Woods Fuller is proud to announce 15 shareholders and attorneys are included in the 30th edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, with one receiving “Lawyer of the Year”, and three being honored in the Fourth Edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America®.

According to Best Lawyers, “our purely peer review methodology is at the core of our company’s credo, as we truly believe the best lawyers know who the best lawyers are.”

For more than four decades, Best Lawyers publications have earned the respect of the profession, the media, and the public as the most reliable, unbiased source of legal referrals anywhere. Candidates can only be considered for one recognition at a time, either Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch or traditional Best Lawyers awards. Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch is not a seed list to Best Lawyers and all hopeful candidates must be nominated and vetted by their peers recognized in Best Lawyers. Lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed; therefore, recognition by Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.
