James Scott Farrin's Leila Hicks Honored by the North Carolina Bar Association

DURHAM, N.C., July 1, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- James Scott Farrin attorney Leila Hicks has been recognized by the North Carolina Bar Association (NCBA) Young Lawyers Division with the Charles Blanchard Young Lawyer of the Year Award for distinguished and meritorious service. The annual award was established to honor young lawyers and was named for the founding chair of the Young Lawyers Division (1953-55).

This is far from the first honor for rising personal injury star Hicks. In 2017, Hicks was named to The National Black Lawyers "Top 40 Under 40" list.* In 2020, she was inducted into the North Carolina Pro Bono Honor Society. And in 2021, she was named to the "Best Lawyers in America" "Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch" list.* Awardees on the "Ones to Watch" list are recognized as extraordinary attorneys who have been in private practice for fewer than 10 years.

These accolades come as byproducts of a daily push to help people in need. "My goal as an attorney is to allow my clients to breathe easier because they have my help," said Hicks. In addition to fighting for her clients, one of Hicks' main goals is bringing opportunity to young students and inspiring them. As the Law Student Director for the NCBA's Young Lawyers Division, Hicks uses her passion and ingenuity in an effort to connect law students with the resources that they need.
