Philadelphia, PA (April 2009) - Roberta “Bobbie” Pichini was recently selected by her peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® 2009, Copyright 2008 by Woodward/White, Inc., of Aiken, S.C.

Pichini, who for more than 25 years has specialized in litigating catastrophic personal injury, medical malpractice and product liability cases, is a fellow in the American College of Trial Lawyers and was the first woman in Pennsylvania to be invited into the International Academy of Trial Attorneys, which limits its membership to 500 active trial lawyers in the United States. She is that organization’s first woman officer. She has served on the Philadelphia Bar Association’s Board of Governors and chaired the Association’s Women in the Profession Committee. She also serves as a delegate to the House of Representatives of the Pennsylvania Bar Association. 

In 2006, Pichini was honored with the Sandra Day O’Connor Award established by the Philadelphia Bar Association, which honors women attorneys who have demonstrated superior legal talent, achieved significant legal accomplishments and has furthered the advancement of women in both the profession and the community.

Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 32,000 leading attorneys cast almost two million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their specialties, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”
