“We are extremely proud of our growing team of talented, dedicated attorneys who work hard every day to deliver for our clients,” said Cal Watson, the law firm’s managing member. “It’s always an honor to be recognized, especially when it comes from peers who understand the work we do.”

Published annually since 2010, “Legal Elite” is determined by a selection process that begins with a nomination from another attorney. The final list is decided by a vote of the more than a thousand active lawyers in the Midlands.
