Holding Court
These A-list attorneys excel at solving legal matters of every sort.
Even in a civil society, disputes are inevitable. When they arise, we often need help—namely, a skilled attorney driven to find a satisfactory resolution to the dispute—wending our way through the uncharted waters that follow.
A simple Google search will display any number of attorneys with credentials and results sure to impress, so where do you begin your search for the “right” attorney? We’re glad you asked.
We polled our readers for their perspective regarding who they turn to when they need expert legal guidance and representation. The results of that poll are listed on the following pages, along with a few additions based on attorneys we highlighted in these pages earlier this year.
From alternative dispute resolution to workers’ compensation, and everything in between, these are the men and woman your neighbors contact when they need assistance navigating the legal landscape.
Driven to serve and ready to fight, these attorneys are eager to go to the mat for their clients’ rights, both in and out of the courtroom.
