09.15.2008

RALEIGH, NC -- Poyner Spruill today announced that 25 lawyers from the firm were recently selected by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® 2009.

Best Lawyers bases its listings on an exhaustive and rigorous peer-review survey of the legal profession in which attorneys nationwide are asked to rate the top practitioners in their areas of practice in their jurisdictions. Because listings are based on the votes of other lawyers and cannot be bought, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.
