Butzel Long attorneys named to The Best Lawyers in America® 2013
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DETROIT, Mich. – Forty-nine Butzel Long attorneys have been chosen by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® 2013 (copyright 2012 by Woodward/White, Inc. of Aiken, SC).
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.”
“Best Lawyers is premier peer recognition,” said Justin G. Klimko, President, Butzel Long. “It is an honor for the firm to have many of our attorneys recognized by Best Lawyers.”
