Peter T. Mott was named Best Lawyers® 2017 Trusts and Estates “Lawyer of the Year” in Stamford.  Only one estate planning practitioner is appointed “Lawyer of the Year” by Best Lawyers® in each metropolitan region.  This marks the second time Mr. Mott has been tapped for this honor by Best Lawyers®.  He was first named “Lawyer of the Year” in 2013.  In addition, Mr. Mott was selected by his peers for inclusion in the 23rd Edition of The Best Lawyers in America© 2017 in the field of Trusts and Estates Law.  Ronald B. Noren and James E. Rice were also listed in the fields of Trusts and Estates Law and Energy Law, respectively.  All three principals have been selected for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America© in their respective fields in several prior editions.  Mr. Mott has been included since 2005, Mr. Noren since 2013, and Mr. Rice since 2006.

Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers® has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Best Lawyers® lists are compiled based on an exhaustive peer-review evaluation.  For the 2017 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America©, 7.3 million votes were analyzed, which resulted in approximately 55,000 leading lawyers being included in the new edition. Lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed; therefore 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.”  For more information, visit http://www.bestlawyers.com/about/MethodologyCT.aspx.
