Adams and Reese Has Twelve Columbia Office Attorneys Ranked Among 2015 Best Lawyers
September 15, 2014
COLUMBIA, SC – A total of 120 Adams and Reese attorneys, including 12 attorneys from the firm’s Columbia office, have been named to the 2015 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, all selected and voted on by their peers and the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession.
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 almost 50,000 leading attorneys cast nearly five 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.”
Below are all of Adams and Reese’s Best Lawyers honorees for 2015:
