About John
John Kitzmann earned his J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1994. He completed his legal education during a period of notable change in the profession and entered practice equipped with a traditional common-law foundation from one of the nation's long-established law schools.
He has been active in the legal communities of both Virginia and California. Kitzmann joined Davidson & Kitzmann, PLC as a partner in 2000. That role anchors the middle of his career and marks the longest continuous professional affiliation on his résumé. He also holds memberships in the Virginia State Bar and the Charlottesville Albemarle Bar Association, both since 2000.
His professional associations reflect sustained engagement with trial and local bar organizations. He has been a member of the Thomas Jefferson Inn of Court since 2002 and of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association since 2005. These memberships suggest regular participation in continuing legal education, mentoring, and collegial exchanges that courts and litigators rely upon for practice development and standards of advocacy.
Kitzmann is admitted to practice in both Virginia and California. That dual-jurisdiction status allows him to serve clients whose matters cross state lines or require familiarity with both systems. Over the years he has maintained a practice that keeps those admissions active and uses them to coordinate representation when cases require counsel in either state.
Colleagues describe him as steady in court and practical with clients. He has built a practice around the firm he joined as partner and has kept an active role in local and statewide bar organizations. Those long-term memberships point to a lawyer who values the routine of case preparation and courtroom procedure as much as the procedural and ethical frameworks that govern practice.
Kitzmann’s career combines an Ivy League legal education, a sustained partnership at a local firm, and continuous involvement in professional associations. He currently works at Davidson & Kitzmann, PLC and focuses on trial practice in Virginia and California.
