Woodward White, Inc. recently selected 26 Powell Goldstein attorneys for its 2007 edition of The Best Lawyers in America.

Lawyers were selected for inclusion in this new edition of Best Lawyers based on an exhaustive and rigorous peer-review survey that has been developed and refined for nearly 25 years. Lawyers are not allowed to pay a fee to be listed. Best Lawyers publishes an advertisement-free book each year to honor all those chosen - something that no other survey does. The current edition of Best Lawyers is based on 1.8 million confidential evaluations by only the top attorneys in the country. Best Lawyers also conducted thousands of extensive telephone interviews with leading attorneys throughout its balloting process.
