RICHMOND, VIRGINIA -- Three lawyers from the firm of Sands Anderson Marks & Miller are currently serving on the Board of Directors for the Metropolitan Richmond Women's Bar Association, firm President M. Pierce Rucker reported today.
Jayne A. Pemberton is Vice President and an officer. Margaret F. Hardy is Chair of the Judicial Candidate Endorsement Committee. Robin A. McVoy is co-Chair of the Public Service Committee. Elections and Board appointments were completed last May and the first Board of Directors meeting was on September 3, 2008.
"The firm's Board of Directors is pleased that these lawyers are involved leaders in this important professional organization," Rucker said.

All three lawyers have significant trial practices among state and federal courts. Pemberton is a member of the Risk Management practice group and handles premises liability and other tort defense. Hardy and McVoy are both members of the Healthcare practice group and defend medical professionals before regulatory bodies and in malpractice litigation.
