Durham, NC, October 24, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The Best Lawyers in America® publication has named the partners at Thomas, Ferguson & Mullins, L.L.P. for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® 2015, as selected by their legal peers. William J. Thomas II was named for Criminal Defense: Non-White Collar. Jay H. Ferguson was named for: Eminent Domain and Condemnation Law. Philip A. Mullins IV was named for: Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs.

“Our legal peers are surveyed for this award. Earning their respect means a lot to me,” said William J. Thomas II.

“Protecting my clients’ rights in land condemnation and property cases is very rewarding,” said Jay H. Ferguson. “However, to be professionally recognized by other attorneys for my work is also very rewarding.”

"My work with plaintiffs to secure their best outcome can be challenging,” said Philip Mullins. “So earning this honor from my peers in the field carries extra weight for me."

Best Lawyers® has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence since it was first published in 1983. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which almost 50,000 leading attorneys cast nearly five 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.”

Thomas, Ferguson & Mullins, L.L.P. was also honored in the 2011-14 Best Lawyers® list of “Best Law Firms.”
