Chicago (January 11, 2017) — Ten Clifford Law Offices attorneys have been selected by the Illinois legal community in 2017 as Leading Lawyers or Emerging Lawyers.
Eight Clifford attorneys are designated 2017 Leading Lawyers, an honor that includes fewer than 5 percent of registered Illinois lawyers as named by their peers in statewide surveys. Six Clifford attorneys have been Leading Lawyers continuously since the program began in 2003-2004. Also, three other Clifford lawyers are Emerging Lawyers, a status generally reserved for practitioners age 40 or younger and limited to fewer than 2 percent of the state’s registered attorneys.
In building its Leading Lawyers list, Law Bulletin Publishing Company conducted extensive statewide surveys asking: “If you couldn’t take a case in your area of law, to whom would you refer a family member or friend?” Lawyers could not nominate themselves or any lawyers at their own firm. All recommendations must be approved by the Leading Lawyers Advisory Board, eliminating the possibility of lawyers being selected through a popularity contest.
In creating its Emerging Lawyers designation, Law Bulletin Publishing Company surveyed each Illinois Leading Lawyer asking for the names of the state’s top up-and-coming talent.
“Bob Clifford and several of the lawyers at Clifford Law Offices consistently appear in our surveys and on our Top 10 and Top 100 lists,” said Scott Anderson, director of Leading Lawyers and publisher of Leading Lawyers Magazine. “There’s little doubt about how highly the legal profession regards the Clifford Law Offices’ Leading Lawyers and Emerging Lawyers of today and tomorrow.”
