Vincent J. Bartolotta, Jr., Esq. inducted into Dr. Craig Mohnacky of RSF receives
the International Academy of Trial Lawyers 10News Leadership Award for service
Rancho Santa Fe resident Vincent J. Bartolotta, Jr., Esq.
of Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire in San Diego, was recently
inducted into the International Academy of Trial Lawyers
(IATL) at their Mid-Year Meeting held July 22-25.
The International Academy of Trial Lawyers limits
membership to 500 Fellows from the United States. The
Academy seeks out, identifies, acknowledges and honors
those who have achieved a career of excellence through
demonstrated skill and ability in jury trials, trials before the
court and appellate practice. Members are engaged in civil
practice on both the plaintiff’s and the defendant’s side of
the courtroom, and the trial of criminal cases. The Academy
invites only lawyers who have attained the highest level of
advocacy. A comprehensive screening process identifies the
most distinguished members of the trial bar by means of
both peer and judicial review. Bartolotta has been evaluated
by his colleagues and the judges in his jurisdiction and has
been highly recommended by them as possessing these
qualifications and characteristics.
Chartered in 1954, the Academy’s general purposes are
to cultivate the science of jurisprudence, promote reforms in
the law, facilitate the Administration of Justice, and elevate
the standards of integrity, honor and courtesy in the legal
profession.
Bartolotta is a founding partner of Thorsnes Bartolotta
McGuire. He specializes in plaintiffs’ litigation with an emphasis in business disputes, condemnation, and major injury cases. A tenacious litigator, Bartolotta is recognized annually by Woodward/White as one of the Best Lawyers in
America — a recognition he’s received every year since 1987.
He is also a recipient of the San Diego Bar Association’s Daniel T. Broderick Award for Civility, Integrity & Professionalism. He is a past President of the American Board of Trial
