FORT MILL, SC, January 19, 2012 – The National Trial Lawyers (NTL) named Robert J. Reeves as one of South Carolina’s top 100 trial attorneys in its latest issue of The Trial Lawyer Magazine.

“I am honored by this recognition,” Reeves said. “South Carolina has thousands of qualified attorneys actively involved in trial practice. It’s wonderful to be considered as one of the best.”

The NTL invites only the attorneys on its list to become members of the organization, making Reeves a part of the exclusive network of the country’s most impressive trial attorneys. As a member, he will attend “high quality, relevant, and innovative legal programs which are essential in dealing with current issues facing the trial lawyer,” according
