We are pleased to announce that our partner and firm founder, Erwin Shustak, has been selected by his peers for inclusion in Woodward & White's 24th edition (2018) of Best Lawyers in America®. This is the second year in a row that Erwin was selected for inclusion in this exclusive list of prominent attorneys, where he was recognized by his peers for his work in the field of Financial Services Law.
Best Lawyers in America® has been published for more than three decades, and is recognized world-wide by the legal profession, the media, and the public, as the most reliable, unbiased source of legal referrals anywhere. Selection into Best Lawyers in America® is based purely on a peer based selection and vetting process. Each year a list of outstanding attorneys is compiled by conducting exhaustive peer review surveys in which tens of thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. If the votes for an attorney are positive enough for recognition in Best Lawyers, that attorney must maintain those votes in subsequent pools to remain in each edition. Lawyers are not permitted to pay any fee to participate in or be recognized by Best Lawyers.
Best Lawyers peer-reviewed listings are now published in almost 75 countries around the world and represent the top 5% of practicing attorneys in the United States. The 24th Edition of Best Lawyers in America® (2018) includes approximately 58,000 U.S. attorneys in 140 practice areas, covering all 50 states and the district of Columbia, and inclusion in this year's publication is based on more than 7.4 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers.
We congratulate Erwin on this impressive accomplishment!
