SHARON NELSON IS QUOTED IN VIRGINIA LAWYERS WEEKLY

May 15, 2014

In the article titled “Glad You Asked” of the April 28th edition of Virginia Lawyers Weekly, Sharon Nelson is quoted responding to a survey of Virginia’s lawyers regarding what they think about the bar. The lawyers appear satisfied overall with the performance of the VSB.  On a 5-point rating scale the VSB had a 3.82 rating.

Lawyers feel that the bar does a good job fostering a positive reputation for the legal profession.  Survey responders felt that electronic communications were a “very effective” way to receive the VSB information.  Many of the lawyers appreciated the bar’s online reporting of education credits and the free legal research that is provided.  There was a great rating for the Virginia State Bar’s ethics hotline which provides confidential consultation on questions of professional ethics.

Sharon Nelson (VSB President) was quoted as saying, “I love the fact that the ethics hotline drew such rave reviews, as well it should.”
