Ten Lawyers Named 2019 Best Lawyers

Simon, Peragine, Smith & Redfearn is pleased to announce that ten lawyers have been included in the 2019 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America.  Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence.

Best Lawyers has published their list for over three decades, earning the respect of the profession, the media, and the public as the most reliable, unbiased source of legal referrals.  Its first international list was published in 2006 and since then has grown to provide lists in over 75 countries.  Lawyers on The Best Lawyers in America list 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.

Simon, Peragine, Smith & Redfearn would like to congratulate the following attorneys named to 2019 The Best Lawyers in America list:

In addition to being named a Best Lawyer in America, both Denise Puente and Bruce Shreves have been selected as “Lawyer of the Year”.

Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year,” making this accolade particularly significant. These lawyers are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the peer review assessments.

Receiving this designation reflects the high level of respect a lawyer has earned among other leading lawyers in the same communities and the same practice areas for their abilities, their professionalism, and their integrity.
