We are pleased to announce many of our lawyers are named in Business North Carolina magazine’s 2022 Legal Elite edition, a listing of the state’s top lawyers in their respective areas of business practices.  This list acknowledges fewer than 4% of 28,000 practicing attorneys in the state and this year’s class recognizes nearly 70% of Ragsdale Liggett’s North Carolina lawyers in all our core practice areas.  We congratulate those for their well-deserved respect earned among peers:

Business – David Liggett and Dottie Burch

Construction – Melissa Brumback, John Nunnally and Bill Pollock

Litigation – Ed Coleman, Skye MacLeod, Bo Walker and Mary Webb

Real Estate – Ashleigh Black, Richard Bolton, Ashley Campbell, Ben Kuhn and Bob Ramseur

Tax & Estate Planning – John Cella

Young Guns – Paula Murray

Since 2002, Business North Carolina’s Legal Elite has been a special feature that profiles the state’s most respected attorneys as voted by their peers. BNC curates its listing through ballots sent to every member of the NC State Bar living in North Carolina, and asks “Of lawyers observed firsthand, whom would you rate among the current best in these business categories?” Voters are not allowed to vote for themselves and may only select members of their own firms if they also select out-of-firm lawyers in the same categories, with the out-of-firm votes weighted more heavily. Top vote-getters are ultimately named to the final list.

The complete list of 2022 winners appear in the January issue of Business North Carolina: https://businessnc.com/legal-elite-2022-north-carolinas-top-lawyers-chosen-by-their-peers
