The personal injury law firm of Marks & Harrison has announced that four of its attorneys have been selected for inclusion in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® and Ones to Watch®. The recognition highlights the firm's depth of legal talent and its continued commitment to representing accident and injury victims across Virginia and the Washington DC Metro region.
Since 1983, The Best Lawyers in America® has served as a respected peer-review publication, listing attorneys who have demonstrated exceptional performance in their respective practice areas and geographic markets. The selection process is designed to be unbiased and independent of marketing influence or paid listings, relying on rigorous peer evaluations and authentication. Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® focuses on attorneys who are earlier in their careers but have already shown outstanding professional excellence in private practice.
Three Marks & Harrison attorneys have been named to the 2027 Best Lawyers list: Gregory S. Hooe for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs; John C. Shea for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs and Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs; and Ryan T. Walker for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs. In addition, Joel R. McClellan has been recognized again as a Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® honoree for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs, an honor he has received every year since 2022.
The implications of this recognition extend beyond individual accolades. For clients seeking legal representation, inclusion in these lists signals that the attorneys have been vetted by their peers and are considered leaders in their field. For the firm, the honors reinforce its reputation as a powerhouse in personal injury law, potentially attracting more clients and top legal talent. The repeated recognition of McClellan also demonstrates the firm's ability to nurture and develop rising stars in the legal community.
