Bell Nunnally & Martin LLP partners Jeffrey J. Ansley and Karen-Lee Pollak have been selected by their peers for inclusion on D Magazine’s “Best Lawyers in Dallas 2015” list.
The “Best Lawyers in Dallas 2015” features attorneys across more than 35 practice areas chosen by fellow Texas attorneys who answered the publication-posed question: “Which Dallas lawyers, of those whose work you have witnessed firsthand, would you rank among the current best?” Respondents were asked to provide two lawyers from outside their firm and one within their firm across all voting categories. After tallying the votes, nominees were evaluated by the magazine’s editors in concert with a panel of attorneys selected by the publication.
“It is an honor for the firm to have attorneys selected to this list. The respect their peers have shown Jeff and Karen is a testament to their fine client work and one more barometer of the high caliber of firm we have worked hard to build,” said James Skochdopole, managing partner of Bell Nunnally.
