It's no secret: Lawyers can get a bad rap. On the list of least-admired professions, attorneys often rank right there with used-car salesmen, meter maids and, well, reporters. But when you're faced with a legal jam, representation can seem like a godsend — in fact, it can mean outright redemption. And then there are the lawyers who go above and beyond, shaping lives and the community as a whole, whether in the courtroom or through charity work.
To recognize the nation's most outstanding lawyers, Woodward/White — publisher of The Best Lawyers in America ®, the oldest peer-review publication in the profession — confidentially surveys attorneys from the previous year's list and asks them to rate their peers. SLM then excerpts the results for the River City region. The outcome? Our list of the region's best lawyers. (And no, attorneys cannot pay for inclusion.) So turn the page, and get to know the attorneys who are making a difference.
