The Best Lawyers in America®, which is now in its 27th year, is one of the most highly regarded attorney referral publications in the country.

Skeeters. “This recognition is an impressive testament to the legal knowledge and excellent client service to which our attorneys are committed.”

Attorneys are selected for Best Lawyers through extensive surveys of leading lawyers who assess the legal abilities of their peers.
