In 2005, the law firm was the first plaintiff's injury firm in Virginia selected for membership in a prestigious international group of law firms, called Primerus. Primerus carefully screens law firms and only offers membership to highly skilled and experienced attorneys. The Wall Street Journal reported "[Primerus] wants to offer consumers a way to pick the good from the bad by establishing a sort of 'Good Housekeeping' seal of approval for attorneys." Also, our law firm has the highest available "AV" lawyer rating from Martindale-Hubbell lawyer rating service, and two VA personal injury lawyers with our firm have been designated Virginia "Super Lawyers" and two firm injury trial attorneys have been named among the "Best Lawyers in America" (2010, 2011, 2012 Editions)listing the best, top personal injury lawyers nationwide.
There are a small number of injury law firms that have actually been involved in transportation & auto injury litigation in nearly every state along the eastern half of the USA. (Our personal injury law firm has handled cases in Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Washington D.C., South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Maryland, Tennessee, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Louisiana and beyond). We fight for a level playing field in the civil justice system which includes enforcing civil rights of all our clients.
