J. R. Brooks named Huntsville’s commercial litigation lawyer of the year

Best Lawyers, the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession, has named J. R. Brooks as the Huntsville Best Lawyers Commercial Litigation Lawyer of the Year for 2012.

After more than a quarter of a century in publication, Best Lawyers is designating lawyers of the year in high-profile legal specialties in large legal communities. Only a single lawyer in each specialty in each community is being honored as a lawyer of the year.

Best Lawyers compiles its lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. The current, 18th edition of The Best Lawyers in America (2012 edition) is based on more than 3.9 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers.

The lawyers being honored as lawyers of the year have received particularly high ratings in the surveys by earning a high level of respect among their peers for their abilities, professionalism, and integrity.
