Robinson & Lawing, LLP is pleased to announce that nine of the firm’s attorneys have been selected for inclusion in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, with recognition spanning family law, workers’ compensation, insurance and personal injury litigation, corporate law, elder law, and trusts and estates.
The 2027 selections include attorneys whose Best Lawyers recognition spans more than two decades as well as attorneys building newer records of peer recognition. Three Robinson & Lawing attorneys also reach significant recognition milestones this year, while another expands his recognition into two additional practice areas.

Decades of Peer Recognition Across the Firm
Selection to The Best Lawyers in America is based on peer review, with recognized lawyers evaluating the professional abilities of other attorneys practicing within the same geographic and legal practice areas.
The longevity of several Robinson & Lawing attorneys’ recognition is particularly notable in the 2027 edition. Jackson reaches 27 consecutive years, Grantham 23 years, and Brent Helms and Linda Helms each reach 15-year milestones. At the same time, the continued recognition of Allen, Demmitt, Thompson and Scott reflects growing peer recognition across another generation of Robinson & Lawing attorneys.
Together, the firm’s nine 2027 Best Lawyers represent a broad range of Robinson & Lawing’s civil practice and decades of combined professional recognition in the Winston-Salem and Triad legal community.
