In addition, eight Jackson Kelly PLLC lawyers were named as Best Lawyers’ 2014 Lawyers of the Year. Only a single lawyer in each area of practice in each community is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year.”

First published in 1983, Best Lawyers is based on an annual peer-review survey. Leading attorneys cast votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in the same and related specialties. Because of the 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 an honor.
