James S. Bostwick Earns 37th Selection to The Best Lawyers in America©

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- James S. Bostwick is the archetype for Best Lawyers©, a global legal service regarded among the world's most trusted attorney rating organizations. Established in 1983, it's become the gold standard for objective, meaningful evaluations of attorneys across the U.S. and countries abroad, and an invaluable tool for consumers in search of proven and highly respected legal advocates.

That reputation is due in large part to its extreme selectivity; only the most accomplished and acclaimed make its annual lists, and only after passing a multi-phase selection process based purely on peer review.

Inclusion in Best Lawyers is a prestigious honor for any lawyer to achieve even once in their career. For an attorney to consistently earn the distinction year after year, especially from the organization's very beginning, is a remarkable and nearly unprecedented feat. That's precisely what Attorney James S. Bostwick has done for nearly four decades.
