Adams and Reese has 110 attorneys, covering 67 practice areas, named to the 2013 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. Adams and Reese had 97 attorneys ranked last year.
For 30 years, Best Lawyers has come to be regarded by both the legal profession and the public as the definitive guide to legal excellence in the United States. The 2013 Best Lawyers in America list, the 19th Edition, is based on a national survey involving more than 4 million detailed evaluations of attorneys voting on their peers.
Because of the rigorous and transparent methodology used by Best Lawyers, 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.”
