This is the question that was posed to area lawyers to determine who deserves the distinction of Select Lawyer status. Lawyers were asked to consider reputation within the community and among colleagues and peers, quality of legal assistance provided, experience, educational background, and utilization of best-practice procedures and techniques.
Nominees consisted of lawyers listed with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. This gives all the lawyers in the region an opportunity to participate in the Select Lawyers program. Once the nominations were completed, an independent market research firm, Polk-Lepson Research Group of York, Pennsylvania, collated all the responses and tabulated the results of Select Lawyers.
Once our Select Lawyers list was finalized, the lawyers who were receiving the honor were checked against the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania to make sure they were in good standing.
There are many outstanding lawyers who are not included on this list. A lawyer's inclusion on the Select Lawyers list is dependent on the judgments of his or her fellow lawyers. We feel the Select Lawyers program is an outstanding directory of highly regarded lawyers in Berks County.
