Last week, Kyle Zimmermann had the privilege of returning to his alma mater at Regent University School of Law as a panelist for the New Trial Lawyer Advocacy Panel. The panel was sponsored by the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association (VTLA). VTLA is an excellent specialty bar association comprised of trial attorneys promoting collegiality and professionalism in the Virginia Bar. The panel was a great opportunity to speak to law students about a wide range of topics concerning the practice of law, including the average workday, maintaining a work/life balance, and the tools necessary to be a successful litigator in the courtroom.

On June 30, 2025, Jordan Heath completed his term as President of the Newport News Bar Association (“NNBA”). Heath Verser has strong ties to the NNBA, with Len Heath serving as President in 1997-98 and Joe Verser serving as President in 2016-17. Kyle Zimmermann currently serves on the NNBA’s Board of Directors.

Highlights of Jordan’s Year as President included a wonderful and record breaking (for attendance and fundraising) Jazz 4 Justice concert that benefited Legal Aid and the Jazz Department at Christopher Newport University, social gatherings for NNBA members, presentations of continuing legal education seminars, and regular meetings attended by lawyers, judges, Virginia Delegates and Senators, and the Virginia State Bar President. As a result, attendance at NNBA events swelled, and the NNBA was recognized for the first time by the Virginia State Bar’s Conference of Local and Specialty Bar Associations as the Bar Association of the Year.

The Lawyers and staff of Heath Verser congratulate Jordan Heath on his completion of a remarkable term and his dedication to the profession and our community.

Our firm has been a proud supporter of the CNU Jazz 4 Justice concert series since its inception in 2014. This year’s concert, called Generations, was held on April 15, 2025, at the Ferguson Center at Christopher Newport University. Jordan Heath, as President of the Newport News Bar Association, had the pleasure of announcing that the 2025 concert raised over $22,000, with over $11,000 going to each of the concert beneficiaries, the Legal Aid Society of Eastern Virginia and the CNU Jazz Ensemble.

This year’s concert broke our previous fundraising records and was the best attended of all the previous years.

This year was made more special by an expanded community involvement. In addition to the stirring performance by the talented artists in the CNU Jazz Ensemble and the concert’s guest artists, Amber Woodhouse and Hayden Cameron, the concert kicked off with a wonderful performance by the Soundscapes students. Soundcapes is a program that provides immersive engaging music making and ensemble performance opportunities for young people to strengthen social, emotional, creative, and critical thinking skills. And for a third year, members of our firm and other members of the Newport News Bar Association sponsored as special guests, students and chaperones from the Student Trial Advocates Reaching Success (“STARS”) program at the Achievable Dream Academy.

Every year, Heath Verser has provided sufficient funding for the concert series to guarantee that 100% of every dollar raised after our contribution goes to the beneficiaries. For the last several years, the beneficiaries have been the Legal Aid Society of Eastern Virginia and the CNU Jazz Ensemble. Since its first concert in 2014, the CNU Jazz 4 Justice concert series has raised over $125,000 for concert beneficiaries.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support Jazz 4 Justice! Here are some of the photos from the concert.
