Cunningham Bounds, LLC is pleased to announce that 12 of our firm’s attorneys have been named to the 2019 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America®. This significant achievement is awarded by one of the nation’s most trusted attorney rating services, which publishes its annual lists as a means to recognize leading lawyers who have demonstrated the highest standards of professional excellence and earned the respect and esteem of their peers.
To be named in the prestigious Best Lawyers list, attorneys must be evaluated through the publication’s rigorous and multi-phase selection process, which conducts independent research into the backgrounds and professional achievements of lawyers nominated by their peers, and third-party analysis of their legal abilities in a particular field of law.

Having one attorney named to the Best Lawyers list is a distinction few law firms are able to claim, but to have 12 attorneys named among the nation’s top legal minds – including many who have been continually selected in previous years, recognized in multiple areas of law, and one who earned the highest “Lawyer of the Year” award (Toby D. Brown) – is a truly remarkable feat that speaks volumes about the talent and passion of our legal team and their breadth of experience.
