I know of no list, though I am sure the lawyers were identified in some records.  As always, your first stop should be the local resources.  Here is the Giles County website

  Does anyone know of any directory of attorneys that was published for
  Virginia (or nationally) in the late 1800s? I'm interested in seeing if
  there is a listing included for my great grandfather who practiced law at
  that time in Giles County. Thanks!
