Gould Cooksey Fennell is excited to announce that four members of our team have been selected to the 2023 Edition of Best Lawyers® in America. The Best Lawyers® recognition is professionally and publicly realized as one of the most credible sources of legal expertise in the United States.
Todd Fennell, David Carter, Dane Ullian, and Justin Larson will be featured in this prestigious publication. As Best Lawyers® is the oldest and most respected lawyer ranking service in the world, the attorneys selected will be published in leading local, regional and national publications across the globe.
To be chosen, each attorney must first be nominated. Then, they go through a rigorous peer-review survey compromising more than 7.8 million confidential evaluations by top attorneys. Their process is designed to get the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same metropolitan region. After the results are reviewed, and the candidates are confirmed to be in good standing with their local bar associations, the results are released to the public.
Our attorneys have been chosen to be recognized in the 29th edition of The Best Lawyers ® in America in the following practice areas:
David M. Carter is recognized for his work on behalf of plaintiffs in Personal Injury Litigation for the 11th consecutive year.
