Attorneys Anabel Rosa and J. Gabe Talton at the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin recently received the Citizen Lawyer Award from the North Carolina Bar Association (NCBA). The award was established by the NCBA in 2007 to recognize and thank lawyers who volunteer their time and provide exemplary public service to their local or statewide communities. Past honorees include elected and appointed government officials, coaches, mentors, and voluntary leaders of non-profit, civic, and community organizations.
Anabel Rosa is an attorney-shareholder at the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin who actively takes on leadership roles tackling social issues, especially in the Latino community. Her current community and civic activities include:

Rosa received the 2018 Triangle Business Journal “Women in Business” award and the 2019 ‘Diversity and Inclusion Award’ by “North Carolina Lawyers Weekly.”
On receiving the Citizen Lawyer Award, Rosa said, “As I get older, I see more clearly that we are ALL connected to each other by invisible threads. I know that if it wasn’t for the efforts of people who cared, starting with my family members and ending with dedicated and caring community members, I wouldn’t be who I am today. It comes naturally for me to give back and do the things I do because it’s what I learned from the people who raised me and from the ones who mentored me along the way. I only hope that I can be an example of this same spirit to my own children and to others in the community.“
