The biennial peer review survey from 2020–2021
The following lawyers, in 20 categories, represent the individuals who clearly received the most substantial amount of votes during our biennial peer review survey, most recently conducted this year. 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 Eastern Shore. No attorney paid to be on this list, however those lawyers who have purchased advertising in What’s Up? Eastern Shore magazine this year have their full contact information included on their individual listing. Knowing who legal professionals consider the best in their respective fields is an invaluable asset.
