GUILTY Pleasures

Since 2002, BNC has asked all members of the N.C. State Bar to select peers they think are reputable in their fields. Through our online balloting system, 705 attorneys were selected as Legal Elite, fewer than 3% of the state's lawyers. Since 2004, the top vote-getters have been elevated to the Hall of Fame and can no longer win in the same category.
