BENCHMARK LITIGATION NAMES CUNNINGHAM BOUNDS ONE OF STATE’S LEADING LAW FIRMS
Feb 20, 2014
MOBILE, Ala. – In the 2014 edition of
Benchmark Litigation, the definitive guide to America’s leading litigation firms and
attorneys, Cunningham Bounds was ranked as one of Alabama’s leading
law firms.
Benchmark
awarded Cunningham Bounds a top ranking of “Highly Recommended –
Local Litigation Firms.” The firm was evaluated in the following
practice areas: bankruptcy, class action, environmental, general commercial,
insurance, intellectual property, medical malpractice, personal injury,
and product liability.
As noted in the publication, “the results of
Benchmark Litigation
stem from the culmination of a six-month research period where researchers
conduct extensive interviews with litigators and their clients to identify
the leading litigators and firms. Firms making the statewide list are
considered dominant in their areas, and were recommended as reputable
and effective litigators by both clients and peers. Law firms in each
local market were divided into ‘highly recommended’ and ‘recommended’
categories. All listed firms were consistently mentioned by peers and
clients, but the “highly recommended” firms received the most
mentions, and were held as dominant in their particular jurisdiction.”
In addition to Cunningham Bounds’ firm ranking, six of its attorneys
were named “Local Litigation Stars” in this year’s guide:
Greg Breedlove, Joseph “Buddy” Brown, Toby Brown, Robert Cunningham,
George “Skip” Finkbohner, and Steve Olen. This edition of
Benchmark Litigation
also named David Cain and Robert Mitchell to its “Future Stars” list.
The list of “Local Litigation Stars” for each state reflects
only those individuals who were recommended consistently as reputable
and effective litigators by clients and peers. The list of “Future
Stars” in each state reflects those partners who were consistently
referenced by peers and clients as litigators who are likely to be become
“Local Litigation Stars.”
