominion University and rowed for them on their crew team.  After graduating from ODU, Scott went to work for GEICO insurance. There Scott spent his time handling bodily injury claims, working with in-house counsel and plaintiff’s attorneys representing injured parties.  

Once I started focusing on the ‘Injured Party’ as a person, not just a claimant, I could hear a fear underneath all the anger and frustration. ‘If I can’t work, what is going to happen to my family?’ ‘What if this pain never goes away?’ ‘What is going to happen to me and how long will it take?’ Stress, anxiety, and a fear of the unknown make any situation worse.

I guess you could say, it was then I realized I could do it better – the helping of individuals or families – without the smoke screens and bureaucracy that larger companies and firms seem to employ.” And without so much as a look over his shoulder, Scott found himself at the University Of Richmond School Of Law, studying the law to arm himself with the knowledge and skills to make it possible to resolve issues and conflicts.

Scott joined the firm in 2008 and took over the management of it in 2011 when Mr. Ivey semi-retired. He fully retired in 2015 and Scott is now the sole owner of Ivey & Eggleston. The Firm has grown since then – it now has 5 full time Attorneys including Scott, Beth McQuaid who handles Estate Administration, Madison Hildebrant who handles Estate Planning, Ben Warren who handles Medicaid Asset Protection and John H. Kornegay who handles Estate Planning.

Scott’s goal is to continue to grow the firm, constantly improving their processes to meet the changing needs of their clients. If you need a will drawn up to protect your family, or you are thinking about retirement and what long term care needs might do to your assets, consider calling Ivey & Eggleston to guide you through the process.
