Best Lawyers in America 2011 Honors Jay H. Ferguson in Peer Review of Eminent Domain and Condemnation Law
Durham, NC, October 13, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Jay H. Ferguson was recently selected by his peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® 2011 in the field of Eminent Domain and Condemnation Law. (Copyright 2010 by Woodward/White, Inc., of Aiken, S.C.).
“Advocating for landowners in their rightful quest for full and fair compensation when their land is taken is demanding but satisfying,” said Jay H. Ferguson. “I am humbled to be professionally recognized by other attorneys for my work in land condemnation cases and look forward to representing landowners for many years.”
Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 39,000 leading attorneys cast almost 3.1 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”
