"It is a great honor to receive the Best Lawyers recognition because it is based on the opinions of other lawyers. It is gratifying to know that my colleagues from around the state and even nationally, think so highly of our work," commented Attorney Marshall.

He is also listed in the current edition of Best Lawyers in America.
