The recognition honors legal professionals who have demonstrated a strong record of securing substantial results for clients in high-stakes litigation. For Riddle, the award reflects a career spent representing North Carolinians whose lives have been affected by serious injuries.
At Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers, the firm’s guiding principle is Justice Counts™. That commitment has shaped the firm’s work on behalf of injured clients and families seeking accountability, financial recovery, and a path forward after life-changing accidents.
While the award highlights major verdicts, the firm says the greater significance lies in the people helped through those results and the futures protected through dedicated legal advocacy.
Understanding the Selection Process for America's Best Advocates
America’s Best Advocates recognizes attorneys who have demonstrated strong results and professional standing in civil litigation.
The organization uses a multi-phase selection process that includes internal research into an attorney’s professional achievements, case results, reputation, and contributions to the legal field. For the Top 10 High Verdict designation, the review focuses heavily on attorneys with a record of securing significant financial recoveries for clients through trials and complex litigation.
The process may also consider online ratings, professional association involvement, advanced legal education, and published works. Together, these factors are intended to identify attorneys with the experience, reputation, and litigation background needed to handle high-stakes cases.
A Career Defined by Advocacy and Compassion
The legal path following a serious accident is often paved with uncertainty. When an individual or family faces the power of large insurance companies, they need a representative who understands the nuances of the law and possesses the tenacity to see a case through to a verdict if a fair settlement is not offered. Gene Riddle has spent decades refining this balance of professional skill and personal empathy.
Riddle’s recognition reflects decades of work handling complex cases where the stakes are highest. His cases have involved catastrophic injuries, complex liability disputes, and claims against powerful insurance companies.
Since 2000, Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers has recovered more than $900 million for clients, (see disclaimer below). Those results represent compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses tied to serious injuries. See disclaimer below.
This award points to the work behind each case: listening to clients, building strong claims, and helping injured people pursue accountability after life-changing accidents.
