Oliver Maner, one of Savannah, Georgia’s most prominent law firms, bolstered its reputation with the recent announcement by Best Lawyers, an esteemed peer-review publication in the legal field. Best Lawyers has named 18 Oliver Maner lawyers to its 2023 Best Lawyers in America list and seven to its 2023 Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch list. This recognition is a significant honor, highly regarded by both clients and legal experts, bestowed on a lawyer by fellow professionals.
 
“We are honored by the recognition from Best Lawyers. We strive to exhibit professionalism, and an unwavering dedication to our clients. We are proud to acknowledge those deserving of this accolade,” said Patrick T. O’Connor, Managing Partner of Oliver Maner.
 
The Best Lawyers rating system is based entirely on peer review. The process is designed to capture, as accurately as possible, the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same geographical area and legal practice area. Best Lawyers employs a sophisticated, conscientious, rational and transparent survey process designed to elicit meaningful and substantive evaluations of the quality of legal services. Nominees are submitted by anyone except the nominee, the information is peer reviewed and feedback is analyzed. If selected and all eligibility requirements are met, the results are published in print and online.
