Additionally, R. Briggs Peery earned the “Lawyer of the Year” Award in Atlanta for the category of Workers’ Compensation Law – Employers.
Since it was first published in 1983, The Best Lawyers in America has become a definitive guide to legal excellence and has highlighted the top legal talent in the country. Its lists are compiled through exhaustive peer review surveys in which tens of thousands of attorneys vote on the abilities of other lawyers, and inclusion is highly credible and an honor.
“It is always an honor to have so many of our attorneys represented on this list, especially because it is based largely on the opinions of fellow attorneys,” Swift Currie Managing Partner Terry O. Brantley said. “This recognition reflects our attorneys’ commitment to providing excellent, results-driven service in any type of litigation matter our clients may face.”
