MAINE – Eaton Peabody is pleased to announce that Best Lawyers in America has announced that two of the firm’s attorneys were recently selected by their peers as “Lawyer of the Year” for their work in various practice categories. As stated by Best Lawyers, “[o]nly a single lawyer in each practice area in each community is being honored as the ‘Lawyer of the Year.’”
The Recognized attorneys are:
Edward F. Feibel – Employee Benefits (ERISA) Law
P. Andrew Hamilton – Land Use and Zoning Law
Best Lawyers in America compiles its lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting peer-review surveys in which leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. The recognized attorneys were honored as “Lawyer of the Year” because they received a particularly high rating by Best Lawyers in their practice areas. This high rating is the result of the level of respect among their voting peers for their legal ability, professionalism and integrity.
About Best Lawyers
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.”
