June-Portland Monthly Magazine lists the 2007 list of Portland’s top lawyers as compiled by The Best Lawyers in America® (Copyright 2006 by Woodward/White, Inc., of Aiken, SC).  Tom Tongue was listed under Bet the Company Litigator and Commercial Litigation, Tamsen Leachman was listed under Labor and Employment  and Gil Parker and Ken Antell are listed under Real Estate.

 

The 2007 edition is the thirteenth 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 in the United States.  Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which 24,000 leading attorneys throughout the country cast almost two million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their specialties, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.  Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers "the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice."
