Lynchburg Living Top Teacher Award Winners 2019-2020






Top Lawyers 2020

Even if you walk the straight and narrow, we’ll all need legal help at some point in our lives. Whether it’s a typical home purchase or a rare estate settlement following the death of a relative, lawyers are there to guide us through some of life’s biggest moments.

For the fourth year in a row, Lynchburg Living is your source to find the region’s best lawyers. We once again partnered with Date Joe Research Company to conduct a peer-to-peer survey within the local legal community.

The lawyers included on this list were nominated by fellow lawyers. That says something about their integrity and professionalism.

You’ll find the full list of this year’s lawyers on the following pages—plus, we’re taking a closer look at real estate law and the top mistakes people make when buying a home.

Chosen by the people, for the people of greater Lynchburg.

After gathering a staggering 106,000 votes on our website, the results of the 2020 Best Of Lynchburg Awards are in. Dozens of area businesses, destinations, people and more are getting recognition for their strong local following—all thanks to you, our loyal readers.
