Best Lawyers, the oldest peer-review publication in the legal profession, has named Douglas G. Houser the 2011 "Insurance Lawyer of the Year" for the state of Oregon.
"We are honored and proud that Doug received this distinction," said Beth Skillern, president of Bullivant Houser Bailey. "To be identified by one's peers as the best in one's field is very satisfying. This award follows similar ones from other organizations that have recognized the achievements of our colleague."
Best Lawyers compiles its lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. The current, 17th edition of The Best Lawyers in America (2011) is based on more than 3.1 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers.
The lawyers being honored as "Lawyers of the Year" have received particularly high ratings in the Best Lawyers surveys by earning a high level of respect among their peers for their abilities, professionalism and integrity.
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 the "Lawyer of the Year."
Steven Naifeh, President of Best Lawyers, says, "We continue to believe β as we have believed for more than 25 years β that recognition by one's peers is the most meaningful form of praise in the legal profession. We would like to congratulate Douglas G. Houser on being selected."
