J. Jonathan Schraub, managing shareholder of the D. C. Regional Office at the Sands Anderson PC law firm in McLean, has been recognized by Best Lawyers in America as "Washington, DC Best Lawyers Legal Malpractice Lawyer of the Year" for 2011.

According to Best Lawyers' Director of Research Kristin Greer, "Lawyer of the Year honors are given to those with the highest averages - from our standard process of balloting - in a given practice area and metropolitan area...a ‘best of the best' recognition."

"Jon Schraub has achieved widespread notice as a skilled courtroom advocate for lawyers who are clients of the firm and this honor is a measure of the extent of that well-deserved reputation," said M. Pierce Rucker, president of the law firm.

We would like to congratulate J. Jonathan Schraub on being selected as the ‘Washington, DC Best Lawyers Legal Malpractice Lawyer of the Year' for 2011."
