Additionally, Tom Cullen was named "Baltimore Lawyer of the Year for Personal Injury Litigation – Defendants."
Recognition in Best Lawyers® is based on a peer review and voting process. The results are analyzed as to professional abilities within geographic regions. This publication is used by in-house counsel to research options for outside legal expertise. Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers® has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. 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."
