Thompson Coe Attorneys Recognized on 'Best Lawyers' 2024 List, "Ones to Watch" and "Lawyer of Year"

The Best Lawyers in America has recognized 34 Thompson Coe attorneys, including 14 on the Ones to Watch and one on the Lawyers of the Year in the 2024 edition. Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence, and an unbiased source of legal referrals worldwide.

In this year’s list, Thompson Coe was recognized across 13 practice areas and added 15 attorneys to the combined lists. The Ones to Watch are recognitions given to attorneys for outstanding professional excellence in private practice who are earlier in their careers, typically 5-9 years in practice.

Lawyers on these lists are divided by geographic region and practice areas. They are reviewed by their peers on the basis of professional expertise, and undergo an authentication process to make sure they are in current practice and in good standing.

Thompson Coe added many new attorneys to both lists this year, and included below next to their name is the first year the attorney was recognized.
