GENERAL INFORMATION 1 08.06.2009
Bailey & Dixon, LLP is pleased to announce that five of its attorneys have been named to the 2010 edition of Best Lawyers in America®, the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession.
First-time honorees, J. Heydt Philbeck (Commercial Litigation) and Michael L. Weisel (Corporate Governance and Compliance Law) join existing Bailey & Dixon Best Lawyers, David S. Coats (Insurance Law), M. Denise Stanford (Administrative Law) and Carson Carmichael (Administrative Law) in being selected by their peers for inclusion on the 2010 The Best Lawyers in America list.
First published in 1983, Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive annual peer-review survey. For the new U.S. edition, more than 24,126 leading attorneys cast more than 2.8 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in the same and related specialties. Top-ranked lawyers worldwide are asked to cast their votes by answering this question:“If you could not handle a case yourself, to whom would you refer it?”
Because of the rigorous and transparent methodology used by Best Lawyers, 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.”
