101 Porter Wright attorneys recognized by The Best Lawyers in America® 2013
One hundred and one attorneys from Porter Wright Morris & Arthur are recognized in the latest edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, including 10 attorneys named for the first time.
Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 36,000 leading attorneys cast almost 4.4 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers "the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice."
"We are honored to have such a large number of our firm's exceptional attorneys recognized by their peers in the legal community through acknowledgment in the Best Lawyers' 2013 listing," said Robert W. (Buzz) Trafford, Porter Wright’s managing partner.
A complete listing of all Porter Wright attorneys recognized by The Best Lawyers in America® 2013 (Copyright 2012 by Woodward/White, Inc., Aiken, SC) follows.
