Phelan Petty Partners Selected for 2024 Best Lawyers in America®
Please join us in congratulating partners Jonathan Petty and Michael G. Phelan for being selected for inclusion in the 30th edition of Best Lawyers in America®!
Best Lawyers® compiles an annual list of attorneys across the country who have been recognized by their peers as outstanding in their work. You cannot purchase a place on the list, and selection one year does not guarantee inclusion the next. All eligible lawyers must be nominated by other attorneys – self-nomination is not allowed – and must be in good standing with their Bar.
About Best Lawyers®
Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers® has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Best Lawyers recognitions are compiled based on an exhaustive Purely Peer Review® evaluation. More than 123,000 industry-leading lawyers are eligible to vote (from around the world), and they have received more than 20 million evaluations on the legal abilities of other lawyers based on their specific practice areas around the world.
For the 2024 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, more than 13.7 million votes were analyzed, which resulted in more than 76,000 leading lawyers included in the milestone 30th edition.
