“To have so many of our attorneys selected is quite an honor,” said Mike Sterling, Managing Partner. “Vandeventer Black’s inclusion in Best Lawyers demonstrates our commitment to excellence, and to our clients, and we are honored to be recognized as the best among our esteemed colleagues throughout the region.”
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 almost 50,000 leading attorneys cast nearly five 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. The 22nd Edition of The Best Lawyers in America (2016) includes more than 55,000 attorneys in 140 practice areas, covering all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
