“Now in its sixth year, this awards program recognizes the lawyers across the commonwealth who are setting the standard for other lawyers in Virginia,” stated the article. “‘Leaders’ are recognized for changing the law, serving the community, changing practice or improving Virginia’s justice system, among other accomplishments.”
The honorees will be celebrated at a reception on Oct. 20 at the Science Museum of Virginia in Richmond, and each honoree also will be profiled in a special publication that will be distributed at the event and inserted into Virginia Lawyers Weekly in October.
Kessler is a part of the firm’s Real Estate section, has won numerous awards and been a member of several international, national and regional organizations. He obtained his J.D., cum laude, in 1973 from George Washington University.
