The National Trial Lawyers: Top 40 under 40 is a professional organization composed
of the top trial lawyers from each state or region who are under the age of 40.
Membership into The National Trial Lawyers: Top 40 under 40 is by invitation only and
is extended exclusively to those trial lawyers practicing civil plaintiff and/or criminal
defense law.
Membership is extended solely to the select few of the most qualified attorneys from
each state who demonstrate superior qualifications of leadership, reputation, influence,
stature and public profile measured by objective and uniformly applied standards in
compliance with state bar and national Rule 4-7. Invitees must exemplify superior
qualifications, trial results, and leadership as a young lawyer under the age of
40. Selection is based on a thorough multi-phase objective process which includes peer
nominations combined with third-party research.
Each of our distinguished Top 40 under 40 members strives to
encompass the knowledge, skill, experience and success held by only the best lawyers
in America. It is our mission to promote a unique and professional networking
opportunity for young lawyers, while developing progressive ideas to pursue justice for
those injured by the negligence of others, to educate the public about the importance of
access to courts that are free of bias and undue influence, and to protect the right of trial
by jury
Two attorneys from D’Amore Law Group have been selected to join this group – Amy
Bruning and Sean Stokes.
