For the third year in a row, Lynchburg Living is your source to find the region’s best lawyers. From criminal defense to adoptions to wills, our 2019 Top Lawyers list shows you who lawyers themselves recommend in 26 practice areas.

Why is this peer-to-peer recommendation important? Because if a lawyer has a good reputation among their peers, you have some assurance knowing they will be honest, professional and hardworking when they work with you or your business.

On the following pages, learn more about two top-rated lawyers in the wills, trusts and estates specialty along with five common mistakes people make when writing (or, in some cases, not writing) their wills. You’ll also find the complete listings as well as informative profiles about lawyers in the region.

When you see those teal banners or plaques around town at your favorite restaurants, shops and destinations, those businesses deserve the bragging rights! This year in our annual Best Of Lynchburg contest, we logged more than 203,000 votes on our website. The businesses and people who made it onto the following pages have earned a spot on our 2019 list.

So sit back, prop up your feet and flip through to see who is the best of the best, according to our loyal readers.

Lynchburg Restaurant Week 2018 is presented by Lynchburg Living Magazine.

For a full week in June, we turn the phrase “let’s go out to eat” from an excuse (unmotivated, lack of food in the pantry, etc.) to a meaningful celebration of the Hill City’s thriving restaurant scene.

Our popular Lynchburg Restaurant Week is back for its 7th year with a big change you may notice. For the first time, restaurants can set the price for their discounted menus, allowing for a lot more creativity in choices for you. One carryover from 2017 is our featured nonprofit—Meals on Wheels of Central Virginia. This year, 25 percent of our business sponsorship proceeds are going straight to this incredible organization.

Flip through the following pages to see the mouthwatering menus from this year’s 30 participating restaurants—and start planning your stops today! Or for more information go to, lynchburgrestaurantweek.com.

Spelling out what makes a great work environment is somewhat of an inexact science. But who better to determine that than the employees who experience it day in and day out? So we’re asking that employees nominate their places of work for the second annual “Best Places to Work” contest. This competition recognizes and honors companies that deliver a true commitment to their employees by advancing operational ideals and promoting productive environments just to name a few.

The questions that follow will focus on work culture, training and development opportunities, tangible and intangible benefits, and employee satisfaction among other things. Please Note: the survey must be completed by a current employee of the business being nominated. Nominators may be contacted for further comment.

The Fine Print

• Only one nomination  per business is required to be considered.
• Nominations run from November 9 – December 31

The Contest has Ended,  winners will be chosen by a panel and will be featured in the June/July 2018 edition of Lynchburg Business Magazine.
