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 services provided, experience, educational background and continuing educational endeavors and their utilization of best-practice procedures and techniques.
Nominees consisted of lawyers listed with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, allowing virtually every area lawyer in the region the opportunity to participate. For 2017, the Select Lawyers survey was conducted by the Harrisburg-based FieldGoals.US, a Certified Women’s Business Enterprise (WBENC) providing superior qualitative and quantitative research services for a wide variety of businesses and entities, both in Central Pennsylvania and throughout the United States. Their team of academics- including moderators, interviewers, survey designers and recruiters- excels at full-service, impactful research initiatives. As legal research specialists, FieldGoals.US was thrilled to conduct the 2017 Select Lawyers survey.
Once our Select Lawyers list was finalized, the lawyers receiving the honor were checked against The Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania to ensure the nominees were in good standing and were contacted to verify the information listed.
There are many outstanding lawyers who are not included on this list. A lawyer’s inclusion on the Select Lawyers list is based on the judgements of his or her fellow lawyers as a peer review. We feel the Select Lawyers program is an outstanding directory of highly regarded lawyers in the Lehigh Valley.
