Richard H. Greener Recognized in Lawdragon As One The Leading Lawyers In America

Richard H. Greener has been recognized as one of the leading 3000 lawyers in America, as well as, one of the leading 500 trial lawyers in America for 2011. 

The Lawdragon 500 is the most selective designation an attorney practicing in the United States can achieve.  It is an annual look at the practitioners, judges and academics who are handling the biggest cases and deals and making the greatest impact on the law.  All 1.1 million practicing U.S. lawyers can be considered.  However, in its three years, there are specific characteristics shared by members of the list:

• In practice at least 15 years, and generally 20.
• A partner in a law firm (unless that person is a judge, academic or public lawyer). No associate has ever been accepted and “counsel” are almost never included.
• Playing the lynchpin role in current cases or deals making headlines.  Supporting players are more likely to be Finalists, but rarely in the 500.
• Generally a very significant business developer for his or her firm.  Those not known for bringing in business typically exhibit unique skills in analysis, writing or specialized areas of legal thought.
• Have brought change to a legal institution or development of legal theory.
• A member and generally a leader of their practice or geographic bar association.
• Recognized by admission to “member only” bars selected by their peers.
• Receive numerous positive endorsements from national peers and almost never negative responses.

The Lawdragon 500 is the ultimate guide to the best lawyers in the nation, representing far less than 1 percent of the legal profession.
