Who do you think are the state’s most effective lawyers? Each December, Georgia Trend magazine’s annual Legal Elite listing highlights the state’s most effective lawyers, as chosen by their peers, in 15 different practice areas.

To nominate, you must be an attorney who lives and practices in Georgia and is a member of the State Bar of Georgia.

You may not nominate yourself, but you may nominate attorneys in your own firm, as long as you nominate an equal or greater number of attorneys outside the firm.
