Two more lawyers named to the inaugural edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch<\/em><\/p>\n

It goes without saying that this year has been one for the record books. We’ve all had the distractions of kids and dogs running through our Zoom calls, or we\u2019ve discovered that our significant other has an entirely different \u201cwork tone\u201d that we\u2019ve never heard before.<\/p>\n

Through it all, the attorneys at\u00a0Estes Thorne & Carr<\/a>\u00a0have kept a keen eye on moving our clients\u2019 legal needs forward. It is always a pleasure to receive some outstanding news that celebrates the impact our attorneys have made for our clients.<\/p>\n

We are proud to say that eight of our Estes Thorne & Carr family members have been selected for the 2021 edition of\u00a0The Best Lawyers in America<\/em><\/a>, one of the oldest and most highly respected U.S. attorney guides. Inclusion in the publication is based on confidential peer-review surveys submitted by attorneys who practice in the same legal fields and within the same geographic regions.<\/p>\n

In addition, the organization chose 2021 to release the inaugural edition of\u00a0Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch<\/em>. This separate distinction is given for outstanding professional excellence to attorneys who have been practicing for five to nine years. Two of our attorneys are receiving this first-time honor, which employs the same\u00a0Best Lawyers<\/em>\u00a0peer-review methodology.<\/p>\n

We must say that having this many of our lawyers representing the highest-quality standards of the legal industry in nine individual practice areas is especially rewarding, given the size of our firm.<\/p>\n

Read on to find out the details.<\/p>\n
