lawyers have been included in the 2020 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America^© . Lawyers on The Best Lawyers in America^© list are divided by geographic region and practice areas. They are reviewed by their peers on the basis of professional expertise, and undergo an authentication process to make sure they are in current practice and in good standing.

In addition to the Best Lawyers listing, Michael L. Goodman, a founding member of the firm, has been recognized as the 2020 “Lawyer of the Year” for Personal Injury Litigation – Defendants in the Richmond area. Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year,” making this accolade particularly significant. These lawyers are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the peer review assessments. Receiving this designation reflects the high level of respect a lawyer has earned among other leading lawyers in the same communities and the same practice areas for their abilities, their professionalism, and their integrity.
