Wilson Turner Kosmo LLP partner Robert Shields has received the DRI Lifetime Community Service Award.

Known as the “Voice of the Defense Bar,” DRI is the largest international membership organization of attorneys defending the interests of business and individuals in civil litigation.

Shields received the honor based largely on his efforts with A Night to Remember, a nonprofit organization he founded in 2011 with his wife, Cheryl.

A Night to Remember is a San Diego County prom for high school students with special needs, including autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy and other physical challenges.

Shields’ legal practice focuses on the representation of automobile, motorcycle, automotive component parts, and industrial equipment manufacturers who have been sued for damages in catastrophic injuries.
