(1) For workplace injury & social security disability  I  have been rated "AV" by Martinadale-Hubbell in 2003, the highest rating given by that organization as a Virginia lawyer or attorney. The seal below verifies this rating by this organization.

(2) I was rated one of the best attorneys for Workers' Compensation in Central Virginia in the July 1999 Richmond Magazine in a survey of 2,000 lawyers.
