COLUMBIA, SC – Benchmark: Appellate, a new guide to the country’s leading lawyers and firms, has named Sowell Gray Stepp & Laffitte, LLC, one of the leading appellate firms in the United States Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Additionally, the guide has named Sowell Gray members Thornwell Sowell, and Robert Stepp as local stars.

The Fourth Circuit covers all of South Carolina, as well as North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland.

Benchmark: Appellate is produced by the publishers of Benchmark: Litigation. That guide, in its fifth edition, highlighted Sowell Gray as one of the top litigation law firms in South Carolina.

Benchmark: Appellate was created to meet a “demand for increased focus on the appellate litigation practice,” the publishers say. Attorneys are selected for both Benchmark publications after extensive face-to-face interviews around the country to pinpoint the best attorneys at both the local and national levels. Additionally, Benchmark says it includes attorneys based on outstanding success during that year, as well as on consistently positive feedback from peers and clients.
