Roetzel & Andress LPA is pleased to announce that 60 of its lawyers have been named to the 2016 Edition of Best Lawyers®, the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession.
Best Lawyers has published their list for over three decades, earning the respect of the profession, the media, and the public as the most reliable, unbiased source of legal referrals. Its first international list was published in 2006 and since then has grown to provide lists in over 65 countries.
In order to be named in Best Lawyers®, an attorney must be nominated by another attorney or by a client. The attorney’s name will then appear on a ballot for a specific practice area and geographical region. Nearly five million votes are cast during the selection process. Pending positive evaluation, and good standing with the Bar Association, they may be included in the Best Lawyers list. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”
