Stone, Pigman, Walther & Wittmann, L.L.C.

Eighteen Stone Pigman Lawyers Named Best Lawyers in America 2008
Stone Pigman Walther Wittmann L.L.C. is pleased to announce that eighteen of its lawyers, representing sixteen areas of law, were recently selected by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America 2008 edition.

This is the fourteenth edition and since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence in the United States. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which 18,000 leading lawyers throughout the country cast more than a half million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their specialties, 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 lawyers in practice."
