Best's Review Recognizes Firm As Client-Recommended for At Least 75 Years

Published on: 6/03/2009

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA --- A. M. Best has recognized Sands Anderson as one of the 69 law firms in the country recommended by clients in the insurance industry for over 75 years, firm President M. Pierce Rucker has announced.

"The Best's Review for May includes prominent recognition for us and other firms, and we're pleased to know that we continue to have the confidence of our clients in the insurance industry, many of whom have been working with us since these recommendations originated in the 1930's," said Rucker.

Sands Anderson Marks & Miller appears in a list that is gathered from interviews with insurance company claims management and general counsel in much the same way today that it was in the ‘20s, when A. M. Best began to provide this information to insurance carriers and their insureds, according to the article in Best's Review. The compilation now is called Best's Directories of Recommended Insurance Attorneys and Adjusters.

Founded nearly 170 years ago, Sands Anderson has 70 lawyers practicing among its offices in Richmond, Christiansburg, Fredericksburg and McLean, Virginia, and Raleigh, North Carolina. In 2011, it was ranked 11th in the Virginia Lawyers Weekly annual listing of the state's largest law firms. Sands Anderson provides a full range of legal services to corporations and businesses, healthcare providers, financial institutions, state and local governments, the insurance industry and individuals.
