Birmingham, AL -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/20/2016 -- Massey, Stotser & Nichols, a law firm in the Birmingham metro area, is announcing that attorneys Randall W. Nichols and Anne Lamkin Durward have been named to the 2016 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America list. This list is compiled each year by U.S. News and World Report and has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence since it was first published in 1983.

Shea Waldrop, the firm's Controller, stated "Nichols and Durward were selected by their peers for inclusion in the listing for The Best Lawyers in America in 2016 in the field of Family Law because of their dedication to their clients and breadth of their legal knowledge."

Waldrop goes on to say, "Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-reviewed survey in which almost 50,000 leading attorneys cast nearly five million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice."

Massey, Stotser & Nichols has been awarded a Tier 1 ranking on the Best Law Firms list for the second year in a row. This tiered ranking is based on feedback from both clients and other lawyers regarding a firm's expertise, responsiveness, understanding, cost-effectiveness, and civility. Clients also have the opportunity to share whether or not they would feel comfortable referring another client to the firm as part of the ratings.

For the lawyers and firms that make the yearly list based on this feedback, it is an accurate reflection of their consistent display of dedication to maintaining the high standards of the legal profession.
