“I am delighted that Ross, Phil and Kim are being recognized for their efforts,” said WHD’s Chief Executive Paul Eberle. “Our mission at WHD is client success and all three of these fine attorneys have very strong track records of delivering solutions for the clients they serve.” Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive 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 is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”
