Jones Foster mourns the loss of beloved Partner and Emeritus Board Member H. Adams Weaver, a respected and distinguished member of the legal community.
Mr. Weaver joined Jones Foster in 1988 following his significant contributions to the growth of the law firm Johnston, Sasser, Randolph, and Weaver. Long considered a preeminent attorney in the area of eminent domain and land use litigation, he dedicated his career to the representation of his clients—including developers, utilities, private landowners, and investors—before governmental bodies across the state.
Mr. Weaver’s expertise, professionalism, mentorship, and integrity influenced those with whom he worked, and his legacy will live on in the firm through the impact he made on the profession.
We extend our deepest sympathies to his family at this difficult time.
