Democratic Del. Steve Heretick (D-Portsmouth) was deposed earlier this month in a lawsuit that alleges he was involved in a scheme to illegally take advantage of thousands of people who received settlements from injuries or workplace accidents.
Heretick denies any wrongdoing. His case has drawn little media attention since a 2018 story in the Virginian-Pilot.
But his deposition sworn, pre-trial testimony is the latest sign a federal court is taking the complaint seriously. It alleges the lawyer played an instrumental role in an industry that many consumer rights advocates say is predatory.
At the same time, Heretick is waging a political battle to keep his seat.
