About Sharif L.
Sharif L. Gray built a legal foundation that moves between military discipline and academic study. He began at Virginia Military Institute, earning a B.A., then took law degrees at the University of Virginia School of Law and later completed an LL.M. at Temple University Beasley School of Law. Those credentials sit behind a courtroom-ready practice.
Gray’s early career choices placed him on a path to trial work. He serves as a trial lawyer at Broughton Injury Law and also owns RVA Trial Lawyers. Those roles have kept him regularly in Virginia courtrooms and in front of juries. He combines day-to-day litigation duties at a firm with the managerial and strategic responsibilities that come from running his own practice.
Colleagues and peers find his background notable for its range. The mix of a military college education, a traditional J.D., and postgraduate legal study creates an unusual professional profile. He has applied that background to civil litigation and trial practice in Virginia. His work requires preparation for contested hearings, evidence presentation, and the repeated demands of trial procedure.
Gray maintains active ties to the local legal community. He is a current member of the Lewis F. Powell, Jr. American Inn of Court. He also belongs to the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association and the Virginia State Bar Military Law Section. Those memberships reflect both a trial-law network and an interest in issues that arise at the intersection of civilian and military legal matters.
In practical terms, Gray’s days are split between representing clients in active litigation and developing his firm’s capabilities. Broughton Injury Law places him in an established trial environment, while RVA Trial Lawyers gives him control over case selection, staffing and litigation strategy. He has handled the routine tasks of discovery and motion practice as well as courtroom advocacy.
Beyond court filings and hearings, Gray participates in the professional life of Virginia’s trial bar. His Inn of Court affiliation and state association memberships mean regular contact with judges and fellow trial lawyers. That contact supports continuing legal education and peer review that influence how he prepares cases.
He is licensed to practice in Virginia and continues to base his work there. He practices in Virginia, concentrating on trial work through his roles at Broughton Injury Law and RVA Trial Lawyers.
