% For the fifth time, Georgia Super Lawyers has named Bill Ragland one of the state’s Top 100 attorneys.

 

Georgia Super Lawyers is a listing of the top five percent of lawyers in the state who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The multi-step process involved soliciting nominations from attorneys across the state (lawyers were not allowed to vote for themselves), followed by a thorough case-by-case review of each nominee. Georgia Rising Stars recognizes outstanding attorneys who are 40 or under, or who have been practicing for 10 years or less. No more than 2.5% of Georgia lawyers are named to this list.
