Stephanie E. Grana, partner at Cantor Grana Buckner Bucci, was named Best Lawyers® 2026 “Lawyer of the Year” for both Personal Injury Litigation -
Plaintiffs and Product Liability Litigation - Plaintiffs. Grana has a track record of awards across her decades of experience, earning her the nickname The Attorney Who Doesn’t Sleep.
The selection process makes this achievement particularly impressive—The Best Lawyers in America® only picks one attorney per practice area in each location. Being chosen in two different areas shows just how much respect Grana has earned from fellow lawyers across Virginia.
Thirty-plus years of practice have made Grana one of Virginia's most respected advocates, and her numbers back it up. She's secured more than 85 verdicts and settlements over $1 million—each one representing a family whose world was turned upside down by tragedy. From personal injury and medical malpractice to brain injury and wrongful death cases, she's tackled the kinds of complex litigation that often reshape Virginia law.
When families face their worst nightmare—a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, or harm from a defective product—they turn to Grana for a reason. She doesn't just handle cases; she fights for people. Her approach as a car accident lawyer in Richmond has earned particular recognition, combining thorough investigation with the kind of relentless advocacy that insurance companies have learned to respect.
But Grana's impact reaches far beyond the courtroom. As the 84th president of the Virginia State Bar, she's helped shape the legal profession itself. She's also led the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association and the Virginia Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates—roles that speak to how much her colleagues trust her judgment. Virginia Super Lawyers® has taken notice too, naming her to their Top 10 list for 2025. She's been on their lists since 2007, which tells you something about consistency. Her AV® Rating from Martindale-Hubbell® puts her at the top for both legal skills and ethics.
