November 23, 2009
RICHMOND, Va. – Troutman Sanders LLP is pleased to announce that partner James C. Roberts has been named as the “Richmond Personal Injury Litigator of the Year” for 2010 by Best Lawyers.
After more than a quarter century in publication, Best Lawyers is designating “Lawyers of the Year” in high-profile legal specialties in large legal communities.
These specialties are Banking Law, Bet-the-Company Litigation, Corporate Law, Family Law, Personal Injury Litigation, and Real Estate Law, and only a single lawyer in each specialty in each community is being honored as the “Lawyer of the Year.”
Best Lawyers compiles its lists of attorneys by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. The current, 16th edition of The Best Lawyers in America (2010), is based on more than 2.8 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers.
The lawyers being honored as “Lawyers of the Year” have received particularly high ratings in Best Lawyers surveys by earning a high level of respect among their peers for their abilities, professionalism, and integrity.
At Troutman Sanders, Roberts is a member of the firm’s Energy, Complex Litigation, Governmental Law and White Collar and Governmental Investigations practice groups, as well as a member of the firm’s pro bono committee. Over the years, he has developed and maintained a reputation as one of Virginia's most skilled trial attorneys, often called upon by other lawyers, within the state and elsewhere, to assist with major trials and appeals.
Roberts is a Fellow in the American College of Trial Lawyers, and is active in the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, the American Board of Trial Advocates, the American Bar Foundation, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and serves on the boards of numerous community and professional organizations. He is a past President of the Virginia State Bar and Richard Bar Association.
