T. Scott Jones, co-founder of the law firm Banks & Jones, was recently named to both the Million Dollars Advocates Forum and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum. The group is made up of trial attorneys across the country who have successfully obtained a jury verdict, binding arbitration agreement or settlement for a client in at least one or two million dollars.“I’m very pleased to have been selected for the group,” said attorney T. Scott Jones. “My firm works very hard to obtain verdicts and settlements that will actually compensate our clients for their losses. Some of the victims we have represented face a lifetime of pain and suffering; their whole worlds are ripped apart. We fight for these kinds of compensation awards because our clients need them in order to pay their medical bills and support themselves and their families. This is a real honor, and I am very thankful to have been chosen.”
About the Million Dollar Advocate Forum
The Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum were established in 1993 as recognizing litigators who could secure large settlements and verdicts on behalf of their clients: “The common fact is that they have each demonstrated, in an objective and tangible way, their ability to accomplish superior results in complex cases. Certification by the Million Dollar Advocates Forum provides recognition of such accomplishment and a national network of experienced colleagues for information exchange, assistance and professional referral.”
In order to be accepted, applicants must
• Currently be a member of the Bar
• Be in good standing by their Bar
• Have served in the role of principal counsel in:
- A court or jury trial
- A binding arbitration agreement
- A settlement negotiation
• Successfully secured an award in the amount of one million dollars or two million dollars (for the Multi-Million Dollar Advocate Forum, specifically) that “must apply to the economic present value of the award, not the overall payout amount”
• Be willing to submit to the verification process by the Forum to ensure that he or she and his or her award do, indeed, fit the requirements
Applicants who have fulfilled the requirements are granted a life-long membership to the Forum(s). The Forum has around 4000 members in its ranks across the country. In total, less than 1% of all US attorneys are selected for the group.
