John A. Singleton, a partner at GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys, was recognized by the Gloucester Board of Supervisors at their April 4 meeting for his 15 years of legal service to indigent defendants.
Reading the Resolution of Recognition, Board Chair Chris Hutson stated, “John Singleton has served as court-appointed counsel for indigent defendants in the General District Court since 2007. Singleton has been dedicated to serving the Court and the citizens of Gloucester. His performance and working relationships were always characterized by obvious dedication. The Board congratulates Singleton and deems it an honor and a privilege to present this Resolution of Recognition for his service.”
Singleton was recommended for the honor by Judge Stephanie Revere of the General District Court of Gloucester.
Ken Gibson, Singleton’s law partner and member of the Gloucester Board of Supervisors, said, “I’ve been John’s partner for 10 years and shared an office with him for longer. One thing I can tell you about John is that he puts his heart and soul into every case he takes on. He truly has compassion for every client and his dedicated service has been such a benefit to our courts and our community.”
Following the recognition, Singleton thanked the Board and Judge Revere and said, “A justice system without representation is unjust. Virginia has the lowest pay rate for court-appointed counsel in the entire country, but we are all proud of the work we do.”
