At the tail end of last December and into January, we conducted our biennial Leading Lawyers Peer Review survey, mailing more than 2,000 attorneys and judges who practice law in throughout the Eastern Shore and/or Anne Arundel County. We would like to thank
brthe many area attorneys who took the time and effort to fill out the official ballot and return it to us, resulting in the largest return rate in the history of this project. (Only original ballots were accepted, no duplicates.) The ballots are all anonymous, or we would thank them individually.
A true peer review survey is a rarity in this day and age—most publications don’t take the time and trouble to do the large mailings and ballot tallying—which makes these results all the more meaningful. These are not “editors’ picks” or the result of limitless ballots from the general public. These honors only come directly from other attorneys and judges—people who really know what it takes to be a good lawyer right here on the Shore. We are especially gratified because we believe this biennial poll provides an invaluable service to our readers.
The following names, in 18 categories, represent the individuals who clearly received the most substantial amount of votes, not everyone who was nominated. Some categories list more names than others. This is as a result of the especially active voting in those categories. Attorneys are listed in alphabetical order by last name. They are all Leading Lawyers.—James Houck
