RCD Attorneys Named to 2019 Business North Carolina’s Legal Elite

Four attorneys from Rayburn Cooper & Durham, P.A. have been recognized by their peers as 2019 “Legal Elite” in Business North Carolina Magazine’s annual list.

 

Ross Fulton – Litigation

James Gatehouse – Business

Jack Miller – Bankruptcy

 

In addition, Rick Rayburn previously received the distinction of being named to the “Legal Elite Hall of Fame” for Bankruptcy Law.

 

Legal Elite Methodology

Each year, Business North Carolina sends ballot notices to every member of the N.C. State Bar living in North Carolina — asking each a simple question: Of the Tar Heel lawyers whose work you have observed firsthand, whom would you rate among the current best in these categories? Voters are not allowed to vote for themselves. They may select members of their firms only if they pick out-of-firm lawyers in the same categories, with the latter votes weighted more heavily.
