Houston Harbaugh, P.C. is pleased to announce that 15 lawyers have been included in the 2023 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® and the 2023 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America.

“Best Lawyers was founded in 1981 with the purpose of highlighting the extraordinary accomplishments of those in the legal profession,” said Best Lawyers CEO Phillip Greer. “We are proud to continue to serve as the most reliable, unbiased source of legal referrals worldwide.”

Best Lawyers has earned the respect of the profession, the media and the public as the most reliable, unbiased source of legal referrals. Its first international list was published in 2006 and since then has grown to provide lists in over 75 countries.

Lawyers on the Best Lawyers in America list are divided by geographic region and practice areas. They are reviewed by their peers based on professional expertise and undergo an authentication process to make sure they are in current practice and in good standing.

Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year,” making this accolade particularly significant. These lawyers are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the peer review assessments.

Receiving this designation reflects the high level of respect a lawyer has earned among other leading lawyers in the same communities and the same practice areas for their abilities, their professionalism and their integrity.

Best Lawyers also recognizes associates and other lawyers who are earlier in their careers for their outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States.

Houston Harbaugh, P.C. is pleased to announce that 5 lawyers have been included in the 2023 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America.
