The Top Ranked Law Firms were named in Fortune Magazine’s 2012 Investor’s Guide and are also featured on CNNMoney.com, law.com and martindale.com.

The ratings were based on the percentage of AV® Preeminent™ rated lawyers in a law firm.

Ragsdale Liggett exceeded the requirements set forth with 60% of its lawyers having earned the Premier Peer Rating.

According to Carlton Dyce, Vice President, Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings, “Having a large percentage of attorneys with this peer review rating is a reflection of a firm’s expertise, experience, integrity and overall professional excellence. Your firm’s lawyers are part of a select group recognized for exceptional legal abilities and professional ethical standards.”

Martindale-Hubbell, a prestigious legal resource, directory and review organization, considered 254,000 law firms in creating its first Top Law Firm Ranking list where only 966 firms were selected according to the peer rating system.
