Raj A. Shah Receives Best Lawyers 2027 Lawyer of the Year Award

 

Hendrickson & Long, PLLC is proud to announce that Raj A. Shah has been recognized as a 2027 “Lawyer of the Year” by Best Lawyers® for Commercial Litigation and Mass Tort Litigation/Class Actions – Defendants.

This recognition is a significant professional achievement. Best Lawyers® uses a peer-review process in which attorneys evaluate the professional abilities of other lawyers practicing in the same geographic and legal practice areas.

The “Lawyer of the Year” designation is notable because it is awarded to just one lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area for each edition. The distinction is based on receiving the highest overall peer feedback.

In other words, Raj isn’t just recognized as an accomplished attorney in his field. His colleagues in the legal profession have recognized him as standing out among other attorneys practicing in these areas.

“Since hiring Raj as a Summer Clerk nearly 20 years ago and working with him closely in the following years, it was self-evident quickly that he was special, both personally and professionally” said Scott Long, co-founder and managing partner of Hendrickson & Long.  “This award is well-deserved and confirms Raj’s special abilities.  He continues to exceed client expectations and serve as a positive role model for all of us as he leads H&L into the future.”

Experience That Benefits Clients

Raj’s recognition reflects the experience and dedication he brings to complex civil litigation. His practice focuses primarily on construction and hospitality litigation, toxic tort defense, insurance defense, product liability, and general litigation.

These cases can involve substantial financial exposure, complicated factual issues, extensive discovery, and multiple parties with competing interests. Raj works to understand the circumstances surrounding each dispute, identify potential risks, and develop a litigation strategy tailored to the client’s needs and objectives.

A Continuing Record of Recognition

The Best Lawyers 2027 recognition adds to Raj’s previous professional accomplishments. He has also been recognized as a Top-Rated Personal Injury Attorney in Charleston, West Virginia, by Lawyers of Distinction and has earned the highest rating possible through Martindale-Hubbell’s Peer Review Ratings.

Together, these distinctions reflect a career focused on providing knowledgeable and effective representation in challenging litigation matters.

For Hendrickson & Long, Raj’s Best Lawyers “Lawyer of the Year” recognition is an opportunity to celebrate not only a professional accomplishment, but also the experience and commitment he brings to his clients.

Congratulations to Raj A. Shah on this well-deserved recognition.
