Marks & Harrison has proudly secured a spot among the best law firms in the 2026 Richmond Times-Dispatch “The Best” awards. This prestigious recognition is determined entirely by community nominations and reader votes, underscoring the firm's deep-rooted connection to the clients it serves. Joel R.

This latest accolade joins a banner year of achievements, including being named a top law firm to work for by U.S. News & World Report and receiving the prestigious “Legacy Law Firm” designation from Virginia Lawyers Weekly. These honors highlight the firm's ability to maintain high standards while adapting to the modern legal landscape.
The firm continues to champion the rights of accident victims through a robust team of over 31 experienced attorneys supported by 100 dedicated staff members, research specialists, and investigators. By combining historical expertise with modern legal resources, Marks & Harrison remains a premier advocate for those seeking justice.
