Celebrating Three Washingtonian Lifetime Lawyers

Proud to announce that three of our attorneys have been named to the Washingtonian’s Top Lawyers Hall of Fame. The honorees include Heather A. Cooper, David L. Ginsberg, and Daniel L. Gray, who collectively are the firm’s founding partners.

About the Washingtonian Lifetime Lawyers Award

This prestigious award is granted to lawyers who have been included on Washingtonian’s Top Lawyers list at least 10 times in the last 15 years. Receiving this award earns lawyers their place amongst an elite group of peers.  Cooper, Ginsberg and Gray have been recognized as “The Best of the Best” in Washingtonian Magazine’s September 2022 issue.

Additionally, the September 2022 issue features the names of every Washingtonian Lifetime Lawyer Achievement Award recipient. According to the Washingtonian, “[The Top Lawyers list] is put together through peer voting – we send surveys to local attorneys and ask them to tell us whom they would turn to if they needed legal help and advice.  Which means that the ones who appear year after year are, in essence, the best of the best among their peers.”

Heather A. Cooper

The Washingtonian Lifetime Lawyer Award is not Cooper’s first achievement. Throughout her 25+ year career, Cooper has been listed in The Best Lawyers in America and was named to the Super Lawyers List (Virginia) for 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 for her work in Family Law. She has also received the AV Preeminent Rating from Martindale-Hubbell.

David L. Ginsberg

Similarly, Ginsberg has been listed in Best Lawyers in America and has been named to the Super Lawyers List (Virginia) for 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Most recently, Ginsberg was recognized by Best Lawyers as the 2023 “Lawyer of the Year” for Family Law in Washington D.C.

He is the recipient of Fairfax Law Foundation’s Humanitarian of the Year Award for 2014 and Fairfax Bar Association’s President Award for 2009. Additionally, he has received the AV Preeminent Rating from Martindale-Hubbell.

Of particular note, Ginsberg has organized the Chipping in to End Domestic Violence Charity Golf Tournament, which over the last 22 years has raised more than $650,000 for Shelter House, operator of Fairfax County’s only 24-hour shelter for domestic violence victims.

Daniel L. Gray

Gray has also been listed in The Best Lawyers in America. He has been named to the Super Lawyers List (Virginia) since 2010, and was recognized in Virginia’s Top 100 Lawyers in 2022.  Gray is extremely active in the Virginia State Bar, Virginia Bar Association, Virginia Family Law Coalition and AAML.  A popular lecturer and presenter, Gray was the recipient of the Virginia State Bar’s Family Law Service Award in 2022 and has also received an AV Preeminent Rating from Martindale-Hubbell.
