For the 15th year, Georgia Trend magazine has recognized Georgia’s top lawyers in its highly anticipated “Legal Elite” list which is published annually in the magazine’s December issue. This year’s honorees represent 16 practice areas from all corners of the state including two lawyers from Oliver Maner, one of Georgia’s highest-rated law firms based in Savannah, Ga.

Over 2,000 lawyer nominations were submitted to Georgia Trend and only the ones with the most votes by their peers were ultimately selected as this year’s “Legal Elite”. Oliver Maner lawyers named to Georgia Trend’s 2017 “Legal Elite” list include:

Patrick O’Connor, Managing Partner - General Practice / Trial Law

Lee A. Summerford, Partner - Corporate Law

O’Connor and Summerford have both been named to Georgia Trend’s “Legal Elite” in past years and in several practice areas. “Being recognized for the work you do is always a special honor,” said Oliver Maner Managing Partner Patrick O’Connor. “However, when it comes from your peers, it means that much more.”
