We are proud to celebrate seven Breit Biniazan attorneys recognized in the 2027 editions of The Best Lawyers in America and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America for their work representing plaintiffs.
This year’s honorees reflect the depth of experience across our personal injury team, from attorneys who have earned recognition from their peers for years to emerging trial lawyers building their careers advocating for injured people.
Four Breit Biniazan Attorneys Named to The Best Lawyers in America 2027

Three Attorneys Recognized by Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America 2027

Alexis Bale | Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs
Alexis Bale earns her first Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® recognition in 2027. A William & Mary Law School graduate with a strong background in trial advocacy, Alexis earned multiple honors for her courtroom skills during law school and now brings that foundation to her work representing personal injury clients at Breit Biniazan.
Lauren Martin | Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs
Lauren Martin also receives her first Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® recognition in 2027. A Norfolk native and Washington and Lee University School of Law graduate, Lauren brings experience in criminal defense and trial practice to her personal injury work, along with a strong commitment to serving clients and the Virginia community she calls home.
What Best Lawyers Recognition Means
Best Lawyers recognition is based on a peer-review process in which attorneys evaluate the professional abilities of other lawyers within their geographic region and practice area. The Best Lawyers in America recognizes established attorneys across a range of practice areas, while Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America recognizes attorneys earlier in their private-practice careers.
For us, having attorneys represented across both lists makes this year’s recognition particularly meaningful. It reflects decades of experience within our firm while also recognizing attorneys who represent the next generation of our personal injury and trial practice.
Proud to Celebrate Our 2027 Best Lawyers Honorees
At Breit Biniazan, awards are worth celebrating, but our work always comes back to the people who trust us with their cases. Behind every personal injury claim is a person or family dealing with real loss, change, and uncertainty. Our responsibility is to fight for the recovery they need to move forward.
We are proud to congratulate Kevin Biniazan, Don Scott, Allen W. Beasley, Jeffrey A. Breit, Justin M. Sheldon, Alexis Bale, and Lauren A. Martin on their 2027 Best Lawyers recognition. These honors reflect the experience, advocacy, and commitment to clients that our team brings to every case.
