Fifty-Four Hodgson Russ Attorneys Named to Best Lawyers 2013

Fifty-four Hodgson Russ attorneys have been selected by their peers for inclusion in Best Lawyers in America 2013® (Copyright 2012 by Woodward/White, Inc., of Aiken, S.C.). Because Best Lawyers is based on an in-depth 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 may be considered a singular honor. Best Lawyers was first published in 1983.

The names of Hodgson Russ’s included attorneys follow, organized by the practice areas in which they are listed in the guide. The year each attorney was first listed follows his or her name. Attorneys listed in Best Lawyers do not decide the practice areas in which they are included; their listings result entirely from the votes they receive.
