David Hillier, Best Lawyers 2013 Lawyer of the Year Winner

Gum, Hillier & McCroskey, PA, is pleased to announce that David R. Hillier has been named Best Lawyers’ 2013 Asheville Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights / Insolvency and Reorganization Law “Lawyer of the Year.” Mr. Hillier has consistently been named in Best Lawyers in America for several years.

in 2009’s 15th edition of Best Lawyers® in America, “Lawyers of the Year” were first designated in high-profile legal practice areas. Only a single lawyer in each designated high-profile practice area per metropolitan area is honored as “Lawyer of the Year”. As such, this accolade is particularly significant. “Lawyer of the Year” honorees are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages during Best Lawyers’ exhaustive annual peer-review assessments. This designation reflects the high level of respect a lawyer has earned from the leading lawyers in the same communities and practice areas for their integrity, professionalism and legal ability.

“We continue to believe — as we have believed for over 30 years — that recognition by one’s peers is the most meaningful form of praise in the legal profession. The Editors of Best Lawyers would like to congratulate all of the lawyers who have been selected as “Lawyers of the Year” for 2013”, says Best Lawyers:

The current, 17th edition of The Best Lawyers in America (2011), is based on nearly 3 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers.[/quote]
